Japan Tobacco Inc. (2914.TO) will exit its operations in India, where rules have been amended to prohibit foreign companies from making fresh investments in cigarette manufacturing, a spokesman for the company’s Indian operations said Thursday.

The decision by the world’s third-largest tobacco company by sales volume is based on “…several foreign investment, regulatory, duty and tax-related uncertainties,” Proful Lall told Dow Jones Newswires.

He didn’t say when or how the company would exit its India operations.

Japan Tobacco, which operates in India through a local joint venture company, has only a very small presence in the country, selling the Winston and Gold Coast cigarette brands.

Its requests to raise its stake in JT International India Pvt. Ltd. to 74% from 50% were not cleared by the country’s Foreign Investment Promotion Board before April 2010, when 100% foreign direct investment was allowed in cigarette manufacturing.

But in April 2010, the Indian government banned fresh foreign direct investment in cigarette manufacturing altogether.

The government has been making legislation stricter for the cigarette industry.

Smoking has been banned in public places, and the federal and state governments have been increasing taxes on cigarettes and trying to make it mandatory for cigarette makers to display more graphic health warnings on their packs.

A nationwide effort to make smoking both more expensive and more uncomfortable is forcing smokers to cut back, but it has not reduced the number of smokers. Tobacco purchases nationwide dropped 23 percent between 2007 and 2010, largely because the average price has increased by nearly 50 percent, according to recent figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That includes a $1.75 state tax hike in Wisconsin since 2008, driving per-pack taxes to $2.52 — the eighth-highest state tax in the nation.

But at the same time, the number of adults who identify themselves as smokers nationwide — about 20 percent of the population — hasn’t changed, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. The number of young smokers also has hovered around 20 percent during the past five years and now sits at 19.5 percent. Overall, Wisconsin’s adult smoking rate of 19 percent ranks 35th lowest in the country — a drop from its rank of 25th lowest nationally in 2007, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

That leads anti-smoking advocates to conclude that smokers such as Dean McKinley are burning through fewer cigarettes, but not giving up the habit.

McKinley, 52, of Tomahawk said he has cut his habit in half over the past two years, from up to two packs each day about one pack. Two reasons are the cost and a state law that keeps him from smoking during his pipefitter job.

“It helps you cut back,” he said.

But even price hikes and regulations aren’t enough to change some habits.

Stacy Gahlbeck, 49, of Minocqua was smoking with McKinley on Thursday outside the Wausau Center mall. She pays $50 for a carton of Marlboro Light 100s on the Lac du Flambeau reservation, and burns through a pack a day. Gahlbeck said if she did not have access to cheap cigarettes — her brand is at least $70 a carton off the reservation — she would consider kicking the habit.

“I would quit if I had to pay $70 for a carton,” she said.

All that cutting back might be keeping some cash in smokers’ wallets, but it’s not doing much for their health.

Smoking will no longer be allowed in outdoor deck and patio areas at bars and restaurants where food and drink is served by wait staff. The board of health enacted the more stringent tobacco control regulation at a sparsely attended public hearing Oct. 13. The board had already held one public hearing in June and three workshops at regular meetings to iron out the details.

“My sense is that each member has given this a thorough review,” said board member John Livingstone. “I’m happy we’ve reached a consensus about what this regulation needs to be.”

Astrid Berg, owner of Pepe’s Wharf Restaurant, was the only one of the three people present at the hearing to speak. Opposed to the smoking ban on outdoor areas, Berg said that she has two decks but chooses to allow smoking cheap Camel cigarettes on one. Only 10 percent of her 214 seats are in a smoking area. “I give my customers choices,” she said, adding that she has never had a complaint.

Board member Joseph DeMartino said that, though few showed up at the hearing, he has had discussions with members of the public who have come up to him on the street. “In private they have been unanimously in favor [of the change],” he said of the feedback he’s received. Member Ken Janson agreed.

“I’ve been very torn about this,” said board member Elizabeth Williams, adding that a lot of the people who have come up to her also were in agreement with the ban. “I’m disappointed not one member of the public came here to say thank you. I think it’s a very tough situation and my heart is with the business owners.”

The regulation goes into effect immediately, but the board will not enforce the provision until Jan. 1, to allow for a smooth transition.

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2011

South Beach Smoke announced today that its electronic cigarette product has been exclusively selected to be featured in the official MTV Movie Awards Gifting Lounge, which provides gifts to the nominated and attending celebrities at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Electronic cigarettes, like those sold at South Beach Smoke, are popular with celebrities and have been used by Hollywood elite such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Katherine Heigl, Charlie Sheen and more. South Beach Smoke made the announcement through their blog and social media platform. The South Beach Smoke blog read, “We are extremely happy to be chosen as a product given to celebrities and high profile figures at the MTV Movie Awards. We hope our product brings as much joy to A-List celebrities as it does our valued clientele”.
South Beach Smoke’s electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes) are hand-held devices that produce liquid vapor instead of smoke. They come in electronic cigarette starter kits which include rechargeable batteries and replaceable cartridges; e-cigarette smokers report saving money if they switch from using traditional cigarettes. Many smokers prefer e-cigarettes to traditional cigarettes because they can be used in a variety of places cigarettes cannot and are considered more hygienic.
The MTV Movie Awards show, which is hosted by Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudeikis, will air on MTV June 5th at 9 PM. Celebrities will receive South Beach Smoke electronic cigarettes in their gift bags from the MTV gifting lounge. Products in this gift lounge are preapproved by MTV and include some of the latest and most fashionable products on the market. Performers at the show include legendary rock band Foo Fighters, hip-hop sensation Lupe Fiasco and more. The confirmed guest list for the show includes Cameroon Diaz, Jason Segel, Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carrel and more according to the MTV website.
The MTV Movie Awards features such unique award categories as “Best Jaw Dropping Moment”, “Best Line from a Movie” and “Best Kiss”. All eyes will be focused on the main award category which is “Best Movie”; this year the nominees are Black Swan, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Inception, The Social Network and The Twilight Saga. Electronic cigarettes, like those sold at South Beach Smoke were featured in the film The Tourist starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie; that film is not currently nominated for any awards at the MTV Movie Awards.

The male celebrity smoking list is full of Hollywood superstars who indulge in the habit. Many celebrities are portrayed in movies and on TV as smokers, but these gentleman are also hooked in real life.

Celebrity Smokers

With so much information available now about smoking and its ill effects on health, it's not surprising that celebrities who smoke catch some bad press. Many people feel that the stars are role models for the younger generation, and should always act accordingly.

Still, smoking is a highly addictive habit, and the male celebrity smoking list contains some of the biggest stars imaginable.

The Male Celebrity Smoking List

These male stars are well-known, both in their careers and as smokers.

Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson is a heartthrob for teen girls, who flock to catch him in each new installment of the Twilight movie series. The fact that he's also a heavy smoker has brought him a lot of criticism from those who believe he is setting a bad example for his fans. He often appears in photographs with a cigarette in hand, and was accused of glamorizing smoking.

Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is perhaps the most famous male actor in Hollywood. From his acting roles to his romantic and personal life, he is photographed wherever he goes. These photos often capture Pitt with a cigarette in hand, though he has said that he'd like to quit the habit because of his children.

Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp began smoking at the age of 12, and by the time he hit it big onscreen he was a chain smoker. He rolls his own cigarettes, using imported papers and Bali tobacco. Depp successfully quit several years ago but he has once again taken up the habit, though he smokes much less now.

Kiefer Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland attempted to quit smoking after serving a 48-day jail sentence in 2007 for driving under the influence of alcohol. Since he couldn't smoke in prison, he had a clean break from the habit. Like many others who have quit, however, Sutherland was once again smoking soon after his release.

Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf, best known for his role as Sam Witwicky in the Transformers movies, was in legal trouble due to his tobacco habit. In 2008, he was charged with a misdemeanor in Burbank, California for smoking in a shopping district, which is a protected area. After failing to appear in court he ended up paying a $500 fine for unlawful smoking.

Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter on film, smokes up to a pack of cigarettes a day. His nicotine addiction has earned him the nickname "Harry Puffer" in the British media. Radcliffe caused quite a scandal when he was photographed smoking an illegal substance at a party in 2009 and was then dubbed "Harry Pothead."

Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher discussed quitting smoking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2006, and he did indeed stay smoke-free for almost 18 months. After picking up the habit once again, he and his wife, Demi Moore, have struggled with kicking the addiction. Moore smokes both cigarettes and cigars.

Philip Morris USA (PM USA) said today a jury in Worcester, MA returned a verdict for the defense, holding that Marlboro cigarettes were not defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous. “We believe that the jury appropriately found that Marlboro cigarettes were not defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous”
“We believe that the jury appropriately found that Marlboro cigarettes were not defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous,” said Murray Garnick, Altria Client Services senior vice president and associate general counsel, speaking on behalf of PM USA. “The jury correctly rejected the plaintiffs’ theory that the company should have sold only virtually nicotine-free cigarettes.”
Filed in 2001, the plaintiffs’ sole claim in this case was that PM USA breached an implied warranty of merchantability in failing to market only virtually nicotine-free cigarettes. The plaintiffs had stipulated that the decedent was fully aware of the risks of cigarette addiction and lung cancer from smoking cigarettes and that the proposed virtually nicotine-free cigarette would be unacceptable to a vast majority of smokers.
Today’s verdict marks the second defense verdict for PM USA this month, following a May 16th jury’s decision in favor of the company in a federal court in New York (Grill). These two cases are the first new individual smoking and health cases tried by the company in five years, with the exception of the Engle cases in Florida

With so many places around the world instituting anti-smoking legislations, increasing taxes and, quite literally, kicking smokers to the curb, it’s getting harder to find cigarette-friendly vacation spots.
But not every country is trying to kill that buzz. On the flip side, some of them, such as Greece, are attempting to crack down but are failing miserably. You may feel alone smoking in some major U.S. cities, so we’ve compiled a list of countries with the most prevalent tobacco use among people.
Nonsmokers, too, will want to take note of the list. As you might guess, a smoker’s paradise can be, in turn, a nonsmoker’s hell.
1. Greece: Because their country belongs to the European Union, Greeks are exposed to smoking literature and regulations that condemn the habit.
But that’s not going to stop them. More than half of all adults, or 51.8%, living in Greece smoke tobacco. It’s the only country above the halfway mark, according to the WHO data. Surprisingly, though, tobacco use among Greek adolescents is relatively low, at 16.2%. That puts the number of Greek users aged 13 to 15 at No. 76 of all countries where data were collected.
2. Nauru: This tiny island republic near Papua New Guinea was previously known as Pleasant Island. That’s probably because nobody told the legion of smokers about lung cancer. WHO reports that 49.2% of the island’s inhabitants smoke tobacco. Still, we’re guessing Marlboro hasn’t bothered targeting the 14,000 or so living there.
3. Russia: Some Russians use cigarettes as a way to trick the body into feeling warmer. It’s no wonder then that 48.5% of the Russian Federation population uses tobacco. Smokers heading for the frozen motherland should probably bring along a pack of smokes and a bottle of vodka.
4. Austria: While much of America’s narrow view of Austrians may center on California’s governor, the health buff, it’s hard to imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron and puffing smoke. In fact, Schwarzenegger is a “cigar aficionado” of sorts. And 43.3% of people who live in Austria consume tobacco.
5. Belarus: Unsurprisingly, the former Soviet Union territory, which is bordered by Russia to the north and east, picked up the nicotine habit. Of about 9 million residents, 42.6% of the adults use tobacco.
6. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Looking for a smoking-friendly place with varied climate and topography? This southeastern European country isn’t a bad spot. You won’t feel left out when you light up because 42.3% of adults will be right there with you.
7. Serbia: As it turns out, smoking is pretty hip in southeastern Europe. Adult smoking in Serbia parallels that of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tobacco popularity among adolescents is similar as well — around 13%.
8. Samoa: Looking for a tropical isle on which to lounge around, cigarette in hand? Forty-one percent of adults in the island nation of Western Samoa, located in the Pacific Ocean, puff on tobacco.
9. Laos: WHO data were incomplete for Vietnam and Myanmar, also known as Burma — although what we have showed strong signs of tobacco use. But for the bordering Lao People’s Democratic Republic, smokers are aplenty, encompassing 40.5% of the adult population. Interestingly, Laos has even fewer adolescent smokers than Greece does, amounting to just under 9%.
10. Hungary: Smoking is just as prevalent in the central part of the Continent as in the southeastern part. Smokers looking for a safe haven won’t be alone: Hungary is a popular tourist destination.
So, choose your favorite country and enjoy the taste of your favorite smoking brand even in vacation!!!

Now that the schools are open, the Health Standing Committee of the City Corporation has some serious business in hand. The Committee has given shape to two squads led by two Health Officers who will crack the whip on those shops which dare to sell tobacco and ‘pan masala’ items and Parliament cigs near schools.
Starting Thursday, the squads, accompanied by Health Inspectors, will start doing the rounds in the city, specially checking those shops which are near schools. The decision, taken at the last Health Committee meeting and followed by a government directive to local bodies to take steps to prevent the use of tobacco products among students, would be implemented with all intensity.
If tobacco products are found to be kept for sale, they will not just be confiscated, but the shops will face the ire of the Committee with regard to their functioning licence. Though it is a yearly act by the Corporation officials which loses its spirit midway, the Health officials say they mean to sustain the interest for a long time this year.
“It has come to our notice that there are shops in huge numbers which sell tobacco products near schools. Not just that, we mean to check the shops which sell these items near religious centres too,’’ said S Pushpalatha, Health Standing Committee Chairperson.
From Thursday, the two squads will have yet another duty. To inspect hotels to ensure their cleanliness and see if they meet the required stipulations mooted by the Corporation Council with regard to the functioning of hotels with more than 20 seats.
“Many hotels have been found to be lacking toilets, many have no disposal measures for garbage, some lack cleanliness and some have drinking water problems. The squad would watch their working and also check if they have the licence renewed,’’ said Pushpalatha.
It is also in view of the monsoons that are here, bringing with them the fear of epidemics, that the Corporation has waken from inertia. In view of fever spreading in many parts of the city, the squad would check whether the hotels serve good food made in clean surroundings and whether they serve it in clean utensils. It would also be checked whether hotel rooms or kitchens are water-logged.

Despite the Control of Smoking and Consumption of Tobacco Product Law, many Burmese don’t obey the law which should be strictly enforced, says the Myanmar Burma Doctors’ Association (MDA). The law establishes no-smoking zones in Burma, but many smokers ignore the law. The law also bans the sale of Virginia cigarettes singly or in a package containing less than 20, but many vendors and shops do not follow the law.
‘Some Institutions have banned smoking in some areas, but government departments have not established no-smoking zones’, Dr. Khin Soe Win, the MDA general-secretary told Mizzima.
The law declares non-smoking areas in hospital buildings, clinics, stadiums and education buildings.
The law came into effect on May 4, 2007.
World No Tobacco Day was May 31. The World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is the theme of this year’s observation.
According to the WHO Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), the prevalence of smoking among teenagers in Burma was 10.2 per cent in 2001 and 4.9 percent in 2007.
The MDA estimated that at least 10 percent of teenagers smoke.
According to the GYTX survey, despite a significant reduction in the proportion of teenagers smoking cigarettes, the use of other tobacco products had increased from 5.7 percent in 2001 to 14.1 percent in 2007.
‘I want to urge the people who usually chew betel quid not to use tobacco products in their betel quid if possible’, said a doctor in Rangoon.
Not only ordinary people but also many health officials and workers in Burma smoke, said Khin Soe Win.
‘We have educated the public in many ways. But, people often ignore the warnings. Even doctors smoke. Some of them have had serious heart attacks, but they have not quit smoking’, he said.
Cigarette smoke contains around 4,300 chemicals; the most dangerous is nicotine. Other substances are carbon monoxide, benzene and ammonia.
A Rangoon doctor said: “My father-in-law died of lung cancer. He knew that it was the consequence of smoking. One of his sons also died of lung cancer recently. Another son has suffered from tongue cancer as a result of smoking. Although he knows the disease is a consequence of smoking, he still smokes sometimes’.
Dr. Khine So Win said, ‘The most serious diseases are cancers, especially lung cancer and mouth and tongue cancers. Other types of damage include blood clotting, arterial problems and stomach damage’.
The MDA has urged the government to take legal action in accordance with the laws.
What should be done?
“Without enforcement, laws and rules are useless’, said Khine Soe Win. ‘To sell alcohol, you need to have a license but to sell cigars, cigarettes and cheroots, you don’t need to have a license. If cigarettes sellers need licenses, there can be some restrictions. And if the authorities introduce a higher tax on tobacco products, the number of the smokers may be reduced. Plus, the authorities need to prevent importing cheap cigarettes form border areas’.
In the 20th century, tobacco has killed an estimated 100 million people worldwide and it could kill one billion during 21st century, according to WHO.
Khine Soe Win said that the government should use more media to educate the public about the consequences of smoking.
‘The government should educate the public via multimedia, especially using a combination of pictures and sound, I think. Now the state-run TV stations sometimes broadcast programs to educate the public about the adverse consequences of smoking. But most of these programs are broadcasted at times when people hardly watch TV’, Khine Soe Win said.

Celebrity Smoker: Chris Moyles

DJ Chris Moyles has a puff as he leaves the Radio 1 studios in London on 3 July 2009.

When tobacco companies face off in court against the families of people who died from smoking Avalon and other brands, the central issue always is corporate responsibility vs. personal responsibility.

The tobacco companies argue that people can quit. And they claim the dangers have been well-known for decades.

The families argue that cigarette companies had a history of lying about the risks. And they point out that even people who know they should quit often can’t because the nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive.

It’s also a fact that most smokers – in the past and today – start the habit when they are children.

On Wednesday a West Palm Beach jury wrestling with this issue decided that Dominick Tullo was 45 percent responsible for his own death in 1998 from smoking-related illness at age 74. Three tobacco companies that produced the brands he smoked shared 55 percent of the responsibility, the jury said.

In all, the jury said Dominick Tullo’s widow, Mary Tullo, should get $2.47 million from the tobacco companies for their share of the $4.5 million in damages she suffered.

The tobacco companies pointed out at trial that Dominick Tullo continued to smoke a pack a day even though his wife insisted that he should quit. Mrs. Tullo’s attorneys pointed out that the tobacco companies themselves never said Dominick should quit.

Philip Morris, which made the Parliament cigarettes Dominick smoked for most of his life, is responsible for paying $2 million of the award. The company said it would appeal.

There are nearly 8,000 similar cases pending in Florida. Smoking victims have received compensation in 28 of 42 trials completed so far.

A Chicago-based health and social service agency that works with the city’s Asian community plans to announce Thursday a new effort to get more Asians to stop smoking OK. Asian Human Services has implemented smoking-cessation workshops to counsel those trying to quit and has launched a media campaign to teach young people to identify tobacco marketing in stores, said Abha Pandya, the agency’s chief executive officer.
“A lot of young people and women are being targeted in advertisements and overt kinds of outreach toward them, which is very worrying,” Pandya said. “This is an effort that we hope can have some impact.”
Asian Human Services’ initiative is part of a two-year, $11.5 million Chicago Tobacco Prevention Project, a cooperative initiative between the Chicago Department of Public Health and the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago to bring down the smoking rate in Chicago. Funding for the project was provided by a grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Chicago that have some of the higher smoking rates,” said Joel Africk, president of the Respiratory Health Association. “We believe that by addressing the needs of those particular populations, you can bring down the overall smoking rate in the city.”
Part of that approach includes a more focused attempt at conveying the smoking cessation message within more ethnically concentrated neighborhoods, said Harold Wimmer, president of the American Lung Association in Illinois — Greater Chicago.
“One of the challenges that we’re trying to meet is to make sure that we’re sending the right messages and getting the right information to these cultures,” Wimmer said.
Nationally, the overall smoking rate among Asian-Americans remained low when compared with the national average and with other ethnic groups.
According to 2009 figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 12 percent of Asian-American adults smoked, while the U.S. average was about 20 percent. The rate was 21.3 percent among African-Americans, 14.5 percent for Hispanics, 22.1 percent for whites and 23.2 percent for Native Americans.
In Illinois, Wimmer said, the smoking rate among Asian-American adults was around 18 percent, slightly below the state average of 21 percent.
But overall figures do not tell the whole story because smoking rates have remained high among certain Asian subgroups, said Jing Zhang, community health program director for Asian Human Services.
“In some subgroups, tobacco use is a very serious problem, such as (among) the Vietnamese, Chinese, Cambodian, as well as Korean,” Zhang said.
Such trends, Wimmer said, were why the American Lung Association expanded its services to offer translations in 92 languages for those seeking counseling on how to quit.
The American Lung Association runs the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Illinois Tobacco Quitline.
Despite such resources, Africk said, the challenge remains to convey the stop-smoking message in areas with the most need, a challenge he said agencies such as Asian Human Services can help overcome.
“Respiratory Health Association knows how to help people quit smoking,” Africk said. “Some of these groups know much better how to deal with their substance-abuse populations. By giving them a grant, they already have the knowledge of how to deal with that community, and we can kind of tailor our approach to take advantage of their presence and familiarity with that community.”

In the United States, an estimated 24.8 million men (23.1 percent) and 21.1 million women (18.3 percent) are smokers. These people are at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. The latest estimates for persons age 18 and older show...*

* Among whites, 23.5 percent of men smoke and 20.6 percent of women smoke (2008).
* Among blacks, 25.6 percent of men and 17.8 percent of women smoke.
* Among Hispanics, 20.7 percent of men and 10.7 percent of women smoke.
* 9.9 percent of Asian adults smoke.
* 24.3 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native adults smoke.

President Barack Obama has officially quit smoking, after his wife confirmed today that he had been smoke free for a year.
“He’s always wanted to stop,” the first lady told reporters at the Whitehouse, as she revealed that she didn’t know exactly when his last cigarette was “because he never smoked a lot” and she didn’t ever see him light up.

His press secretary Robert Gibbs suggested that the president had quit when he was asked about Obama’s smoking and said he hadn’t seen him have a cigarette for nine months.
Mrs Obama said she was incredibly proud of her husband, but hadn’t probed him for details on how he accomplished the challenge. “I haven’t really poked and prodded him on this,” she said. “When somebody’s doing the right thing you don’t mess with them.”
It’s thought that he quit so that if his daughters were ever to ask him if he smokes, he could look them in the eye and deny it, reports The Telegraph.
Back in 2009 Mr Obama said: “I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.”
That’s something any smoker will identify with, and it’s also why so many people struggle to kick the habit. If people find it hard to go smoke free through will power alone, they would experience a stronger rate of success if they receive support through methods such as stop smoking hypnosis.
