[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Smoking Has Exploded-3
(Reference [link widoczny dla zalogowanych])[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], This increase coincides with a large increase in smokeless tobacco marketing and the introduction of numerous new smokeless tobacco products. In recent years, the top two U.S. cigarette manufacturers, Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, have entered the smokeless tobacco market both by purchasing existing smokeless tobacco companies and introducing new smokeless tobacco products. These new products have included Marlboro snus and Camel snus that married the names of these companies' best-selling and most youth-popular cigarette brands to pouched smokeless tobacco products called snus. R.J. Reynolds also introduced new dissolvable smokeless tobacco, called Camel Sticks, Strips and Orbs, that look like gum and candy. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], These new products are easy to conceal, carry the names of youth-popular cigarette brands and come in candy-like forms and flavors. In addition, more traditional smokeless tobacco products continue to be marketed in a wide variety of candy and fruit flavors, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], According to the latest data from the Federal Trade Commission, smokeless tobacco marketing totaled $354.1 million in 2006, an increase of 53 percent since 2004. While most cigarette brands have stopped advertising in magazines with large youth readerships such as Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone, many smokeless tobacco brands continue to advertise in these publications, most notably R.J. Reynolds' Camel snus. As with cigarettes, the bulk of smokeless tobacco marketing is spent on price discounts that make these products more affordable to youth customers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The increase in smokeless tobacco use also comes as some smokeless manufacturers have sought to portray their products as a less hazardous alternative to cigarettes. Rather than reducing the number of smokers, today's survey indicates that the main consequence of current smokeless tobacco products and marketing is to increase the number of youth who use smokeless tobacco. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], That is bad news for health because smokeless tobacco is far from harmless. Smokeless tobacco use causes oral cancer, cardiovascular disease, gum disease and tooth decay. It has also been linked to cancers of the esophagus, pharynx, larynx, stomach and pancreas [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tobacco use causes more than 400,000 preventable deaths and costs the nation nearly $100 billion in health care bills each year. We know how to win the fight against this killer. What's needed is the political will to do so [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],Guarantee Delivery!
