Examination of Voluntary Compliance with New FDA Cigar Warning Label Requirements Examination of Voluntary Compliance with New FDA Cigar Warning Label Requirements Olivia A. Wackowski, PhD, MPH Marin Kurti, PhD Kevin R.J. Schroth, JD Cristine D. Delnevo, PhD, MPH Objectives: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new requirements to strengthen and increase the size of cigar warnings. Although these requirements were challenged in court by the cigar industry, and later struck down, cigar manufacturers had the option of voluntarily complying during the injunction. In this study, we examined voluntary warning compliance on a sample of discarded cigar wrappers. Methods: Warnings were examined on a sample of 1352 discarded cigar wrappers and packs obtained from 15 census tracts in Oakland, California in February 2019. Warnings were coded for new requirement compliance (ie, sized at 30% or more on front and back of pack). Results: Overall, 67.3% of wrappers displayed compliant warnings – other wrappers had smaller warnings only on the front (30.6%), only on the back (1.5%) or no warning (0.4%). Cigar warning placement was significantly associated with brand (p < .01), cigar type (p < .01), and unit size (p < .01). The prevalence of warning compliance was at least 90% for 6 brands but ranged from 0% to 65% for others. Compliance was lowest for cigarillos (62.1%) and packs of 3 (27.6%). Conclusions: Strengthening cigar warnings can help increase their ef- fectiveness, but cigar manufacturers may not voluntarily implement changes fully. Continued surveillance and renewed regulatory efforts are warranted.

  • American Reynolds – Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions 14
    MARKABLES American Reynolds – Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions 14 American Reynolds – Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions White Paper Dr. Christof Binder Schwyz, April 3rd, 2018 Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions Recently, on March 15th, British American Tobacco (BAT) filed their annual report for 2017, including the valuation of the assets purchased with their acquisition of Reyn- olds American on July 25th, 2017. With this report, accounting for brands experienced a historic moment with the reporting of a brand value of US$ 93.6 billion acquired with Reynolds American by BAT. The portfolio of acquired brands includes Newport, Pall Mall, Camel, Natural American Spirits, Grizzly and Kodiak. This is a new all-time high which more than doubles the previous record high of Kraft Foods (2015, US$ 41.3 billion). The brand value embedded the acquisition of Reynolds American is remarkable in three aspects: 1. It is the most valuable brand portfolio ever acquired. What is more, 2. the ratio brand value / brand revenues is amongst the highest ever reported. And 3. the ratio brand value / enterprise value of 89% shows that there were hardly any other assets than brand within this acquisition. The valuation and accounting of brands dates back to the mid-eighties when British and Australian companies like NewsCorp, Reckitt & Coleman, GrandMet and Ranks Hovis McDougall pioneered the valuation, auditing and reporting of some of their brands in their financial statements. According to accounting standards, all acquired brands have to be valued and reported separately since 2000 in the US and since 2004 in most other countries.

  • Cigars Were Consumed Last Year (1997) in the United States
    Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph No. 9 Preface The recent increase in cigar consumption began in 1993 and was dismissed by many in public health as a passing fad that would quickly dissipate. Recently released data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests that the upward trend in cigar use might not be as temporary as some had predicted. The USDA now projects a total of slightly more than 5 billion cigars were consumed last year (1997) in the United States. Sales of large cigars, which comprise about two-thirds of the total U.S. cigar market, increased 18 percent between 1996 and 1997. Consumption of premium cigars (mostly imported and hand-made) increased even more, an astounding 90 percent last year and an estimated 250 percent since 1993. In contrast, during this same time period, cigarette consumption declined 2 percent. This dramatic change in tobacco use raises a number of public health questions: Who is using cigars? What are the health risks? Are premium cigars less hazardous than regular cigars? What are the risks if you don't inhale the smoke? What are the health implications of being around a cigar smoker? In order to address these questions, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) undertook a complete review of what is known about cigar smoking and is making this information available to the American public. This monograph, number 9 in a series initiated by NCI in 1991, is the work of over 50 scientists both within and outside the Federal Government. Thirty experts participated in the multi-stage peer review process (see acknowledgments).
