Beedi rollers are exposed to unburnt tobacco dust through cutaneous and pharyngeal route. The International Labor Organization cites ailments such as exacerbation of tuberculosis, asthma, anemia, giddiness, postural and eye problems, and gynecological difficulties among beedi workers. They are not aware of their rights. Studies have been conducted on beedi workers but not many studies are carried out in rural areas. Thus, any study that is carried out to understand working condition and health hazards in beedi workers residing in the rural areas, adds value to the domain.

  • BAT's Collated Response to SCHEER's Preliminary Opinion on E
    BAT’s collated response to SCHEER’s Preliminary Opinion on E-Cigarettes 26th October 2020 Abstract The conclusions of SCHEER’s Preliminary Opinion lack objectivity, omitting the ‘most recent scientific and technical information available’. The Opinion finds strong evidence for risks of long-term systemic effects on the cardiovascular system, moderate evidence for local irritative respiratory damage, and weak to moderate evidence of carcinogenicity of the respiratory tract. This is in contrast with the widespread available published scientific evidence. SCHEER have not considered positioning e-cigarette effects relative to cigarettes, which is supportive of their reduced risk profile, since they expose users and bystanders to reduced toxicant levels compared to smoking (1-2). There is little evidence nicotine is a risk factor for long-term cardiovascular disease (3-4). Studies have shown smokers who switch to e-cigarettes have significant improvements in their vascular function, with measurable effects in as early as 1 month (5). E-cigarette use has been shown to improve the outcome (harm reversal) from smoking in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients (4). E-cigarettes have significantly lower levels of toxicants compared to cigarette smoke (6) and have been estimated to have cancer potencies less than 1% of tobacco smoke (7). Public health agencies such as the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer state nicotine does not cause cancer (8-14). The Opinion finds moderate and weak to moderate evidence that second-hand vapour is a cause of local irritative damage to the respiratory tract and cancer and cardiovascular disease, respectively. Independent studies from medical and health associations, including the British Medical Association (15), conclude that emissions and second-hand vapour from e-cigarettes do not present any significant health risks to bystanders, with negligible levels of air pollutants compared to cigarette smoke (1,16-18).
