It has been well documented that most smokers begin before they are 18 years old and half before they are 15. Many people who start smoking as youth find it nearly impossible to quit during their lifetimes. For more than 13 years, state and local enforcement officials have been increasingly successful at reducing youth access to tobacco products and improving retailer compliance with the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act, realizing a reduction in the rate of non-compliance by retailers from 19% in 1997 to 5.9% in 2010. The Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act requires retailers to obtain positive proof that the person buying cigarettes is over the age of 18. Retailers found in violation of this law are subject to fines and loss of their tobacco registrations and lottery licenses for repeated violations. The law also limits the location of vending machines and limits the venues in which free tobacco products can be distributed. These enforcement measures are aimed at making tobacco products less accessible to minors and are a part of the State's $59.26 million comprehensive anti-smoking program (2010 expenditures). This Annual Report is prepared by the Tobacco Enforcement Program, located in the New York State Department of Health’s Center for Environmental Health. The report covers the time period October 1, 2009 – September 30, 2010, and includes the following information: ° Number of tobacco compliance checks that were conducted; ° Names and addresses of tobacco vendors who sold tobacco products to underage youth and were penalized; ° New York State results of the 2010 National Youth Tobacco Survey; ° Tobacco sales data from the State Department of Taxation and Finance; and ° Tobacco-related fire injury data from the Department of State’s Fire Reporting System. During the 2009 – 2010 program year, state and local enforcement officers conducted 33,464 inspections of tobacco retailers to assess compliance with the State’s Public Health Law (Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act). Of these inspections, more than 25,032 included unannounced compliance checks where minors attempted to purchase tobacco under the direct supervision of the enforcement officials. Over 8,400 additional visits were made to determine compliance with Department of Health signage requirements and Department of Taxation and Finance registration requirements, to educate retailers about the Public Health Law, to verify vending machine supervision and location compliance and/or to investigate complaints. A total of 1,790 enforcement actions were taken for sales of tobacco products to minors and more than $1.375 million in fines were assessed. In the last 13 years (1997-2010), state grants totaling more than $51.5 million were awarded to local enforcement officials to implement the Tobacco Enforcement Program, which resulted in a decline in the rate of non-compliance by retailers from 19.0 percent to 5.9 percent. From 1997 to 2010, more than $26.2 million in fines have been levied against 36,099 retailers for selling tobacco to minors. The Department of Taxation and Finance has suspended the registrations of 2,441 tobacco retailers as a result of multiple enforcement actions for selling tobacco to underage youth. There were also 631 lottery agent licenses suspended for multiple sales to minors. Of the 483,643 compliance inspections that have taken place during the 13 years, 343,818 were conducted with the assistance of minors attempting to purchase tobacco products. 1 New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Center for Environmental Health Youth Access Tobacco Enforcement Program Annual Report October 1, 2009 – September 30, 2010 Program Overview In September 2010, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) completed its thirteenth program year of youth tobacco access enforcement statewide. As part of the State’s continued commitment to preventing youth access to tobacco, $5.715 million was awarded to local enforcement officers to determine and enforce retail tobacco vendor compliance with Article 13-F of the Public Health Law, also known as the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA). The ATUPA enforcement program is part of the State's comprehensive anti-smoking and tobacco control initiative, the New York Tobacco Control Program (NY TCP). In 2009-2010, the NY TCP was funded through a state appropriation of $55.1 million and a grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of $4.161 million. The NY TCP targets tobacco use by promoting cessation, reducing the social acceptability of tobacco use, preventing initiation, addressing disproportionately high smoking rates in specific population groups and eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke. The NY TCP uses a multi-pronged strategic approach to reduce tobacco use in the population and seeks to impact the population as a whole through: Statewide and community action to change the community environment to support the tobacco-free norm, change community attitudes about tobacco and de-normalize tobacco use. A key outcome of the NY TCP’s community mobilization strategy is the adoption and effective implementation of local and statewide policies that permanently change society’s acceptance of tobacco use. Health communication to increase awareness of the dangers of tobacco use and secondhand smoke and motivate tobacco users to stop, to expose tobacco industry propaganda and de- glamorize tobacco use and educate community members and decision makers about tobacco control. A key outcome of the NY TCP’s health communication strategy is better-educated community members and decision makers who will support effective tobacco control policies and take personal action toward a tobacco-free New York. 2 Cessation interventions to establish and maintain community, governmental and health care delivery systems that promote cessation, increase access to and delivery of evidence-based cessation services and motivate individual tobacco users to quit successfully. Key outcomes of the NY TCP’s cessation interventions are provision of guideline-concordant tobacco dependence treatment by the health care sector and adoption of policies that motivate smokers and other tobacco users to quit. The NY TCP is supported by surveillance and evaluation activities to monitor program progress and impact and by program administration to provide technical assistance and guidance and manage the effective and efficient investment of state tobacco control funding. The NY TCP strives to contribute to the science of tobacco control through surveillance and evaluation of program initiatives

  • 38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—A Listing (173 Pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. Plan from 1959 to Enlist Professor
    38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B.

  • 2020 Tobacco Industry Interference Index
    VIETNAM 2020 TOBACCO INDUSTRY INTERFERENCE INDEX Background and Introduction Vietnam is one of the few countries with the highest rates of adult male smoking (45%). Annually, more than 40,000 deaths from tobacco-related diseases and the number will increase to 70,000 cases per year in 2030 if Vietnam fails to implement strong and effective tobacco control measures.1 The dominant component of the tobacco industry (TI) in Vietnam is state-owned. It belongs to the central government, Ministry of Finance and the communist party. The world’s three biggest transnational tobacco companies have invested and operate in Vietnam through a joint venture and partnership with local companies in production and distribution of their tobacco products. These include: British American Tobacco (BAT), Phillip Morris International (PMI) and Japan Tobacco International (JTI). Overall, Vietnam National Tobacco Corporation (VINATABA) dominates the cigarette market share with 60.5%, followed by BAT Vietnam (23%), Imperial Tobacco (8%), PMI (3.5%), JTI and all other companies have a combined share of 5% in 2018 (Figure 1).2 Vietnam has made much progress in implementing tobacco control measures according to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and in reducing smoking prevalence. However, tobacco industry interference is a problem that challenges and impedes the progress of strengthening of policies to protect public health. This TI Interference IndeX is a civil society report assessing the implementation of FCTC Article 5.3 on the protection of public health policies with respect to tobacco control from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry and its guideline in Vietnam.
