Smoking affects all systems of the organism. Smoking stim- ulates the sympathetic nervous system, increases blood pressure and albuminuria, and decreases renal function. Smoking increases renal functional loss in patients with chronic kidney disease. Moreover, smoking accelerates the course of athero- sclerosis, causing cardiovascular complications and premature death. Smoking decreases graft survival in kidney transplant patients. As a result, all physicians and health care providers should acknowledge all patients who smoke about the deleteri- ous effects of smoking and continuously motivate them to stop smoking.

COMMENTS New Players for the Old Tobacco Game: the Czech Republic and Romania; It's Time to Change the Rules Susan Meyer* I. INTRODUCTION Just a few years ago, any Romanian mother and child could have enacted the following scene: A mother and young son are driving in downtown Bucharest. As the woman slows her car to a stop, her son exclaims, "Mommy, Mommy, I see a camel!" In an unperturbed tone, his mother responds, "Yes, dear." "Really, really Mommy! I saw a camel!" the boy shouts. Without taking her eyes off the road, his mother responds, "I saw it too, Honey." "Mommy, why is there a camel on the traffic light?" "It's an ad," his mother says. "An ad for what?" her son asks. "Cigarettes," she responds, slowing down for another yellow, camel-covered traffic light.

In preparing the OFR, we have sought to take into account, where considered appropriate, the best practice set out in the UK Accounting Standards Board’s ‘Reporting Statement: Operating and Financial Review’. We have responded to the spirit of the OFR by offering shareholders a balanced and comprehensive analysis of our current business and describing the significant industry trends that are likely to influence our future prospects. For the first time, we have published our Key Performance Indicators, some other important Business Measures and the Group’s Key Risk Factors. We have also attempted to avoid having too much information in one publication. Our corporate website bat.com has a wealth of material about the Group and, in May 2007, we plan to publish our latest Social Report, detailing progress during 2006 on a range of commitments and actions. We will carefully consider the structure and content of our future reporting in the light of developments in the field and the advice and comments we receive about this publication. The full content of this combined Report is under this flap. Leave it open as a reference to find your way to the different topics covered. Cautionary Statement: the Operating and Financial Review and certain other sections of this document contain forward looking statements which are subject to risk factors associated with, among other things, the economic and business circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the Group operates.

  • Monograph 19: the Role of the Media in Promoting and Reducing Tobacco
    5 Themes and Targets of Tobacco Advertising and Promotion As with any consumer product, tobacco industry marketing efforts show clear evidence of targeting specific population subgroups and using themes and strategies designed to build brand loyalty and market share. This chapter provides an overview of specific themes and population targets employed in tobacco advertising and promotion based on studies of marketing materials and tobacco industry documents. n Key tobacco marketing themes include taste and satisfaction, implied harm reduction, affinity with desirable social characteristics, brand loyalty, and smokers’ rights. n Specific targeting criteria for tobacco advertising and promotion can include age, gender, race or ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Such groups can be targeted directly—for instance, by focusing on rugged individualism for men or weight control for women—or indirectly through adult themes such as independence or peer acceptance that also appeal to young smokers. n Tobacco brands are frequently designed to appeal to specific market segments or population subgroups, such as blue-collar women, African Americans, and young adult smokers. In addition to advertising, promotional channels for tobacco products can include affinity magazines, direct mail, coupons for gift catalogs, and promotional booths at targeted venues as well as other niche-market efforts. Marketing objectives for these channels range from creating new markets to attracting young smokers who are making their long-term brand choice. Understanding targeted marketing is also an important consideration in designing tobacco control efforts. 141 5 .
