    To Whom it may concern ISO Test methods for cigarette tar and nicotine content are outdated and unrepresentative of the actual yield and toxins intake due to smoker compensation - Countries should adopt the Health Canada Intense test method, like RIVM Holland The old and outdated ISO test criteria for cigarette tar and nicotine content used by the HK Government Lab is way out of date. The industry deliberately perforates the filter and paper of the tobacco rods with tiny holes to ‘cheat’ the current ISO machine test methods. What actually happens is the smokers wrap their fingers and of course mouth around the filter to compensate for the additional dilution air being sucked in through the perforations. The ISO smoking test machine is not real world, does not compensate by blocking the holes and hence reveals test results that are far, far lower than the smokers actually inhale. RIVM, the Dutch Ministry of Health, has adopted the Health Canada Intense smoking test criteria which better reveals the actual tar and nicotine in each cigarette rod since they tape over the perforated holes in the same way that the smoker compensates with fingers and mouth, to seal the holes - and then test the actual values. Attached herewith you can see the vast disparities as revealed in the RIVM test data which show the level of toxics which the smokers actually inhale versus the mythical ISO data preferred and provided by the manufacturers. Countries Kong need to switch to the Health Canada Intense method of cigarette testing asap and inform the public accordingly of the actual level of toxins they inhale when they smoke cigarettes.

  • HELEN A. RICH and ALI Degray
    The 2016 Year In Review Is Dedicated To HELEN A. RICH and ALI DeGRAY BY B OB F UNKHOUSER Heiress. Gypsy. Mother. Rescuer. Philanthropist. Fighter. Horsewoman Extraordinaire. Friend To Many. The monikers for Helen A. Rich are as endless as the size of her heart. Dubbed by her local newspaper as the Rebel With A Cause, the first granddaughter of William Wrigley’s son, Philip K., Helen and her family enjoyed traveling, spending summers in Wisconsin, fall in Chicago, winters in Arizona and spring on Catalina Island, where her love for equines was formed. Even before walking, climbing aboard a horse was her favorite activity. Today, that love for horses, ponies and pretty much every other animal on earth, still dominates her existence. “It’s always been my life,” explained Helen. “My grandparents were the first to import Arabians into this country for breeding purposes. Our family trail rides on our Catalina Island ranch was something I lived for. In town there was a local stable that rented horses. A man named Frenchy Small ran it. I wanted to ride all the time.” When Helen was 10 or 11 her parents The dynamic gingers Ali DeGray and Helen Rich live a full life filled with wonderful horses, ponies, divorced and she, her mom Deedie, sister dogs and animals of all types. Misdee and brother George settled down in Arizona. Her mom then married a man named Tom Chauncey and she built a world class Arabian operation in Scottsdale. The rebel side of Helen was part of her teenage years and she left her Arizona family and found her way to Florida to live with her dad and finish high school.

  • Brown & William CEO Tommy Sandefur the Tobacco Hardliner
    Brown & William CEO Tommy Sandefur the tobacco hardliner among ‘Carcinogenic 7.” Former employee: "I have never seen the man exhibit compassion." Book: A Page: 01 Byline: ANDREW WOLFSON From: Source: Publication: The Courier-Journal Correction: He has been lampooned in Doonesbury as a member of the "Carcinogen Seven." The Justice Department has been asked to explore whether he and his six fellow tobacco company chieftains may have committed perjury and their companies fraud. U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman has all but called him a liar for swearing under oath that he doesn't believe nicotine is addictive when Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.'s own top lawyer said it was in a company memo three decades ago. He started out in the industry 31 years ago, peddling cigars and chewing tobacco in the North Georgia mountains for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Today, Thomas Edwin Sandefur Jr. presides over a $3.4 billion company that last year sold 91 billion cigarettes. But until an embarrassing cache of internal corporate documents, which Brown & Williamson says were stolen, ended up in stories on the front pages of American newspapers last month, Sandefur ruled in virtual obscurity from the 26th floor of Louisville's Brown & Williamson Tower. As an industry leader, he's been virtually invisible; Kidder Peabody & Co. analyst Stephen Long calls him the "closet smoker" of tobacco company chief executives. He has cut nearly as low a profile in Louisville, where before this spring, his picture had been published only once in 12 years in this newspaper -- and where he toiled mostly in the background as a fund-raiser for a handful of civic causes.
