History (1) Background of the Company’s Transition to Stock Company Before it became a stock company, Japan Tobacco Inc. (hereinafter, “the Company”) was formerly Japan Tobacco and Salt Public Corporation, or JTS. JTS was established on June 1, 1949 with the “Aim to bring soundness and efficiency to the operation of the national government monopolies.” JTS, serving as the main body for conducting operations of the tobacco monopoly system and other government monopolies, contributed to establishing stable supply of tobacco and securing tobacco-derived financial revenues. However, the growth in demand for cigarettes in Japan began to slow in the mid-1970s as the result of demographic trends and growing concern about health risks associated with smoking. This trend continued, such that growth in industry sales essentially stopped. In addition to the structural change, the Japanese domestic tobacco market was virtually opened to foreign tobacco suppliers, triggering competition between domestic and foreign tobacco products in Japan, and foreign countries stepped up pressure on Japan to take further market-opening measures, which were difficult to implement within the framework of the monopoly tobacco sales system. Amid such pressure as well as moves toward the reform of government-run public corporations, Ad Hoc Commission on Administrative Reform was established in March 1981 to conduct research on the public corporation system. In its third report (July 30, 1982), the commission proposed drastic reform of the monopoly system and the public corporation system. In response to this proposal, the government conducted a comprehensive review of these systems and drafted bills to: Abolish the tobacco monopoly law in order to liberalize tobacco imports and establish a tobacco business law in order to make necessary adjustments related to the tobacco business. Abolish the JTS law, reorganize JTS as stock company so as to enable it to pursue rational corporate management as much as possible and establish the Act on Japan Tobacco Inc., which provides for a necessary minimum level of regulation in light of the corporation’s need to compete with foreign tobacco companies on an equal footing in the domestic market following the liberalization of tobacco imports. These bills were enacted on August 3, 1984 in the 101st session of the Diet and promulgated on August 10 of the same year. (2) Status of the Company After Its Incorporation The Company was incorporated on April 1, 1985, pursuant to the Act on Japan Tobacco Inc. (Act No. 69 of August 10, 1984; hereinafter, the “JT Act”), and all of the start-up capital was provided by the Japan Tobacco and Salt Public Corporation, or JTS. When incorporated, the Company succeeded all the rights and obligations of JTS.

In the case of tobacco use, cigarette carcinogens such as those present in tobacco smoke has been identified as the major cause of cancers of the products. Here,we examine the effects of smokeless lung, oral cavity, larynx, and esophagus. Moreover, smokeless tobacco extracts on human oral fibroblasts. We show tobacco use has been linked primarily to oral cavity cancers, that smokeless tobacco extracts elevated the levels of particularly cancers of the cheek and gum (1, 2). intracellular reactive oxygen,oxidative DNA damage, Cell culture, animal, and human studies indicate that and DNA double-strand breaks in a dose-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative DNA damage manner.

  • Cigarette Smoking-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches
    Cigarette Smoking-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tamer M. Abdelghany Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jay L. Zweier, MD, Advisor Dr. Arthur Strauch III, PhD Dr. Amal Amer, MD PhD Copyright by Tamer M. Abdelghany 2013 Abstract Cigarette smoking (CS) remains the single largest preventable cause of death. Worldwide, smoking causes more than five million deaths annually and, according to the current trends, smoking may cause up to 10 million annual deaths by 2030. In the U.S. alone, approximately half a million adults die from smoking-related illnesses each year which represents ~ 19% of all deaths in the U.S., and among them 50,000 are killed due to exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The crucial event of The CVD is the endothelial dysfunction (ED). Despite of the vast number of studies conducted to address this significant health problem, the exact mechanism by which CS induces ED is not fully understood. The ultimate goal of this thesis; therefore, is to study the mechanisms by which CS induces ED, aiming at the development of new therapeutic strategies that can be used in protection and/or reversal of CS-induced ED. In the first part of this study, we developed a well-characterized animal model for chronic secondhand smoke exposure (SHSE) to study the onset and severity of the disease.

  • Nicotine Aversion Is Mediated by Gabaergic Interpeduncular Nucleus Inputs to Laterodorsal Tegmentum
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04654-2 OPEN Nicotine aversion is mediated by GABAergic interpeduncular nucleus inputs to laterodorsal tegmentum Shannon L. Wolfman1, Daniel F. Gill1, Fili Bogdanic2, Katie Long3, Ream Al-Hasani4, Jordan G. McCall4,5,6, Michael R. Bruchas5,6 & Daniel S. McGehee1,2 1234567890():,; Nicotine use can lead to dependence through complex processes that are regulated by both its rewarding and aversive effects. Recent studies show that aversive nicotine doses activate excitatory inputs to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) from the medial habenula (MHb), but the downstream targets of the IPN that mediate aversion are unknown. Here we show that IPN projections to the laterodorsal tegmentum (LDTg) are GABAergic using optoge- netics in tissue slices from mouse brain. Selective stimulation of these IPN axon terminals in LDTg in vivo elicits avoidance behavior, suggesting that these projections contribute to aversion. Nicotine modulates these synapses in a concentration-dependent manner, with strong enhancement only seen at higher concentrations that elicit aversive responses in behavioral tests. Optogenetic inhibition of the IPN–LDTg connection blocks nicotine condi- tioned place aversion, suggesting that the IPN–LDTg connection is a critical part of the circuitry that mediates the aversive effects of nicotine. 1 Committee on Neurobiology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 2 Department of Anesthesia & Critical Care, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 3 Interdisciplinary Scientist Training Program, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 4 St. Louis College of Pharmacy, Center for Clinical Pharmacology and Division of Basic Research of the Department of Anesthesiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St.

    14 December 2007 JT International S.A. JT International Holding BV and the European Community and the Participating Member States COOPERATION AGREEMENT Page 1 THIS AGREEMENT is made on 14 December 2007. BETWEEN JT International S.A. (JTI) and JT International Holding BV (JTH), on their own behalf and for and on behalf of all subsidiaries of JTH existing at the date of this Agreement (together Japan Tobacco Companies) and The European Community (the EC) represented by the European Commission (the Commission) and the Member States of the European Union participating in this Agreement (the Participating Member States). 1. RECITALS WHEREAS (A) illicit traffic in Cigarettes is a growing problem for the EC, for Member States and for legitimate trade in tobacco products. It takes the form of trade in both counterfeit Cigarettes and genuine products, which are smuggled into the EC without payment of any applicable EC or Member State tax or duty, or unlawfully introduced from low-tax jurisdictions into higher-tax jurisdictions; (B) illicit traffic in Cigarettes is against the public interest in tax collection, transparent markets, and the protection of lawful competition. As such, illicit traffic in Cigarettes is against the interests of the EC, the Member States, as well as Japan Tobacco Companies and their stakeholders, including employees, customers, business partners and shareholders; (C) the problem of illicit traffic in Cigarettes calls for binding cooperative efforts between the tobacco industry, the Member States and the EC aimed at eliminating the flow of contraband and counterfeit and consequent loss of revenues; (D) Japan Tobacco Companies recognise that creating a system to provide the EC and Member States with the effective and timely ability to track and trace sales of Japan Tobacco Cigarettes is an important component of their commitment to fight the trade in Illegal Product.
