  • Japan Tobacco to Take Over JTI (Malaysia)
    Volume 32 Strictly For Internal Use Only April 2014 ASEAN: Updates on OTP - Bans and Regulations While we have been focusing on cigarettes, but what about Other Tobacco Products (OTP)? Some examples of OTP are smokeless tobacco, roll-your-own and cigarillos. In the Philippines, the law requires health warning on OTP, which is considered similar to cigarettes; there is an advertising ban on OTP in mass media while advertising at POS is permitted. In Cambodia, OTP is covered under the Sub-Decree No. 35 on the Measures to Ban Advertising of Tobacco Products in 2011. In Thailand, the TC law states any tobacco product coming from Nicotiana Tabaccum needs to be treated as same as cigarette, and OTP is included. For Vietnam, OTP is banned as stated in Article 9, Vietnam Tobacco Law which strictly prohibited advertising and promotion of tobacco products. In Lao PDR, OTP is covered by TC law as same as all type of cigarettes but there is no tax charge for OTP. With strong regulation on cigarettes, people may switch to OTP. According to regulations on OTP, countries consider them as harmful products that need to be banned. However, information on OTP is still lacking and it could result in escaping enforcement. The MAC Network is not limited to cigarettes only but includes OTP. Please share more information on OTP on SIS MAC Network Facebook for effective counteraction against all tobacco products. Malaysia: Japan Tobacco to take over JTI (Malaysia) April 1, (Free Malaysia Today) JT International (Malaysia), which makes Camel and Salem cigarettes, has received a takeover offer of RM808.4 million from Japan Tobacco to buy the remaining 39.63% or 103.549 million shares.

  • RJ Reynolds Tobacco Compa
    New York Judge Dismisses Individual Smoking and Health Suit Winston-Salem, N.C. – June 20, 2005 - R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is pleased with today’s decision by Justice Ute Wolfe Lally of the New York Supreme Court for Nassau County to dismiss an individual smoking and health case brought against the former Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, successor by merger to The American Tobacco Company (American). In the suit, Selma Rosen claimed she became addicted to cigarettes after smoking American’s Lucky Strike cigarettes for approximately four years in the late 1950s. Rosen alleged that American failed to warn her of the health risks of smoking and designed an unreasonably dangerous product. Rosen then continued smoking other manufacturers’ cigarettes for the next 35 years. Those manufacturers were not included in her suit, however. “The evidence presented in this case simply did not support the plaintiff’s claims,” said J. Jeffery Raborn, senior counsel for R.J. Reynolds. In granting the motion for directed verdict, Justice Lally found the plaintiffs had offered insufficient evidence that Rosen could not quit smoking and that, because of her indifference to warnings she later received regarding the health risks of smoking, an earlier warning about the risks of smoking would not have made any difference on her decision to smoke. On July 30, 2004, the domestic tobacco business of Brown & Williamson Holdings, Inc. (B&W), formerly known as Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, merged with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a New Jersey corporation, to form R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a North Carolina corporation. B&W is an affiliate of British American Tobacco, p.l.c.

  • “Mevius Mode 6 100'S” and “Mevius Mode 3 100'S”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tokyo, April 21, 2015 Black Mevius Richer flavor through a lavish blend. Reduced smoke smell. “Mevius Mode 6 100’s” and “Mevius Mode 3 100’s” To be rolled out across Japan in early June, 2015 Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) (TSE: 2914) has announced two new additions to the Mevius Mode series, which incorporates LSS* technology. “Mevius Mode 6 100’s” and “Mevius Mode 3 100’s” are to be rolled out across Japan in early June. A richer flavor through a lavish blend, and reduced smoke smell as well “Mevius Mode 6 100’s” and “Mevius Mode 3 100’s” The Mevius Mode Series products, which retain the smooth and clear flavor of Mevius and incorporate JT’s LSS technology, have been very well received by consumers. Now JT is launching “Mevius Mode 6 100’s” and “Mevius Mode 3 100’s”, in addition to the popular rich flavor “Mevius Mode One 100’s” launched in 2011. Thanks to a lavish blend, consumers can enjoy a richer flavor than that of the regular Mevius series. Employing the FSK size (approx.100 mm) instead of the FK one (approx. 85 mm) provides not just longer smoking experience, but also more satisfaction with each cigarette. In addition, the new products also incorporate LSS technology. The packages will feature the streamline motif of Mevius with vibrant blue and orange gradations on a black background. Furthermore, the sense of premium stylishness of the packages is enhanced by creating a special texture, which is achieved by ingenious use of gloss colors.

  • Challenges to Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
    Challenges to Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a biological mechanism whereby a microorganism evolves over time to develop the ability to become resistant to antimicrobial therapies such as antibiotics. The drivers of and poten- tial solutions to AMR are complex, often spanning multiple sectors. The internationally recognized response to AMR advocates for a ‘One Health’ approach, which requires policies to be developed and implemented across human, animal, and environmental health. To date, misaligned economic incentives have slowed the development of novel antimicrobials and lim- ited efforts to reduce antimicrobial usage. However, the research which underpins the variety of policy options to tackle AMR is rapidly evolving across multiple disciplines such as human medicine, veterinary medicine, agricultural sciences, epidemiology, economics, sociology and psychology. By bringing together in one place the latest evidence and analysing the different facets of the complex problem of tackling AMR, this book offers an accessible summary for policy-makers, academics and students on the big questions around AMR policy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Michael anderson is a Research Officer in Health Policy at the Department of Health Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science, and a Medical Doctor undertaking General Practice specialty training. Michele cecchini is a Senior Health Economist, Health Division, in the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. elias Mossialos is Brian Abel-Smith Professor of Health Policy, Head of the Department of Health Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Co-Director of the European Observatory on Health Systems.

  • The P53 Tumour Suppressor Gene and the Tobacco Industry
    Lancet Manuscript 03ART/3495 Revised 1 The p53 Tumor Suppressor Gene and the Tobacco Industry: Research, Debate, and Conflict of Interest Asaf Bitton, BA Mark D. Neuman, BA Joaquin Barnoya, MD MPH Stanton A. Glantz, PhD Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94143 This work was supported by National Cancer Institute Grant CA-87472 and the American Legacy Foundation. Address for correspondence and Reprints: Stanton A. Glantz, PhD Professor of Medicine Box 1390 University of California San Francisco, CA 94143 415-476-3893 fax 415-514-9345 [email protected] Lancet Manuscript 03ART/3495 Revised 2 Summary Background: Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene lead to uncontrolled cell division and are found in over 50% of all human tumors, including 60% of lung cancers. Research published in 1996 by Mikhail Denissenko et al. demonstrated patterned in vitro mutagenic effects on p53 of benzo[a]pyrene, a carcinogen present in tobacco smoke. We investigate the tobacco industry’s strategies in responding to p53 research linking smoking to cancer. Methods: We searched online tobacco document archives, including the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library and Tobacco Documents Online, and archives maintained by tobacco companies such as Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds. Documents were also obtained from the British American Tobacco Company depository near Guildford, England. Informal correspondence was carried out with scientists, lawyers, and tobacco control experts in the United States and Europe. Findings: Individuals at the highest levels of the tobacco industry anticipated and carefully monitored p53 research. Tobacco scientists conducted research intended to cast doubt on the link between smoking and p53 mutations.
