  • 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.

  • Youth Bidi, Kretek, Or Pipe Tobacco Use
    2013 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey: Fact Sheet 10 Youth Bidi, Kretek, or Pipe Tobacco Use Introduction The Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS) was administered in the spring of 2013 to 6,440 middle school students and 6,175 high school students in 172 public schools throughout the state. The overall survey response rate for middle schools was 83%, and the overall survey response rate for high schools was 75%. The FYTS has been conduct- ed annually since 1998. The data presented in this fact sheet are weighted to represent the entire population of public middle and high school students in Florida. About Bidis, Kreteks, and Pipe Tobacco Bidis are small brown cigarettes from India consisting of tobacco wrapped in a leaf tied together with a thread. Bidis have higher levels of nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar than traditional cigarettes. Kreteks are cigarettes containing tobacco and clove extract. In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration banned kreteks, along with flavored cigarettes, from being sold in the United States. Pipe tobacco comes either plain or flavored and is smoked through a pipe. On previous FYTS fact sheets, bidis, kreteks, and pipe tobacco have been Figure 1.

  • Other Tobacco Products (OTP) Are Products Including Smokeless and “Non-Cigarette” Materials
    Other tobacco products (OTP) are products including smokeless and “non-cigarette” materials. For more information on smoking and how to quit using tobacco products, check out our page on tobacco. A tobacco user may actually absorb more nicotine from chewing tobacco or snuff than they do from a cigarette (Mayo Clinic). The health consequences of smokeless tobacco use include oral, throat and pancreatic cancer, tooth loss, gum disease and increased risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. (American Cancer Society, “Smokeless Tobacco” 2010) Smokeless tobacco products contain at least 28 cancer-causing agents. The risk of certain types of cancer increases with smokeless tobacco: Esophageal cancer, oral cancer (cancer of the mouth, throat, cheek, gums, lips, tongue). Other Tobacco Products (OTP) Include: Chewing/Spit Tobacco A smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Must be manually crushed with the teeth to release flavor and nicotine. Spitting is required to get rid of the unwanted juices. Loose Tobacco Loose (pipe) tobacco is made of cured and dried leaves; often a mix of various types of leaves (including spiced leaves), with sweeteners and flavorings added to create an "aromatic" flavor. The tobacco used resembles cigarette tobacco, but is more moist and cut more coarsely. Pipe smoke is usually held in the mouth and then exhaled without inhaling into the lungs. Blunt Wraps Blunt wraps are hollowed out tobacco leaf to be filled by the consumer with tobacco (or other drugs) and comes in different flavors. Flavors are added to create aromas and flavors.

  • Take a Stand Against Illegal Tobacco
    Take a stand against Illegal Tobacco The current state of play Illegal tobacco sales in the UK continue to undermine legitimate business whilst providing criminals with huge profits. The continued availability of cheap illegal tobacco in communities across the country undermines attempts to prevent underage people accessing tobacco as illegal tobacco sellers do not care who they sell to. The smuggling of tobacco is a multibillion pound industry for criminals. The high level of tax in the UK, the large difference in the tax rates between the UK and other countries, and the openness of international borders creates the perfect environment for criminals to operate. Criminal organisations and opportunist smugglers are targeting the lucrative UK tobacco market. HM Revenue & Customs' 2012/13 estimates show that revenue theft could be as much as £2.9 billion.1 For a criminal, tobacco smuggling is relatively easy. Tobacco products come in small packages, are highly valuable and easy to transport; whilst the risks of detection, prosecution and conviction, though improving, are low relative to the huge profits. For example, a single container of illegal cigarettes can provide criminals with a profit of up to £2 million.2 It's clear more needs to be done! Did you know? HM Revenue & Customs estimates show that revenue A single container of illegal theft could be as cigarettes can provide criminals much as £2.9 billion1 with a profit of up to £2 million Illegal Tobacco Explained What is NUKDP? Non-UK duty paid (NUKDP) is a catch-all phrase used to describe cigarettes and roll your own tobacco (RYO) found in the UK that has not incurred UK taxes.

Methods: We reviewed internal tobacco industry documents, the Pollay 20th Century Tobacco Ad Collection, and newspaper sources, categorized themes and strategies, and summarized findings. Results: Cigarette advertisements have used the term “natural” since at least 1910, but it was not until the 1950s that “natural” referred to a core element of brand identity, used to describe specific product attributes (filter, menthol, tobacco leaf).

  • Robert K. Jackler Testimony.Pdf
    Brief Biography of Robert K. Jackler, MD: Dr. Jackler is a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and is a practicing surgeon. He is the founder and principal investigator of an interdisciplinary research group (Stanford Research Into The Impact of Tobacco Advertising or SRITA) which conducts research into the promotional activities of the tobacco industry. SRITA collected 56,600 original tobacco advertisements which were donated to the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution. A public exhibit at NMAH drawn from this collection opened in April 2019. SRITA maintains an extensive online tobacco advertising research database (tobacco.stanford.edu) which has over 813,000 unique users. As an academic research program, SRITA scholars conduct a wide spectrum of research into the promotional behaviors of the tobacco industry. SRITA focuses upon original scholarship utilizing the unique resource of our advertising collection. Our early academic focus was primarily an historical study of advertisements from the 20th century. In recent years, our research has focused upon the design and marketing of emerging tobacco products such as e-cigarettes (e.g. JUUL), heated tobacco (e.g. IQOS), and novel nicotine delivery systems. Our research is primarily designed to provide scientific data and analysis to inform regulators and legislators. SYNOPSIS OF OPINIONS: Today’s Tobacco Advertising Conveys the Same Messages as it Did in the 1950s: I suspect that most Americans think that the worst excesses of tobacco marketing lay in the 20th century when countless ads glorified smoking as glamorous and sexy and a worried public was reassured that “More Doctors Smoke Camels.” While the tobacco industry loudly claims they advertise ethically today, my in-depth study of tobacco advertising makes it clear that they still convey the same messages as during the earlier era.
