T This work was commissioned by the Pan American Health Organization as part of a multi-phase project to analyze the tobacco industry and tobacco control in Brazil. This preliminary report represents Phase I of the project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This report builds on a previously published Pan American Health Organization report and presents preliminary results of a multi-phase project to map out the roles of the tobacco industry and of the tobacco control movement in Brazil. • This initial phase was developed to document the strategies and operations of the tobacco industry in Brazil as it can be determined from the tobacco industry documents publicly available after the settlement of legal cases of 46 states and territories of the United States with the US- based tobacco companies. • Brazil is an important tobacco market: its large, young, population appeal to tobacco companies searching to expand and it has a large tobacco growing, manufacturing and export business. • Despite the role of tobacco in the Brazilian economy, Brazil has been a world leader in implementing a regulatory framework in which the tobacco 1 May 2007 – Phase I Report industry operates. Overall adult smoking prevalence seems to be in decline, but youth smoking remains high in certain areas of the country. • The main cigarette companies operating in the country are Souza Cruz, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, with approximately 75% share of market; and Philip Morris Brazil, part of Philip Morris International, with approximately 15% of the market.

Biomed J Sci & Tech Res Research Article Open Access Analysis of effects of Smoking on Lung Function, and Respiratory Muscle Strength of Pakistani Youth Murad Mehmood*, Muhammad Ahmad Shahid and Ahmar Saleem Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Received: August 04, 2018; Published: August 13, 2018 *Corresponding author: Murad Mehmood, Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Introduction: In the present era, cigarette smoking is a major but preventable cause of death. Despite being aware of its harmful and hazardous effects, many young adults begin experimenting with cigarettes at a very early age and then adopt it as a regular habit. Objectives of the Study: The basic objective of our study is to analyze the effects of smoking on lung function, and respiratory muscle strength of Pakistani youth. Methodology of the Study: This study was conducted at Services institute of medical sciences, Lahore during 2017. Youth male subjects aged 12 to 18 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Socio-demographic values and medical history of the selected patients were recorded clearly. Prior to participation in this study, each subject signed an informed consent form to comply with the ethical guidelines. Results: Most subjects started cigarette smoking between the ages of 15 to 18 years. The most common duration of cigarette smoking was 1-3 years. Three major parameters, chest expansion, lung function using spirometry, and respiratory muscle strength, were compared and these all are high in smokers. Conclusion: It is concluded that most of the people started smoking in young age due to environmental and social factors.

  • A Smoking Gun:

    A Smoking Gun:

    Why are tobacco companies allowed to spend $11/2 billion dollars per year to pro­ mote deadly products-with many of their messages intended for children? How can this situation be tolerated? How did it arise? What can we do about it? Can pro­ tection be achieved in a manner compati­ ble with free enterprise and individual freedom? How should the rights of smokers and nonsmokers be balanced? Must nonsmokers subsidize the cost of treating cigarette-induced disease? How much protection should nonsmokers have from drifting cigarette smoke? How can smokers escape from the grip of nicotine addiction and psychological dependence on smoking? Dr. Elizabeth Whelan addresses these and other important questions as she examines how the tobacco industry de­ veloped and thrived during the 20th century, creating an unprecedented chain of economic and physical dependence.

    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 46 (2017): 137-160 Submitted: 2015.07.10 Accepted: 2016.01.02 Oriental Fantasies of the American Advertisement Industry during the Late 19th-Early 20th Century: A Reading of the Recurring Images of Cigarette Marketing Tarık Tansu Yiğit Abstract The “Orient” with its so-called exotic, mystified and mythicized elements has been a crucial staple for the Western imagination. For centuries, Western artists have imitated and (re)constructed idiosyncratic elements of the East in different ways, such as Turquerie or Arabesque. On the other hand, the predominantly “decorative Orientalism” of the pre-modern period transformed into an element of a Euro-centric political discourse, following imperialistic expansions in the 19th century. In this respect, Western fantasy over “the other” is not a monolithic, but a multi-layered phenomenon that simultaneously creates and reflects the ideological boundaries. American advertisement industry during the late 19th/early 20th centuries did not ignore this phenomenon and used Orientalist images, especially on standard market products, such as cigarette packs. The scope of generic images on the cigarette marketing varied from landscape to mystic themes. Aiming to analyze the cultural/regional/gendered (re)constructions of the American advertising industry in the turn of the century, this paper focuses on the ways how the advertisers fantasized about the Orient through cigarette marketing. The survey concentrates mainly on the ways how the designers portrayed a stereotypical “Orient” by contrasting the Eastern and Western values, which generic images they made use of, how the cultural features gained new connotations 137 Tarık Tansu Yiğit in advertisement context, and to what extent they contributed to the Orientalist literature.

Objective: To evaluate “Tobaccofree campus initiative” combined with tobacco cessation interventions as quitting model for student nurses. Methods: This was the second part of a multi-phase study which involved a series of ‘No- smoking’ campaigns, enforced tobaccofree campus initiative, mandatory weekly monitoring of biological health indicators and biochemical feedback using expiratory carbon monoxide (CO) levels for 36 real cigarette and shisha smokers. The quasi-experiment lasted 10 weeks. Participants’ data on tobacco use, quit attempts and self-efficacy (SE) were collected using a 25- item bi- lingual questionnaire. Counseling and smoking cessation aids for their choice were offered. Results: All the participants lived with their families and 70% of the families smoked cigarette and/or shisha. Previous quit attempts were statistically higher in males than females, 47.2% versus 13.9 % and (U=76.00, P= 0.007).
