  • What Do Y Tell Us About the Industry in Brazil?
    May 2007 – Phase I Report This publication is under embargo up to 31 May, 11 am (EST) HE TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS: WHAT DO THEY TELL US ABOUT THE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL? 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.

This inventory, better known as Tophane pipe making, came out in a large part of the Ottoman Empire in different ways according to its period, region and production style. In a short span of time, tobacco spread to a large part of the empire, was first consumed as a remedy and soon after as a stimulating substance. The variety in the usage of opium, the consumption of wine despite its being banned, and especially the excessive consumption of coffee by almost everyone paved the way for tobacco.

  • 38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—A Listing (173 Pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. Plan from 1959 to Enlist Professor
    38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B. Project A-040: Brown and Williamson effort from 1972 to 114 Project AA: Secret RJR effort from 1982-84 to find out how to improve “the RJR share of market among young adult women.” Appeal would 112 Janet C.

  • Smokeless Tobacco and Public Health: a Global Perspective, GST Report
    Glossary Blank page. Smokeless Tobacco and Public Health: A Global Perspective Glossary Term Definition Ad valorem Tax charged as a percentage of the value of a product. Adducts Carcinogenic metabolites bound covalently to DNA. Air-curing (of tobacco) Involves placing tobacco stalks on wooden staves that are hung in a well- ventilated barn. Used to make loose leaf and twist chewing tobaccos and is often mixed with fire-cured tobacco to make moist snuff. Aldehydes Organic compounds that contain a formyl group (R-CHO). Found in some smokeless tobacco products as a result of fire-curing. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies the aldehyde formaldehyde as carcinogenic in humans (Group 1), and by acetaldehyde as a possible carcinogen (Group 2B). Alkaline modifiers Chemicals added to tobacco that include agents such as sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, various metallic carbonates (e.g., calcium, magnesium, sodium, ammonium), and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). Addition of alkaline agents to tobacco boosts pH and increases the percentage of nicotine present as free nicotine. Alkaloids Naturally occurring nitrogen compounds that are produced by a large variety of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Tobacco alkaloids are key chemical precursors in the formation of tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Anabasine Alkaloid generally found in Nicotiana glauca at higher levels than in other tobacco species (N. tabacum or N. rustica). Present in trace amounts in tobacco smoke and can be used as an indicator of a person's exposure to tobacco smoke. Thought to contribute to the toxicity of N. glauca. Anatabine Alkaloid found in Nicotiana tabacum and other tobacco species.
