  • British American Tobacco's Submission to the WHO's
    British American Tobacco’s submission to the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control This is the submission of the British American Tobacco group of companies commenting on the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. We are the world’s most international tobacco group with an active presence in 180 countries. Our companies sell some of the world’s best known brands including Dunhill, Kent, State Express 555, Lucky Strike, Benson & Hedges, Rothmans and Pall Mall. Executive summary • The WHO’s proposed ‘Framework Convention on Tobacco Control’ is fundamentally flawed and will not achieve its objectives. • The tobacco industry, along with other industries involved in the manufacture and distribution of legal but risky products, is the subject of considerable public attention. It is important that the debate about tobacco remains open, objective, constructive and free from opportunistic criticism if we are effectively to address the real issues associated with tobacco. • British American Tobacco is responsible tobacco. We seek to operate in partnership with governments, who are significant stakeholders in our business, and other interested parties, based on our open acknowledgement that we make a risky product and therefore support sensible regulation. • British American Tobacco shares the World Health Organisation’s desire to reduce the health impact of tobacco use. This paper outlines British American Tobacco’s proposal for the sensible regulation of tobacco. • Our proposal will relieve the WHO of the cost and bureaucracy involved in its wish to become a single global tobacco regulator, leaving it free to do what it should be doing – policy orientation. Some facts about tobacco • Today over one billion adults, about one third of the world’s adult population, choose to smoke.

  • Ch 65, P.33 Environmental Protection[567] IAC 7/11/01
    IAC 7/11/01 Environmental Protection[567] Ch 65, p.33 APPENDIX A MANURE CONTROL ALTERNATIVES FOR OPEN FEEDLOTS IAC 7/11/01 Introduction: Water pollution control requirements for animal feeding operations are given in Chapter 65 of the rules of the Iowa department of natural resources. Under these rules, open feedlots meeting the operation permit application requirements of rule 567—65.4(455B) must also comply with the minimum manure control requirements of subrule 65.2(2). Subrule 65.2(2) requires that all feedlot runoff and other manure flows resulting from precipitation events less than or equal to the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event be collected and land applied. This appendix describes five feedlot runoff control systems that meet the requirements of subrule 65.2(2). The systems differ in the volume of manure storage provided and in the frequency of manure application. In general, the time interval between required applications increases with increased stor- age volume. A feedlot operator who constructs and operates a manure control facility in accordance with the re- quirements of any of these five systems will not have additional manure control requirements imposed, unless manure discharges from the facility cause state water quality standards violations. In describing the five systems, the major features of each are first reviewed, followed by detailed information on the construction and operation requirements of the system. The system descriptions are presented in this appendix as follows: System Pages System 1: One Manure Application Period Per Year. 33-35 System 2: July and November Manure Application. 35-37 System 3: April, July, and November Manure Application.

BRIDGE, F.S,A. The Hasid-Writing upon the Wall, a caricature in colour, published by James Gillray in 1803, depicts Napoleon and his wife, Josephine, sitting at a table with members of their court, enjoying the spoils of England after the " invasion " by the French. A hand has written "liens, tnene, tekel, upharsin " on the wall, and the King's crown is outweighing Despotism to a cry of" Vive is Boi " Among the viands and wines shown on the table are the Bank of England, St. James's, The Tower of London, together with the Roast Beef of old England, Maraschino, and some red liquor in a bottle labelled "Maidstone ". Thella.raschino, a liqueur made from the small black mamma cherries, was manufactured in England at this time, and might have been the forerunner of Maidstone's famous Cherry Brandy, as according to Walter Rowles' "Kentish Chronologer " of 1807, cherries were first planted at Teynkani in Kent by Richard Haynes in 1520. Also, Evelyn records that " It was by the plain industry of one, Harris (a fruiterer to Henry 'VIII) that the fields and environs of about 30 towns in Kent only, were planted with fruit to the universalbenefit and general improvement of that County to this day." • The bottle labelled "Maidstone ", however, was obviously intended to represent the well-known Maidstone Geneva, which was a very pope OT gin made in Maidstone at this time.

  • Biomarkers of Cigarette Smoking
    BLANK PAGE MONOGRAPH The FTC Cigarette Test Method for Determining Tar, Nicotins, . and Carbon Monoxide Yields of US. Cigarettes Report of the NCI Expert Committee. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service National Institutes of Health Foreword In response to the emerging scientific evidence that cigarette smoking posed a significant health risk to the user, in the early 1950’s the major cigarette manufacturers began widespread promotion of filtered cigarettes to reassure smokers that, regardless of whatever unhealthy constituents were in cigarette smoke, filters were a “scientific” breakthrough. Advertisements for Viceroy’s “health guard filter” stated, “DENTISTS ADVISE-Smoke VICEROYS-The Nicotine and Tars Trapped by The Viceroy Filter CAN NEVER STAIN YOUR TEETH!” and “Leading N.Y. Doctor,Tells His Patients What to Smoke-Filtered Cigarette Smoke Is Better For Health. The Nicotine and Tars Trapped . ..Cannot Reach Mouth, Throat Or Lungs.” Chesterfield was “Best for you--low in nicotine, highest in quality,” while L&M’s were “Just What the Doctor Ordered.” Lorillard Tobacco Company stressed its science-based Kent micronite filter (the original micronite filter was made of asbestos) and claimed it removed seven times more tar and nicotine than any other cigarette, which “put Kent in a class all by itself where health protection is concerned.” Of course, we know today that not only were these claims patently false, but the cigarette companies knew ,it. In the early 1950’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) challenged a variety of health claims made for cigarettes in their advertising, including claims about tar and nicotine.
