  • 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.

  • 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. She discusses the early launching of the Dr. Elizabeth M.

    Issues in Social Science ISSN 2329-521X 2015, Vol. 3, No. 2 A Symbolic View of Cigarette Holders F. David Mulcahy Department of Technology, Culture & Society NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering 5 MetroTech Center LC125, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA E-mail: [email protected] Melissa Sherman (Corresponding Author) LIU Global College 9 Hanover Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 26, 2015 Accepted: June 28, 2015 Published: October 4, 2015 doi:10.5296/iss.v3i2.8392 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/iss.v3i2.8392 Abstract The cigarette holder became a fashion accessory for women in the early 1920s and remained popular until the 1960s. The New York Times was used as a data base to evaluate its symbolism and function during this period. It is argued that the artifact became a symbol of assertiveness for many women both in real life and fiction including the ballet mistress Bronislava Nijinska, the mythical and fictionally portrayed Dragon Lady—who was a glamorous but larcenous female war-lord, the fictional Satin Doll, an astute potential lover who would not let herself be manipulated by men, young flappers in restaurants, great, gruff ladies who were ballet aficionadas, Sappho, an overbearing Russian governess, and Nathalie de Ville, a fictional female social predator. The article points out in detail how the cigarette holder was isomorphic, with and reflected in, the new 1920s women‘s fashion silhouette which quickly replaced the somewhat ―squat‖ Gilded Era women‘s costume. It had no pinched waist, an almost nonexistent bodice and hips, and gave an overall tall, slim and graceful impression.

  • Cigarette Smoking Among Women 1890 - 1990
    but 'Destructive sweet': cigarette smoking among women 1890 - 1990 Rosemary Elizabeth Elliot A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of PhD University of Glasgow Centre for the I-Estory of Medicine MRC Social and Public Health SciencesUnit October, 2001 Volume 2 of 2 0 Rosemary Elliot, 2001 I- ChapterFive Chapter Five: Drop dead gorgeous: the changing face of smoking 1950 - 2000 By the end of the Second World War, the cigarette was ubiquitous in both public and private life. The experiences of war had once again brought to the fore the physiological and psychological benefits of tobacco, as both those at the front and those at home increasingly relied either on its stimulating or sedative powers. Moreover the centrality of the cigarette in the collective experience of war - both at a individual government and an level - served to consolidate the existing perception of tobacco as an essential part of social interaction at all levels. By 1945, annual per capita consumption had reached unprecedented levels for both men and women, although an obvious gender disparity remained.' The 1947 Hulton Readership Survey, an analysis for advertisers, suggested that 42% of women and 70% of men smoked cigarettes. Women still smoked considerably less than men. They were more likely to be light smokers, classified as smoking up to seven cigarettes a day, while men were most likely to be 'normal' smokers, which was between 8 and 22 cigarettes per day. 2 Only I% of women fell into the 'heavy' smoker category, compared to 10% of men. Despite the difference in consumption levels, it was increasingly accepted that both sexes smoked when and where they liked and many of the gendered social and spatial conventions surrounding appropriate behaviour disappeared.
