Preface 11/19/01 11:30 AM Page 1 Preface This monograph, Risks Associated with Smoking Cigarettes with Low Machine-Measured Yields of Tar and Nicotine, is the 13th report published in the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Smoking and Tobacco Control Program Monograph Series. The concept for this series was formed by the late Dr. Joseph W. Cullen, former Deputy Director of the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. On the inside front cover of this volume, appears a list of previously published monographs. In addition to the current mono­ graph, there are two more under development. One will be entitled Changing Adolescent Smoking Behavior: Where It Is and Why. The other will be called Is the Target Hardening? The “target” refers to those long-term smokers who, in many cases, have tried to stop smoking and been unable to do so. Future monographs will address important and timely issues on tobacco control, and will reflect our continuing mission to reduce cancer risk, inci­ dence, morbidity, and mortality caused by tobacco use, as well as enhance the quality of life of current and former users of tobacco. The initial meeting of the authors for the Low Tar Monograph took place in November of 1999. At that meeting, each author presented a pre­ liminary paper or outline. The group discussed each presentation and made suggestions as to which subtopics might be removed from or added to each chapter and determined the boundaries of the various chapters. One feature of the this monograph is that it blends the old with the new. Monograph 7, The FTC Cigarette Test Method for Determining Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Yields of U.S. Cigarettes, covered the history of that protocol and recommended changes in its procedures. Chapter 2 of this publication cites this earlier monograph, brings us up to date on the FTC method, and provides additional suggestions as to what can be done to help alert the public to the dangers of smoking. The examination of the scientific literature on low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes is not unique to this monograph. Several of the earlier volumes devoted one or more chapters to discussions of the various health aspects of tar and nicotine levels. However, this monograph includes more than just the study of amounts of tar and nicotine. Chapter 5 includes a discussion on the continued health risks to smokers, even those who smoke a low­ tar/low-nicotine cigarette, while Chapter 2 describes how changes in the cigarette design affect an individual’s smoking habit. Chapter 7 points out how the tobacco companies’ advertisements have changed to match the emerging public preference for low-tar/low-nicotine cigarettes. This monograph is unique in another important aspect. For the first time, the authors who prepared the various chapters have had extensive access to the information gleaned from the internal documents of the tobacco companies. The tobacco industry files now open to the public and i Preface 11/19/01 11:30 AM Page 2 Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph No. 13 available on the Internet constitute some 33 million pages of formal and informal memos, meeting notes, research papers, and similar corporate doc­ uments. Included are marketing strategies that express the growing concern among the various tobacco companies of the potential loss of new recruits. This concern over the potential loss of market was due to the evolving pub­ lic opinion that smoking is harmful to health and that it is related to many of the illnesses that smokers experience over the course of their lives. The singular message that has been delivered to the public—smoking causes cancer—is gradually being accepted by more and more people of all ages. This message has been reported in many scientific papers over the last 50 years. In a historical context, however, the bellwether publication that galvanized the public opinion was the original 1964 Surgeon General Report, Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service. The fact that the public has slowly real­ ized and, more importantly, accepted the danger of smoking undoubtedly concerned the tobacco companies. Access to internal industry papers allowed monograph authors to cite a number of tobacco company documents that show a long-term trend alter­ ing the tar and nicotine content of cigarettes by various chemical and mechanical procedures. The documents further reveal the industry’s efforts to produce cigarettes that could be marketed as acceptable to health-con­ scious consumers. Ultimately, these low-tar/low-nicotine cigarettes were part of the industry’s plan to maintain and expand its consumer base. The monograph authors show that the tobacco companies set out to develop cigarette designs that markedly lowered the tar and nicotine yield results as measured by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) testing method. Yet, these cigarettes can be manipulated by the smoker to increase the intake of tar and nicotine. The use of these “decreased risk” cigarettes have not significantly decreased the disease risk. In fact, the use of these ciga­ rettes may be partly responsible for the increase in lung cancer for long­ term smokers who have switched to the low-tar/low-nicotine brands. Finally, switching to these cigarettes may provide smokers with a false sense of reduced risk, when the actual amount of tar and nicotine consumed may be the same as, or more than, the previously used higher yield brand. This monograph compliments the recently released Institute of Medicine report entitled Clearing the Smoke: Assessing the Science Base for Tobacco Harm Reduction. Together, the documents reflect a growing body of research that has explored the impact of products intended to reduce harm in an environment where there is near universal recognition of tobacco’s harmful effects.

  • 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.

Cigarettes can cause several health problems and can even cause death. Aside from conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes and shisha are starting to get the spotlight. The types of cigarettes include conventional cigarettes, electric cigarettes and shisha can cause health problems to both smokers and the people around them. The purpose of this study was to determine smoking behavior and the use of cigarette types in students. This research was quantitative descriptive. The population in this study were students who have smoked either the conventional, electric or shisha. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling with 384 students as the samples. The instrument in this study used a questionnaire that was independently developed by researchers with a total of 14 questions. The results of the data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive analysis presented in the form of a percentage. Based on the results of the study it was found that non-health students (90.6%) were more likely to smoke than health students (9.4%).

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).

  • Ethnic Smoking Fact Sheet -- Mtf Updated Version
    TOBACCO USE AND HISPANICS Despite reductions in smoking prevalence achieved since the first Surgeon General’s report on the consequences of smoking in 1964, smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.1 Smoking accounts for more than 480,000 deaths in the United States each year, and is a major risk factor for the four leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and stroke.2 Tobacco Use Among Hispanic Adults According the 2019 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of adults ages 18 and over, 8.8 percent of Hispanic adults in the United States are current smokers, compared to 15.5 percent of Whites, 14.9 percent of African, Americans, 20.9 percent of American Indian/Alaska Natives, and 7.2 percent of Asian Americans. Overall, 14.0 percent of U.S. adults are current smokers.3 Current smoking prevalence among Hispanics reflects nearly 46 percent decrease from 2005, when the rate was 16.2 percent. Hispanic smokers also tend to consume fewer cigarettes per day than non-Hispanic white smokers and are less likely to be daily smokers than smokers of all other racial/ethnic groups. 4 However, research also shows that—as with other immigrant groups—smoking behavior trends toward that of non-Hispanic whites as Hispanics acculturate to the United States, particularly for female Hispanics.5 While Hispanic smoking rates are low overall, differences exist within Hispanic subpopulations that are masked when surveys group Hispanics as a single population. For example, according to combined NHIS data from 2009-2013, 21.6 percent of Puerto Ricans, 18.2 percent of Cubans, 13 percent of Mexicans, and 9.2 percent of Central or South Americans are current smokers (the overall smoking prevalence for Hispanics during this time period was 13.5%).6 In addition, smoking rates are significantly higher for U.S.-born Hispanics than for foreign- born Hispanics in the U.S.
