They deny this, but if it’s not for teen smoking, how else do you explain candy and fruit flavored cigarettes? It’s not the 40-year-old who has been smoking for over 20 years who will buy these “cigarettes,” but someone who is jut beginning and doesn’t want that tobacco taste, right?  These flavors added to cigarettes and other tobacco products make them more appealing to teens. According to statistics, 17-year-old smokers are three times as likely to use flavored cigarettes as smokers over the age of 25. Well, the FDA has taken notice and as of yesterday, September 22, 2009, the sale of fruit or candy ciga...

And while any legislation that has taken this long to come to pass will be seen by many as too little, too late, most would agree it’s a step in the right direction. The bill, called the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was more than ten years in the making and represents the first big federal step against smoking since the 1971 ban on TV and radio advertising and the 1988 ban on smoking on commercial airplanes. As Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, so aptly put it, “[Now] the most deadly product sold in America ...

Here is an example. Legislation that would regulate the marketing of flavored cigarettes is wending its way through Congress. The legislation, which would give the FDA the power to oversee tobacco products, would try to reduce smoking’s allure to young people by banning most flavored cigarettes, including clove and cinnamon. So far so good, but wait a minute: there is a curious exemption to the flavors to be banned – menthol is not to be touched! How come? Read on. Why flavor cigarettes? In their effort to addict young people to cigarette smoking, tobacco companies realized that flavoring would increase the chance that a beginner would stay with the habit, long enough to ...

Well, dear readers, we’re going to help you with that. Because in the last couple weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to try a few of the new-to-market enhanced waters and am happy to share the low-down with you so you know where to spend (or save) your money. First up: Snapple Antioxidant Water Available in several different flavors, this water uses cool descriptors such as “Defy”, “Awaken”, and “Protect” to clue you in to their superpowers. Chock full of antioxidants, vitamins and electrolytes, these beverages dare time to take its toll on you. The drawback to these is that with the added enhancement bonuses comes added calories (and, unfortunately, ca...

Studies show drinking coffee may reduce your risk of developing Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, and colon cancer. It's even been linked to a decreased risk of inflammatory and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women.Why? According to an article in the March 2007 issue of Ladies Home Journal, it's because coffee contains large amounts of flavonoids and antioxidants -- and these combat a whole bunch of illnesses.Now drinking too much coffee can have adverse side effects, like restlessness, anxiety, and headaches, but limiting yourself to one to four brewed cups per day seems to be a safe practice. Although for those with high blood pressure, consuming betwe... The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=511183 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 04:00:00 +0100 511183
