Heart disease prevention is easy, if you follow a few simple tips...' Smoking and Heart Disease: Saturday August 19, 2006 | Big Tobacco Intentionally Misled the Public About the Hazards of Smoking In a U.S
Kessler found the tobacco industry guilty of conspiring to break anti-racketeering laws for decades - downplaying the hazards of smoking to the public in an effort to pad their pockets
Unfortunately, due to a previous federal appeals court ruling, Judge Kessler was unable to order tobacco companies to pay the $14 billion federal prosecutors were asking for in order to fund anti-smoking campaigns around the country
She did, however, order cigarette makers to make 'corrective statements' about the dangers of smoking, including: No more misleading statements about the health risks of smoking, meaning they may not use words like 'low-tar', 'ultra-light', 'mild' and 'natural' which might lead consumers to think they are reducing smoking-related risks by using these products over others

The female smoker -- SLAMA 8 (1): 113 -- Tobacco Control
Book review.
The 1964 surgeon general's report indicated that smoking was the cause of the increase in men's lung cancer rates, but only suggested an association with women's lung cancer rates and with low birthweight
So while the subject of women's smoking was a hot topic among tobacco marketing strategists, it often escaped the interest of public health specialists
Indeed, recent research indicates that women don't have to smoke like men to die like men, they may be at as much risk as men with lower smoking patterns
Just what are the differences between men and women in relation to smoking? Do women smoke differently than men, do they smoke for different reasons, do they suffer health consequences differently, do they encounter more difficulty in quitting? Are the differences important, and will they indicate priorities for health policy makers? These are the questions that are finally being asked
This monograph is an easy to read, comprehensive overview of the literature related to women and smoking in the United States, in well-arranged sections covering the social history of female tobacco use, tobacco marketing strategies for women, patterns of female tobacco use, the health consequences of smoking and exposure to others' smoking, the psychological and behavioural dynamics of female smoking, programmes and strategies for women and girls, and conclusions

Stopping Smoking [Nov 1994; 9-1]
Review of scientific literature on smoking costs, quitting methods.
Stopping Smoking Just recently there have been a number of superb articles on smoking from both sides of the Atlantic - the 'Human cost of tobacco' series in the New England Journal [1, 2], and Doll, Peto and colleagues reporting of the 40-year follow up on British doctors [3], and associated commentaries [4, 5]
Bandolier wanted to know the most effective way to stop current smokers from smoking, and this focus article centres on that issue
The human cost of a cigarette The human costs of using tobacco use are charted in admirable starkness by Robert Schrier and his colleagues from Colorado, prompted because the prevalence of smoking in the US has plateaued at 26% after two decades of decline
Most people, especially health professionals, think they know the risks associated with tobacco smoking
If cigarettes cost more, then fewer people will smoke them, especially women and members of the lowest socio-economic groups where smoking prevalence is still as high as 50% [6]
Reduce prices, as happened in the UK between 1977 and 1979, and smoking goes up; increase prices, as has generally been the case since the early '80s, and smoking falls
Japan Ads Sell Women On Smoking

| Search: from the March 09, 1998 edition Japan Ads Sell Women On Smoking Nicole Gaouette, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor TOKYO— Her picture appears seemingly everywhere in Tokyo
'Until recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare had an understanding that smoking was entirely up to the individual, ' says Ms
'Last year in our White Paper we referred to the negative impact of smoking for the first time
The social stigma was rooted in the belief that motherhood is the purpose of a woman's life and smoking was harmful to children
'Philip Morris insisted this [ban] was sexist, ' says Nobuko Nakano, head of the Tokyo-based group Women's Action on Smoking
Philip Morris argues that advertising reflects, but does not cause smoking
Some observers cite stress, saying that more Japanese women are smoking to relax as more enter the work force
Others argue that smoking is one arena in which women can have equality with men
But the power of fashion and advertising images comes up again and again, especially their impact on the young women among whom smoking is increasing most rapidly
Women, Girls and Tobacco: The Global Facts and the Challenge
Short paper on women and tobacco; tobacco promotion to women and girls; global
impact of tobacco on women; recommendations for action.
Without strong government and private sector intervention, smoking prevalence among women could triple over the next generation, the number of women smokers rising from the current 187 million to over 530 million
Several comprehensive studies show that tobacco advertising revenue discourages the media from reporting the risks of smoking
This is of special concern in developing countries, where awareness of the hazards of smoking is low, sometimes nonexistent
Woman-specific campaigns are rare and principally concentrate on the effects of a woman’s smoking on a fetus or child
Few programs have encouraged women to quit smoking for their own sake
Government Action As the world’s leading exporter of tobacco products, the United States has a moral responsibility as well as a special opportunity to reduce the global burden of premature disease and death worldwide by supporting programs and policies that prevent a rise in smoking among women and girls, especially in developing countries
In contrast, the United States Government actually has promoted smoking overseas for decades
United States companies spend billions of dollars on aggressive tobacco marketing campaigns overseas that directly link smoking with American values, freedom, and liberation

Preventing Heart Disease - Smoking Short section on
smoking and the hart.
Preventing Heart Disease Smoking Smoking cigarettes is a significant risk factor for many serious conditions, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, and diabetes
Smoking also contributes to high blood pressure and low HDL ("good") cholesterol, which are themselves risk factors for heart disease
On average, the health risks from smoking shave seven to eight years off a person's life
Dangers of Smoking Chances are you know that smoking cigarettes is bad for your health
Here are some reminders about the dangers of smoking: Smoking causes more than a half million premature deaths worldwide each year
If a person has any other risk factors for heart disease, smoking dramatically increases his or her overall risk of a heart attack
Smoking worsens the health of the smoker and the people around the smoker
If you have ever tried to quit smoking and failed, you are not alone
Many people try to quit smoking several times before they succeed
However, three to four days after a person quits smoking, nicotine leaves the blood and cravings for cigarettes start to weaken

Passive Smoke From Spouse Increases a Smoking Woman's Stroke Risk
Women already at risk of having a stroke because they smoke cigarettes increase
their stroke risk three-fold if they live with a spouse who smokes, according to ...
Volume 34, Number 15 Thursday, February 27, 2003 News » » Columns » » » » - new content Passive smoke from spouse can increase a smoking woman's stroke risk By LOIS BAKER Contributing Editor Women already at risk of having a stroke because they smoke cigarettes increase their stroke risk three-fold if they live with a spouse who smokes, a study conducted at UB has shown
On the other hand, non-smoking women whose spouses smoked did not show an increase risk of stroke
Adnan Qureshi, lead author on the study, said a possible explanation for the increase in risk among smoking women, but not among non-smoking women, could be related to certain smoking habits
'The findings suggest that spousal smoking exerts a negative effect on cardiovascular health of women who smoke, in addition to and independent of the classical cardiovascular risk factors.' Results of the study were presented earlier this month at the 28th International Stroke Conference in Phoenix
The study group consisted of 6, 003 women who reported their own smoking status and that of their spouse at the initial data collection

CDC pamphlet covers history of cigarette advertising strategies, current advertising
strategies, sponsorships and promotions, and global advertising strategies.
By the mid-1930s, cigarette advertisements targeting women were becoming so commonplace that one advertisement for the mentholated Spud brand had the caption "To read the advertisements these days, a fellow'd think the pretty girls do all the smoking." As early as the 1920s, tobacco advertising geared toward women included messages such as "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet" to establish an association between smoking and slimness
The number of women aged 18 through 25 years who began smoking increased significantly in the mid-1920s, the same time that the tobacco industry mounted the Chesterfield and Lucky Strike campaigns directed at women
The number of women in this age group who began smoking tripled between 1911 and 1925 and had more than tripled again by 1939
The underlying message of these campaigns has been that smoking is related to women's freedom, emancipation, and empowerment
Such marketing is dominated by themes of an association between social desirability, independence, and smoking messages conveyed through advertisements featuring slim, attractive, and athletic models

And as a recent official report showed, they seem to be less influenced by the anti-smoking campaigns than their male counterparts
For men the smoking rate was 60%
In the 1990s, forty years after evidence of the link between smoking and lung cancer first came to light, the rate of female smoking has almost caught up with that of men, (the USA, Australia and other European countries show similar trends)
Among teenagers the smoking rate for girls is rising fastest: in some countries they are now out-smoking their male counterparts for the first time in history

SMOKING
(Take our test) Surely you've heard by now that smoking damages your health (if you're tired of hearing it, skip this section)
Lung disease, lung cancer, emphysema -- these are RARE DISEASES in the absence of smoking
I have always felt that the American Lung and the American Cancer Societies have done a much better job than heart organizations in getting out their message about smoking
Smoking kills more people through its increase in heart attacks than it does with cancer or emphysema! Let's look at some of the cardiovascular risks: 30% of deaths due to heart attacks and coronary artery disease are due to smoking
Peptic ulcer disease The fact that smoking causes problems for the heart arteries is not surprising when you consider that smoking has been demonstrated to: Increase bad (LDL) cholesterol Lower good (HDL) cholesterol Increases insulin resistance Cigarettes are loaded with "free radicals" which "oxidize" the LDL cholesterol
But beyond this, consider The money you'll save (1 pack per day approaches $1000 in a year) The time and trouble you'll save going to smoking areas
