Do you know why smokers quit smoking?
2008-05-26 22:32:00
Prof. Know Why answers for your general knowledge and awareness on why smokers quit smoking: If you are a smoker, you may know that the urge to smoke is contagious, but did you know that quitting the puff is, too? Well, a team of researchers, recently, has found that contagious pattern with smoking cessation. They observed that a smoker is more likely to kick the habit of smoking if a spouse, friend, co-worker or sibling does so. Moreover, the research showed that smokers tend to quit smoking in groups as those who don't stop puffing, increasingly find themselves pushed to the edge of their social circles. "Your smoking behavior depends upon not just the smoking behavior of the people you know, but also the people who they know" and so on, said Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a medical sociologist at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the new report. This latest study, by Christakis and his colleague James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, which...

Four Famous Fictional Cigar Smokers
2008-05-06 07:00:00
Cigar smoking enjoyed an abrupt, and steep, spike in popularity during the 1990s, after years of decline. Cigar bars and shops sprang up even in midsize towns and cities, while profits experienced heady growth. But during all the years between the industry’s heyday and this 1990s revival, these fictional cigar smokers from stage, screen and ...
Smokers beware: Ontario to enact auto smoking ban to protect children
2008-05-02 21:02:00
Smokers beware: Ontario to enact auto smoking ban to protect children The government of Ontario introduced a bill last Wednesday that calls for a smoking ban in cars when children are present. If the legislation is made into law, it will make it illegal to smoke in any vehicle while a person 16 years old or younger is a passenger. Moreover, the proposal covers pretty much any scenario — whether the car is moving or stationary and would apply even if a smoker had a window, sunroof, roof, door or other feature open. The fine for such an offense would be 250 Canadian dollars. Ontario would not be the first to enact such a law as Nova Scotia, Yukon, Arkansas, California, Maine, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, South Australia and Tasmania already have similar legislation in place, according to Canadian Driver.
Female Smokers and Menstruation
2008-04-22 18:27:00
Better to quit after ovulation, study finds.Women stand a better chance of successfully quitting smoking if they stop during the later phase of their monthly menstrual cycle, according to new research conducted at the University of Minnesota and published in the May 2008 edition of the journal Addiction. Sharon Allen and co-workers discovered that women who quit smoking right before they start to ovulate--the so-called follicular stage--relapsed more often than women who quit during the "luteal" stage, defined as the two weeks between ovulation and the start of a new cycle. In the study, 86 percent of women who gave up smoking during the follicular phase relapsed during the first 30 days, compared to 66 per cent of women who quit during the later luteal phase."Our findings support an important role for ovarian hormones in nicotine addiction and smoking cessation," the authors wrote.The ebb and flow of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle can have a direct effect on m...

Are insurance rates for males & smokers really so much higher?
2008-04-10 08:04:00
Q Hi there, I want to buy life insurance for both my husband and I. As a 31yr old female non smoker, the initial quote for me comes up at just under $21 a month. My husband is a 29 yr old male who smokes only a few cigarettes a week but for insurance purposes must be declared as a ’smoker’ and his initial quote comes in at $53 a month. It seems amazing how much extra that is, so I checked how much I’d be charged if I was a smoker and my quote went up to $31 a month. Can I ask why he would be charged $22 a month more than me, even though he is younger? Is it really that risky being male? A few dollars difference I could understand but 70% more than a female smoker? Please can you explain this? Many thanks, (Name withheld) A Life insurance rates are designed to reflect your actual risk of dying earlier than the average of your population. Premium rates are calculated using ‘actuarial’ tables based on actual mortality experience across tens, even hundreds of thousands of live...

SMOKERS BANNED FROM LOOKING AT CIGARETTES WHILE SMOKING
2008-03-29 00:10:00
SMOKERS will have to hold a large piece of card over their face so they cannot look at the cigarette they are smoking, ministers said last night.The 'smoking mask' will include a small mouth hole and a handle, though later models may be fitted with elasticated straps.From next April, if smokers want to buy cigarettes they will have to uncover them during a day-long treasure hunt using a series of very difficult clues.Under the new regulations the smokers will then have to store their cigarettes inside a large cereal box, which may or may not contain a cobra.When they want to smoke they must position the cereal box on a table, strap on their smoking mask and then fumble around inside the box in the hope of finding a cigarette and not a large, venomous snake.The mask will also carry a warning which reads: "Lighting a Cigarette While Wearing This Mask May Cause You to Set Fire to the Mask Instead of the Cigarette and Burn Your Face Off."Health secretary, Alan Johnson, said: "If you c...

Life Insurance - Smokers and Overweights Pay Over 50% More!
2008-02-25 12:06:00
The life insurance industry is becoming tougher on smokers and those of us who are overweight. When an insurance company calculates its premiums, it has to work out the risk of you dying whilst the policy is in force. (Or with Critical Illness Insurance, the risk that you will become critically or seriously ill during the policy's term.) In this context, smoking and obesity have become increasingly important issues. The life insurance industry pointedly ignores the views of some Pro Smoking Pressure Groups which argue that smokers under the age of 40 have around the same probability of dieing as non smokers. David Pickett, Life Insurance Manager at Sainsbury's spoke for the insurance industry when he confirmed "Health risks associated with smoking can have a big effect on life cover costs. It is vital for those who have kicked the habit to review their policies". [ car , insurance , life ] Just how big an effect smoking has on life insurance costs was highlighted in a rec...

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm still smokeless.

Quality of sleep worse for smokers
2008-02-09 11:01:00
The sleep of smokers is less deep than that of non-smokers and smokers feel often less rested after a full night of sleep. Brain scans of smokers show that at night they experience light withdrawal symptoms. This causes a light disturbance of the sleep. Also nicotine makes it harder to fall asleep. Forty middle-aged smokers participated in ...
Obese And Smokers Cheaper For Society
2008-02-06 14:00:00
A new study shows that overweight people and smokers aren't actually the big drain on the health care system we've thought them to be. Actually, it's the skinny healthy people!The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up the most expensive health costs. But because both the smokers and the obese people died sooner than the healthy group, it cost less to treat them in the long run. Emphasis added. Should society being try to help out those addicted to food and cigarettes? Yes, but we shouldn't do it because we think we're saving money.Source: The Consumerist
Smokers Sleep Less Soundly
2008-02-05 18:28:00
Smokers are four times more likely to feel tired when they wake up and they spend less time in deep sleep than nonsmokers do, a new study finds.This may be because smokers experience nicotine withdrawal each night, which may contribute to sleep disturbances, suggest the study authors, whose report appears in the February issue ofChest."It is possible that smoking has time-dependent effects across the sleep period. Smokers commonly experience difficulty falling asleep due to the stimulating effects of nicotine. As night evolves, withdrawal from nicotine may further contribute to sleep disturbance," study author Dr. Naresh M. Punjabi, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, said in a prepared statement.Punjabi and colleagues studied the sleep patterns of 40 smokers and 40 nonsmokers. They found that 22.5 percent of smokers reported a lack of restful sleep, compared with only 5 percent of nonsmokers. Smokers also experienced a lower percentage of deep sleep and a h...

In 1992, seven per cent of women smoked, compared to almost 15 per cent by 2003. In the same period, the number of men who smoke has risen from 57 per cent to 63 per cent. The researchers behind the study, published in the journal Tobacco Control, blame the privatisation of the previously state owned tobacco industry and the behaviour of the transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) for what they describe as a "very worrying increase"........

The owner of a small German computer company has fired three non-smoking workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment. The manager of the 10-person IT company in Buesum, named Thomas J, told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper he had fired the trio because their non-smoking was causing disruptions. Germany introduced non-smoking rules in pubs and restaurants on January 1, but Germans working in small offices are still allowed to smoke.

In the backyard barbeque cooker’s Bible, it’s almost blasphemous to give an electric smoker even an honorable mention in the “Best Smoker Category”. To many of us, a smoker or grill that’s attached to an electric cord is an insult to all of us who’ve smelled of wood smoke for a week because we ...

Grills and Smokers : Charcoal or Gas Grills
2008-01-13 09:47:00
Outdoor cooking isn't for everyone. It takes a person who is willing to put his reputation as a grilling superstar on the line each time he lights a gas grill or tosses a match onto a flammable pile of charcoal. that the people he feeds will appreciate the food he has cooked. Each time he (or she) steps out of his home into his back yard, armed with copper brush, tongs and forks; he faces a challenge to beat his best individual performance on the backyard grill. Most of the outdoor chefs I've run across are men. It seems that women had rather stay in the kitchen. I think it is just a ploy to get the men out of the house for a while. The ladies give them the idea that cooking on the grill is almost important as breathing, especially if it's done by him! That will get the guy outside with his chest puffed up, carrying a can of charcoal starter and a match. First rule! If you're using charcoal and you're using a liquid lighter, know what you are dousing on those briquettes! It is ...

Smokers' Rights
2008-01-11 15:43:00
After a long campaign that started with bans in California cities in the '90s, restaurants and cafes that allow smoking are becoming the minority. As smoking has become a universally decried and vilified personal vice, such bans have been generally applauded. However, smokers and libertarians who oppose smoking bans as government infringement on personal life have continually fought back, raising the question of how much the greater public good (if such a thing is indeed serviced by smoking bans) outweighs personal liberty. To what extent do smokers have rights, and do theirs necessarily pose a threat to the non-smoking public?
