Bahamas Pharmacies selling tobacco products spark industry debate
2008-04-26 00:41:00 Pharmacies selling cigarettes ignite industry debate: By VERNON CLEMENT JONES, Guardian Business Editor - Nassau, Bahamas: An apparent growth in the number of drugstores selling cigarettes is sparking debate among pharmacists, many concerned the practice compromises ethical guidelines while providing no real boast to the bottom line. "About 80 percent of a Bahamian pharmacy's sales are directly from prescription drug," said Crystal Gibson, a local practitioner, "There's no need for pharmacies to get involved with selling something that actually harms the client-customers they are hoping to help." Her comments come as another two of the country's 50 or more drugstores move to stock and sell tobacco products. They join at least three others scattered across downtown Nassau offering cigarettes and cigars in addition to their core service of dispensing drugs. Government licensing of the latter does not, in fact, preclude the former. Still, the Bahamian trend runs counter to...

Would John McCain Outlaw Tobacco?
2008-03-28 14:21:00 There are quite a number of reasons why I'm terrified of John McCain seeing the White House in 2008. His pro-Iraq war stance; his friendship with President Bush; his public criticism for accepting funds from large corporations; his history of being wined and dined by media moguls; that the National GOP so heartily supports him; his tendency to call himself Conservative and act otherwise. Just to name a few. And I've just unearthed one more reason to be wary of him: will the personal choice to use tobacco be the next to go?

WHO: New report on global tobacco control efforts
2008-02-08 13:51:00 7 FEBRUARY 2008 NEW YORK -- WHO today released new data showing that while progress has been made, not a single country fully implements all key tobacco control measures, and outlined an approach that governments can adopt to prevent tens of millions of premature deaths by the middle of this century.In a new report which presents the first comprehensive analysis of global tobacco use and control efforts, WHO finds that only 5% of the world’s population live in countries that fully protect their population with any one of the key measures that reduce smoking rates. The report also reveals that governments around the world collect 500 times more money in tobacco taxes each year than they spend on anti-tobacco efforts. It finds that tobacco taxes, the single most effective strategy, could be significantly increased in nearly all countries, providing a source of sustainable funding to implement and enforce the recommended approach, a package of six policies called MPOWER (see below)....

Global fight against Tobacco Intensifies
2008-02-08 03:57:00 By Betsy MckayFeb 8, The Wall Street JournalLikening the tobacco industry to a "disease vector" such as a virus or bacterium, a report by the World Health Organization called on governments around the world to strengthen the fight against tobacco, and offered them a six-point set of measures for doing so.Only 5% of the world's population is discouraged from smoking by any antitobacco measure, such as with advertising bans, prominent warning labels on cigarette packs and smoke-free public spaces, despite billions of dollars that governments collect in tobacco-tax revenue, according to the report. Tobacco-tax revenue is more than 500 times higher than spending on tobacco control, it said.About 5.4 million people in the world annually die prematurely from tobacco-related causes such as cancer, according to the WHO. By 2030, the agency predicts that number will rise to 8.3 million.Read more this news quotephoto: The WHO has launched a campaign to urge governments around the world to d...

We cannot believe Christ would use tobacco in any form

After due consideration this assembly agrees to stand, with one accord, in opposition to the use of tobacco in any form. It is offensive to those who do not use it; weakens and impairs the nervous system; is a near relative to drunkenness; bad influence and example to the young; useless expense, the money for which ought to be used to clothe the poor, spread the gospel or make the homes of our country more comfortable; and last we believe its use to be contrary to the teaching of Scripture, and as Christ is our example we cannot believe that He would use it in any form or under any circumstances."We further recommend and advise that the ministers and deacons of each church make special effort to use their influence against its use, deal tenderly and lovingly with those in the church who use it, but insist with an affectionate spirit that its use be discontinued as much as possible. ...

Tobacco To Be Used In a Vaccine for Amoeobiasis
2008-01-18 12:23:00 For many people, tobacco represents a death sentence due to inflicting nicotine addiction, lung cancer, etc. But for the people of Central and South America at risk for amoebiasis, tobacco could instead be a lifesaver.The researchers at the University of Central Florida have been able to produce a protein against amoebiasis, a disease caused by the parasite entamoeba hisolytica, from genetically engineered tobacco plants.According to the researchers, the antigen derived from the genetically modified tobacco plant was found to be more efficient than the other genetically engineered plants.Further development in this method could pave way for low cost oral vaccines.The National Institute of Science and Media is at the forefront when it comes to the information on the advances made in the field of science and biotechnology.Joel Ball, the lead author on various study resources published on biotechnology and science under the NISM name is an established author in scientific and publishin...

Tobacco: New Resource Of Sugar
2008-01-18 11:56:00 Fructose is a sweetener used in many food products, primarily as a substitute for sucrose. The main reason for its rising popularity with the food manufacturers is the availability of large quantities of corn starch, which can be enzymatically converted to fructose on an industrial scale.An alternative and a cheap source of fructose production could be fructans, the storage carbohydrates in many plants. Fructans are multiple fructose polymers, which can be enzymatically or chemically hydrolyzed to yield fructose.Tobacco plants which are inserted with the gene of the bacterium bacillus subtilis levansucrase (SacB) are found to accumulate a stable amount of fructan similar to that produced by the microbe. The level of fructan accumulation in these transgenic tobacco plants is quite impressive and ranges between 3-8 percent of the total plant dry weight.Transgenic tobacco plants may pave way for the production of low cost sugar from other crop plants.The National Institute of Science a... |
