WASHINGTON, May 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement of M. Cass Wheeler, CEO of the American Heart Association, responding to the Surgeon General's Report on smoking and health: "The Consequences of Smoking": The new report from the Surgeon General is a good reminder about how much we are still learning about the harms caused by tobacco. Forty years after the first Surgeon General's Report on tobacco, we are still adding to the list of diseases that are associated with tobacco use.
Surgeon General to Release New Report on the Health Consequences of Smoking DETAILS:
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg says "some very explicit, almost gruesome pictures may be necessary" on cigarette labels. The FDA is concerned about serious medical consequences of smoking, such as cancer, heart disease and strokes - and for good reason. Cigarettes have proved deadly. The images are part of a new campaign launched by the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services in response to the 443,000 deaths per year caused by cigarette smoking. Shouldn't the same standards and cautions be applied to warning labels to alert women about diseases caused by "the pill" and all other forms of harmful hormonal contraception? After all, these deadly hormones are placed in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos by the International Agency ...
Despite the best efforts of health professionals, a cigarette tax increase and the work of tobacco control advocates, nearly one in four adult Tennesseans continue to smoke cigarettes. Unfortunately, smokers appear oblivious to the consequences of smoking, and the deadly attraction to nicotine wins out over prospects of a longer life and cleaner air.
Statement of Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco- Free Kids WASHINGTON, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The large, graphic cigarette health warnings unveiled today by the Food and Drug Administration represent a milestone in the fight against tobacco use in the United States. The stark new warnings will provide a much-needed boost to efforts to prevent kids from smoking, encourage smokers to quit and make sure all Americans fully understand the deadly consequences of cigarette smoking.
Understood. Although it is also true that everyone that smokes does not die of cancer. In fact there are those that smoke everyday for years and live long healthy lives. That, however, does not negate the mountains of evidence that smoking is dangerous for your health. Nor does it discourage the larger society's campaign to stop people from indulging in the habit. This may come as a shock to some, but I am well aware that this is the real world and in the real world stuff happens; relationships fail, people have sex outside of marriage and have babies out of wedlock. However, just as we can't avoid the real life consequences of smoking neither can we ignore the cost of the meteoric rise in out-of-wedlock births, divorce and the concurrent steep declines in marriage rates.

This Note proposes that the engine of tobacco policy in the United States—the nonsmokers’ rights movement—has largely and successfully run its course, leaving the United States primed for greater paternalistic tobacco regulation. Sure enough, we may be witnessing a sea change in tobacco policy with the introduction of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Many commentators from both sides of the debate, however, have decried the Act: It either bloodies the hands of the Food and Drug Administration by making it complicit in the distribution of the world’s deadliest consumer good, or it marks the anti-tobacco movement’s furthest intrusion into free markets and free speech yet. This Note charts a middle course, alternatively praising and criti...

This may come as a shock to some, but I am well aware that this is the real world, and in the real world, stuff happens; relationships fail, people have sex outside of marriage and have babies out of wedlock. However, just as we can't avoid the real life consequences of smoking, neither can we ignore the cost of the meteoric rise in out-of-wedlock births, divorce and the concurrent steep declines in marriage rates. The reasons for many of the ills of the real world families and communities are varied, but ultimately the buck stops with men. Women do predominate single-parent households and thugs do not run neighborhoods because women have failed. Evil lurks in dark alleyways because men have discarded notions of duty and honor and embraced the new school mantra of self-actualization. In...
