Jordan Roswell’s customers at the Tobacco Hut in central Lincoln have been doing more huffing and puffing than usual in recent months. A city enacted indoor smoking ban, he says, has done more than push them outside it’s also sharpened their anger about the state’s 64 cents a pack cigarette tax. «Everybody is griping about cigarette taxes now,» Roswell said between sales of cartons of cigarettes and packs of Phillies Blunt cigars. In Nebraska and across the country, smokers have a way to avoid paying any cigarette or sales taxes on their smokes. Instead of buying tobacco... Read More.

The annals of literature are full of instances of misanthropes, knaves, and other antisocial characters who come to see the error of their ways and spend their declining years doing good works and helping their fellows. We were therefore intrigued by an announcement late last year by tobacco giant Philip Morris that it was prepared to spend $100m a year in a US campaign to reduce young people’s smoking. Was this, at last, an honest attempt by Philip Morris to end its seductive marketing practices that have led to the tobacco addiction of millions of children and teenagers around the world? Philip... Read More.

Life The internet was set ablaze over the past few days following a report by Abril Uno that Phillip Morris, the largest producer of cigarettes in the world, would be dabbling marijuana. The company would supposedly be releasing marijuana cigarettes, aptly titled Marlboro M. They would be made available for legal purchase through licensed outlets in the state of Colorado, where it is legal to buy and sell the drug. There’s just one little catch The story is a hoax. One major clue as to the joke should have been the name of the source. Abril Uno translates to «April 1st». Hmm,... Read More.

Just when smokers thought it was okay to inhale again, a debate over the safety of electronic cigarettes is threatening to cut off their nicotine. Smokeless and odorless e cigarettes are catching on, touted in the U.S. and Europe as less harmful than real ones because they don t contain tar, arsenic and other cancer causing toxins.

E cigarettes, on the market in the U.S. and Europe since 2006, are battery... Read More.

In the 19th century, smoking opium became common. Previously it had only been eaten, and then primarily for its medical properties. A massive increase in opium smoking in China was more or less directly instigated by the British trade deficit with Qing dynasty China. As a way to amend this problem, the British began exporting large amounts of opium grown in the Indian colonies. The social problems and the large net loss of currency led to several Chinese attempts to stop the imports, which eventually culminated in the First and Second Opium Wars. Opium smoking later spread with Chinese immigrants... Read More.

«The new rules will help to reduce the number of people who start smoking in the EU. «These measures put an end to products which entice children and teenagers into starting to smoke in the European Union.» Simon Clark, the director of the pro smoking campaign group Forest, said banning menthol cigarettes was a ban on consumer choice that «will do little» to deter children from smoking. He also questioned the need for plain packaging legislation to remove any branding from packs, which is being considered in some EU countries, including the UK. Uniform or plain packs... Read More.
