Lorillard Recalls Certain Newport Non-Menthol Packs

Lorillard Inc., the third largest manufacturer of cigarettes in the United States, said that it voluntarily implemented a precautionary recall of certain Newport Non-menthol cigarettes. The company initiated the recall “out of an abundance of caution” following its discovery that some Newport Non-Menthol cigarettes manufactured June 29 and 30, 2011, could contain small pieces of plastic.

The company sought and received guidance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) upon discovering the foreign substance.

Tobacco Company to Develop Products without Tobacco

British American Tobacco (BAT) PLC  producer of Dunhill cigarettes announced their plans to create a new company called Nicoventures Ltd. which will produce products made without tobacco and with only pure nicotine in an effort to offer a safer alternative to smokers. Even though a spokeswoman of the organization said the products the company is considering aren’t on the market yet and declined to give any more details, we do know that two subsidiaries of Altria Group are testing spit-free tobacco-coated toothpicks in an effort to offer tobacco in a less socially scrutinized way.

Cigarette Calm Down Smokers

Researchers found that individuals who participated in an investigation smoked cheapest cigarettes to regain self control of their negative emotions and to keep their composure. A press release on March 19 from the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla. supported the premise that tobacco smoking affects an individual’s self control resources. Additionally, the study showed by restoring the self control in participants, it also puts individuals in a more positive mood. This specific finding implies that the lack of intrapersonal self control in individuals may possibly be a contributor to tobacco addiction.

Smoke-Free Policies with No-Effects

The statistics just prove that non-smoking campaigns have not had a greater effect than the growing number of cigarette advertisements put out on television, radio, billboards, in cinemas, magazines and on promotional stands at malls.
They are, in fact, much more eye-catching and interesting than the old, stale non-smoking campaigns. Up to now, the government only suggests rather than acts in order to lower the number of smokers. Until then, the statistics will just rise uncontrollably.
Given that 34.8 percent of the adult male population in the country smokes discount Bomond cigs, we can deduce that our national economic production is reduced accordingly.
Workers who smoke are lucky if their supervisors are smokers, too, but a tremendous disadvantage to their companies, which brings down national economic progress!
Related/respective leaders of the nation who happen to also be smokers are indeed reluctant to ban cigarettes in workplaces, which weigh down progressively on productivity.
If the government is so corrupt that it cannot impose sanctions on obvious violators, in deference to the poor why doesn’t the government force cigarette factories to protect the welfare of impoverished tobacco farmers? At least rehabilitate those who are addicted and create jobs for them that will allow them to live healthier.
In a corrupt country, a health promotion boards could easily be manipulated by being erected in, of all institutions, cigarette manufacturing companies!
