| Australia leads the world in terms of national tobacco control programs. Health Minister Nicola Roxon deserves high praise for her determination to act. She has led a comprehensive national program of action which, complemented by action around the jurisdictions, will prevent massive numbers of lung and other cancers, heart disease,marlboro cigarettes stock, and the myriad other conditions caused by both active and passive smoking.
Even better, just as Norway showed the art of the possible by banning tobacco advertising in 1973, and was then followed by many other countries, our example is now being seen globally as best practise in prevention and will lead to similar action elsewhere. When Minister Roxon released the report and recommendations of the National Preventative Health Taskforce in late 2009, she commented that, “we are killing people by not acting”. Tens of thousands of Australians in years to come will owe their lives to the action that was taken in 2010. By Mike Daube, Professor of Health Policy, Curtin University and President of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health. The number of smokers declined by 0.45 per cent annually from 2003 to 2010,wholesale marlboro cigarettes, less than the 0.9 per cent from 1996 to 2002, said Yang, citing a report to be published on Jan. 9 next year. China’s tobacco consumption has been steadily growing, from 589.9 billion cigarettes in 1978 to about 2.3 trillion last year,marlboro cigarettes wholesale, according to the China National Tobacco Corporation (CNTC) website. The most effective action to control tobacco consumption is to let the Ministry of Health or a new ministerial-level department take over the task of tobacco control, Yang says. However, the ministry that sells tobacco also oversees the implementation of the anti-tobacco treaty, she says. “It’s like a bunch of foxes in the chicken coop discussing how to protect the chickens.” The CNTC, the world’s largest cigarette maker, which produces more than 95 per cent of China’s tobacco products, is part of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA),marlboro cigarettes supplier, in turn part of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). In dealing with tobacco and its health, social,cheap newports,marlboro lights cigarettes, economic, and environmental harms, governments should be guided by the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This is an evidence-based treaty that reaffirms the right of all people to the highest standard of health. It is a response to the globalization of the tobacco epidemic, which claims 5.4 million lives each year. One hundred seventy-one countries (including the Philippines) ratified the treaty in 2005, and is thus now part of the law of the land (superseding the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003,wholesale marlboro cigarettes supplier, orRepublic Act 9211). Under this treaty, the Philippines committed to a range of measures to curb tobacco use. Recently, the Philippine Aromatic Tobacco Development Association, Inc. (PATDA) wrote President Aquino,wholesale newport cigarettes, with an attached petition from the very newly formed PhilTobacco Growers Association Inc. (PTGA). Such letter would have readers incorrectly believe that our tobacco farmers and the Philippine tobacco industry will be “obliterated” by the government’s fulfillment of its obligations under the WHO FCTC, particularly at the coming fourth session of Conference of the Parties (COP4) in Uruguay on Nov. 15-20, 2010. Philip Morris and the Philippine Tobacco Institute also support this myth. |
