| After the massive earthquake in Sichuan Province in May 2008, a primary school funded by a tobacco company was set up in the quake-stricken area. On the roof of the school building stands the signboard “Sichuan Tobacco Hope Primary School.” A slogan engraved on another board reads,cheap newport 100s cigarettes supplier, “Tobacco helps your success.” Statistics show in China, there are 17 Hope primary schools named after sponsoring tobacco companies.
All of them are in economically backward areas. Tobacco control activists say the practice exerts negative social impacts and it is necessary to limit tobacco companies’ sponsorship of education. They stress that tobacco companies, by sponsoring education,marlboro cigarettes wholesale, want to build up a positive image for themselves and promote the sales of tobacco products. Therefore, only a comprehensive ban on tobacco advertising,marlboro gold, promotion and sponsorship will reduce consumption, especially among young smokers. This week, the Department of Health put out a 70-page document titled A Smokefree Future, full of plans to make cigarettes the preserve of a very hard-bitten minority. On the front, a twentysomething father looks lovingly at his young son. Inside,cheap marlboro red and gold packs online, scores of other parents are doing the same all apparently enjoying the health and happiness that comes from a life without cigarettes. Having banned smoking in all enclosed public spaces in 2000, thereby securing a 25% drop in recorded numbers of smokers,cheap marlboro cigarettes, the government’s new aim is to cut the proportion of us who smoke by another half so that by 2020, only one in 10 Britons will still have the habit. The proposed means to such an ambitious end include a new “doorway ban” on those droves of sad smokers who cluster in the entrances of workplaces, the expanded issuing of nicotine patches, the selling of cigarettes in plain packaging, the removal of tobacco products from display in shops,marlboro cigarettes,marlboro lights cigarettes, the banning of vending machines and, just in case any top-flight athletes are hoping for a few pre-race gasper “a tobacco-free London 2012 Olympics”. Speaking to advocates for the tobacco industry is always a grimly amusing business, as you listen to people somehow acknowledging that smoking is not exactly good for you, while trying to wriggle free of specifics. When I ask Ogden about smoking’s links to lung cancer, he says: “It’s not in my gift to say. I wouldn’t want to attribute it to any particular illness. I’d just say the consensus is that there are health risks associated with it.” My mention of heart disease is similarly dodged. Even the connections between parental smoking and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (or cot death) get short shrift. “I don’t have a position on that. I’m not privy enough to the science to give a comment.” But aren’t the numbers of British smokers in inevitable decline? “Who knows?” he says. “I mean, fashions change, don’t they? Society changes. Could smoking come back? I can’t predict the future, but it’s certainly a possibility,newport 100s cigarettes, yes. Why not?” How many a day does he smoke? “About a packet.” And does he have moments of concern about his health? “Not at all.” So does he think he’ll smoke till he dies? “Oh, no. I shall probably give up at some point, as I have in the past. I’ve been through phases of my life where I haven’t smoked for five years at a stretch. And I’ve decided to go back to it.” |
