In 1953, Philip Morris commissioned the Roper organization to conduct a general survey of Americans’ smoking habits. The only menthol cigarette on the survey and the only one of any importance in the early 1950s was Kool. The Roper survey showed that only 2% of White Americans preferred the Kool brand. By contrast, the survey reported that 5% of African Americans preferred Kools (Roper, 1953). This small difference in preference was successfully parlayed by Brown & Williamson executives, and later by the tobacco industry as a whole, into the 70% vs. 30% difference that we see today between Black and White menthol smokers,marlboro cigarettes website, respectively.
By 1974, the industry was fully segmented, but companies displayed little internal knowledge of why blacks liked menthols. A 76-page research brief on the topic by the William Esty Co. had only this to say about the issue:
In 1974, before the introduction of lights, Black-menthol smokers, to a greater degree than their White counterparts, believed menthol cigarettes were less hazardous/irritating than other cigarettes. This may help explain why lights have not done as well among Black menthol smokers as they have among the general smoking population.
Over-the-counter “nicotine replacement therapies,” or NRTs, can help. These are medications that contain nicotine to help reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms so you can focus on changing the behavior and habits that trigger your urge to smoke. NRTs available without a doctor’s prescription include nicotine lozenges, nicotine gum,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and nicotine patches.
You can also get a prescription from your doctor for NRTS such as nicotine inhalers and nasal sprays that act much like the over-the-counter NRTs.
Other prescription medications like bupropion SR and varenicline tartrate do not contain nicotine and work in different ways to help reduce your urge to smoke. These medications are FDA-approved and proven to be effective in helping smokers to quit. Talk to your doctor or health care provider.
Counseling can be combined with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Counseling and medication are effective when used by themselves for treating tobacco dependence. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the combination of counseling and medication is more effective than either alone.
Regardless of how you decide to quit, whether you use medicines, counseling, or simply stopping smoking now, the most important thing is to try and stick to it.
The U.S tobacco giants barely managed to celebrate their victory against Native American online tobacco sellers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act was approved by the Congress, when the US Food & Drug Administration spoiled the festivity by introducing new rules,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rigorous and excessive.
Commonwealth Brands Inc., the fourth biggest tobacco company across the country was shocked to familiarize with the latest rules approved by Food & Drug Administration. The regulations published last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are not the new ones, but a reissued copy of 1996 regulations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which explain and enforce restrictions on promotion, marketing and advertisements of cigarettes and other tobacco items.
Anthony Hemsley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Commonwealth Brands’ vice director of corporate affairs, declared Commonwealth Brands expressed its support for the regulations intended for reducing teenage smoking rates. Nevertheless, as regards other regulations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Agency once again showed its ignorance and lack of respect for tobacco industry it is supposed to control. Although the tobacco companies closely collaborated with FDA experts, their opinion was completely sidelined,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to Hemsley.
