For five decades, Lao Long’s lungs have endured cigarette after cigarette―thousands of cigarettes inhaled with chemicals and carcinogens ingested with each puff. Smoking had been a comforting and relaxing short-term pleasure for Lao, but the advent of lung cancer now has him filled with regret and struggling for his life. In Beijing’s Xuanwu Hospital, Lao stares undauntedly at the needle slowly penetrating the vein in his hand.
Needles rate as a minor nuisance compared to the harrowing reality of lung cancer. Along with Lao,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the surgical ward has more than 40 lung cancer patients, with the youngest just over 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and like Lao, 90 percent have smoked for decades. The fatal disease has converted the majority to an anti-smoking stance, where their regret has brought them the resolve to finally quit. “It’s about time we understand that life is much more important than smoking,” Lao said.
According to China’s Tobacco Control Report issued in 2010, each year over one million people die from smoking-related diseases. Yet despite this, China has failed to fulfill its commitment to ban smoking entirely in offices and indoor public places five years after it signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in 2006.
Tax exemptions for Indian tribes are common across the country and were granted in exchange for, among other things, giving up millions of acres of land,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said. “And I think that gets lost in all of that,” Burich said. “They’ve given up an awful lot in order to get what really amounts to a very small exemption from taxation.”
Concern over the issue has extended into Niagara County, which has the Tuscarora Reservation. Personnel at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station got an e-mail Friday urging individuals to be aware of the “threat” related to the tax-collection matter: “Due to the increased threat, it is strongly recommended personnel limit their travels in and around Local Reservation areas cq(Tuscarora,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Allegany, Irving)cq to include Native American operated casinos.
If travel through these areas is unavoidable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], members should maintain heightened situational awareness to malicious activity.” The e-mail, which had the subject line “FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ONLY ― NATIVE AMERICAN THREAT,” continues: “Those personnel who patron [sic] Native American retailers should remain cognizant of the current threat and report any adverse activity to the [State] Police or the closest servicing law enforcement agency. Personnel should not engage or interact with malevolent activity and immediately vacate to seek haven.”
Mass messages to base personnel are sent when there is something in the community individuals should be vigilant about or aware of, said Maj. Andrea E. Pitruzzella of the base’s public affairs office. “They’re not very frequent at all,” Pitruzzella said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], noting that this message was sent because of the base’s proximity to the reservation areas. “It’s just keeping us aware of our surroundings.”
