An infection that often goes undetected can block the lung's natural protective response against TOBACCO smoke, according to researchers at National Jewish Health. Mice exposed to TOBACCO smoke infected with the common lung pathogen Myclplasma pneumoniae fail to mount the protective antioxidant response in the lungs that mice do when exposed to TOBACCO smoke alone. The findings suggest one mechanism that may cause a minority of smokers to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ...

Over 8000 lawsuits and so little time. Florida Big TOBACCO lawyers want to call in fellow Big TOBACCO lawyers from other states to assist in defending the lawsuits filed by injured victims in the "Engle" TOBACCO litigation. Apparently, Big TOBACCO has told their lawyers to call off the vacations and forget the holidays. Why is this noteworthy? Big TOBACCO wants to use lawyers who are NOT licensed in the State of Florida. Through prior experience, it is known that these lawyers will not be subject to ethical regulation by the Florida Bar. In addition, again through prior experience, the Bar associations in which the lawyers are licensed usually take an approach of, "well, the misconduct didn't happen in our state, so we can not exercise jurisdiction over it". So, in the event these lawyers' conduct is ever called into question,the Bar and the courts may lack the power to monitor or discipline them. There is also a practical reason that Big TOBACCO wants to use out of state lawyers. They need to wear down the attorneys who are representing injured victims. Big TOBACCO's "scorched earth" approach to defending cases only works if they can throw legions of lawyers at one case and run the costs up for the plaintiff. Big TOBACCO's defense strategy only works where they can have 10, 20, or 30 lawyers working against 1 or 2 plaintiffs; generating tons of paper and eating up thousands of hours of time. Maybe, given these hard economic time ...

Sometime this week, the U.S. House of Representatives is likely to consider a major TOBACCO bill, The “Family Smoking Prevention and TOBACCO Control Act.” (H.R.1108). This bill gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) virtually complete regulatory control over all aspects of the TOBACCO industry, including the marketing of TOBACCO products. While Congress has the power to decide how to regulate the TOBACCO industry, it must do so in ways that do not violate the Constitution. We believe there are several very serious defects with the bill, including marketing restrictions which violate the First Amendment. ANA, the American Association of... ...
