Will Ohio Ban Smoking in Cars?

COLUMBUS — Ohio lawmakers are considering a proposal to ban smoking in cars when there are passengers six or younger.

Dr. Robert Bates is a Cleveland Clinic physician who specializes in smoking risks impacting children.

“We do see increased inflammation and increased cardiovascular problems, particularly in children. We see problems of allergies  asthma and more bronchitis.  … There is no safe dose of cigarette smoke, particularly for children,” he said.

He believes the ban should be extended to 17 years and younger.  California is one of several states with such a ban and has the higher age.

    Poll Indicates 70% Approval for Smoking Ban in Indiana

    A new poll issued by anti-smoking advocates Tuesday showed 70 percent support among Hoosiers for a statewide smoking ban covering most workplaces, including restaurants and bars.

    In the poll of 500 likely voters, 27 percent opposed such a law, and 3 percent were unsure. Support levels varied only slightly across political affiliation.

    The Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air, a coalition of health-oriented organizations, released the poll, which was conducted Saturday through Monday by Public Opinion Strategies. Its margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

      Brazil Bans Smoking Nationwide

      BRASILIA, Brazil — The Brazilian Congress has passed a bill banning smoking in enclosed public places nationwide.

      Smoking bans are already in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other big cities.

      The new law goes one step further. It makes illegal designated smoking rooms in airports and bars that exist even in those places with a ban already in place.

      It also raises taxes on tobacco products and is forcing a minimum price on the products, increasing costs for consumers by up to 55 percent within four years.

        Will Smoking in Your Car Soon Become Illegal?

        By Karen Kaplan, Los Angeles Times / For the Booster Shots blogNovember 16, 2011, 12:18 p.m.

        How would you feel if the government told you that you couldn’t smoke in your own car?

        Perhaps you’d endorse the idea that public health officials were trying to make it harder for people to maintain a habit that increases their risk of developing lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease and a host of other problems. Maybe you’d rejoice that you’d never again be forced to carpool to a meeting with a chain-smoking colleague. You might even breathe a sigh of relief for all the children of smokers who would be able to ride to school, soccer practice and piano lessons without being forced to inhale clouds of secondhand smoke.

        And some of you – smokers or not – might be more than a tad annoyed at the prospect of Big Brother dictating what you can and cannot do in the privacy of your own vehicle.

          FDA will Study Impact of Tobacco Regulations Upon Smokers

          U.S. health regulators said they will follow the behavior and health of 40,000 smokers aged 12 and older to study the effects of new tobacco regulations.

          The joint effort by the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health is the first such study since Congress asked the FDA to regulate tobacco products in 2009.

          The FDA said the results will help it better tailor regulations to inform people about the risks of tobacco products.

            FDA issues graphic cigarette labels

            RICHMOND, Va. – Rotting teeth. Diseased lungs. A corpse of a smoker. Nine new warning labels featuring graphic images that convey the dangers of smoking will be required by the Food and Drug Administration to be on U.S. cigarette packs by 2012.

            Other images include a man with a tracheotomy smoking and a mother holding a baby with smoke swirling around them. The labels will include phrases like “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer.”

            The labels, which the FDA released Tuesday, are a part of the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years. They’re aimed at curbing tobacco use, which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths in the U.S. a year.

              Chantix Lawsuits

              The anti-smoking drug Chantix has been linked to an increased risk of suicides, suicide attempts, aggressive and unusual behavior. The FDA has received hundreds of reports involving serious and sometimes fatal injuries linked to psychiatric side effects, and required that a black box warning about the Chantix suicide risk be placed on the medication.

              STATUS OF CHANTIX LITIGATION: Potential lawsuits are being by attorneys on behalf of individuals throughout the United States. All federal Chantix lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL that is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

                Outdoor Smoking Ban Takes Effect in Brooklyn

                The city’s outdoor smoking ban is now in effect, with smoking is outlawed in city parks, pedestrian plazas, beaches, boardwalks, marinas, public golf courses and sports stadia.

                City officials say the new law is expected to be enforced mostly by New Yorkers themselves, who are urged to call 311 if they spot smokers breaking the law.

                Violators will face a $50 fine, but only the city’s 200 Parks Enforcement Patrol officers can hand out those summonses. Those officers are also putting the emphasis on educating the general public.

                In a statement released Monday, Parks Department officials said: “The new smoking ban is a quality of life rule that is primarily self-enforcing. We’re counting on all New Yorkers to comply just as they do with other quality of life rules. Parks Enforcement Officers, who ensure quality of life issues in our parks and beaches, do have the ability to issue summonses to those who do not comply with parks rules, and when possible will educate and advise before taking further action when overseeing compliance.”

                  E-Cigarettes Declared Illegal by FDA

                  Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) — Electronic cigarettes sold in the U.S. are being marketed illegally as smoking-cessation aids, the Food and Drug Administration said.

                  E-cigarettes and related products sold by five closely held companies require approval as drugs or medical devices because they’re promoted to help smokers stop or reduce use of regular cigarettes, the FDA said in warning letters posted today on the agency’s website. To sell the products, companies must conduct animal and human studies and apply for FDA clearance, the agency said in a separate letter to the Electronic Cigarette Association, a Washington-based industry group.

                  FDA Slow on Enforcing Tobacco Regulation

                  RICHMOND, Va. — A year after a new law put tobacco regulation in the hands of the Food and Drug Administration, one thing is clear: It will likely be years before any of the most aggressive steps to reduce deaths from smoking might happen.

                  When President Barack Obama signed the bill into law last June, anti-tobacco advocates suggested it could lead to a reduction in nicotine levels, a ban on menthol cigarettes or other aggressive moves.

                  Such moves are still a long way down the road as the FDA takes its time assessing the scientific evidence for what would best improve public health. That leaves the future of the industry and effects on both companies and consumers under a cloud of smoke
