Kool was one of the main beneficiaries of the ending of the Tar Derby in 1961; people could put down their nonfiltered cigarettes and pick up a filter-tipped Kool to get more taste, flavor, and strength.
Statistics show that even the rise of cigarette prices can not make smokers to quit.
Many smokers think that higher cigarette prices would make them healthier.
There is plenty of evidence that smoking is very bad for people, and almost as much evidence that people smoke fewer cigarettes if they are expensive.
But “healthy smokers” are not the same thing as happy smokers.
If smokers are rational, they will not believe such a thing. But if smokers are wracked by temptation and are trying unsuccessfully to quit, then higher prices might make them happier by encouraging them to smoke less or even to stop entirely.
Researchers reported that people before deciding whether to light up, they compare the health risks of smoking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the possible social and psychological benefits, and the fact that it is habit-forming.
Rather than acting rationally, smokers are helpless puppets who will pay any price for a smoke. If so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], expensive cigarettes are bad news for them making them poorer without encouraging them to quit. But that possibility doesn’t fit the facts: We know that smokers respond to price signals by smoking less.
“It is absolutely incorrect for the Agency to have a different approach to the tobacco industry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], comparing to other businesses it controls. Instead of establishing reliable relations and create reasonable policies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the FDA is only considering the opinion of ubiquitous and one-sided anti-smoking advocates, who are neither interested in respecting the rights of adult smokers that buy legal products,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nor understand the dimensions of the economic consequences their excessive and draconian measures can lead to.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected a request by cigarette giant Philip Morris USA to remove four members of a key tobacco-products advisory panel that the company said had extensive conflicts of interest.
Altria Group Inc. disclosed in a quarterly financial report with regulators Wednesday that its Philip Morris USA unit asked the FDA last month to withdraw four nominees because they had financial and other conflicts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including having served as paid expert witnesses for plaintiffs in litigation against tobacco companies. The Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee was formed in the wake of the landmark law enacted last year that gave the agency broad powers to oversee the industry.
The FDA denied the request in a letter to the tobacco purveyor on March 25. According to an agency spokeswoman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the letter said the “FDA followed existing law and procedure to recruit the best scientific experts and to ensure that [the panel] has a balanced composition of expertise to handle the many complex tobacco-related issues it will face.”
Philip Morris USA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the largest U.S. cigarette maker by sales, and U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., another unit of Richmond, Va.-based Altria, requested that the agency remove as panelists Neal Benowitz,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gregory Connolly, Jack Henningfield and Jonathan Samet.
