Smoking in Cooking Shows

Tuesday, March 5th, 2020

It is currently a typical scene in cooking shows as for instance “Top Chef” or “Hell’s Kitchen” – the stressed-out participants talking over several packages of cigarettes.

There are less and less TV shows these days that display smoking. However clouds of smoke have been a notable aspect of this season of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” as the participants worry over their preparing dishes, and rehash the earlier episode. On the final year’s season of Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” Justin Antiorio of Lyndhurst – the show’s host was often seen smoking as he announced menus and dinner services.

Antiorio stated that cigarette use during the taping “was the unique thing we could actually control” in a firmly supervised environment under the continuous glare of television cameras. . “The only thing we could do is smoke and drink as many Red Bulls as we wished.”

That the food industry is stuffed of cigarettes won’t amaze anybody who’s ever seen chefs on a smoke break. One TV show known as “Blueprint to Quit” even lately chose a notable New York restaurateur, Joe Bastianich, as a paid spokesman.
Antiorio stated the stress of the show was so fantastic that certain of his fellow non-smoking participants were lighting up.
“When I worked at the 21 Club, I could run out and smoke a cigarette between services. After pre-theater, I would go to light up, not mostly for a cigarette, but simply because you are inside this building all the day, so you need a particular escape, to get out, even for five minutes.”

“Food advertisement is a big deal,” Dobbins pointed out. “Cooks need to think about the impact they’re producing on their peers and on people whose goal it is to become a chef like them – and take the chance to encourage a healthier lifestyle.”
Smoking “does changes your taste, 100 %,” Antiorio stated. But “you should keep in mind that our palates are so skilled – we do this each day. You would probably taste lobster once in two months; I can taste it for more than six times per week.”

Britain’s Councils to Prevent Citizens from Smoking

Monday, February 4th, 2020

Dealing with smoking among teenagers, youngsters and adults is one of the most complicated responsibilities local government bodies deal with as they get ready to proceed with their public health obligations in April 2020. That’s the perspective of the Local Government Association, which not long ago organized an event in London in order to focus on the problem.

Why does a personal life-style decision as for instance a crucial challenge for local government? First of all there is a human cost as outlined by anti-smoking charity. After that there is economical cost to community of cigarette use.

The main question is whether councils have the strength to prevent their local citizens from smoking. The tactic implemented by tobacco control group Smoke Free Middlesbrough -has been extremely productive. Smoke Free Middlesbrough has established a quality standard for local schools which acknowledges those that offer the best tobacco education to teenagers and youngsters and can even show its effects. It also leads the ‘take seven steps out’ campaign, which is designed to motivate families to make their houses smoke free. Brenda Thompson, executive representative for public health and chair of Smoke Free Middlesbrough, claims that training people about the hazards of smoking is a crucial aspect of the project.

The project has been a quick success. Figures demonstrate that the region covered by Middlesbrough Primary Care Trust had a high number of smokers who stop this habit in 2017-11. According to estimates only in Middlesbrough, 1,248 per 100,000 smokers aged over 16 stopped smoking in comparison to an average of 1,225 for the north-east, and of 911 for the whole of England. Dealing with the problem of illegal smoking products is also important on the agenda of Smoke Free Middlesbrough. “Illicit tobacco sales represent an organized crime, who distributes these cigarettes to teenagers,” states Thompson, who underlines that illicit cigarettes are more dangerous to health than those sold legitimately.

At the same time, authorities declare that it is the pioneer local authority in England and Wales to approve an action supporting standardized packaging as members back the view that teenagers and youngsters are “more likely to be drawn by vivid tobacco packages than they would if cigarettes were sold in plain packaging”

Smoking Workers Miss Work, UK News

Thursday, November 1st, 2019

Smokers miss an average of two or three more days of work each year than non-smokers, with this absenteeism costing the UK alone 1.4 billion pounds – or $2.25 billion – last year, according to a UK research. The study, which appeared in the journal Smoking Addiction, analysed 29 separate reports conducted between 1960 and 2018 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the United States and Japan, with a total of approximately 71,000 public and private sector workers.

Scientists asked the workers about their current and former smoking tobacco habits and used studies or medical and employee records to track how often they were absent over an average of two years.

Current smokers were 33 per cent more likely to miss work than nonsmokers, and they were absent an amount of 2.7 extra days every year, according to Jo Leonardi-Bee of the University of Nottingham, UK. The scientists calculated that current smokers were still 19 per cent more likely to miss work than ex-smokers, so encouraging smokers to quit smoking could help revoke some of the lost-work trends.

“Quitting smoking tobacco appears to lessen absenteeism and result in substantial cost-savings for employers,” reported Leonardi-Bee and her colleagues.

The 1.4 billion pounds lost in the UK due to smoking-related absenteeism is only one cost of smoking tobacco in the workplace, according to Leonardi-Bee and her colleagues. Others include productivity lost to smoking cigarette breaks and the cost of cig, caused fire damage.

In the investigation, smoking tobacco was tied to workers’ short-term absences as well as leaves of four weeks or even more.

“Evidently the most important message for any individual’s health is, ‘Quit smoking tobacco,’ but I think that message is vigorous well out there,” explained Douglas Levy, a tobacco and public health investigator from the Harvard Medical School in Boston who wasn’t a part of the research.

“I think the recent study does point to the fact that this is something that doesn’t just affect the individual, it affects the state economy as well.”

Levy’s own study has shown that kids living with smokers are more likely to be absent from school. Secondhand tobacco smoke has been tied to a range of health ailments, from asthma to heart attacks, so employees who smoke  may also have to miss work more often to stay at home with sick family members. Levy declared that the most important finding was the reduction in absenteeism after workers quit smoking, supporting the idea of tobacco companies funding smoking cessation classes and other workplace health programs.

Friday, October 19th, 2019

The city is all set to become smoke-free very soon. The authorities will soon enforce an intensive campaign to achieve this goal, in which not only the government offices but even schools, colleges, commercial and trade organizations will have big banners bearing messages to discourage tobacco use. The administration is also going to set up a pressure squad with a view to achieve the objective expeditiously. District collector Gaurav Goyal said, “With a view to make Jodhpur a model in this direction, we are going to appeal  the acts and ordinances pertaining to cigarettes smoking with a view to make Jodhpur tobacco-free city and have started working in a planned and intensive manner.

We have also sought cooperation from the tobacco wholesalers and sellers of tobacco products to create domino effect in the society, especially among the youth”, declared Goyal.

Goyal also held a conference with the tobacco distributors whole on Thursday for this purpose and soon a meeting will be held with the representatives of tobacco industries.

Goyal argued that consumption of tobacco products in any manner is a social vice, which has disturbing far-reaching effects.

Smoke-Free Parks, Town on Lakeshore Tobacco Ban

Monday, October 15th, 2019

A new smoking legislation designed to filter smokers from parks and recreation spaces is in the works in the Town of Lakeshore. If the ordinances enforced inhabitants won’t be able to smoke tobacco and cigarettes in parks, playgrounds and sports fields in Lakeshore. Stacey Lanoue brings her two kids to play at Lakeshore Park. She supports the new ordinance. “That’s something that’s really disappointing ; when people are smoking cigs and we walk through the tobacco smoke,” Lanoue declared. “As non-smokers, it is frustrating. “Lakeshore’s youth council brought the proposed legislation to town council.

The Windsor Essex County Health Unit also investigated 88 teens in Lakeshore and found that most of them want public places to be smoke-free.

Zach Marchand is on the youth council and argued that this is the first idea by youth council to be considered for a law.

“Nobody likes seeing the cigarettes butts lying around. It just makes it look dirty,” he added. “But a lot of the teens are trying to move towards a healthier lifestyle. And they’re realizing the affects of tobacco smoking and how bad it is to health.”

No Smokers at Ohio State University

Monday, October 8th, 2019

Students, staff and faculty who are smokers at Ohio State might have to throw away their cigs and lighters, as the University is considering moving to a 100 per cent smoke-free environment. “Our main goal is to become the healthiest university on the globe,” declared Bernadette Melnyk, the dean of the College of Nursing, in a recent email. “It will improve everyone’s health and wellness. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable incidence and mortality in the U.S.” Tobacco smoking would be banned anywhere on university property including extension offices and regional campuses, she declared but added that off-campus places would not be affected.

“Smoke-free laws and norms reduce the initiation, influence and intensity of smoking habit in young adults,” she explained.

Faculty and staff would also have to fulfill with the new legislation if accepted, Melnyk reported.

“Workplace smoking prohibits reduce the influence of smoking and daily tobacco consumption,” she added.

Support was generated from faculty, staff and students for the university to become smoke-free since the Wexner Medical Center did so in 2006, according to the OSU’s tobacco-free proposal website.

Recommendations for universities and colleges to go smoke-free have also been made from the Ohio Board of Regents, the Ohio Board of Education, the State of Ohio Healthy Ohio Program and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, according to the website.

While tobacco use would be banned, OSU would also reduce its association with the tobacco company, Melnyk said. “There will be no tobacco ads on university property, at events or media,” she said, adding that donations, gifts or sponsorship that are associated with the tobacco industry would not be accepted, except for study.

Tobacco Business in Palmer, Smoke-Free

Thursday, October 4th, 2019

Smokers in Palmer will have to go out for to smoke a cigarette next year. A new proposal of smoking ban in the city was approved by voters on Tuesday, according to Palmer election results, passing with 61.5 per cent of voters supporting a prohibition on smoking tobacco in public spaces. All told, 735 inhabitants voted on the regulation with 452 people voting yes, and 283 people no on the ban. Palmer, a community of around 6,000 people 40 miles north of Anchorage, has considered a smoking ban before.

In 2018, the city council voted down a law 4-3. David Cheezum, chairman at Smoke-free Palmer, testified at the hearings. While he’s disappointed the city council didn’t take the initiative, he credits the work of myriad volunteers spearheading the effort to put the proposal on the ballot.

Some small businesses, in particular bars where smoking tobacco is now allowed, fear that the ban will affect their tobacco business.

Christopher Cox, the owner of Klondike Mike’s Dance Hall in Palmer, calls the smoking ban “tragic,” and “truly unfair. Ninety-five per cent of my clients smoke tobacco.” Now, inhabitants  who “don’t’ even go in my business” have dictated ordinances that directly affect his establishment, he declared.

Cox also owns the Carousel Lounge in Anchorage. He argued that when Alaska’s biggest city went smoke-free in 2007, his tobacco business lost $20,000 a year. Now, he is bracing for similar losses in Palmer. “Maybe they can lower my taxes,” he says.

Jenny Olendorff with the Alaska Smoking Control Alliance explained that she was “very excited” about the passage of the ordinance. “Everyone deserves the right to breathe smoke-free air,” she added.

“We want a generation of youngsters that are tobacco free,” and banning smoking tobacco in public workplaces is a proven strategy, she said. She also noted that investigations indicated that the financial influence on businesses over the long-term turns out to be either neutral or positive.

Cheezum also said that he’s “proud” of the community. “Palmer is going to stand out as the place that did the right thing,” he argued. But, he added, “It should not stop here. We need to make this a statewide effort,” through law passed in Juneau.
