Smoke-Free Students Lifestyle, Bakersfield College

Friday, November 16th, 2019

Bakersfield College’s Mentoring and Peer Services, and the Student Health and Wellness Center will host the 37th annual Great American Smokeout on Nov. 15, argued Richard Heath, the Student Government Association treasurer and lead MAPS mentor. This is Heath’s second year participating in the Smokeout. “When we did it last year it was pretty very successful,” he said. “We brought out the tombstone and the coffin, and we had people donating cigarettes.” This year donating your cigarettes may win you a NOOK tablet reader.

You can get raffle tickets to win the NOOK by donating your cigarettes, or watching some of the cig educational screenings during the Smokeout. B-COUGH is also part of the Smokeout according to Nick Acosta, SGA general counsel and B-COUGH’s student chair. B-COUGH is coordinating with MAPS to help organize the event. “We want to see just how we’re going to reach people and encourage them to stop smoking tobacco,” Acosta argued.

“I think it’s going to be a great event. There will also be students filling out pledges to quit smoking. “We’re going to encourage people to stop smoking in a bunch of different ways as possible, and hopefully we’ll bring awareness to the smoking issue and help them stop smoking.” Tobacco Free Coalition of Kern County will have events in the Levan Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. discussing various topics including cigarette-butt littering, second-hand smoke and other smoking control issues affecting Kern County residents. Heath said Kern County Mental Health and the Student Health and Wellness Center will conduct depression screenings in the three tents that will be on the grassy area in front of the library. He is encouraging students to take advantage of it.

Tawntannisha Thompson, BC’s liaison to the dean of students and coordinator for MAPS and BC Be Fit, said that November is fight depression month. She said that last month the students were given suicide literature and some had an initial screening, and that this is just a follow up to that. “Everything’s going to be under the tent,” Thompson said. “There will be popcorn and cotton candy.” BC Be Fit will be in one of the tents having a Zumba dance session to get people’s hearts pumping. Thompson wouldn’t let on about the surprises and other things happening in the tents. “They have to show up to find out what’s going on under the tent,” said Thompson. The coffin, the raffle, the screenings, “It’s all taking place under the tent.” Heath said that every time MAPS set up the tables on the campus they see between 200 to 300 students. Usually two or three students take his advice.

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.

Smoking Breaks at Work Should Not be Permitted, South Australia News

Friday, September 14th, 2019

More than two-thirds of the 2500 inhabitants to the study believed smokers should not be permitted smoking breaks at work but if they were, 93.1 percent believe nonsmokers should get them as well. Of the 29.3 percent of inhabitants who smoked, the poll also found that 30 percent of those were spending $50-$100 on cigs weekly. An additional 14.1 per cent spent more than $100 on their nicotine addiction each week. Last month, a movement calling for a prohibition on cigarettes sales to anyone born after 1999 was passed in Tasmania’s Upper House.

The Adelaidenow study found 67.7 percent of inhabitants would support the same suggestion in South Australia.

Kathryn Barnsley, who notified parliamentary leaders in Tasmania on  smoking control, declared that much more must be done for to prevent kids starting smoking habit.

“Smoking tobacco is a pediatric illness,” Ms Barnsley added.

“It is taken up by kids, they become nicotine addicted and find it hard to quit smoking when they are adults.” She argued that tobacco use should be phased out by 2021 and heavily addicted smokers given opportunity to tobacco products under a licensing scheme.

Cancer Council SA chief executive Professor Brenda Wilson explained that most smokers were nicotine addicted in their teenager years.

“Cancer Council SA will continue to support the measures that are not only aimed at preventing young people taking up the smoking habit but which also assist people in quitting, such as a full prohibition on smoking in outdoor places and dining settings.”

Opposition health spokesman Martin Hamilton-Smith reported that prohibiting smoking tobacco would not work.

Cigarettes Sales Prohibited in Watertown, Tobacco Business

Wednesday, August 29th, 2019

Watertown pharmacies will soon be prohibited from selling Dunhill cigarettes and other tobacco products. The Watertown Board of Health voted unanimously on August 15 to ban the sale of smoking products at all health care institutions, like supermarkets that work pharmacies. “It sends the wrong message for health-care institutions, including pharmacies, to sell smoking products. Healthcare institutions are places that should be advertising health, and the harmful health effects of smoking are well known,” declared Watertown Director of Public Health Steven Ward in a research.

The board also voted to increase the minimum cigarettes sale age from 18 to 19, which will affect the 43 licensed tobacco retailers in town.

The “Regulation of the Watertown Board of Health Banning the Sale of Tobacco Products and Nicotine Delivery Products” will go into effect on Dec. 1, 2019. Pharmacies will be permitted to continue to sell nicotine patches and other FDA-approved substances for quit smoking habit. Boston was the first city in Massachusetts to ordain a similar law. Almost 32 per cent of Massachusetts is currently covered by similar ordinances.

Town Council President Mark Sideris argued that the two CVS pharmacies in Watertown will be affected by the new ban. He also added that he sent a letter to the Board of Health voicing his support for the smoking ban.

Increasing Cigarette Prices Can Decrease Smoking Rate

Thursday, August 2nd, 2019

The rising price of cigs is a great incentive for smokers to quit smoking, according to a recent study. As prices go up, it becomes cheaper to switch to other options, such as medication, instead. Being a smoker in Chicago, for example, can very easy run $300 per month, researchers said. That’s more than twice the cost of a monthly medication to help smokers quit. Nevertheless, just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it’s easy.

“Nicotine really is very addictive. It’s a hard fight, but every one that we win, including increasing the cost of cigarettes through taxes, brings smokers to the tipping point where the pain of smoking overcomes the joys of nicotine and they kick the habit,” Dr. Phillip McAndrew, an internal medicine physician and occupational health expert at Loyola University Health System, declared HealthDay.

“The tipping point could be a life-altering health experience, but often it’s the impact on the pocketbook that makes people really consider quitting.” Smoking kills approximately 400,000 people  per year, almost 1,200 every day, and the earlier smokers start the more likely they are to die from smoking-related illnesses.

More than 80 per cent of smokers start smoking habit before age 18 and 99 per cent start by age 26. Smoking tobacco can cause a lot of health problems like stroke, heart disease, chronic lung problems, and various cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Smoking cigarettes costs the United States $96 billion in medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity yearly. McAndrew declared that people who are successful at quitting smoking usually have a network of support. So for to quit you need the more time and teamwork approach.

Bulgaria Smoke-Free Nations

Friday, May 18th, 2019

Bulgaria’s parliament voted on Thursday to prohibit smoking cigarettes in all indoor places starting with June 1 in an attempt to convince one of Europe’s heaviest smoking nations to quit smoking. The European Union’s poorest member state has joined a growing list of nations to not permitted smoking in bars and restaurants. It also agreed to ban smoking outside nurseries and schools and at stadiums during sports and cultural events.

The move was appreciated by health experts and also nonsmokers. More than 40 per cent of the adult inhabitants smokes in the Balkan country.

Inspectors will enforce fines of up to 5,000 levs ($3,300) for a first violation and up to 10,000 levs for a repeat offense for bar-owners or managers tolerating smoking in restricted places. Smokers who break the legislation face up to 500 levs for a first violation, which could be doubled for repeat violations.

A recent study showed 56 per cent of Bulgarians, the second heaviest smokers in the EU after Greeks, oppose the total prohibition on smoking in indoor public places.

The Bulgarian hotel and restaurant confederation argued that it expected up to 18,000 people to lose their works as some bars and restaurants would be forced to close as smokers are not permitted inside.

Businesses, already hit by the economic drop, have asked for a three-year reprieve for restaurants, bars and cafes, and even for nightclubs to be made total free.

Smokers Quit in Nottingham

Friday, April 27th, 2019

A lot of smokers in Nottingham have quit smoking. An investigation of 2,000 people across the city found that the number of adults smokers decreased by 4.5 percentage in the past year. The research, commissioned by Nottingham City Council and the local NHS, suggests the number of smokers dropped to 27.5 per cent in 2018.

The same study was published in 2017 and discovered 32 percent of people which were questioned were every day smokers.

Nottingham still stayed overhead the national average for England, which stands at 21 percent.

But Peter Cansfield, director of public health at NHS Nottingham City, declared  that the figures showed Nottingham was moving in the right course.

He added: “These results are very positive, they also show a general decrease in the number of regular smokers, so the movement is being just great.”

Mr. Cansfield explained that the figures could mean as many as 8,000 had quit smoking, but because the investigated people was small, this statistic couldn’t be counted.

The study was completed in December 2018. City council deputy Graham Chapman, reported: “At a time when Government cuts in our spending mean we are making vigorous decisions about how to deliver anti-smoking services, these results showed that we are focusing on people’s priorities and providing new services that signify to them the most.”

The research separated the city into nine regions. Researchers found in Bulwell and Bulwell Forest the highest amount of smokers at 35.3 percent. But Wollaton had the lowest percentage of smokes at 18.8 percent.
