cheap cigarettes

Smokers or not, Italian Canadians all agree with the proposal to extend the ban on second-hand cheap cigarettes smoke to cars. ?It?s the right thing? and ?it?s a good law? are some of the comments heard along St. Clair Ave., although some of the nicotine lovers believe a $250 fine is excessive.
All seem to agree to giving up a ?smoke? here and there for the sake of kids, aware that what is being asked of them is not such a huge sacrifice. And some intend to go beyond the proposed law, saying that it would be right to ban smoking not only in cars, but in homes too, and not just for the sake of the children.
?It?s right to send a message to those who aren?t aware of the dangers of second-hand smoke,? says Raymond Ciatinella, a smoker, ?but I don?t agree with the fine. I think $250 is too much for smoking a cigarette in your car.? According to him, in fact, a lower, symbolic fine would also be enough to get the message across. ?Anyways,? he concludes, ?anyone can resist the urge to smoke for an hour.?
?I think it?s a good idea,? says Bruno Romano, another smoker who thinks the $250 fine is too high. ?We have to think about the future of the kids, even if it?s tough to not smoke. This is why we?ve gotten used to not smoking inside the house, so we go out to the porch. We?ll do the same with cars.?
Among the smokers, some actually seem enthused with the new proposal: ?I think this law, like any law which is for peoples? health, is good,? says Carmelo Trotta who, notwithstanding his cigarette habit, seems genuinely happy with the proposed ban.

Council members seem aware that second-hand smoke alone might not warrant large bans. In 2007, Stanford University released one of the first studies that measured the impact of outdoor second-hand smoke. The study found that someone within a few feet of a smoker outdoors could be exposed to air pollution levels similar to an indoor environment. But the study also found that moving six feet away from a smoker drastically reduced a person's pollution intake, and that, unlike indoor smoke, outdoor smoke disappeared rapidly after a cheap cigarettes was extinguished.
Schiele believes the argument for outdoor bans goes beyond second-hand smoke.
"My goal is to have as many places smoke-free as possible," he said. "We want to change the norm. We want to change what is expected when people walk outside.... For people trying to quit smoking, being around smoking is difficult. Public health should give people the advantage to quit."

The UK market for camel has fallen 4% in part due to the impact of the smoking ban, the world's fourth-biggest tobacco firm said.

Lambert & Butler maker Imperial Tobacco said the size of the market in the year to December fell to ?47 billion, reflecting last summer's introduction of the smoking ban in England and Wales.

Despite the decline in the overall market, the Bristol-based company said it maintained its UK market share at 46.6% in the first quarter of the new financial year.

Strong sales of Windsor Blue and king size packets of Lambert & Butler and Richmond, coupled with an average 11p price rise across its portfolio, gave the firm a positive start to the year in the UK, it said.

Imperial Tobacco's chief executive Gareth Davis, said: "2007 was another record year for Imperial Tobacco with growth in cigarette volumes, camel online market share gains and excellent performances from our key brands.

"In the first quarter of 2008 many of these positive trends continued with further growth in earnings, cigarette volumes and share gains in many markets."

Imperial said trading for the financial year to September 30 is set to remain in line with its expectations.

The group, which also makes Rizla cigarette papers and Golden Virginia rolling tobacco, said it boosted its market share in Germany to 21.4% despite the cigarette market dipping 6%. Trading was helped by strong growth in JPS as its flagship product West struggled.

Imperial has just completed its ?11 billion acquisition of European rival Altadis which it stressed will be financed by a rights issue of no more than ?5 billion, due to be completed by July 18.

Mr Davis said the acquisition of the Gauloises maker would create "many new opportunities", and added: "I am confident that the combined talents of our employees, our extended geographic reach and our broad multi-product portfolio will significantly strengthen our competitive position and create sustainable value for our shareholders."

Recently, Canadian hardcore band Fucked Up, along with 90 other independent artists, found their name listed in a foldout entitled УIndie Rock UniverseФ in Rolling Stone magazine. The foldout is at first blush a feel-good exercise in which Rolling Stone touts its support of the indie community, and normally, getting any kind of coverage in Rolling Stone would probably be quite welcome. But in this case, the foldout was smack in the middle of a four-page special advertising section for buy camel online. The Camel ad touted its support of the indie community via the so-called УFarm.Ф The Camel adТs artwork look and feel flowed into the foldout section, creating the impression that the foldout was part of the ad. You might naturally imagine that the artists in the foldout consented to having their names used in a cigarette ad. Not so, argue Fucked Up. They were never contacted about the foldout and never gave their consent. In December, along with the band Xiu Xiu, Fucked Up launched a class action suit against Camel manufacturer RJ Reynolds and Rolling Stone for infringements under a California statute stated as Уunauthorized use of the artistsТ names,Ф Уunauthorized use of the artistsТ names for commercial purposesФ and unfair business practices.
