Work as art

The Cultivation of Tobacco, the monumental artwork created in 1960 by the husband-and-wife Greek engravers, Tassos (Anastasios Alevizos), and Loukia Maggiorou, is returning to Stavroupouli in Thessaloniki, according to a story by Nicky Mariam Onti for the Greek Reporter
The masterpiece shows men and women engaged in the cultivation and processing of tobacco in all its stages.
Last April, the work was said to have been transferred to the National Gallery for ‘maintenance, storage and protection’.
With the maintenance completed, it will join the collection of the State Museum of Contemporary Art.

Why Non Filtered Cigarettes

Menthol is a chemical compound which is made of natural extract, and when inhaled it gives a cool sensation to the lungs. The flavor of menthol cigarettes is very light, and slim body of the cigarette has made people long for it. There are manufacturers who make only menthol cigarettes, but most of them who create for the masses have both menthol and the regular ones. The most famous menthol brands are the Kool, Salem and Maverick. Marlboro has launched menthol cigarettes recently, too, which is becoming very popular.

Menthol cigarettes were first developed by Lloyd "Spud" Hughes in 1924, though the idea did not become popular until the Axton-Fisher Tobacco Company acquired the patent in 1927, marketing them nationwide as "Spud Menthol Cooled Cigarettes" R.J. Reynolds Company launched the first menthol filter-tip cigarettes in 1956 under the Salem brand^. Less heavily mentholated than Kools, Salems were positioned as an all-purpose cigarette, and captured 0.8% market share within their first year.

Menthol cigarettes are constructed similarly to non-mentholated cigarettes, with menthol added at any of several stages during the manufacturing process. Menthol may be derived from distilled corn mint oil, or produced synthetically. While trace amounts of menthol may be added to non-mentholated cigarettes for flavor or other reasons, a menthol cigarette typically has at least 0.3% menthol content by weight. Lower-tar menthol cigarettes may have menthol levels up to 2%, in order to keep menthol delivery constant despite the filtration and ventilation designs used to reduce tar.
Compared to tobacco blends for non-mentholated cigarettes, a menthol cigarette will tend to have more flue-cured than burley tobacco, and less oriental tobacco.

One of the most profitable industries in the world: Tobacco

The tobacco industry is one of the most profitable industries in the world. To market their deadly products, tobacco companies use their enormous wealth and influence both locally and globally. Even as advocacy groups and policy makers work to combat the tobacco industry’s influence, new and manipulative tactics are used by tobacco companies and their allies to circumvent tobacco control efforts. It is important for tobacco control advocates to know which companies are present, how and where they operate, the types and quantity of products sold, and marketing tactics used to sell tobacco products. By being informed about all aspects of the tobacco sale industry within a country, advocates are better equipped to fight the tobacco industry and its allies on multiple levels.
It is important to note that the tobacco companies typically report market data annually at least several months after the end of the fiscal year. By its nature, annual market data reported by analysts and tobacco companies are one or two years old. Therefore, general trends, forecast data, and tobacco industry positioning within the market contained here are the most recent we are able to obtain from tobacco analysts, Euromonitor International, and other sources.

Korean Merchants protest cigarette prices

Korean merchants from across the province claim they’re being forced out business by Imperial Tobacco.

More than 800 members of the Ontario Korean Business Association, which represents 2,000 stores, travelled to Toronto on Tuesday to rally outside media companies to get their message out.

They charged that Imperial Tobacco is selling busy stores tobacco products at cheaper prices than retail outlets which are less active.

Association president Ken Lee said the company began last month charging mom and pop stores more expensive prices for cigarettes, as compared to stores that sold a huge volume of smokes.

Lee estimated about 30% of Ontario stores purchased cartons $5 to $10 less than other stores.

“This pricing is very unfair to us and it will drive many small stores out of business,” he said on Tuesday. “Many stores that don’t get a good price have to sell cigarettes at cost or under cost to stay alive.”

About 60 of the businessmen, who travelled from Niagara Falls, Barrie and other areas, were holding signs in a rally outside the Toronto Sun’s King St. E. offices on Tuesday.

Store owner Jay Jin said he has a tough time keeping his store open and called for a universal price for cigarettes.

“Under this system it is very difficult for us to make a living,” Jin said.

Imperial spokesman Eric Gagnon said some merchants belong to a preferred pricing program and get better rates based on the volume sold and other criteria they have to meet.

“We haven’t seen any store closures in a pilot project,” Gagnon said on Tuesday.

The European Travel Retail Council raises alarm over duty-free tobacco threat

The European Travel Retail Council (ETRC) has expressed its concern that a claim in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Tobacco Free Initiative technical report on price and taxation policies of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) could threaten the future of duty-free tobacco sales. The report suggests that duty-free tobacco sales undermine national taxation policies, which could be indirectly used to attack the duty-free industry. It also claims that duty-free is a major source of illicit trade, tax avoidance and tax evasion.

ETRC secretary general Keith Spinks said: "These are claims made without any basis. Duty-free sales account for less than 1% of the global tobacco market. It is disingenuous in the extreme to suggest that with such limited presence, duty-free undermines national taxation policies. We anticipate the working group with begin its work in 2011 and the industry across the world will be responding accordingly."

The WHO working group, which was established to examine the use of price and taxation policies as a means to reduce the demand for tobacco following the fourth Conference of the Parties in Uruguay last week, will look to integrate finance ministries into tobacco control, an area typically reserved for health ministries. Its focus will be on areas raised by the WHO's Tobacco Free Initiative in its technical report.

The group will comprise representatives from five states from each of the WHO's six regions and function without a budget in 2011. It also faces substantial opposition from various EU countries which believe taxation should remain a matter for national governments.

In a further development, the WHO will hold the next round of negotiations on the Illicit Trade Protocol in early 2012. The ETRC and other stakeholder organisations have consistently defended the industry against claims that duty-free is a major source of illicit trade.

Law snuffs out mailing smokes to deployed troops

Family and friends have suddenly found themselves blocked from shipping cigarettes and other tobacco products to American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq because of a new law meant to hamper smuggling and underage sales through the mail.

The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2009 quietly took effect June 29. It cut off those care packages by effectively requiring that tobacco be sent with one particular kind of U.S. Postal Service shipping that requires a signature for delivery but does not deliver to most overseas military addresses.

April Woods, the 26-year-old wife of a Fort Campbell soldier in Afghanistan, used to regularly send him packages of snacks, drink mixes, pictures and cartons of his favorite variety of Marlboros.

"I would hope that they would change it. It's just ridiculous that they take so much away from our soldiers," Woods said.

Woods said her husband, Sgt. Randall Woods, doesn't have easy access to the stores on some Afghanistan bases that sell cigarettes and he also doesn't keep a lot of cash on him while deployed.

"So the only way he has to get cigarettes is through family members," she said.

Woods said every friend of hers with a spouse who smokes is very upset over the restrictions.

The law was created to prevent minors from ordering cigarettes through the mail and to prevent trafficking by requiring tracking and confirmation that the recipient is old enough. It allows small shipments of tobacco products, but only via Express Mail because that's the only postal service product that meets the identification requirements under the law.

"The issue is that Express Mail is not available to some overseas military destinations, primarily Iraq or Afghanistan," said Beth Barnett, spokeswoman for the postal service in Tennessee.

Families don't have any other options for shipping cigarettes. The law only affects the U.S. Postal Service because UPS and FedEx do not allow consumer-to-consumer shipping of tobacco.

Lynn Becker, a spokeswoman for the bill's sponsor, Sen. Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that the law did not intend to restrict mailing tobacco to soldiers.

"Sen. Kohl's counsel is working with the legal office at USPS to determine whether there is an alternative to Express Mail that could be used to reach troops overseas," Becker said. "He's also working on a legislative fix to ensure that service members overseas can receive care packages that include tobacco products."

Kohl sent a letter to the Postmaster General asking him to change the regulations, because the bill also expressly permits the shipping of tobacco from adult to adult, including to military addresses.

The military has been trying to reduce smoking among soldiers and vets, including banning indoor smoking and ending smoking on submarines by the end of the year. The Pentagon laid out a plan in 1999 to reduce smoking rates by 5 percent a year and reduce chewing tobacco use to 15 percent by 2001, but wasn't able to achieve the goals. And the Defense Department received a study last year recommending the military move toward becoming tobacco-free perhaps in about 20 years.

But the sudden shift on mailing rules has sown confusion among family and charity groups who now wonder how else to get cigarettes to troops.

Susan Baldwin, of Fairview, Tenn., is the mother of two sailors in the Navy. One of her sons is deployed and asked her to send him a certain type of coffee and his favorite brand of menthol cigarettes.

Baldwin went to the post office to ship the items, but was repeatedly told she couldn't include the cigarettes in the package.

Tracy Della Vecchia, executive director and founder of MarineParents.com, said she thinks a quick fix would be to just exempt packages to military addresses from having to ship by Express Mail because soldiers serving overseas are old enough to buy tobacco.

"It's discriminating against people who are serving in combat zones," she said.

In the past, the group has sent care packages to Marines that include smokeless tobacco or cigarettes if they request it.

"For now, I will absolutely not send any tobacco, because we are a huge organization and I don't want the much needed supplies like baby wipes and toothpaste to go unreceived," she said.

But for parents looking to make their son or daughter a little happier while in a war zone, that's not always an easy decision.

Woods said her husband and the soldiers he's serving with are doing the best they can among themselves.

"Basically everyone tries to share what they can share," she said.

Hot air from Big Tobacco

Any company selling products that addict and eventually kill 400,000 customers annually might well be reluctant to point out the health dangers.

So the federal courts should be mighty skeptical when Big Tobacco screams about its First Amendment rights to keep peddling cigarettes without the oversize health warning labels ordered by Congress this year.

With a free-speech lawsuit filed last week, the nation's largest tobacco companies challenged marketing restrictions and a mandate from the Food and Drug Administration to cover the top half of cigarette packages with graphic warnings by next year.

The glaring warnings on cigarette packs are among the directives provided under the FDA's new oversight of tobacco products approved in landmark public-health legislation signed by President Obama in June.

Along with the warning labels and limits on tobacco advertising, the FDA won the right to ban toxic substances in cigarettes and restrict levels of addictive nicotine.

But the trade-off was a major victory for tobacco companies such as giant Philip Morris U.S.A. that assured nicotine would never be banned. And now the industry can market its products as having the FDA's stamp of approval, even though smoking-related illnesses will continue to kill thousands.

Even with those gains in hand, there was little doubt that cigarette makers would try to wriggle out from under the FDA advertising and labeling mandates. In fact, it took just a few months.

For decades, tobacco firms hid the devastating health risks of smoking, made bogus safety claims, and pitched smoking to teens.

Despite that history as a rogue industry, the tobacco companies contend in their lawsuit that tobacco products are legal and, therefore, they have a right to market widely and refuse labels that "stigmatize their own products."

The case likely will reach the Supreme Court, which decisively struck down restrictions on billboard tobacco ads on free speech grounds in 2001. Were the industry's broad legal challenge to succeed, FDA regulation of tobacco would be virtually meaningless.

Maybe Big Tobacco will be able to hide behind the Bill of Rights, but Americans should have a greater right to public-health efforts designed to safeguard them from the deadly ills of smoking.

Philip Morris to Acquire Protabaco for $425 Million

Philip Morris International Inc. agreed to buy Productora Tabacalera de Colombia, Protabaco Ltda. for $452 million, its second acquisition this month as tobacco demand rises in emerging markets.

The purchase of Colombia’s second-largest tobacco company needs regulatory approval and is expected to be completed within six months, New York-based Philip Morris said today in a statement. The maker of Marlboro cigarettes bought Colombia’s biggest tobacco company, Compania Colombiana de Tabaco SA, in 2005.

Philip Morris, the world’s largest publicly traded tobacco company, agreed to buy Swedish Match AB’s South African unit for $224 million last week. Spun off last year from Altria Group Inc., Philip Morris generates all its sales outside the U.S. Revenue from Latin America and Canada rose 11 percent in the first quarter while falling 12 percent in Europe, the company said in April. Shipments in Colombia declined during the period, Philip Morris said.

Closely held Protabaco sells the Mustang, Premier and President brands. It had about 32 percent of Colombia’s cigarette sales last year, with revenue of $107.6 million and shipments of 6.1 billion cigarettes, Philip Morris said.

Philip Morris rose 1 cent to $42.35 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have dropped 2.7 percent this year.

Origin of imports and destination of exports

In the early 1990s, the United States of America took the largest share of Turkish exports (over 55 percent), followed by EU countries (about 25 percent). Over time, the share of the United States has declined to about 30 percent and the share of EU countries increased to nearly 40 percent.
The major importers of Turkey’s tobacco are now the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa and Germany. In 1990, Turkey imported almost all its tobacco from the United States.
Turkey is a net importer of tobacco from the United States, Switzerland, France, Canada, Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa, and net exporter to the remainder.
