Study Nicotine Users Closely

They are not smoking, chewing or nicotine to tease you.
They do so because they must, in order to replenish a constantly falling blood-serum nicotine level
that declines by half every two hours. Most nicotine is delivered into the bloodstream while on autopilot.

Industry Accountable for Its Deadly Products and Deceptive Actions

This explains why so few states are running effective tobacco control programs, why so few states are allocating their MSA money to anti-tobacco programs, and why Congress (aiming to protect the states they represent) crafted tobacco legislation that does very little to actually make a dent in cigarette consumption

The bottom line is that the tobacco companies have the states coming and going. The MSA scheme was brilliantly concocted by the companies: no matter what the states do, their financial well-being is inextricably tied to that of the major cigarette companies. The partnership between the two is strong and irrevocable, and the risk of states taking any major action to threaten tobacco profits is nil.

This is the ultimate reason why I think that the MSA was such a disaster from a public health perspective.

Maryland Considers Cigarette Tax Hike

Maryland smokers already pay the eleventh highest cigarette taxes in the country, at $2 per pack; however, if lobbyists like Vincent DeMarco have their way, those taxes will increase by another dollar in 2013, vaulting Maryland to the sixth highest taxed state. Although Maryland raised its cigarette tax by $1 in 2008, DeMarco argued that additional increases would encourage smokers to quit, bring additional revenue to the state and save the state millions in tobacco-related healthcare costs.
"The good thing about tobacco increases is they achieve both goals," DeMarco told The Washington Times, estimating the proposed increase would bring in an additional $100 million in annual revenue. "It's really a win-win for the state, but we're doing this because it's a public health measure."

Supreme Court OKs $20-Million Smoker Award

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a $20 million award against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and a second cigarette maker, rebuffing the tobacco industry’s latest effort to derail thousands of Florida lawsuits, according to a Bloomberg report. The justices on Monday refused to hear a joint appeal from R.J. Reynolds producer of Camel cigarettes and Vector Group Ltd.’s Liggett unit. A jury said the two companies were responsible for the death of Janie Mae Clay, who smoked for 40 years and died in 2003 of lung disease.

The American Medical Association's financial relationship with Big Tobacco

A few decades ago, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) used to run advertisements for cigarettes. They even used headlines like, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." The ad says, "Doctors in every branch of medicine were asked: What cigarette do you smoke? The brand named most was Camel!" Which just goes to show you that "doctors in every branch of medicine" were complete health morons. (And not much has changed since then, I would argue.)

US Surgeon General lies by omission: Smoking one cigarette can kill you? Seriously?

In what can only be called a bizarre leap of pseudoscience, U.S. Surgeon General Dr Regina M. Benjamin recently announced that smoking one cigarette can kill you. In fact, she says, just breathing in the smoke from someone else's cigarette can kill you, she claims. It's all part of a just-released report entitled A Report of the Surgeon General: How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease: The Biology and Behavioral Basis for Smoking-Attributable Disease
