Study Links Candy Cigarettes to Smoking

Candy cigarettes predispose children who play with them to smoke the real things later, new research concludes.

The look-alikes made of candy or gum are marketing and advertising tools that desensitize kids and open them moreso to the idea of smoking later on, says study leader Jonathan Klein of the University of Rochester. Candy cigarettes cannot be considered simply as candy, Klein said.
The findings, from a nationally representative sample of 25,887 U.S. adults who were surveyed online via a Harris Poll, are detailed in the July issue of the journal Preventive Medicine.
The study is the first to show a statistical link between a history with fake cigarettes and adult experiences with real smokes —22 percent of current or former smokers had also regularly consumed candy cigarettes, while only 14 percent of those who have never smoked had eaten or played with candy cigarettes often or very often.
“The continued existence of these products helps promote smoking as a culturally or socially acceptable activity,” Klein said, in a prepared statement.
Philip Morris USA had no comment specifically on the study, said spokesman Bill Phelps, but he noted that the company has a youth smoking prevention program that features brochures and materials on the company’s Web site to help parents talk to their kids about not smoking.
“We don’t want kids to smoke,” he said, “and we do not use fruit- or candy-flavor labels to market any of our tobacco products.”
World Candies, a leading maker of candy cigarettes, was contacted for comment, but did not provide any before this story was published.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The majority of smokers start before age 18, according to the
Department of Health and Human Services and other sources. The survey by Klein and colleagues showed that candy cigarette use is more common among females.
Candy cigarettes reportedly have been restricted or banned in Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, Norway, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, among other countries. Legislative bans also have been proposed in several U.S. states and in New York City over the years, but all these failed except in North Dakota where a ban stood from 1953 until it was repealed in 1967.
In the United States, candy cigarettes are typically sold next to bubble gum and trading cards, but some retailers refuse to sell them. For instance, Wal-Mart bans the sale of tobacco and tobacco look-alike products to minors in its stores nationwide
Hades you tosser, stop posting this irrelevant shit in every fucking thread.
Don’t you have some corm to locate? Bugger off. :evil:
you’re just jealous
At this point I don’t think anyone whatsoever is interested in hades or any of the boring shit that she posts, I just ignore it weasel.
indeed..
maybe hades needs his own thread all by himself so he can whack off in the corner alone like a spider monkey and congratulate himself.
Gawd, sounds like we need a gag command for criers now how pathetic. :roll:
Did Yiano post something lately? I miss his wise and funny posts.
Oh btw what does these blank lines on crier mean? :wink:
LMFAO!!!!
hahahahaha :twisted:
Whoa gag does work that was a quote of what Vix wrote.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.
Weasel, I’ve discovered that if you read any two of the hundred or so mindless articles Hades has posted you’ll quickly understand why nothing Hades posts has any value. If all you read was pointless tabloid garbage all day, you’d be just as useless as Hades.
not to mention in desperate need of a frontal lobotomy..
hey… i remember one day i was going to get a frontal lobotomy.
but then i
oh hmmm
hey!… i remember one day i was going to get a frontal lobotomy.
:twisted:
hehe :lol:
When you sports get done circle-jerking each other, there’s a quest going on.
Side note- Kinda harsh there 12345…… f’off :twisted:
Dear Hades,
If you start being a good little boy now, santa might bring you a clue on being humorous. But if you don’t, it’s back to being tea-bagged by Lucifer for all eternity.
Best Regards,
your father (who sold you for a dime)
You mis-spelled sphincter. Didn’t want to be anal-retentive about it. But on the whole,not hole, it was an uplifting post. I felt really relieved after reading
your thoughts.
Please don’t flame Hades. It just encourages him to continue littering the crier with worthless nonsense. Ignoring him is really the only solution.
Poor little Hades apparently can’t handle not being the center of attention now that pthieving is restricted, so it appears he’s doing this forum spamming instead. Pathetic, in a pitifully sad way.
Most menstrual cycles last 5-6 days. get off your ranting already. there are more important things to complain about.
:roll:

so you’re going to stop this spam soon then? teehee poke who’s an angry little spammer, hmm? poke awwww.
:twisted:
Am I the only one that gets a kick out of all this?
It makes me wanna puke.
Did Gargon ever contact him?? What happens next?
I junked all his eq.
mike… you bastard!
now how is he going to replace all that leather armor?
Taking a break from the abuse I’d just like to say that every day it seems the world gets a little crazier. I heard a news radio broadcast in which a woman
was attacked by a pitbull and had to taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
Ok… tragic news and a shame that it happen BUT.. in the same breath, I swear, the newscast went on to say that the pitbull was shot by a neighbor in the face and pronouced dead at the scene. WTF!!!!
? who cares
Spoken like a true jerk-off :evil:

way to go neighbor! for once someone isn’t standing by and just watching shit happen. i am glad someone has the balls to kill the fukcking dog instead of “let’s send it to the vet for observation”.
“wow j.p., that is a great outfit. how much do clothes cost in the matrix?”–alex –>grandma’s boy
Much easier to shoot it and have it checked for rabies than to observe it for however many days it takes. Props to the guy that shot the dog, Im not for shooting of dogs that don’t deserve it , but attacking (not just a bite) is warranted.
You did see the guy in florida that got attacked on his porch by a bobcat ?
it bit him and scratched him while he choked it to death, upon examination it was rabid.
Freaky to sit on your porch and get attacked tho.
Kinda like Irap.
Alias
Indeed.
at what point during the whole bobcat fandango before the lunging, biting etc do you think the guy said “you knocked over my beer” do you reckon?

Ingame someone was mistakenly pointing out that I disagreed with the killing of the dog. My point was, a pet is a pet. Not a human. Maybe I’m the only one but the ‘humanizing’ of animals is stupid. They, at times, have more rights than people. Someone famous, I forget who, once commented that in times of tragedy not unlike Hurricane Katrina, more people were concerned about adopting ’lost pets’ than giving aid to their fellow man. That’s f’d up.

if those “fellow men” would have gotten off their asses and left when told to instead of waiting for the government handouts to come and magic them away……those goddamned katrina “victims” got FEMA handouts and would spend it on $500 louis vuitton purses while their snotnosed pickaninny brats were standing there with holes in their clothes. those same “victims” were blatantly showing their faces to the news cams while they stole tv’s and other things knowing full well that there was not a damn thing the cops could or would do. and now those “refugees” are bringing their gangs and their crime to the cities they fled to. and when the city was opened again, those sponges who “wanted” jobs would not get off their cushy FEMA vouchers and go help rebuild their city. and there are people who are residents of the states the refugees fled to who needed jobs and apartments and could not get those jobs or apartments because they were being held for “katrina victims”. victims my ass. there were over 2000 school buses that wound up underwater because no one would go get them (break into a shack or something) and load up people and get them out. i don’t wanna hear “poor victims” any longer. they made their bed - now they can sleep in it. the humans had knowledge to leave. fukck the goddam ned pets….those are replaceable. humans, otoh are not. stepping off soapbox to await the inevitable flaming

everyone is expendable in the grand arcane scheme.
beware the oncoming storm.

please insert this comment after fb’s katrina rant
Nods like it said in the bible:
“Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Give him a fish, thanks F$%&er you just created welfare.”
Resouh
It’s dangerous to generalize some attributes to a large set of people. There’s only a part of the refugees who abused the FEMA awards. There are also some portion of the refugees who are already back trying to rebuild their communities. Maybe we should judge everyone affected by Katrina as if they are a member of that second group, instead of the first? It makes just as much sense - which would be very little. In the end, you’re insulting a lot of people who don’t deserve your scorn.
Charles
all of them, however, voluntarily moved to/stayed living in a coastal basin area that is below sea level.
that’s like crying when you get snowed on in Colorado, or earthquakes hit in California.
Yeah your’e right FB. Oh, And sometimes you wish you could resu people in real life. F’n Chris Benoit.. hope f’ker chokes for eternity.
Once again off the subject but wtf.. i’m drunk

agreed….it is bad to generalize. sometimes it is hard NOT to, but when i (and several other ppl i know irl) have been denied jobs and been disallowed to even fill out an app to try to get an apartment because i did not have a frikkin FEMA voucher, because i actually WANT to WORK for my money instead of having the taxpayers pay for it, it tends to be a kick in the teeth. when i see people come into the store where i work wearing gold chains, brand new designer clothes, gucci purses and pay for their groceries with a fukking food stamps card it tends to chap my ass a bit. when it gets thrown in my face every single day that the money and taxes i work hard for goes to someone who WON’T work, who continues to get pregnant and squeeze out kid after kid just to keep getting more and more welfare…..well, it tends to make me just a wee bit bitter! not only that, but they live in an apartment and pay only $8 a month rent (not an exaggeration) while i cannot afford to pay full price because i choose to work for a living. mumblegrumble stalks off to smoke another bowl

sweet. you’re a fuc king sore on the cock of sloth.
Me and 13’s mom had a great time. She footed the bill and I saved alot of money. Unfortunately, I had to bow out on the caning that took place. I would have gladly offered to take her place but I had to jet back to the states. She’s mad now and obvious very sore, but I’m sure I can make it up to her. I understand, yet again, I missed out on another area opener. Looking forward to using an alternate alt and exploring it in whosever leading it over next few weeks. Glad to be back and looking forward to grouping with you real soon.
Ta-ta
:twisted:
Hades, is there any part of you that isn’t fake? Seriously. Your post is a joke. You have to follow someone else to explore an area. Grow a backbone. Try to do something that actually takes talent instead of sitting on the crier blowing hot air about stuff you don’t know anything about.
I’ll deal with you later butt-munch. Sheesh.. just wanted to say hi and I get attacked. I have a good mind to log on later and hunt your punk arse down. You, my friend, are on my sh*t list.
:x
fvck off you clown
C’mon Weasel…venting on me because of bash lag is poor taste. Form a group already, I need to dust the cobwebs off.

Oh goodie. And what does that mean exactly?
One day, you people may wise up. Until then, thanks for the laughs.
