Smoking Cessation: Next Steps for Special Populations Research and Innovative Treatments
have reached an asymptote in the United States. The current
smoking prevalence among U.S. adults in 2006 (20.8%) is not
significantly different from that in 2004 (20.9%; Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2007a). The Healthy People 2010
goal of reaching 12% smoking prevalence is now unattainable.
Decreasing the prevalence of smoking will take a multitarget,
multichannel, multimethod approach at different levels of social
strata: individuals (i.e., address smoker heterogeneity, develop
innovative treatments), groups (i.e., target populations with higher
than average smoking prevalence; eradicate disparities in treatment
access, engagement, and effectiveness), cultural/societal
level (i.e., increase frequency and effectiveness of mass media
campaigns, create greater consumer demand for evidenced-based
treatments [EBTs]), health care systems and insurers (i.e., increase
counseling and reimbursement, reduce out-of-pocket costs to
smokers who want to quit), and government (i.e., increase taxation,
expand smoke-free laws, increase funding of state quit lines).
Although all of these factors are critical to jump-starting stalled
smoking cessation rates, in January 2009 the Journal of Consulting
and Clinical Psychology initiated a call for papers focusing on the
first two areas: innovative treatment approaches for smoking cessation
and testing smoking cessation interventions in understudied
or underserved populations. Manuscripts on innovative treatments
could include, but were not limited to, behavioral therapy,
cognitive– behavioral therapy, combined pharmacological and behavioral
therapies, and theory-based therapies that have been
tested in other fields but have not yet been applied to smoking
cessation. Manuscripts focusing on understudied populations
could include, but were not limited to, targeting different cultures,
ethnicities, ages, and medical and psychiatric comorbidities. A
preference was given to articles with a clearly articulated theoretical
foundation and clinical implications.

Tobacco use by Veterans
veterans. In 2005, 32% of active-duty military personnel and 22% of all veterans smoked, compared with just over 20% of the US adult population. The prevalence of smoking is over 50% higher in military personnel who have been deployed than in those who have not. In addition, an alarmingly high number of service members use smokeless tobacco. Because tobacco use is greatest among the youngest service members, the health effects will be greatest
among older veterans as the population ages. Thus, reducing the number of tobacco users in the military will reduce the number of veterans with tobacco-related health problems.

Public subsidies for motion picture production
Since 1998, when Canadian subsidies began to lure film and TV production from California and New York to Vancouver and Toronto, America’s motion picture industry has taken advantage of growing competition among states and nations offering ever‐larger production “incentives.” Studios now balance offers from North
America and Europe. As a result, for the last decade, about one‐third of feature film projects developed by US studios are shot outside the United States.1
In recent years, states have also started bidding for film production. By 2009, 41 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico offered a total of $1.4 billion in tax credits and cash rebates on film production spending. Fifty‐eight percent (24/41) of these states launched a new subsidy program or boosted the subsidy awards of an older program since 2008

toward one another and engage in light-hearted conversation while guarding a store’s
entrance. While stopped at a light, Ellen inhales a deep and relaxing puff in the car...

Smoke helps me concentrate
improve concentration. Although nicotine is undeniably a stimulant that stimulates fight or
flight pathways and excites certain brain regions, it is also a super toxin, vasoconstrictor,
and promotes hardening of the arteries through angiogenesis. We probably won't worry
about concentration if chronic nicotine use destroys too much brain gray matter or causes a
stroke. Fresh air and exercise are far healthier brain stimulants.

R.J. Reynolds’ Tobacco Company
around since 1874. Prior to its 2004 merger with Brown and Williamson, its cigarette
brands included Camel, Doral, Eclipse, Monarch, More, Now, Salem, Vantage and Winston.
While RJR cigarette store marketing screams suggestions that smokers smoke its brands for
a host of reasons (flavor, pleasure, adventure, price, to be true, make new friends, have fun,
great menthol, or to look more adult), its once secret documents tell a different story.
A nine page 1972 confidential memo by a senior RJR executive is entitled “The Nature of
the Tobacco Business and the Crucial Role of Nicotine Therein.”

Nicotine Addiction
Although some took to smoking like fish to water, what most recall is how utterly horrible
it tasted.
You may have felt dizzy, nauseous or if like me, your face turned six shades of green. Your
mouth may have been filled with a terrible taste with your throat on fire and lungs in full
rebellion, as scores of powerful toxins assaulted, inflamed and numbed all tissues they
touched.

Collection of Fines Tobacco
from provisions that would allow the Secretary of HHS to levy fines against sponsors of
misbranded and adulterated tobacco products, sellers of tobacco to underage individuals,
and for other violations. The FTC would also be authorized to assess fines for certain
violations of tobacco-related requirements enforced by the commission. We estimate that
revenues associated with the collection of civil fines authorized under S. 982 would be
roughly $1 million annually.

Cedric Kushner case—United States
Defendants say that the government cites only one post–Cedric
Kushner case—United States —that upheld an association-in-fact enterprise of corporations.
The relevance of this is hard to grasp, as other
post–Cedric Kushner cases not cited by the government accept
association-in-fact enterprises comprised of corporations.

Philip Morris cigarettes sold
and the company has notified the U.S. Customs service that it has not
given permission for anyone to use its trademarks on imports, he said.
The only legal remedy for Philip Morris is to sue for trademark
infringement, false advertising and unfair competition. Only the states
and federal government can sue for the lost tax revenue, McCormick
said. The Web sites fail to ensure the cigarettes aren't sold to
children and don't pay taxes, falsely claiming their products are
tax-exempt, Philip Morris said.
