HOW IS NICOTINE ..… “ADDICTIVE ?”
Nicotine causes artificial stimulation of
production of hormones associated with
pleasure, stimulation, etc. The brain attempts
to compensate for artificial stimulation by
downregulating natural stimulation of
production of such hormones. This causes
withdrawal symptoms of anxiety, fatigue,
decreased concentration, and heightened
sensitivity to pain, and contributes to: high
relapse rates!
FDA & INFORMED CONSENT
The FDA has REQUIRED the disclosure of health-sensitive
information on packages of foods and drugs since
1994, including caloric content, sugar content, fat
content, alcohol proof, etc.
The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) provides
FDA with specific authority to REQUIRE nutrition labeling of most
foods regulated by the Agency; and to REQUIRE that all nutrient
content claims (i.e., 'high fiber', 'low fat', etc.) and health claims be
consistent with agency regulations.
Reference:
www.fda.gov/ICECI/Inspections/InspectionGuides/ucm074948.htm#GUIDE
INFORMED CONSENT: “THE BASICS”
Competent (Ability to Reasonably Weigh Risks / Benefits)
Information Provided: Facts & Data
Voluntary Basis (Not Coerced nor mislead nor deceived)
Are Cigarette Consumers purchasing with FULL INFORMED
CONSENT ??
You be the judge.
LOUISIANA STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY 2011 ASSEMBLY
Excerpts from Resolution 202 introduced by LSMS 2011 assembly:
“Whereas, nicotine is addictive; and whereas,
current cigarette packaging labeling
(surprisingly) does not disclose the “Nicotine
Content per Cigarette” despite efforts to
encourage such; and…
the omission of “Nicotine Content per Cigarette”
on cigarette packaging
1) undermines consumer informed consent; and
2)misinforms, misleads, and possibly deceives
the consumer;…”
FAMILY SMOKING PREVENTION &
TOBACCO CONTROL ACT (2009) / OBAMA ADMIN
Current law states that “ The Secretary
shall…determine whether cigarette and other
tobacco product manufacturers SHALL BE
REQUIRED to include in the area of each
cigarette advertisement specified by subsection
(b) of this section, OR on the PACKAGE LABEL,
OR BOTH, the Tar and NICOTINE yields of the
advertised or packaged brand.”
