    For the majority of the twentieth century, Big Tobacco was invincible. The cigarette industry was a national, economic behemoth, and managed to escape almost every controversy it faced unscathed. With Congress on its side, the industry managed to filter out any liabilities. After the Labelling Act of 1965, companies were ‘forced’ to place warning labels on their packaging: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous To Your Health. These vague, flimsy words proved more potent than any armor against the onslaught of lawsuits that were to come (Brandt 255).…

    Tobacco-specific nitrosamines are relevant to both smoking and smokeless tobacco use but are of particular prominence in the use of smokeless tobacco because polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are generated by combustion and are therefore not implicated in smokeless tobacco carcinogenesis. These compounds are formed by the nitrosation of nicotine and its metabolites. The nature and amount of these compounds depends on the tobacco species, the growing conditions, the amount of fermentation and ageing, and how finely the tobacco is cut or powdered. Smokeless tobacco products, as with many cigarette brands, usually have an ingredient that increases the pH, to promote the availability of nicotine for absorption. Such agents include ammonia, ammonium…

    Epidemiology Of Smoking

    • 144 Words
    • 1 Pages

    Inhaling smoke or other substances irritates the bronchi and bronchioles and it causes chronic infection of the lungs. An effect caused by nicotine, for example, limits the normal protective mechanisms of the airways with partial paralysis of the cilia of the respiratory epithelium. As a result, mucus cannot easily be transported out of the passageways and excess mucus secretion also occurs, which exacerbates the condition. Inhibition of the alveolar macrophages also occurs, so they become less effective when fighting against infection.…

There were predictions at that time that the Tobacco companies would suffer greatly, as they had flourished on these types of marketing campaigns. It was a turning point for a lot of these companies that had to rethink business models due to the market shifting with these new laws.…
