Among the justices whose views could be discerned, a majority appeared to favor the government's arguments over those of the colleges. The case, Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (No. 04-1152), pits the Defense Department against a coalition of 38 law schools and law-school faculties in a fight over the constitutionality of a decade-old law that allows the federal government to withhold funds — millions of dollars, in some cases — from colleges that limit military recruiting. The Defense Department argues that recruiting restrictions hamper its ability to bring talented lawyers into the Judge Advocate General's Corps, which handles legal affairs for the military. But the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, or FAIR, says that the law, known as the Solomon amendment, infringes on their First Amendment rights by forcing them to "disseminate, carry, and host" the military's message and associate with an employer whose policy on hiring gay men and lesbians conflicts with their own antidiscrimination policies. During oral arguments last week, E. Joshua Rosenkranz, a lawyer for FAIR, said that the law imposed unconstitutional conditions on the receipt of federal funds by forcing law schools to choose between their university's aid and their constitutional rights. He added that the military had failed to provide "even a shred" of evidence that it needed equal access to recruit effectively. "The government is demanding absolute parity, without regard to whether the military actually needs it," he said. Paul D. Clement, the Justice Department's solicitor general, countered that the amendment's "equal access" requirement was a perfectly ordinary contractual condition, no different than the strings routinely attached to gifts and bequests. He noted that law schools remain free to criticize the military's policies and can even bar recruiters if they are willing to forgo federal funds. That argument appeared to resonate with several of the justices, including the new chief justice, John G. Roberts Jr. When Mr. Rosenkranz suggested that the amendment had compromised law schools' credibility on nondiscrimination, Chief Justice Roberts said that the reason students "don't believe you is because you're willing to take the money." "What you're saying is that here is a message we believe in strongly, but we don't believe in it enough to give up $100-million," he said. Mr. Rosenkranz replied that, under the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions, "you cannot put a speaker to that crisis of conscience." Speech or Conduct? Much of the discussion last week centered on the question of whether colleges' bans on military recruiting constituted speech or conduct. That distinction is critical. If the court views the bans as speech, as FAIR argues, then the Defense Department will have to prove that the law serves a "compelling government interest" and is as narrowly tailored as possible. If it views the bans as "expressive conduct" — that is, conduct with elements of speech — then the Pentagon must prove only that its recruiting would be less effective without the law. Again, the justices appeared more sympathetic to the military's position. Two of them — Antonin Scalia and Anthony M. Kennedy — suggested that the act of denying access did not become speech simply because a law school announces in advance the motive for its actions. Chief Justice Roberts was unequivocal: "This is conduct," he said. Justice David Souter disagreed, saying the law appeared to be directed at speech, not conduct. "If we're going to address the Solomon amendment," he said, "we're addressing exclusively a First Amendment speech issue." The Defense Department appealed the case to the Supreme Court last winter, after a federal appeals court in Philadelphia ruled in favor of FAIR, finding that the military had failed to show that its recruiting needs justified the intrusion on law schools' First Amendment rights (The Chronicle, December 10, 2004). The decision reversed a 2003 opinion by a federal judge who said that law schools were unlikely to prevail at trial. Dozens of groups have filed briefs in the case. In its brief supporting the law schools, the American Association of University Professors argued that the Solomon amendment interfered with academic self-governance. It said it worried that a Defense Department victory would further undermine academic freedom, compromising colleges' ability to govern themselves as they see fit. The case has also attracted the attention of Congress, which passed the Solomon amendment in 1994 and has expanded its reach several times since then. Some lawmakers fear that if the Solomon amendment is struck down, Congress could lose its ability to attach conditions to federal funds, the sacred "power of the purse." One of the amendment's original sponsors, Rep. Richard Pombo, a Republican from California, filed a brief supporting the Pentagon's position through the Mountain States Legal Foundation. A Special Exemption Meanwhile, a group of Harvard professors filed a brief arguing that the law, as written, applies "only to policies that single out military recruiters for special disfavored treatment, not evenhanded policies that incidentally affect the military." The brief says the government is demanding more than equity — it is demanding a special exemption from colleges' antidiscrimination policies. The justices briefly considered that argument last week, asking Mr. Clement whether the law schools are not simply providing the recruiters with the same access they would provide any employer that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. Mr. Clement acknowledged that the military was requesting "access under circumstances that perhaps some other recruiter would be denied." However, he argued that "the military is not like any other employer" because its policy is "the result of a Congressional mandate." There are limits, however, to the law professors' "statutory argument," legal analysts said. If the Supreme Court were to strike down the Solomon amendment on the grounds that the military had misread and misapplied the law, Congress could simply pass the law again, clarifying its intent. For that reason, the court is "unlikely to punt" on the statutory argument, said Carter G. Phillips, a former assistant to the solicitor general, at a recent forum at Georgetown University's law school. "They won't go down that hill to come back up again," he predicted. The court is expected to rule on the case by the end of its current term, in July. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has announced her retirement as soon as a successor is confirmed, took part in the arguments, but she may be replaced before the case is decided. If she is, the court is likely to hold the case over for reargument after her successor is seated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://chronicle.com Section: Government & Politics Volume 52, Issue 17, Page A24 From - Wed Dec 14 09:56:46 2005 X-UIDL: 1117870328.15228 X-Mozilla-Status: 0009 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-Path: Received: from velma (h-67-100-185-98.mclnva23.covad.net [67.100.185.98]) by ash.org (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id jBDNaDSo020372 for ; Tue, 13 Dec 2005 18:36:17 -0500 Message-Id: <200512132336.jBDNaDSo020372@ash.org> Reply-To: From: "velma dessuit" To: Subject: FW: Online Banking Enrollment Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 17:38:31 -0500 Organization: Action on Smoking and Health MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0065_01C6000C.093391E0" X-Priority: 1 (Highest) X-MSMail-Priority: High X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 Thread-Index: AcYAPankQhyfLubKQaqAJISAKRbeMAAB78Eg Importance: High Status: O X-UID: 15228 Content-Length: 2722 X-Keywords: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0065_01C6000C.093391E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit _____ From: christopher.bayne@wachovia.com [mailto:christopher.bayne@wachovia.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 5:35 PM To: vd@ash.org Subject: Online Banking Enrollment To Action on Smoking and Health, This memo is in regards to your recent online enrollment for Wachovia.

RE: Getting to Open Campuses
"High Court Seems Supportive of Military Recruiting on Campus" [1= 2/7]

Although I had sought legal action against the Solomon Amendment, I
think the attorney attacking it lost his case when he told the Supreme
Court that, under his legal theory, a university could bar military
recruiters over any disagreement of policy, or, as one justice put, even ³exclude anybody in a uniform from a cafeteria."

The many reasons for excluding the military could include disapproval of governmental positions over gays or women in the military, concern that
the war in Iraq or in Afghanistan is wrong, or even a generalized pacifism.=

If this position prevails, it would significantly interfere with
Congress¹ constitutional authority to raise an army ­ an area wher= e the
Supreme Court has always given the government the greatest deference.

RJR Stoops to New Low With Camel Ad Campaign
Three Attorneys General demand immediate end to campaign
 
A new advertising campaign for Camel cigarettes, the second-most smoked cigarette brand among teens, has raised the ire of three state Attorneys General.  
 
As part of the campaign, R.J. Reynolds mails an envelope to individuals on their birthday which reads: "Camel - It's your Birthday. Drinks on us."  Inside the envelope are six different drink coasters, each with a recipe for mixed drinks with high alcohol content and tag lines that promote excessive and irresponsible drinking such as, "LAYER IT ON.  GO ‘TIL DAYBREAK," "MIX THREE SHOTS TOGETHER OVER ICE, THEN MAKE SURE YOU'RE SITTIN'," and "POUR OVER ICE, THEN LET IT BURN."  One recipe calls for 5 shots of rum and a can of frozen lemonade, blended and poured in one tall glass. "Kiss Your Worries Goodbye."
 
In a letter to R.J. Reynolds, New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer demand an immediate end to the campaign.
 
"This promotion is a complete abomination," said Attorney General Spitzer. "Virtually every parent in America knows what it is like to anxiously wait for a child to come home from a night out with friends, worrying that someone will be drinking and driving. Now R.J. Reynolds - apparently not satisfied just selling its own deadly products - is encouraging individuals to 'celebrate' their birthdays by abusing alcohol. It is just shameful."

If anyone needed further evidence that R.J.Reynolds has not changed, this latest marketing campaign should provide proof," said Matthew Myers, President of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids.

"Binge drinking is a major public health issue nationwide, especially on college campuses, which makes this campaign even more appalling," said J. Edward Hill, President of the American Medical Association. "Research shows the adverse health impacts of smoking and alcohol are increased when these two addictive products are used together."

Attorneys General Spitzer, Lockyer and Curran initially wrote to Reynolds in November, demanding that the company discontinue the program because of the grave public health concerns raised by this promotion of excessive drinking, particularly among young adults. The Attorneys General's letter also referred to significant scientific research showing that the combined use of cigarettes and alcohol presents health risks over and above the risks posed by smoking alone.

The drink coasters specifically mention well-known brands of alcohols, including Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, Finlandia Vodka, Kahlua, Bacardi Limon, and Baileys. The Attorneys General therefore also wrote to the four major distillers who produce those products, to determine whether they were participating in the advertising campaign.

All four distillers indicated that they previously were not aware of the promotion. Moreover, the distillers noted that the promotion would violate the alcohol industry's advertising code, which specifically prohibits marketing practices that encourage excessive drinking, promote the intoxicating effects of alcohol consumption, or urge individuals to drink as a rite of passage into adulthood. The distillers have all written to Reynolds, asserting that Reynolds has violated their trademark rights and demanding that Reynolds "cease and desist" the promotional campaign, or face potential litigation. Reynolds has refused those requests.

Spitzer, Lockyer and Curran therefore wrote to Reynolds again today, expressing their outrage and disappointment with Reynolds' refusal to discontinue this irresponsible promotion. The letter states that Reynolds "is promoting unsafe alcohol consumption" and asserts that Reynolds' "disregard for public health as demonstrated in this marketing campaign is unconscionable."

That is a wonderful opportunity, and we hope to do it, but two things that are known now may alter the schedule or scrub the trip: 1) weather - we just had a foot of snow Friday - following two other storms. This has been an unprecedented fall, and with 14 hours of RT driving, nasty weather might be a deterrent. We'll call soon to discuss when/how? 2) Could you send your street address? We seem not to be able to find your new home address. Thanks. 3) my move - after 28.5 years in one office, on Jan. 11 movers will come and take "N" boxes from my present office to my new office, across campus. For a variety of reasons, I've barely begun tossing old crap/donating books to the library, deciding what to move and what to take home, etc. Classes end this coming Tuesday, then final exams, and then I can focus exclusively on packing. Worst case: I'd have to hang around to make sure the job gets done. This is unlikely, but if many things go wrong in the next few weeks, it might happen. YOUR PHONE NUMBERS: Thanks, got 'em, put in PDA et al. EMAIL: Thanks for all the aliases. At this point, I use BANZHAF@HARTFORD.EDU, and Mattie uses BANZ@HARTFORD.EDU These should persist after I retire, as I'm very likely to be granted emeritus status, which gives me e-mail and several other things in perpetuity. Thus far, there's been no need to use any of the BANZHAF.NET addresses. FYI - we both use IMAP mode, not POP mode, so the U of Hartford server is our repository for e-mail. That way we can leave some messages on the UH server, and access them from anywhere - very convenient for us both. ADVICE ABOUT LAW CAREERS: Our good friends Pat and Phil have their youngest of three sons in his second year of law school. I believe he's interested in how to use the law for good things, helping society, etc. as opposed to becoming a corporate attorney or ambulance chaser. Thanks for the offer - we'll see that he gets your office number. I hope we get to see you both soon (Mattie must do her church music on late on Sat. Dec. 24, so conceiveably we could leave CT as soon as early Sunday 12/25. Perhaps driving to DC on Christmas day will find the roads not too crowded? Again, it's weather dependent.

Banzhaf To: Prof. John Banzhaf of GWU and ASH CC: banzhaf@hartford.edu, "Mattie Banzhaf" References: <439B0AD7.8060604@ash.org> Hi John, CT BANZHAFS VISIT VA BANZHAFS: Thanks for the response, and the invite to D.C. over our winter break. That is a wonderful opportunity, and we hope to do it, but two things that are known now may alter the schedule or scrub the trip: 1) weather - we just had a foot of snow Friday - following two other storms. This has been an unprecedented fall, and with 14 hours of RT driving, nasty weather might be a deterrent. We'll call soon to discuss when/how? 2) Could you send your street address? We seem not to be able to find your new home address. Thanks. 3) my move - after 28.5 years in one office, on Jan. 11 movers will come and take "N" boxes from my present office to my new office, across campus. For a variety of reasons, I've barely begun tossing old crap/donating books to the library, deciding what to move and what to take home, etc. Classes end this coming Tuesday, then final exams, and then I can focus exclusively on packing. Worst case: I'd have to hang around to make sure the job gets done. This is unlikely, but if many things go wrong in the next few weeks, it might happen. YOUR PHONE NUMBERS: Thanks, got 'em, put in PDA et al. EMAIL: Thanks for all the aliases. At this point, I use BANZHAF@HARTFORD.EDU, and Mattie uses BANZ@HARTFORD.EDU These should persist after I retire, as I'm very likely to be granted emeritus status, which gives me e-mail and several other things in perpetuity. Thus far, there's been no need to use any of the BANZHAF.NET addresses. FYI - we both use IMAP mode, not POP mode, so the U of Hartford server is our repository for e-mail. That way we can leave some messages on the UH server, and access them from anywhere - very convenient for us both. ADVICE ABOUT LAW CAREERS: Our good friends Pat and Phil have their youngest of three sons in his second year of law school. I believe he's interested in how to use the law for good things, helping society, etc. as opposed to becoming a corporate attorney or ambulance chaser. Thanks for the offer - we'll see that he gets your office number. I hope we get to see you both soon (Mattie must do her church music on late on Sat. Dec. 24, so conceiveably we could leave CT as soon as early Sunday 12/25. Perhaps driving to DC on Christmas day will find the roads not too crowded? Again, it's weather dependent.

    Dear Mr. GotRocks:

    As Chairman of the Board of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), I am writing this  letter to our very top donors to ask you to join us in taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impact smoking worldwide.

    This February the World Health Organization will host a “Conference of the Parties” [Conference] to start implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control [FCTC], the world's first antismoking and nonsmokers’ rights treaty. This treaty has already been ratified by 115 countries and is now legally in force.

    This Conference will be crucial. Although the treaty sets strict conditions on smoking in public places, cigarette advertising and promotion, taxes and warnings, etc., tough and effective implementation is the key to reaching these goals. If such measures are not adopted at this crucial conference, the treaty may never be fully implemented. More than a dozen countries have already gone virtually smokefree, 18 have banned cigarette advertising on radio and most print media, and many are now requiring strong effective graphic health warnings. This is only the beginning of the progress which can be made if we can persuade the Conference to adopt effective enforcement measures.

    Big Tobacco and several major cigarette-exporting countries will do their worst at the Conference to emasculate the treaty. It is crucial that delegates from as many countries as possible –  including many from the developing world –  attend the Conference and take part. To help assure this, ASH is hoping to sponsor about 50 delegates from these developing countries so they can participate. By booking air travel early and staying at the least expensive hotels in Geneva, ASH believes that we can cover the out-of-pocket expenses of delegates to this two-week conference for only $2,500 each. ASH’s Board is already committed to sponsoring at least 20 delegates. More would be much better. We are asking each of our major donors to agree to sponsor at least one delegate for $2,500.

    If you are willing to join our Board members in playing a crucial role in the war on smoking, please send your check [made out to ASH and marked "CONF"] for $2,500, or more if you possibly can. Every cent of these special contributions will go to sponsoring delegates and supporting their work at the Conference. If you have any questions, please call ASH’s Executive Director, Prof. John F. Banzhaf III at 202-659-4310.  Thank you and happy holidays.

    Yours truly,


    Martin Adam Jacobs, Chairman

    FCTC Conference letter: Martin's Own REVISED Version, followed by original John-version

    Hi John,

    Below is my revised version of the letter, the changes appearing in BOLDFACE.
    The most substantive change is the "Every cent ..." in the last paragraph.
    The rest are translations from John-speak to Martin-speak.

    I still want to discuss this letter and the conference with you before I approve
    sending the revised over my signature.

    I will be in and out of my office until about 4:15 PM today, some of which time is reserved
    for rigid appointments and meetings. I'll be home after about 7:30 PM tonight.

    Dear Mr. GotRocks:

    As Chairman of the Board of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), I am
    writing this extraordinary letter to our very top donors to ask you to
    join us in taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime
    chance to impact smoking worldwide.

    This February the World Health Organization will host a “Conference of
    the Parties” [Conference] to start implementation of the Framework
    Convention on Tobacco Control [FCTC], the world's first antismoking and

    countries and is now legally in force.

    This Conference will be crucial. Although the treaty sets
    strict conditions on smoking in public places, cigarette
    advertising and promotion, taxes and warnings, etc., tough and effective
    implementation is the key to reaching these goals. If such measures are
    not adopted at this crucial conference, the treaty may never be fully
    effective  -- we may even lose gains we have already made. More
    than a dozen countries have already gone virtually smokefree, 18 have
    banned cigarette advertising on radio and most print media, and many are
    now requiring strong effective graphic health warnings. This is only
    the beginning of the progress which can be made if we can persuade the
    Conference to adopt effective enforcement measures.

     Big Tobacco and several major cigarette-exporting countries will
    do their worst at the Conference to emasculate the treaty. It is crucial that delegates from as
    many countries as possible - including many from the developing world -
    attend the Conference and take part. To help assure this, ASH is hoping to

    Every cent of these special contributions will go to sponsoring delegates and supporting their work at the
    Confrerence. If you have any questions, please call ASH’s Executive Director, Prof. John F.
    Banzhaf III at 202-659-4310. Thank you and happy holidays.

    As Chairman of the Board of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), I am
    writing this extraordinary letter to our very top donors to ask them to
    join with our Board in taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime
    opportunity to have an unprecedented impact on smoking worldwide as well
    as domestically.

    This February the World Health Organization will host a “Conference of
    the Parties” [CoP] to plan and begin the implementation of the Framework
    Convention on Tobacco Control [FCTC], the first world antismoking and
    nonsmokers’ rights treaty. This treaty has already been ratified by 115
    countries.

    This CoP conference will be crucial since, although the treaty imposes
    some strict conditions on smoking in public places, cigarette
    advertising and promotion, taxes and warnings, etc., tough and effective
    implementation is the key to achieving these goal. If such measures are
    not adopted at this crucial conference, the treaty may never be fully
    effective, and we may even lose some gains we have already made. More
    than a dozen countries have already gone virtually smokefree, 18 have
    banned cigarette advertising on radio and most print media, and many are
    now requiring strong effective graphic health warnings. But this is only
    the beginning of the progress which can be made if we can persuade the
    CoP to adopt effective enforcement measures.

    Since big tobacco and several major cigarette exporting countries will
    be trying to emasculate the treaty, it is crucial that delegates from as
    many countries as possible - including many from the developing world -
    attend and participate. To help accomplish this, ASH is hoping to
    sponsor about 50 delegates from these developing countries to permit
    them to attend and participate. By booking air travel early and staying
    at the least expensive hotels in Geneva, ASH believes that we can cover
    the out-of-pocket expenses of delegates to this two week conference for
    about $2,500 a person. ASH’s Board has already committed itself to
    sponsoring at least 20 delegates - we are asking each of our major
    donors to agree to sponsor at least one - for $2,500.

    If you are willing to join with our Board members in playing a crucial
    role in the history of the war on smoking, please send your check [made
    out to ASH] for $2,500, or more if you can possibly afford it. If you
    have any questions, please call ASH’s Executive Director, Prof. John F.
    Banzhaf III. Thank you and happy holidays.

    Yours truly,



    Martin Adam Jacobs, Chairman

If a mail system is on their "bad" list - they refuse the message. Ours is on the list, supposedly because our Barracuda Spam Firewall sent back a non-delivery message to someone who never sent us a message (due to spoofed spam), and they reported us and got us blacklisted. It may not be mere coincidence that spamcop.net is owned by Ironport Systems, a prime competitor to Barracuda Networks (our antispam appliance vendor). Barracuda recommends letting people know when their mail has been blocked due to spaminess so that they know their message did not go through (which I also think is a good idea, warts/risks and all). Spamcop.net claims that this is a sin and demands that we turn that feature off in order to be "delisted," and that senders not be informed if their messages get blocked by the spam firewall in order to prevent others from being victimized by bogus non-delivery reports. I have turned off notifications on the Barracuda, as they demand, against Barracuda's recommendation, and my philosophy, and have attempted to get delisted immediately following spamcop.net's directions, but their system does not seem to be working. Only thing we can do is recommend to jbanzhaf@ash.org that he ask his email system admin to reconsider the use of spamcop.net. RBL operators such as spamcop.net seem to get religious/self-righteous about their opinions about how everybody else should handle spam, and cause email systems that use them to rejects lots of valid mail wholesale, regardless of its content -- pretty stupid, in my opinion since it is rare that a mail system actually sends spam -- it's usually millions of compromised PCs all over the world doing it.... -dk ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.

Here are some responses: 1. Yes, many if not most of the current SCLA volleyballs are too hard, so players arms can be hurt when they bump/return a hard spike or even a hard serve. In some cases, even spiking a hard ball can be painful. Balls ordinarily get harder as they get old and wear out -- this could be one of the causes. 2. Your letter did not seem to have an attachment, so I went to the Internet web site of the Sports Authority and looked at their volleyballs. http://www.sportsauthority.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=711661&kw=volle yball 3. Young people, women, and middle-level players tend to favor softer balls since they hurt less but still provide a good game. High level male players tend to favor a harder ball because they can hit it harder and faster, and because it's not "manly" to complain about pain. 4. Most of our players favor multicolored balls since they are easier to follow in the air and to note their rotation. Sports Authority seems to have two. 5. The Molton Ultra Soft VB Lite Youth is a regulation size ball which is softer and lighter, and therefore likely to be preferred by women and by many men. It is also on sale at $10 off the regular price. I would suggest getting several. 6. For those who might insist upon a harder ball, you can also get a few Molton Pro V5000 Official Composite Indoor Volleyballs at $49.99. 7. I would suggest initially buying only a few of each kind. We can then see what the reaction is. If most players prefer one ball over the other, they you can always get a few more of that kind. 8. I'm glad to learn that the new GM will be reconsidering various proposals. Without setting them out in detail again, let me summarize just a few: 8A. listing volleyball on the official schedule which is handed out to the members and appears on the web site 8B. posting flyers from time to time at the Club telling people about volleyball and when it is scheduled 8C. moving volleyball to the court with a glass wall so more people will see it and we can again get more walk-ins 8D. having occasional college-level tournaments for the members to observe and enjoy -- somewhat like with squash 8E. once-a-month volleyball training and playing sessions for the older kids on Sundays -- perhaps with/against their parents 8F. once-a-month coed singles-competiton night including volleyball, basketball, and other fun team activities to help singles meet and play together 8G. possibly organizing volleyball competitions between law firm teams, teams from major electronic and print media, congressional staff, etc. 8H. establish a formal or informal web site to help members schedule playing times, compare notes, get up-to-date info, etc. 9. I have several students in mind who might make good volleyball assistants, organizers, etc. I will begin to send them your way once the Spring 2006 term begins. 10. Once you've had an initial meeting with the new GM, I would like to meet with the new GM and you to discuss at least some of these ideas. As you may recall, I did meet on several occasions with one of the earlier GMs, and I think it went well. Sometimes, three heads can be better than two, and I might be able to help explain and flesh out some of the suggestions. However, this is only a suggestion, and entirely up to you. As you know, I have been out of commission for the past two months with a volleyball injury. However, I hope to be back at least on a limited basis with the beginning of the Spring term. I think that might be a good time for us to talk over some of these ideas before you discuss them with the new GM. However, if you'd like to meet with me before then, please give me a ring or send an email. I will be around over the holidays. So, if I don't communicate again with you before, let me wish you a very merry Christmas and holiday season, and a healthy and prosperous new year. Tony McElroy wrote: > Hello and Happy Holidays!

Forcing businesses to hire smokers forces nonsmoking employees to bear the enormous costs of smokers’ additional medical care, earlier disability, extra time lost from work, etc. which is grossly unfair. That’s why the governmental interference in hiring/promotion decisions is usually restricted to immutable characteristics which do not adversely affect the company – like race, national origin, and gender – and not on matters of choice which clearly do have a major financial impact on any employer.

That could depend on whether you're a man or a woman. For guys, a slimmer silhouette or baggier pants might be enough to inspire a "yes." Women, on the other hand, like harder proof their workouts are working. They feel better when they can to lift heavier bags of groceries or do more leg presses, according to a new study. This latest men-are-from-Mars-women-from-Venus news comes from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, where researchers looked at gender differences when it comes to body image. Researchers put 25 men and 16 women through a 12-week strength-training program. Participants were asked about their body image before and after, and were also given objective tests, such as bicep curls and body fat measurements. Body images improved for both men and women, but the reasons were different between the sexes. Men tended to cite criteria like feeling thinner or stronger. That was important to women too, but they also were into numbers, such as measurements showing stronger arms and legs, according to the study being published in the journal Body Image. Author Kathleen Martin Ginis, associate professor of kinesiology at McMaster, said that while women often focus on appearance, this study suggests that they can also get a boost in self-esteem by focusing on their strength. "For men, the absolute amount of weight they can lift may not be as important," she said, "as long as it's more than the guy next to him at the gym can lift." Christy Greenleaf, an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of North Texas who was not involved in the study, said she was not surprised that women were interested in gauging their gains. "They may be less familiar with how strong they are," she said. * __ On the Net: McMaster University: http://www.mcmaster.ca/ Body Image: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/672932/descript ion description From - Wed Dec 14 14:46:36 2005 X-UIDL: 1117870328.15322 X-Mozilla-Status: 0009 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-Path: Received: from velma (h-67-100-185-98.mclnva23.covad.net [67.100.185.98]) by ash.org (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id jBEKcbMK004009 for ; Wed, 14 Dec 2005 15:38:41 -0500 Message-Id: <200512142038.jBEKcbMK004009@ash.org> Reply-To: From: "velma dessuit" To: Subject: ash review Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 14:40:53 -0500 Organization: Action on Smoking and Health MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_009D_01C600BC.62D8E0F0" X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 Thread-Index: AcYA5kt1lteSmP9HRYmnNGhdyodBXw== Status: O X-UID: 15322 Content-Length: 936 X-Keywords: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_009D_01C600BC.62D8E0F0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mr. Banzhaf Can I have the newsletter electronically also ------=_NextPart_000_009D_01C600BC.62D8E0F0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

################################################################### # Advertising & Sponsorship # # US: California/MD/NY: RJR Urged to End 'Drinks on Us' Promotion # ################################################################### R.J. Reynolds Urged to End 'Drinks on Us' - Los Angeles Times/AP December 13, 2005 By NATALIE GOTT, Associated Press Writer RALEIGH, N.C. - The attorneys general of California, Maryland and New York are urging R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. to end its "Drinks on Us" birthday promotion, saying it reflects a "cavalier and dangerous attitude toward drinking." In their complaint with RJR, the three cite research that finds people are more likely to smoke when drinking, and that smokers who regularly drink are nearly twice as likely to suffer genetic mutations associated with lung cancer than those who do not. They also say RJR's direct-mail campaign may be reaching underage drinkers and smokers. "For years, RJR has demonstrated it doesn't care about the health of our children, doing its best to hook them on cigarettes with targeted advertising, free samples and other schemes," California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said in a statement Tuesday. "Now it has expanded its horizons to encourage young adults to go on drinking binges that endanger themselves and others." Lockyer, Maryland Attorney General Joseph Curran and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer first asked R.J. Reynolds, a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. and the nation's second-largest tobacco company, to end the program in a letter sent last month. In it, they said a Maryland resident had received a box from R.J. Reynolds on his 22nd birthday containing six coasters, each featuring a recipe for a different mixed drink. A coaster with the recipe for a drink called "Blue in the Face" included the message, "If You Turn Green, You're Doing It Wrong," the letter said. A recipe for a drink called "After Dark" included the message, "Layer It On, Go 'Til Daybreak." Officials at Winston-Salem-based R.J. Reynolds did not immediately return a message left Tuesday by The Associated Press. But in a Nov. 29 letter to the attorneys general, the company said it strongly disagrees with the state's characterization of the "Drinks on Us" promotion. James Beckett, the company's senior counsel, wrote that the program is scheduled to end no later than April. "The coasters are sent to adult smokers older than 21 years of age on their birthdays," Beckett wrote. "Those who receive the coasters or any of our mailings may at any time ask to be removed from our mailing list." Along with the three attorneys general, several alcoholic beverage companies are upset with the promotion. The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States said the promotion was "apparently directed to individuals aged 18 and older," with wording promoting excessive and irresponsible consumption of alcohol. A spokesman for Louisville, Ky.-based Brown-Forman Corp. said the maker of Jack Daniels and Southern Comfort has asked Reynolds to stop using its trademarks without permission. The ingredients on one coaster lists those spirits by brand name. "The indications of the promotions of overindulgence (and) overconsuming is against our policy," said Phil Lynch, spokesman for Brown-Forman Corp. Share of Reynolds American closed up $2.63, or 2.8 percent, at $95.48 in trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange. On the Net: R.J.

[But] as the older generation of smokers are dying off, I guess you have to get new customers who are young." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cigarette Maker Pours It On Strong in Promo - Los Angeles Times a.. Atty. Gen. Lockyer and others urge R.J. Reynolds to stop mailing out drink recipes. December 14, 2005 By Molly Selvin and Claire Hoffman, Times Staff Writers The first present Kellen Cox received on her 24th birthday was a set of six drink coasters that came in the mail - each bearing the recipe of an exotic cocktail. One concoction, the Crazy Bootlegger, called for a shot each of Jack Daniel's, Southern Comfort and Sambuca. "Mix three shots together over ice, then make sure you're sitting," the coaster urged. The gift giver was no friend, or even a liquor company. It was tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds, promoting its Camel brand of cigarettes by sending the coasters as birthday presents to people in their 20s. The marketing campaign is drawing fire from state authorities and liquor distillers. Critics say the coasters are part of a grass-roots marketing campaign to associate Camel cigarettes with trendy cocktails - and encourage young people to drink. California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer on Tuesday joined his counterparts in Maryland and New York, along with the alcoholic beverage industry, in condemning the campaign. The high alcohol content of the drink recipes, as well as the accompanying boozy messages, will "blatantly encourage irresponsible and excessive consumption of alcohol," Lockyer said. Touting a drink called After Dark - equal parts Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream and Licor 43 - one coaster says, "Layer it on, go 'til daybreak." Others advise, "Kiss your worries goodbye" and "Pour over ice, then let it burn." Cox, a public relations major at the University of Texas at Arlington, figures she ended up on the company's mailing list last year when a tobacco company employee approached her in a bar and persuaded her to fill out a form. "I was drunk, and they said, 'We'll give you free stuff,' " she recalled. Cox conceded that the promotion was clever - she smokes only when she drinks. "Marketing-wise, it's very smart," Cox said. Reynolds has long been accused by anti-smoking and health activists of targeting youth. The company dropped ads featuring the Joe Camel cartoon character in 1997 after the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with unfair advertising practices. In 2004 the company agreed to pay an $11.4-million penalty to end a suit by Lockyer accusing the cigarette maker of marketing to teens by advertising Camel and other brands in magazines such as InStyle, Spin and Hot Rod. But Maura Payne, vice president of communications for Reynolds, said the company was being wrongly accused over the latest campaign. It sends the drink promotion only to people who had identified themselves as smokers - by accepting free samples at a Reynolds-sponsored event, for example - and only after independently verifying they are legally entitled to drink, she said. As part of the tobacco industry's landmark 1998 settlement with states that barred advertising to minors, bars are among the few places companies can pass out free cigarettes, Payne said, because they are off-limits to children. Payne declined to say how many people have received the Reynolds mailing. Although the birthday greetings program began in January, the attorneys general got involved late last month after a Maryland resident lodged a complaint with the office of state Atty. Gen. J. Joseph Curran Jr., according to Lockyer's spokesman, Tom Dresslar. "It kind of snowballed from there," Dresslar said. Payne said the promotion was slated to end in April 2006, although that date was "currently being reviewed internally" in response to the complaint from attorneys general. Marvin Goldberg, a business professor at Pennsylvania State University, said Reynolds was using a self-perpetuating style of marketing to promote smoking by touting alcoholic drinks. "This is the perfect setup for viral marketing," he said. The coasters introduce the "virus," he said, tacitly encourage young people - including underage friends and family members of those who receive the coasters - to drink and smoke. Yet "the tobacco industry isn't anywhere around," Goldberg said. "They can say: 'It's not us. Their friends got them to smoke.' " John Pellinghelli, a classmate of Cox's at UT Arlington who is studying marketing, agrees that the campaign is clever. "They've obviously been doing some research," said Pellinghelli, 21. "I think if you ask anybody my age, most of those who don't smoke will still smoke a cigarette if they are drinking. I think it's pretty common." Among the strongest critics of the Camel campaign are makers of the alcohol products named on the drink coasters. The industry - which also has faced accusations of trying to lure minors with advertisements - accused Reynolds of not only marketing to minors, but misusing their trademarks. Peter Cressy, president of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said Tuesday that he was outraged by the "unauthorized, irresponsible campaign condoning excessive, illegal drinking." "The spirits brands highlighted in the R.J. Reynolds marketing promotion were included without the knowledge, consent or participation of any spirits company," he said, adding that his industry "does not condone any marketing materials that glorify drunkenness and illegal, underage consumption." Brad Haas, a student from Thousand Oaks majoring in pre-med at UCLA, said he didn't receive coasters or any other promotional material when he turned 21 in February. But he's disturbed by the idea of tobacco companies targeting people his age through the mail. "It's troublesome to know that these companies are stalking you and trying to get your information," Haas said. But "as the older generation of smokers are dying off, I guess you have to get new customers who are young." http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-camel14dec14,1,2836328.story?coll=la-headlines-business ============================= Stan Shatenstein Co-editor, GLOBALink News & Information Contributing Editor, Tobacco Control E-mail: shatensteins@sympatico.ca ============================= News & Information Set-up: http://member.globalink.org/n&i News & Information Archives: http://member.globalink.org/news ============================ ######################################################################################### # Cessation # # Prev Med: US: CARES: Home health care nurses as a new channel for cessation treatment # ######################################################################################### Home health care nurses as a new channel for smoking cessation treatment: Outcomes from project CARES (Community-nurse Assisted Research and Education on Smoking) Preventive Medicine Volume 41, Issues 5-6 , November-December 2005, Pages 815-821 Belinda Borrelli Ph.D.a, , , Scott Novak Ph.D.a, Jacki Hecht R.N., M.S.N.a, Karen Emmons Ph.D.b, George Papandonatos Ph.D.c and David Abrams Ph.D.a aThe Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine, Brown Medical School/The Miriam Hospital, Coro West Building, Suite 500, One Hoppin Street, Providence, RI 02903, USA bHarvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02215, USA cCenter for Statistical Sciences, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA Available online 22 September 2005. Available online 22 September 2005. Abstract Background. Clinical guidelines for smoking cessation may not be sufficient for helping some subgroups of smokers quit. Incorporating smoking cessation into home-based medical care can proactively reach high-risk smokers who may not have access to (or spontaneously seek) smoking cessation. Method. Home health care nurses (N = 98) were randomly assigned to deliver either Motivational Enhancement (ME; Motivational Interviewing + Carbon Monoxide Feedback) or Standard Care (AHCPR Guidelines for smoking cessation) to their patients. Seventy percent of patients were eligible and willing to participate (N = 273; 54% female, mean age = 57 years, 83% Caucasian, 41% < high school education). The study was conducted in Providence, RI, USA from 1998 to 2003. Results. Biochemically verified continuous abstinence rates at the 12-month follow-up were 4.2% (SC) and 8.7% (ME) for intent to treat analyses, and 5.2% (SC) and 11.8% (ME) using all available cases (P > 0.05). ME reported more quit attempts and significantly greater reductions in the number of cigarettes smoked per day at all follow-ups through 12 months of post-treatment (all P values < 0.05). Conclusions. Use of an existing public health channel such as home health care to reach smokers who vary in their motivation to quit could have the potential for large public health impact.

Abstract Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) forms an increasing health problem. Despite smoking cessation improving the prognosis of the disease, many patients persist smoking. The present study presents the results of a smoking cessation counseling protocol in general practice (Smoking Cessation in patients with COPD in general practice (SMOCC)). Methods. A randomized controlled trial of patients with COPD compared smoking cessation counseling according to an intensified minimal intervention strategy with usual care. In total 43 general practices with 392 patients participated in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2001-2002. Results. Significantly more smokers in the experimental group made a quit attempt (44.9% versus 36.5%) and actually quitted smoking than in the control group (16.0% versus 8.8%). The motivation to stop smoking at baseline was not associated with smoking cessation. Conclusion. The SMOCC strategy doubled the self-reported quit rates and was complied well by the general practitioners. Implementation in general practice is recommended.

But the sweet delights being offered up at Montreal's Hookah Lounge are all flavoured tobaccos -- the latest indulgence of young trendsetters across North America. "It tastes so sweet, and it's really, really relaxing," says Roxanne Martin, a 20-year-old university student. "It's also a lot more sociable than just having a cigarette." Ms. Martin is sitting on comfy cushions with three other friends, laughing, drinking and smoking in the St. Denis Street bar. The foursome is smoking cherry-flavoured tobacco from a large hookah pipe sitting on the table. Each has a long tube with a filter tip, and they are absentmindedly sucking in the smoke as they talk. "I'm not a smoker, but I like sheesha," says François Guérin, a 23-year-old psychology major. "The smoke isn't harsh like a cigarette, and it's not bad for your health because the toxins are filtered out." Hookah, a centuries-old practice (which also goes by the names sheesha and arguileh) is a glorified form of smoking a water pipe. Flavoured tobacco is burned on red-hot coals and the smoke is inhaled after passing through cooling water, all of it contained in an elaborately artful brass receptacle. Many believe the water filters out the health-damaging byproducts of smoking, such as nicotine, tar and other carcinogens. But new research shows that is not true. "Water filters out nicotine a little bit, but not entirely," said Rima Nakkash, a tobacco researcher at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "There is an alarming amount of tar and smokers are inhaling a tremendous amount of carbon monoxide. "We need to correct the misconception about the safety of arguileh," she said. Ms. Nakkash said that while cigarette smoking has become an anti-social habit, hookah smoking is very sociable. As a result, people will smoke virtually non-stop for hours, which more than makes up for the small amount of nicotine that is filtered out. "There's an end point to a cigarette but there's no end point to arguileh. The evening can just go on and on." The popularity of hookah bars, however, could be short-lived -- at least in Canada. Many municipalities have adopted tough anti-smoking bylaws that have been interpreted as applying to all forms of tobacco smoking. Still, in some communities, bars owner can sidestep the rules by setting up rooms for private parties where hookah smoking can take place. In Quebec, where bars will not be smoke free until January of 2007, there is an exemption for lounges (such as cigar-tasting facilities) and hookah-bar owners believe they will be allowed to remain open under those provisions. Meanwhile, Ms. Martin and her friends while away a whole evening in the Hookah Lounge, ordering up "coals" (20-gram packages) of flavoured tobacco along with pitchers of sangria. Each package of tobacco costs $7.50 -- the student price, which is less than a pack of cigarettes (the regular price is $11.50) -- and lasts almost an hour. They've come for the atmosphere to the bar with the hookah-smoking Santa painted on the front window, Ms. Martin said. The crowd here is young and laidback; there are comfortable lounge chairs and pillows, along with background music, and remarkably smoke-free air. "I've invested in a good ventilation system," said Patrick St. Onge, the youthful owner of the Hookah Lounge. "I know that my clients come here for the ambience." In fact, hookah smoking has become trendy precisely because the practice has moved out of the more traditional confines of mostly Middle Eastern cafés and into urban bars. That worries Linda Waverley, program manager of research for international tobacco control at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa, which is sponsoring research on the burgeoning hookah habit. "These machines are quite attractive and fascinating, and there's a whole mythology built up around their safety," she said. "This is a form of smoking that is really being targeted at youth, and that's disturbing." Monique Chaaya, an associate professor in the faculty of health sciences at the American University of Beirut, said young people are attracted to hookah smoking because it tends to be cheaper. That's because tobacco is imported -- and sometimes smuggled in -- and not subject to punitive taxes or to health warnings on packages. In the Middle East, where there were long social prohibitions, women are now taking up the habit, including large numbers of pregnant women, according research done by Dr. Chaaya. But she said the principal selling point of hookah, in both the developing and developed world, is that it is not viewed in the same way as other forms of tobacco consumption. "You look down on someone who smokes cigarettes but it's still socially acceptable to smoke arguileh," she said. "It's considered charming and adventurous." With a sigh, she added: "Anti-smoking activists have some education work to do, particularly with young people." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051213.wxhhookah13/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/ ============================= Stan Shatenstein Co-editor, GLOBALink News & Information Contributing Editor, Tobacco Control E-mail: shatensteins@sympatico.ca ============================= News & Information Set-up: http://member.globalink.org/n&i News & Information Archives: http://member.globalink.org/news ============================ ############################################################################################# # Health & Science # # Prev Med: Japan: Relation of smoking & drinking to sleep disturbance among pregnant women # ############################################################################################# Relation of smoking and drinking to sleep disturbance among Japanese pregnant women Preventive Medicine Volume 41, Issues 5-6 , November-December 2005, Pages 877-882 Yoshitaka Kaneita M.D., Ph.D.a, Takashi Ohida M.D., Ph.D.a, , , Shinji Takemura Ph.D.b, Tomofumi Sone M.D., Ph.D.b, Kenshu Suzuki M.D., Ph.D.a, Takeo Miyake M.D., Ph.D.a, Eise Yokoyama M.D., Ph.D.a and Takashi Umeda Ph.D.c aDepartment of Public Health, School of Medicine, Nihon University 30-1 Oyaguchi-kamimachi, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 173-8610, Japan bDepartment of Public Health Policy, National Institute of Public Health, Wako, Saitama, Japan cDepartment of Public Health, School of Medicine, Hirosaki University, Hirosaki, Aomori, Japan Available online 24 October 2005. Abstract Background. Pregnant women suffer from sleep disturbance, which may be aggravated by smoking and/or drinking. We investigate here the joint effect of smoking and drinking with respect to sleep disturbance during pregnancy. Methods. Survey of about 16,000 pregnant women in Japan, conducted in 2002 using a self-administered questionnaire. Results. Both smoking and drinking increased the odds of sleep disturbances, such as subjective insufficient sleep, difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep, early-morning awakening, short sleep duration, excessive daytime sleepiness and restless legs syndrome. The joint odds ratios for smoking and drinking corresponded more or less to the products of the odds ratio for smoking or drinking. Conclusion. Smoking and drinking are independently associated with increased sleep disturbance during pregnancy, in addition to their other well-known side-effects.

After only a year in the tobacco business the company has already received wide recognition in the industry after lifting Empretec's Entrepreneur of the Year award last week. The awards were held to honour emerging entrepreneurs that performed above expectations in the past year. Operating under the Leaf and Flavour Extracts (L & Fe) brand, Africa Tobacco is involved in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of cigarettes and plans are underway to launch five more products under the brand name. In an interview with the Herald Business, managing director Mr David Zanamwe said Africa Tobacco entered the market at a difficult time but had managed to defy the odds staked against them. "So far the response from the (domestic) market has been overwhelming, which means quite a lot to us as we are one of the first black-owned cigarette manufacturers in this country. "It was a case of going against all odds and coming up with innovative solutions to overcome the challenges that we faced and it is our hope that in the near future we will be talking of something big," said Mr Zanamwe. Marketing and sales director Mr Kennedy Mwedziwendira said that focus was now on adding value to the raw tobacco by turning it into quality cigarettes for the export market, to generate the much needed foreign cur- rency. Plans are already underway to export cigarettes to regional markets such as Mozambique, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of Congo among other sub-Saharan countries. This was the first step towards expanding into international arena. Exports to the region had been scheduled to start next year. Mr Mwedziwendira added that Africa Tobacco would in 2006 seek to establish its own manufacturing plant as it was currently using facilities owned by a third party. The company was incorporated in July 2003 when executive chairman Mr Michael Masuku, managing director Mr Zanamwe, marketing and sales director Mr Mwedziwendira and operations director Mr Kenneth Fararira joined hands. The four have more than 40 years' combined experience in the tobacco industry and that was main their strength and launching pad to the birth of the company. With the help of more than US$500 000 from private investors, they were able to jumpstart operations in January this year. The company has not looked back ever since. Africa Tobacco's long-term vision was to garner a significant stake of the world tobacco market by 2023, said Mr Zanamwe. http://www.herald.co.zw/inside.aspx?sectid=490&cat=8 ============================= Stan Shatenstein Co-editor, GLOBALink News & Information Contributing Editor, Tobacco Control E-mail: shatensteins@sympatico.ca ============================= News & Information Set-up: http://member.globalink.org/n&i News & Information Archives: http://member.globalink.org/news ============================ ####################################################################################### # Industry & Products # # US: Philip Morris/Altria/Chrysalis: Firm branches out, develops inhaler, makes deal # ####################################################################################### Philip Morris branches out - Richmond Times-Dispatch Firm undertakes its first nontobacco product; device treats lung disorders Dec 13, 2005 BY JOHN REID BLACKWELL TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER The nation's largest cigarette company is getting into the business of treating lung disorders. Richmond-based Philip Morris USA said yesterday that a research-focused division of the company, Chrysalis Technologies, has agreed to work with a Pennsylvania biotechnology company to develop therapies for lung disorders such as respiratory distress in premature infants. The alliance between the companies centers on a mechanical device developed by Chrysalis Technologies that can deliver drugs in an aerosol form deep into the lungs, making it an effective tool for treating certain lung disorders. Although not directly related to Philip Morris USA's cigarette business, the device is an outgrowth of the company's years of research on potentially less-harmful tobacco products. Chrysalis was founded in 2000 as a subsidiary of Philip Morris USA's parent company Altria Group Inc. to determine whether technologies the company had discovered that were not applicable to its tobacco business were commercially viable. The venture is Philip Morris USA's first into a nontobacco business as the company looks to broaden its potential sales beyond the slowly declining U.S. cigarette market. Jennifer Golisch, a Philip Morris USA spokeswoman, said the Chrysalis venture does not affect the company's tobacco business and is not part of its growth strategy for that business. "This alliance offers us the opportunity to develop our aerosol-generation technology with a new class of pulmonary medicine products," Golisch said. Philip Morris employs more than 6,400 people in the Richmond area. Chrysalis, which is based in Chesterfield County and became a division of Philip Morris in January, has been working quietly on the aerosol device and holds more than 40 patents on the technology. The number of employees was not disclosed. Under the agreement announced yesterday, Chrysalis will work with Discovery Laboratories Inc., a Warrington, Pa.-based biotechnology company, to fine-tune the device for specific therapeutic uses. Robert J. Capetola, president and chief executive officer of Discovery Laboratories, said the biotech company has been evaluating the Chrysalis device for more than a year. Discovery Labs plans to conduct clinical trials next year, using its drugs in combination with the Chrysalis device to treat respiratory distress in premature infants. Capetola said the Chrysalis technology is more effective than current methods for delivering surfactants, which are substances that are produced naturally in the lungs and are essential for breathing. Respiratory-distress syndrome occurs in premature babies whose lungs are too immature to produce surfactants. Each year, about 70,000 infants in the United States and nearly 500,000 worldwide suffer from respiratory distress, Capetola said. With the Chrysalis technology, "we now have the possibility of delivering surfactants into the lungs without putting patients on mechanical ventilation," he said. The technology might also be useful in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma, cystic fibrosis and acute lung injury, Capetola said. The potential market exceeds $1 billion, he said, but it may be three years before a product is commercially available. The deal would provide Chrysalis with royalties based on sales, but its share was not disclosed. Discovery Labs is responsible for regulatory approvals and the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of the product. Using a technology developed by a cigarette company for treating respiratory disorders does raise ethical questions, said Alfred Munzer, a pulmonologist at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, Md., and a past president of the American Lung Association. "I think it does matter," where the product comes from, Munzer said. "I think we like our medical products to come from companies that hold the highest ethical standards. Anything that has the name Philip Morris attached to it makes me skeptical, since they have been in the business of creating lung disease rather than curing it." Capetola said his company considered the ethical questions "extensively" but decided to go with the Chrysalis device because "our scientists and engineers told us that the Chrysalis technology is the best." "We think we have a duty to our patients to develop drugs that can help them better than any other technology, and if the Chrysalis technology can do that, then that is what we are going to use," he said. Steven M. Donn, a professor of pediatrics and director of neonatal-perinatal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System, said what matters is how well the treatment works. "If I am the parent of a premature baby with respiratory distress and somebody tells me my baby could have a better outcome with less risk of a lifelong injury, then I don't care who makes the device," said Donn, who has served on a scientific advisory board for Discovery Laboratories.

Stan Shatenstein -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CSR Business as Usual? The Case of the Tobacco Industry Journal of Business Ethics Volume 61, Number 4 November 2005 Pages: 387 - 401 Guido Palazzo1 and Ulf Richter1 (1) Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC), University of Lausanne, 619-BFSH-1, CH - 1015 Lausanne-Dorigny, Switzerland Abstract Tobacco companies have started to position themselves as good corporate citizens. The effort towards CSR engagement in the tobacco industry is not only heavily criticized by anti-tobacco NGOs. Some opponents such as the the World Health Organization have even categorically questioned the possibility of social responsibility in the tobacco industry. The paper will demonstrate that the deep distrust towards tobacco companies is linked to the lethal character of their products and the dubious behavior of their representatives in recent decades. As a result, tobacco companies are not in the CSR business in the strict sense. Key aspects of mainstream CSR theory and practice such as corporate philanthropy, stakeholder collaboration, CSR reporting and self-regulation, are demonstrated to be ineffective or even counterproductive in the tobacco industry. Building upon the terminology used in the leadership literature, the paper proposes to differentiate between transactiona! l and transformational CSR arguing that tobacco companies can only operate on a transactional level. As a consequence, corporate responsibility in the tobacco industry is based upon a much thinner approach to CSR and has to be conceptualized with a focus on transactional integrity across the tobacco supply chain.

December 13, 2005 CHICAGO (Reuters) - The Illinois Supreme Court is scheduled to rule Thursday on a $10.1 billion verdict against Philip Morris USA in a case in which the largest U.S. cigarette manufacturer was found to have fooled smokers into thinking "light" cigarettes were healthier than regular smokes. The schedule for the anticipated ruling was announced Monday on the court's Web site. The initial $10.1 billion judgment in the class-action case was handed down against the unit of Altria Group Inc. (up $0.30 to $72.51, Research) by a trial court judge in March 2003. The Supreme Court took the unusual step of bypassing the appellate court and hearing the case on appeal directly from the trial court. Arguments were heard in November 2004, and investors and analysts have been awaiting a ruling since. The case is one of the major legal issues that Altria Chairman Louis Camilleri has said needs to be resolved before the company executes plans to break Altria into two or three separate companies, splitting Altria's Kraft Foods Inc. (up $0.31 to $29.53, Research) business from the U.S. and international tobacco units. The scheduling of the ruling could give Altria's shares a lift even before the actual ruling is released Thursday, Bonnie Herzog, tobacco analyst at Citigroup Investment Research, said in a research note. "We believe the probability that Philip Morris wins the appeal is over 75 percent," she said. "Therefore, we recommend investors maintain a long position in the stock heading into a decision, since we expect the upside in the stock could be over 10 percent on Thursday." Altria stock has gained 22 percent over the past year, in part because of anticipation of the possible breakup of the company once the U.S. litigation landscape clears. http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/13/news/fortune500/altria.reut/index.htm?section=money_latest Additional coverage: Altria shares rally on impending Illinois ruling - Reuters http://today.reuters.com/investing/financeArticle.aspx?type=hotStocksNews&storyID=2005-12-13T203410Z_01_KWA374020_RTRUKOC_0_US-TOBACCO-ALTRIA-STOCKS.xml ============================= Stan Shatenstein Co-editor, GLOBALink News & Information Contributing Editor, Tobacco Control E-mail: shatensteins@sympatico.ca ============================= News & Information Set-up: http://member.globalink.org/n&i News & Information Archives: http://member.globalink.org/news ============================ ################################################################################## # Legislation & Politics # # NZ: Tobacco-flavoured dessert gives 'undeniable buzz', but ruled impermissible # ################################################################################## Tobacco-flavoured dessert gives 'undeniable buzz' - Otago Daily Times 14 December 2005 By CELIA WILLIAMS A Wanaka chef's idea to create a tobacco-flavoured ice cream has gone up in smoke thanks to food safety regulations. Andrew Spiegel, head chef of Sargood's Restaurant at Edgewater Resort, has spent the past few months concocting a smoked vanilla and tobacco ice cream for a seven-course tasting menu, after wanting to cater for nicotine lovers dining out, and having been inspired by reading A Cook's Tour, by chef Anthony Bourdin. In A Cook's Tour, Bourdin ("a degenerate smoker") is served tobacco-infused custard as part of a 20-course meal. Mr Spiegel, a "reformed smoker", has long been frustrated by smokers leaving the table for a cigarette, which he says interrupts the flow of a meal. "We always talked about doing something for smokers. . . I was always curious about trying to do a smoked ice cream." After the birth of his daughter five months ago, Mr Spiegel found some leftover celebratory Cuban cigars, and decided to give it a try. He set about perfecting his recipe, which involved smoking vanilla pods and cream, as well as pinot noir canes - sprinkling in a little bit of tobacco from a cigar. Then he infused the rest of the cigar in milk. The first batch "tasted like a dirty ashtray", but the third attempt was much nicer. He received positive responses to all three batches. "I loved it the final batch. It was sweet ice cream but at the same time you got an undeniable buzz." He had no urge to return to the habit after eating the ice cream, he said. After tastings by some staff members, the question was raised whether it was legal to serve food containing nicotine. "The main issue, I'm sure, would be the rate of transfer of nicotine in a moist environment, as opposed to an incineration." He thought it might be acceptable to impose an age restriction on the dessert - as there is on any packet of cigarettes. Mr Spiegel approached the New Zealand Food Safety Authority, which advised him that tobacco was prohibited from food because of health risks - arguably promoting the smoking of tobacco - and therefore must not be intentionally added to foods. "But it's not an illegal substance - it's a legally purchasable and usable substance for adults. "I'm curious to know what other rules are out there, and who enforces this." Nevertheless, he has resolved to "smile and move on", and create another smoke-flavoured ice cream - this time without the tobacco. He is working on a dessert called One Fat Cop - complete with doughnuts, espresso jelly, cigarette-shaped cookies and his new smoked vanilla ice cream - to match "Hollywood's perception or portrayal of police". http://www.stuff.co.nz/otago/0,2106,3511614a6017,00.html ============================= Stan Shatenstein Co-editor, GLOBALink News & Information Contributing Editor, Tobacco Control E-mail: shatensteins@sympatico.ca ============================= News & Information Set-up: http://member.globalink.org/n&i News & Information Archives: http://member.globalink.org/news ============================ ############################################################################# # Legislation & Politics # # US: California: Tobacco tax hike alliance calls for significant increases # ############################################################################# CALIFORNIA Tobacco tax hike alliance - San Francisco Chronicle 2 groups combine on ballot measure Lynda Gledhill, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau Wednesday, December 14, 2005 Sacramento -- Backers of two competing tobacco tax initiatives announced an agreement Tuesday to work together to support a $2.60 increase in the state's tobacco tax for the November 2006 ballot. If approved by voters, the measure would make California's tax on a pack of cigarettes the highest in the nation. The tax is now 87 cents and has not been increased since 1998. The détente averts a fight in which hospital groups tried to push a $1.50 tax increase while children's groups and anti-tobacco groups were planning their own $1.50 tax hike. "The parties recognized that the best chance for success would be with a combined effort," said Jim Knox, legislative advocate for the American Cancer Society. About half of the $2.27 billion expected to be raised annually will go for treatment programs such as emergency care services and nursing education, while about 40 percent of the funds will go toward disease prevention, including providing health insurance for all children in the state. "This is a landmark advance for all Californians," said Duane Dauner, president of the California Hospital Association. "It's not just a program designed for hospitals or the others in the coalition -- it is an initiative that contains broad, sweeping changes in funding for programs that are essential to all Californians." A spokesman for Phillip Morris USA said the proposed tax is excessive. "Excessive cigarette taxes can have unintended consequences," said spokesman Bill Phelps. "That includes illegal activity such as smuggling from states with a different tax rate and the sale of counterfeit cigarettes." Phelps said it's estimated that California already loses hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to illegal cigarette sales. The initiative sets aside $20 million to increase enforcement to prevent black-market sales of cigarettes. The health groups said the agreement was reached after 11 days of intense negotiations mediated by former Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat. Monday would have been the deadline for the hospital industry to submit the 1 million signatures it had gathered to qualify its initiative for the June ballot. Dauner said the group spent about $4 million on that effort, but said "the solution was more important than what we spent." Because the total amount of the proposed new tax is less than what each side would have received if the separate initiatives had both succeeded, some compromises were made. "When we came back together, we decided the big picture was more important than any individual program," Dauner said. "We all had to make sacrifices, but I don't think any of the programs suffered." The proposed tax serves two benefits in the eyes of supporters: It provides needed money to vital health programs, and it will depress cigarette sales. "This tobacco tax will save lives. It will prevent children from becoming addicted to tobacco," said Paul Knepprath, vice president of the American Lung Association of California. "We know increasing the tobacco tax is one of the most effective ways to stop kids from smoking." Supporters said the tobacco tax revenue is calculated to decline about 7 percent annually. The expected decline in revenue will inevitably mean less money for the programs, supporters acknowledge. "This is not a panacea," said Knox. "It's important to remember that to a great degree these funds will be augmenting existing programs." The initiative also allocated $162 million a year to offset any loss of revenue to Proposition 10 programs. Proposition 10, approved by voters in 1998, added a tax of 50 cents per pack to fund early childhood education. Tax breakdown A proposed $2.60 per pack tax increase on cigarettes would raise an estimated $2.27 billion a year. Here's how the money would be spent: -- Hospital emergency care ($828 million) -- Nursing education ($100 million) -- Community clinics ($64 million) -- Emergency room physicians ($72 million) -- Physician education (($8 million) -- Prostate cancer treatment ($19 million) -- Tobacco cessation programs ($19 million) -- Children's health insurance ($405 million) -- Tobacco education and enforcement ($194 million) -- Cancer, heart, asthma prevention ($292 million) -- Cancer- and tobacco-related disease research ($105 million) -- Early childhood education programs approved by Proposition 10 ($162 million) E-mail Lynda Gledhill at lgledhill@sfchronicle.com. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/14/BAGSTG7H7B1.DTL&feed=rss.bayarea Additional coverage: Calif.

Stan Shatenstein -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Exposure in Florence Hospitality Venues Before and After the Smoking Ban in Italy Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine. 47(12):1208-1210, December 2005. Gorini, Giuseppe MD; Gasparrini, Antonio DSc; Fondelli, Maria Cristina DSc; Costantini, Adele Seniori MD; Centrich, Francesc DSc; Lopez, Maria Jose DSc; Nebot, Manel MD; Tamang, Elizabeth MD To the Editor: We read with interest the paper by Repace1 presenting an air quality study conducted for the first time before and after a statewide smoking ban in eight Delaware hospitality venues with real-time measures of respirable suspended particles (RSP) and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAH). Postban levels of RSP ranged from 2.5% to 25% of preban values and averaged 9.4%, whereas postban PPAH concentration ranged from 0.5% to 11% of preban levels and averaged 4.7%. Thus, approximately 90% of RSP and 95% of PPAH can be attributed to tobacco smoke. A law banning smoking in enclosed public places entered into force in Italy on January 10, 2005.2 Italy has become the third European country to introduce a smoking ban, following Ireland and Norway. We measured nicotine vapor phase in pubs and discos before and after the smoking ban in Italy. Nicotine was measured using passive samplers, which comprise a plastic cassette (with a windscreen in one side) containing a filter treated with sodium bisulfate (diameter of 37 mm). The samplers were used as personal monitor in four pubs and three discos in Florence. The samplers had to be clipped for approximately 4 hours to a shirt collar or lapel, with the windscreen facing out, away from the clothes. For each venue, two samples before and two after the smoking ban were collected (Table 1). Discos and pubs were selected at random from a sampling universe list. The filters were analyzed at the Laboratory of Barcelona by the gas chromatography (GC/MS) method. The lower limit of detec! tion is 0.01 g/mL. The nicotine concentration (g/m3) was obtained by dividing the observed nicotine concentration by the flow rate (24 mL/min) and allowing for the time the filter had been exposed. The method has been previously validated by Hammond et al3 and used in several studies.4 Before the smoking ban, nicotine concentrations ranged from 33.0 to 276.5 g/m3 with a median value of 138.9 g/m3. After the smoking ban, concentrations ranged from 1.7 to 8.7 g/m3 with a median value of 4.5 g/m3. Postban levels of nicotine ranged from 0.9% to 5.9% of preban values and averaged 3.2% (Table 1). The median value before the smoking ban (138.9 g/m3) translates (using the formula of Repace and Lowery5) into a lifetime excess lung cancer mortality rate for hospitality industry workers of 180 per 10,000, and the median value after the smoking ban (4.5 g/m3) into an estimate of six per 10,000 with a decrease in lifetime excess of 97%. This is the first study on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in hospitality premises before and after the smoking ban in Italy. Results of this study confirm those of Repace's air quality study,1 even if in Delaware hospitality venues, different ETS markers were measured. Thus, a nationwide smoking ban can determine a reduction of approximately 90% to 95% of ETS exposure in hospitality venues, the most ETS-polluted public areas. More studies are required to monitor the compliance of a nationwide smoking ban for a longer time.

Repace, James MSc Gorini et al1 report a 90% to 95% reduction in environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) nicotine concentrations in four pubs and three discos in Florence, following Italy's countrywide smoking ban, in agreement with the pollution reduction reported in a hospitality industry investigation in eight venues using two other atmospheric markers for ETS, respirable suspended particles (RSP), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), after Wilmington, Delaware's smoking ban in the United States in 2002.2 These data are also in agreement with data taken in 20 hospitality venues in Western New York State by Travers et al,3 which found an 84% reduction in RSP after New York's statewide smoking ban in 2003. Gorini et al1 also estimate a 40-year working lifetime risk of lung cancer mortality for pub and disco workers from ETS exposure at 18 per 1000, associated with a median nicotine concentration of 138.9 g/m3, using the risk model of Repace and Lowrey.4 Adjusted to a 45-year regulatory wor! king lifetime, this level of excess ETS-induced risk is an estimated 20 times the "significant risk of material impairment of health" level used by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in regulating serious workplace hazards. An ETS-RSP risk model derived by Repace and Lowrey4 may also be applied to the Wilmington and Western New York data, which had mean estimated ETS-RSP levels of 220 g/m3 and 299 g/m3, respectively, using an ETS-RSP exposure-response relationship of 75 g/m3 daily average for a 40-year working lifetime average ETS-RSP exposure equating to one death per 1000. This method yields mean estimated 45-year working lifetime lung cancer mortality risks of approximately four per 1000 hospitality industry workers averaged over the 28 U.S. venues. Estimated risk of ETS-induced heart disease mortality is 10 times higher than for lung cancer.5 Air pollution from ETS is far worse than that generated by heavy traffic. 4,6 Attempts to control ETS by v! entilation or air cleaning require impossible tornado-like levels of a irflow. 7 The study by Gorini et al1 in Italy generalizes the U.S. results, suggesting that hospitality workers in Europe as well as the United States are at very high risk from workplace passive smoking and benefit greatly from total workplace smoking bans.

Received 1 October 2004; accepted 7 December 2004. Available online 28 June 2005. Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exposure to different substances on the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The case group consisted of 74 housewives. These were female patients who never smoked who had a diagnosis of COPD and were seen at the Cumhuriyet University Hospital in Sivas, Turkey, between January 1, 2001, and March 31, 2002. The control group consisted of 74 housewives; this group consisted of healthy women who never smoked who came to the hospital as visitors and who did not have the diagnosis of COPD. The control group was chosen by group matching of the age distribution of the women in the case group and the regions and the neighborhoods where they lived.. All of the women in the case and control groups were evaluated with a questionnaire for exposure to wood ashes, biomass, and cigarette smoke in closed areas. Results No difference was found in the groups for exposure to wood ashes (p > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis resulted in the following odds ratio of COPD estimate for women with ? 30 years biomass exposure, 6.61 (95% Confidence interral [CI]: 2.17-20.18); for women with ? 30 years cigarette smoke exposure, 4.96 (95% CI: 1.65-14.86). Conclusion A statistically significant correlation was found between the effect of ? 30 years of exposure to biomass and cigarette smoke exposure and the development of COPD.

Twenty-three people, including seven main ringleaders, are accused of shipping in dozens of consignments from South Korea over a two-year period from October, 2002. Sun Jiwei, an official from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau under Shanghai Customs, told China Daily that the cigarettes the gang had smuggled were worth up to about 27 million yuan (US$3.3 million). They are accused of bringing over 45 separate consignments. "They shipped the products first to a designated spot in Wusongkou Water Area and then had them picked up by barges to a dock in Shanghai's suburban Songjiang District," said prosecutor He Wei. If convicted, the seven main suspects face being jailed for more than 10 years. The opening of the hearing, which was held at the Big Courtroom of the court, attracted around 200 people, including relatives of the accused, police officers and press. It is scheduled to last until tomorrow afternoon. The ring was uncovered when the Anti-Smuggling Bureau under Shanghai Customs seized a ship passing boxes of cigarettes to three barges at about midnight on October 14, 2004 in Wusongkou Water Area. Cigarettes worth more than 6 million yuan (US$743,000) were found. Following information provided by men on the ship, the bureau arrested Liu Shuqin, Zeng Ling, Shi Yunxiang and several others over the next few days. They were accused of either investing or helping to transport or sell the cigarettes. Following a raid at the home of one suspect, Liu Shuqin, detailed records of the previous six smuggling operations, from August to October, 2004, were found. A shipman's diary was later also discovered, which recorded each of the 45 shipments.

    R.J. Reynolds Urged to End 'Drinks on Us' - Los Angeles Times/AP

    December 13, 2005

    By NATALIE GOTT, Associated Press Writer


    RALEIGH, N.C. - The attorneys general of California, Maryland and New York are urging R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. to end its "Drinks on Us" birthday promotion, saying it reflects a "cavalier and dangerous attitude toward drinking."

    In their complaint with RJR, the three cite research that finds people are more likely to smoke when drinking, and that smokers who regularly drink are nearly twice as likely to suffer genetic mutations associated with lung cancer than those who do not. They also say RJR's direct-mail campaign may be reaching underage drinkers and smokers.

    "For years, RJR has demonstrated it doesn't care about the health of our children, doing its best to hook them on cigarettes with targeted advertising, free samples and other schemes," California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said in a statement Tuesday. "Now it has expanded its horizons to encourage young adults to go on drinking binges that endanger themselves and others."

    Lockyer, Maryland Attorney General Joseph Curran and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer first asked R.J. Reynolds, a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. and the nation's second-largest tobacco company, to end the program in a letter sent last month.

    In it, they said a Maryland resident had received a box from R.J. Reynolds on his 22nd birthday containing six coasters, each featuring a recipe for a different mixed drink. A coaster with the recipe for a drink called "Blue in the Face" included the message, "If You Turn Green, You're Doing It Wrong," the letter said. A recipe for a drink called "After Dark" included the message, "Layer It On, Go 'Til Daybreak."

    Officials at Winston-Salem-based R.J. Reynolds did not immediately return a message left Tuesday by The Associated Press. But in a Nov. 29 letter to the attorneys general, the company said it strongly disagrees with the state's characterization of the "Drinks on Us" promotion.

    James Beckett, the company's senior counsel, wrote that the program is scheduled to end no later than April.

    "The coasters are sent to adult smokers older than 21 years of age on their birthdays," Beckett wrote. "Those who receive the coasters or any of our mailings may at any time ask to be removed from our mailing list."

    Along with the three attorneys general, several alcoholic beverage companies are upset with the promotion. The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States said the promotion was "apparently directed to individuals aged 18 and older," with wording promoting excessive and irresponsible consumption of alcohol.

    A spokesman for Louisville, Ky.-based Brown-Forman Corp. said the maker of Jack Daniels and Southern Comfort has asked Reynolds to stop using its trademarks without permission. The ingredients on one coaster lists those spirits by brand name.

    "The indications of the promotions of overindulgence (and) overconsuming is against our policy," said Phil Lynch, spokesman for Brown-Forman Corp.

    Share of Reynolds American closed up $2.63, or 2.8 percent, at $95.48 in trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

    US: California: RJR: Cigarette Maker Pours It On Strong in Promo
    >> online version <<
    Quotable quote:

    UCLA pre-med student Brad Haas, Los Angeles Times: "It's troublesome to know that these companies are stalking you and trying to get your information. [But] as the older generation of smokers are dying off, I guess you have to get new customers who are young."

    Cigarette Maker Pours It On Strong in Promo - Los Angeles Times
    a.. Atty. Gen. Lockyer and others urge R.J. Reynolds to stop mailing out drink recipes.


    December 14, 2005

    By Molly Selvin and Claire Hoffman, Times Staff Writers


    The first present Kellen Cox received on her 24th birthday was a set of six drink coasters that came in the mail - each bearing the recipe of an exotic cocktail.

    One concoction, the Crazy Bootlegger, called for a shot each of Jack Daniel's, Southern Comfort and Sambuca. "Mix three shots together over ice, then make sure you're sitting," the coaster urged.

    The gift giver was no friend, or even a liquor company. It was tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds, promoting its Camel brand of cigarettes by sending the coasters as birthday presents to people in their 20s. The marketing campaign is drawing fire from state authorities and liquor distillers.

    Critics say the coasters are part of a grass-roots marketing campaign to associate Camel cigarettes with trendy cocktails - and encourage young people to drink. California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer on Tuesday joined his counterparts in Maryland and New York, along with the alcoholic beverage industry, in condemning the campaign.

    The high alcohol content of the drink recipes, as well as the accompanying boozy messages, will "blatantly encourage irresponsible and excessive consumption of alcohol," Lockyer said.

    Touting a drink called After Dark - equal parts Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream and Licor 43 - one coaster says, "Layer it on, go 'til daybreak." Others advise, "Kiss your worries goodbye" and "Pour over ice, then let it burn."

    Cox, a public relations major at the University of Texas at Arlington, figures she ended up on the company's mailing list last year when a tobacco company employee approached her in a bar and persuaded her to fill out a form.

    "I was drunk, and they said, 'We'll give you free stuff,' " she recalled.

    Cox conceded that the promotion was clever - she smokes only when she drinks.

    "Marketing-wise, it's very smart," Cox said.

    Reynolds has long been accused by anti-smoking and health activists of targeting youth. The company dropped ads featuring the Joe Camel cartoon character in 1997 after the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with unfair advertising practices.

    In 2004 the company agreed to pay an $11.4-million penalty to end a suit by Lockyer accusing the cigarette maker of marketing to teens by advertising Camel and other brands in magazines such as InStyle, Spin and Hot Rod.

    But Maura Payne, vice president of communications for Reynolds, said the company was being wrongly accused over the latest campaign. It sends the drink promotion only to people who had identified themselves as smokers - by accepting free samples at a Reynolds-sponsored event, for example - and only after independently verifying they are legally entitled to drink, she said.

    As part of the tobacco industry's landmark 1998 settlement with states that barred advertising to minors, bars are among the few places companies can pass out free cigarettes, Payne said, because they are off-limits to children.

    Payne declined to say how many people have received the Reynolds mailing.

    Although the birthday greetings program began in January, the attorneys general got involved late last month after a Maryland resident lodged a complaint with the office of state Atty. Gen. J. Joseph Curran Jr., according to Lockyer's spokesman, Tom Dresslar. "It kind of snowballed from there," Dresslar said.

    Payne said the promotion was slated to end in April 2006, although that date was "currently being reviewed internally" in response to the complaint from attorneys general.

    Marvin Goldberg, a business professor at Pennsylvania State University, said Reynolds was using a self-perpetuating style of marketing to promote smoking by touting alcoholic drinks.

    "This is the perfect setup for viral marketing," he said. The coasters introduce the "virus," he said, tacitly encourage young people - including underage friends and family members of those who receive the coasters - to drink and smoke.

    Yet "the tobacco industry isn't anywhere around," Goldberg said. "They can say: 'It's not us. Their friends got them to smoke.' "

    John Pellinghelli, a classmate of Cox's at UT Arlington who is studying marketing, agrees that the campaign is clever.

    "They've obviously been doing some research," said Pellinghelli, 21.

    "I think if you ask anybody my age, most of those who don't smoke will still smoke a cigarette if they are drinking. I think it's pretty common."

    Among the strongest critics of the Camel campaign are makers of the alcohol products named on the drink coasters. The industry - which also has faced accusations of trying to lure minors with advertisements - accused Reynolds of not only marketing to minors, but misusing their trademarks.

    Peter Cressy, president of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said Tuesday that he was outraged by the "unauthorized, irresponsible campaign condoning excessive, illegal drinking."

    "The spirits brands highlighted in the R.J. Reynolds marketing promotion were included without the knowledge, consent or participation of any spirits company," he said, adding that his industry "does not condone any marketing materials that glorify drunkenness and illegal, underage consumption."

    Brad Haas, a student from Thousand Oaks majoring in pre-med at UCLA, said he didn't receive coasters or any other promotional material when he turned 21 in February. But he's disturbed by the idea of tobacco companies targeting people his age through the mail.

    "It's troublesome to know that these companies are stalking you and trying to get your information," Haas said. But "as the older generation of smokers are dying off, I guess you have to get new customers who are young."

    Abstract
    Background.
    Clinical guidelines for smoking cessation may not be sufficient for helping some subgroups of smokers quit. Incorporating smoking cessation into home-based medical care can proactively reach high-risk smokers who may not have access to (or spontaneously seek) smoking cessation.

    Method.
    Home health care nurses (N = 98) were randomly assigned to deliver either Motivational Enhancement (ME; Motivational Interviewing + Carbon Monoxide Feedback) or Standard Care (AHCPR Guidelines for smoking cessation) to their patients. Seventy percent of patients were eligible and willing to participate (N = 273; 54% female, mean age = 57 years, 83% Caucasian, 41% 0.05). ME reported more quit attempts and significantly greater reductions in the number of cigarettes smoked per day at all follow-ups through 12 months of post-treatment (all P values < 0.05).

    Conclusions.
    Use of an existing public health channel such as home health care to reach smokers who vary in their motivation to quit could have the potential for large public health impact.

    Abstract
    Background.
    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) forms an increasing health problem. Despite smoking cessation improving the prognosis of the disease, many patients persist smoking. The present study presents the results of a smoking cessation counseling protocol in general practice (Smoking Cessation in patients with COPD in general practice (SMOCC)).

    Methods.
    A randomized controlled trial of patients with COPD compared smoking cessation counseling according to an intensified minimal intervention strategy with usual care. In total 43 general practices with 392 patients participated in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2001-2002.

    Results.
    Significantly more smokers in the experimental group made a quit attempt (44.9% versus 36.5%) and actually quitted smoking than in the control group (16.0% versus 8.8%). The motivation to stop smoking at baseline was not associated with smoking cessation.

    Conclusion.
    The SMOCC strategy doubled the self-reported quit rates and was complied well by the general practitioners. Implementation in general practice is recommended.

    Canada: Are hookahs really a harmless indulgence?
    >> online version <<
    Are hookahs really a harmless indulgence? - (Toronto) Globe & Mail
    By ANDRÉ PICARD

    Tuesday, December 13, 2005

    >From Tuesday's Globe and Mail



    MONTREAL - Orange, cherry, strawberry, apple, guava, coconut, mint and even house blends like "After Eight": The menu reads like that of a chi-chi tea house, or an upscale gelato bar.
    But the sweet delights being offered up at Montreal's Hookah Lounge are all flavoured tobaccos -- the latest indulgence of young trendsetters across North America.

    "It tastes so sweet, and it's really, really relaxing," says Roxanne Martin, a 20-year-old university student. "It's also a lot more sociable than just having a cigarette."

    Ms. Martin is sitting on comfy cushions with three other friends, laughing, drinking and smoking in the St. Denis Street bar.

    The foursome is smoking cherry-flavoured tobacco from a large hookah pipe sitting on the table. Each has a long tube with a filter tip, and they are absentmindedly sucking in the smoke as they talk.

    "I'm not a smoker, but I like sheesha," says François Guérin, a 23-year-old psychology major. "The smoke isn't harsh like a cigarette, and it's not bad for your health because the toxins are filtered out."

    Hookah, a centuries-old practice (which also goes by the names sheesha and arguileh) is a glorified form of smoking a water pipe. Flavoured tobacco is burned on red-hot coals and the smoke is inhaled after passing through cooling water, all of it contained in an elaborately artful brass receptacle.

    Many believe the water filters out the health-damaging byproducts of smoking, such as nicotine, tar and other carcinogens.

    But new research shows that is not true.

    "Water filters out nicotine a little bit, but not entirely," said Rima Nakkash, a tobacco researcher at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "There is an alarming amount of tar and smokers are inhaling a tremendous amount of carbon monoxide.

    "We need to correct the misconception about the safety of arguileh," she said.

    Ms. Nakkash said that while cigarette smoking has become an anti-social habit, hookah smoking is very sociable. As a result, people will smoke virtually non-stop for hours, which more than makes up for the small amount of nicotine that is filtered out.

    "There's an end point to a cigarette but there's no end point to arguileh. The evening can just go on and on."

    The popularity of hookah bars, however, could be short-lived -- at least in Canada. Many municipalities have adopted tough anti-smoking bylaws that have been interpreted as applying to all forms of tobacco smoking. Still, in some communities, bars owner can sidestep the rules by setting up rooms for private parties where hookah smoking can take place.

    In Quebec, where bars will not be smoke free until January of 2007, there is an exemption for lounges (such as cigar-tasting facilities) and hookah-bar owners believe they will be allowed to remain open under those provisions.

    Meanwhile, Ms. Martin and her friends while away a whole evening in the Hookah Lounge, ordering up "coals" (20-gram packages) of flavoured tobacco along with pitchers of sangria. Each package of tobacco costs $7.50 -- the student price, which is less than a pack of cigarettes (the regular price is $11.50) -- and lasts almost an hour.

    They've come for the atmosphere to the bar with the hookah-smoking Santa painted on the front window, Ms. Martin said.

    The crowd here is young and laidback; there are comfortable lounge chairs and pillows, along with background music, and remarkably smoke-free air.

    "I've invested in a good ventilation system," said Patrick St. Onge, the youthful owner of the Hookah Lounge. "I know that my clients come here for the ambience."

    In fact, hookah smoking has become trendy precisely because the practice has moved out of the more traditional confines of mostly Middle Eastern cafés and into urban bars.

    That worries Linda Waverley, program manager of research for international tobacco control at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa, which is sponsoring research on the burgeoning hookah habit.

    "These machines are quite attractive and fascinating, and there's a whole mythology built up around their safety," she said. "This is a form of smoking that is really being targeted at youth, and that's disturbing."

    Monique Chaaya, an associate professor in the faculty of health sciences at the American University of Beirut, said young people are attracted to hookah smoking because it tends to be cheaper. That's because tobacco is imported -- and sometimes smuggled in -- and not subject to punitive taxes or to health warnings on packages.

    In the Middle East, where there were long social prohibitions, women are now taking up the habit, including large numbers of pregnant women, according research done by Dr. Chaaya.

    But she said the principal selling point of hookah, in both the developing and developed world, is that it is not viewed in the same way as other forms of tobacco consumption. "You look down on someone who smokes cigarettes but it's still socially acceptable to smoke arguileh," she said. "It's considered charming and adventurous." With a sigh, she added: "Anti-smoking activists have some education work to do, particularly with young people."

    Abstract
    Background.
    Pregnant women suffer from sleep disturbance, which may be aggravated by smoking and/or drinking. We investigate here the joint effect of smoking and drinking with respect to sleep disturbance during pregnancy.

    Methods.
    Survey of about 16,000 pregnant women in Japan, conducted in 2002 using a self-administered questionnaire.

    Results.
    Both smoking and drinking increased the odds of sleep disturbances, such as subjective insufficient sleep, difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep, early-morning awakening, short sleep duration, excessive daytime sleepiness and restless legs syndrome. The joint odds ratios for smoking and drinking corresponded more or less to the products of the odds ratio for smoking or drinking.

    Conclusion.
    Smoking and drinking are independently associated with increased sleep disturbance during pregnancy, in addition to their other well-known side-effects.

    Zimbabwe: Africa Tobacco scoops entrepreneur award

    Quotable quote:

    David Zanamwe, managing director, Africa Tobacco, The Herald: "So far the response from the (domestic) market has been overwhelming, which means quite a lot to us as we are one of the first black-owned cigarette manufacturers in this country. It was a case of going against all odds and coming up with innovative solutions to overcome the challenges that we faced and it is our hope that in the near future we will be talking of something big."

    Africa Tobacco scoops entrepreneur award - The Herald

    December 13, 2005

    Business Reporter

    AFRICA Tobacco, a wholly owned indigenous cigarette manufacturer, looks set to make a breakthrough on to the regional export market after making a name for itself on the domestic market.

    After only a year in the tobacco business the company has already received wide recognition in the industry after lifting Empretec's Entrepreneur of the Year award last week.

    The awards were held to honour emerging entrepreneurs that performed above expectations in the past year.

    Operating under the Leaf and Flavour Extracts (L & Fe) brand, Africa Tobacco is involved in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of cigarettes and plans are underway to launch five more products under the brand name.

    In an interview with the Herald Business, managing director Mr David Zanamwe said Africa Tobacco entered the market at a difficult time but had managed to defy the odds staked against them.

    "So far the response from the (domestic) market has been overwhelming, which means quite a lot to us as we are one of the first black-owned cigarette manufacturers in this country.

    "It was a case of going against all odds and coming up with innovative solutions to overcome the challenges that we faced and it is our hope that in the near future we will be talking of something big," said Mr Zanamwe.

    Marketing and sales director Mr Kennedy Mwedziwendira said that focus was now on adding value to the raw tobacco by turning it into quality cigarettes for the export market, to generate the much needed foreign cur- rency.

    Plans are already underway to export cigarettes to regional markets such as Mozambique, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of Congo among other sub-Saharan countries. This was the first step towards expanding into international arena.

    Exports to the region had been scheduled to start next year.

    Mr Mwedziwendira added that Africa Tobacco would in 2006 seek to establish its own manufacturing plant as it was currently using facilities owned by a third party.

    The company was incorporated in July 2003 when executive chairman Mr Michael Masuku, managing director Mr Zanamwe, marketing and sales director Mr Mwedziwendira and operations director Mr Kenneth Fararira joined hands.

    The four have more than 40 years' combined experience in the tobacco industry and that was main their strength and launching pad to the birth of the company.

    With the help of more than US$500 000 from private investors, they were able to jumpstart operations in January this year. The company has not looked back ever since.

    Africa Tobacco's long-term vision was to garner a significant stake of the world tobacco market by 2023, said Mr Zanamwe.

    Philip Morris branches out - Richmond Times-Dispatch
    Firm undertakes its first nontobacco product; device treats lung disorders

    Dec 13, 2005

    BY JOHN REID BLACKWELL
    TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER


    The nation's largest cigarette company is getting into the business of treating lung disorders.

    Richmond-based Philip Morris USA said yesterday that a research-focused division of the company, Chrysalis Technologies, has agreed to work with a Pennsylvania biotechnology company to develop therapies for lung disorders such as respiratory distress in premature infants.

    The alliance between the companies centers on a mechanical device developed by Chrysalis Technologies that can deliver drugs in an aerosol form deep into the lungs, making it an effective tool for treating certain lung disorders.

    Although not directly related to Philip Morris USA's cigarette business, the device is an outgrowth of the company's years of research on potentially less-harmful tobacco products. Chrysalis was founded in 2000 as a subsidiary of Philip Morris USA's parent company Altria Group Inc. to determine whether technologies the company had discovered that were not applicable to its tobacco business were commercially viable.

    The venture is Philip Morris USA's first into a nontobacco business as the company looks to broaden its potential sales beyond the slowly declining U.S. cigarette market.

    Jennifer Golisch, a Philip Morris USA spokeswoman, said the Chrysalis venture does not affect the company's tobacco business and is not part of its growth strategy for that business. "This alliance offers us the opportunity to develop our aerosol-generation technology with a new class of pulmonary medicine products," Golisch said.

    Philip Morris employs more than 6,400 people in the Richmond area. Chrysalis, which is based in Chesterfield County and became a division of Philip Morris in January, has been working quietly on the aerosol device and holds more than 40 patents on the technology. The number of employees was not disclosed.

    Under the agreement announced yesterday, Chrysalis will work with Discovery Laboratories Inc., a Warrington, Pa.-based biotechnology company, to fine-tune the device for specific therapeutic uses.

    Robert J. Capetola, president and chief executive officer of Discovery Laboratories, said the biotech company has been evaluating the Chrysalis device for more than a year. Discovery Labs plans to conduct clinical trials next year, using its drugs in combination with the Chrysalis device to treat respiratory distress in premature infants.

    Capetola said the Chrysalis technology is more effective than current methods for delivering surfactants, which are substances that are produced naturally in the lungs and are essential for breathing. Respiratory-distress syndrome occurs in premature babies whose lungs are too immature to produce surfactants.

    Each year, about 70,000 infants in the United States and nearly 500,000 worldwide suffer from respiratory distress, Capetola said. With the Chrysalis technology, "we now have the possibility of delivering surfactants into the lungs without putting patients on mechanical ventilation," he said.

    The technology might also be useful in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma, cystic fibrosis and acute lung injury, Capetola said. The potential market exceeds $1 billion, he said, but it may be three years before a product is commercially available.

    The deal would provide Chrysalis with royalties based on sales, but its share was not disclosed. Discovery Labs is responsible for regulatory approvals and the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of the product.

    Using a technology developed by a cigarette company for treating respiratory disorders does raise ethical questions, said Alfred Munzer, a pulmonologist at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, Md., and a past president of the American Lung Association.

    "I think it does matter," where the product comes from, Munzer said. "I think we like our medical products to come from companies that hold the highest ethical standards. Anything that has the name Philip Morris attached to it makes me skeptical, since they have been in the business of creating lung disease rather than curing it."

    Capetola said his company considered the ethical questions "extensively" but decided to go with the Chrysalis device because "our scientists and engineers told us that the Chrysalis technology is the best."

    "We think we have a duty to our patients to develop drugs that can help them better than any other technology, and if the Chrysalis technology can do that, then that is what we are going to use," he said.

    Steven M. Donn, a professor of pediatrics and director of neonatal-perinatal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System, said what matters is how well the treatment works.

    "If I am the parent of a premature baby with respiratory distress and somebody tells me my baby could have a better outcome with less risk of a lifelong injury, then I don't care who makes the device," said Donn, who has served on a scientific advisory board for Discovery Laboratories.

    CSR Business as Usual? The Case of the Tobacco Industry

    Abstract Tobacco companies have started to position themselves as good corporate citizens. The effort towards CSR engagement in the tobacco industry is not only heavily criticized by anti-tobacco NGOs. Some opponents such as the the World Health Organization have even categorically questioned the possibility of social responsibility in the tobacco industry. The paper will demonstrate that the deep distrust towards tobacco companies is linked to the lethal character of their products and the dubious behavior of their representatives in recent decades. As a result, tobacco companies are not in the CSR business in the strict sense. Key aspects of mainstream CSR theory and practice such as corporate philanthropy, stakeholder collaboration, CSR reporting and self-regulation, are demonstrated to be ineffective or even counterproductive in the tobacco industry. Building upon the terminology used in the leadership literature, the paper proposes to differentiate between transactiona! l and transformational CSR arguing that tobacco companies can only operate on a transactional level. As a consequence, corporate responsibility in the tobacco industry is based upon a much thinner approach to CSR and has to be conceptualized with a focus on transactional integrity across the tobacco supply chain.
    Keywords CSR - corporate philanthropy - organizational legitimacy - tobacco industry - the common good - integrity - transactional CSR - transformational CSR

    US: Illinois: PM/Altria: State Supreme Court ruling due in multi-billion 'lights' suit; Shares rally
    >> online version <<
    Philip Morris awaits Thursday ruling - CNN Money/Reuters
    Illinois Supreme Court to decide on $10.1B 'light' cigarette verdict against company's Altria unit.

    December 13, 2005

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - The Illinois Supreme Court is scheduled to rule Thursday on a $10.1 billion verdict against Philip Morris USA in a case in which the largest U.S. cigarette manufacturer was found to have fooled smokers into thinking "light" cigarettes were healthier than regular smokes.

    The schedule for the anticipated ruling was announced Monday on the court's Web site.

    The initial $10.1 billion judgment in the class-action case was handed down against the unit of Altria Group Inc. (up $0.30 to $72.51, Research) by a trial court judge in March 2003. The Supreme Court took the unusual step of bypassing the appellate court and hearing the case on appeal directly from the trial court.

    Arguments were heard in November 2004, and investors and analysts have been awaiting a ruling since.

    The case is one of the major legal issues that Altria Chairman Louis Camilleri has said needs to be resolved before the company executes plans to break Altria into two or three separate companies, splitting Altria's Kraft Foods Inc. (up $0.31 to $29.53, Research) business from the U.S. and international tobacco units.

    The scheduling of the ruling could give Altria's shares a lift even before the actual ruling is released Thursday, Bonnie Herzog, tobacco analyst at Citigroup Investment Research, said in a research note.

    "We believe the probability that Philip Morris wins the appeal is over 75 percent," she said. "Therefore, we recommend investors maintain a long position in the stock heading into a decision, since we expect the upside in the stock could be over 10 percent on Thursday."
    Altria stock has gained 22 percent over the past year, in part because of anticipation of the possible breakup of the company once the U.S. litigation landscape clears.

    NZ: Tobacco-flavoured dessert gives 'undeniable buzz', but ruled impermissible
    >> online version <<
    Tobacco-flavoured dessert gives 'undeniable buzz' - Otago Daily Times
    14 December 2005
    By CELIA WILLIAMS

    A Wanaka chef's idea to create a tobacco-flavoured ice cream has gone up in smoke thanks to food safety regulations.


    Andrew Spiegel, head chef of Sargood's Restaurant at Edgewater Resort, has spent the past few months concocting a smoked vanilla and tobacco ice cream for a seven-course tasting menu, after wanting to cater for nicotine lovers dining out, and having been inspired by reading A Cook's Tour, by chef Anthony Bourdin.

    In A Cook's Tour, Bourdin ("a degenerate smoker") is served tobacco-infused custard as part of a 20-course meal.

    Mr Spiegel, a "reformed smoker", has long been frustrated by smokers leaving the table for a cigarette, which he says interrupts the flow of a meal.

    "We always talked about doing something for smokers. . . I was always curious about trying to do a smoked ice cream."

    After the birth of his daughter five months ago, Mr Spiegel found some leftover celebratory Cuban cigars, and decided to give it a try.

    He set about perfecting his recipe, which involved smoking vanilla pods and cream, as well as pinot noir canes - sprinkling in a little bit of tobacco from a cigar. Then he infused the rest of the cigar in milk.

    The first batch "tasted like a dirty ashtray", but the third attempt was much nicer. He received positive responses to all three batches.

    "I loved it the final batch. It was sweet ice cream but at the same time you got an undeniable buzz."

    He had no urge to return to the habit after eating the ice cream, he said.

    After tastings by some staff members, the question was raised whether it was legal to serve food containing nicotine.

    "The main issue, I'm sure, would be the rate of transfer of nicotine in a moist environment, as opposed to an incineration."

    He thought it might be acceptable to impose an age restriction on the dessert - as there is on any packet of cigarettes.

    Mr Spiegel approached the New Zealand Food Safety Authority, which advised him that tobacco was prohibited from food because of health risks - arguably promoting the smoking of tobacco - and therefore must not be intentionally added to foods.

    "But it's not an illegal substance - it's a legally purchasable and usable substance for adults.

    "I'm curious to know what other rules are out there, and who enforces this."

    Nevertheless, he has resolved to "smile and move on", and create another smoke-flavoured ice cream - this time without the tobacco.

    He is working on a dessert called One Fat Cop - complete with doughnuts, espresso jelly, cigarette-shaped cookies and his new smoked vanilla ice cream - to match "Hollywood's perception or portrayal of police".

    US: California: Tobacco tax hike alliance calls for significant increases
    >> online version <<
    CALIFORNIA
    Tobacco tax hike alliance - San Francisco Chronicle
    2 groups combine on ballot measure
    Lynda Gledhill, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau

    Wednesday, December 14, 2005

    Sacramento -- Backers of two competing tobacco tax initiatives announced an agreement Tuesday to work together to support a $2.60 increase in the state's tobacco tax for the November 2006 ballot.

    If approved by voters, the measure would make California's tax on a pack of cigarettes the highest in the nation. The tax is now 87 cents and has not been increased since 1998.

    The détente averts a fight in which hospital groups tried to push a $1.50 tax increase while children's groups and anti-tobacco groups were planning their own $1.50 tax hike.

    "The parties recognized that the best chance for success would be with a combined effort," said Jim Knox, legislative advocate for the American Cancer Society.

    About half of the $2.27 billion expected to be raised annually will go for treatment programs such as emergency care services and nursing education, while about 40 percent of the funds will go toward disease prevention, including providing health insurance for all children in the state.

    "This is a landmark advance for all Californians," said Duane Dauner, president of the California Hospital Association. "It's not just a program designed for hospitals or the others in the coalition -- it is an initiative that contains broad, sweeping changes in funding for programs that are essential to all Californians."

    A spokesman for Phillip Morris USA said the proposed tax is excessive.

    "Excessive cigarette taxes can have unintended consequences," said spokesman Bill Phelps. "That includes illegal activity such as smuggling from states with a different tax rate and the sale of counterfeit cigarettes."

    Phelps said it's estimated that California already loses hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to illegal cigarette sales. The initiative sets aside $20 million to increase enforcement to prevent black-market sales of cigarettes.

    The health groups said the agreement was reached after 11 days of intense negotiations mediated by former Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat.

    Monday would have been the deadline for the hospital industry to submit the 1 million signatures it had gathered to qualify its initiative for the June ballot. Dauner said the group spent about $4 million on that effort, but said "the solution was more important than what we spent."

    Because the total amount of the proposed new tax is less than what each side would have received if the separate initiatives had both succeeded, some compromises were made.

    "When we came back together, we decided the big picture was more important than any individual program," Dauner said. "We all had to make sacrifices, but I don't think any of the programs suffered."

    The proposed tax serves two benefits in the eyes of supporters: It provides needed money to vital health programs, and it will depress cigarette sales.

    "This tobacco tax will save lives. It will prevent children from becoming addicted to tobacco," said Paul Knepprath, vice president of the American Lung Association of California. "We know increasing the tobacco tax is one of the most effective ways to stop kids from smoking."

    Supporters said the tobacco tax revenue is calculated to decline about 7 percent annually. The expected decline in revenue will inevitably mean less money for the programs, supporters acknowledge.

    "This is not a panacea," said Knox. "It's important to remember that to a great degree these funds will be augmenting existing programs."

    The initiative also allocated $162 million a year to offset any loss of revenue to Proposition 10 programs. Proposition 10, approved by voters in 1998, added a tax of 50 cents per pack to fund early childhood education.



    Tax breakdown
    A proposed $2.60 per pack tax increase on cigarettes would raise an estimated $2.27 billion a year. Here's how the money would be spent:

    -- Hospital emergency care ($828 million)

    -- Nursing education ($100 million)

    -- Community clinics ($64 million)

    -- Emergency room physicians ($72 million)

    -- Physician education (($8 million)

    -- Prostate cancer treatment ($19 million)

    -- Tobacco cessation programs ($19 million)

    -- Children's health insurance ($405 million)

    -- Tobacco education and enforcement ($194 million)

    -- Cancer, heart, asthma prevention ($292 million)

    -- Cancer- and tobacco-related disease research ($105 million)

    -- Early childhood education programs approved by Proposition 10 ($162 million)

    Shizuoka City to ban smoking by pedestrians after asthmatic's plea - Japan Today

    Wednesday, December 14, 2005

    SHIZUOKA - Mayor Zenkichi Kojima of Shizuoka City said Tuesday the municipal government will institute a smoking ban on pedestrians after hearing a plea by a 12-year-old boy with asthma who spearheaded a petition campaign.

    Yuta Oishi, a freshman at a local junior high school, called for an ordinance to impose a ban at a civic committee meeting of the city assembly on Dec 6. The plea was adopted unanimously. Oishi and others collected around 24,000 signatures in support of a ban in the city, which has a population of 700,000. The date when the ban will start has not been decided.

    Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Exposure in Florence Hospitality Venues Before and After the Smoking Ban in Italy

    Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine. 47(12):1208-1210, December 2005.

    Gorini, Giuseppe MD; Gasparrini, Antonio DSc; Fondelli, Maria Cristina DSc; Costantini, Adele Seniori MD; Centrich, Francesc DSc; Lopez, Maria Jose DSc; Nebot, Manel MD; Tamang, Elizabeth MD

    To the Editor: We read with interest the paper by Repace1 presenting an air quality study conducted for the first time before and after a statewide smoking ban in eight Delaware hospitality venues with real-time measures of respirable suspended particles (RSP) and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAH). Postban levels of RSP ranged from 2.5% to 25% of preban values and averaged 9.4%, whereas postban PPAH concentration ranged from 0.5% to 11% of preban levels and averaged 4.7%. Thus, approximately 90% of RSP and 95% of PPAH can be attributed to tobacco smoke.

    A law banning smoking in enclosed public places entered into force in Italy on January 10, 2005.2 Italy has become the third European country to introduce a smoking ban, following Ireland and Norway. We measured nicotine vapor phase in pubs and discos before and after the smoking ban in Italy. Nicotine was measured using passive samplers, which comprise a plastic cassette (with a windscreen in one side) containing a filter treated with sodium bisulfate (diameter of 37 mm). The samplers were used as personal monitor in four pubs and three discos in Florence. The samplers had to be clipped for approximately 4 hours to a shirt collar or lapel, with the windscreen facing out, away from the clothes. For each venue, two samples before and two after the smoking ban were collected (Table 1). Discos and pubs were selected at random from a sampling universe list. The filters were analyzed at the Laboratory of Barcelona by the gas chromatography (GC/MS) method. The lower limit of detec! tion is 0.01 g/mL. The nicotine concentration (g/m3) was obtained by dividing the observed nicotine concentration by the flow rate (24 mL/min) and allowing for the time the filter had been exposed. The method has been previously validated by Hammond et al3 and used in several studies.4

    Before the smoking ban, nicotine concentrations ranged from 33.0 to 276.5 g/m3 with a median value of 138.9 g/m3. After the smoking ban, concentrations ranged from 1.7 to 8.7 g/m3 with a median value of 4.5 g/m3. Postban levels of nicotine ranged from 0.9% to 5.9% of preban values and averaged 3.2% (Table 1).

    The median value before the smoking ban (138.9 g/m3) translates (using the formula of Repace and Lowery5) into a lifetime excess lung cancer mortality rate for hospitality industry workers of 180 per 10,000, and the median value after the smoking ban (4.5 g/m3) into an estimate of six per 10,000 with a decrease in lifetime excess of 97%.

    This is the first study on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in hospitality premises before and after the smoking ban in Italy. Results of this study confirm those of Repace's air quality study,1 even if in Delaware hospitality venues, different ETS markers were measured. Thus, a nationwide smoking ban can determine a reduction of approximately 90% to 95% of ETS exposure in hospitality venues, the most ETS-polluted public areas.

    More studies are required to monitor the compliance of a nationwide smoking ban for a longer time.

    Gorini et al1 report a 90% to 95% reduction in environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) nicotine concentrations in four pubs and three discos in Florence, following Italy's countrywide smoking ban, in agreement with the pollution reduction reported in a hospitality industry investigation in eight venues using two other atmospheric markers for ETS, respirable suspended particles (RSP), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), after Wilmington, Delaware's smoking ban in the United States in 2002.2 These data are also in agreement with data taken in 20 hospitality venues in Western New York State by Travers et al,3 which found an 84% reduction in RSP after New York's statewide smoking ban in 2003. Gorini et al1 also estimate a 40-year working lifetime risk of lung cancer mortality for pub and disco workers from ETS exposure at 18 per 1000, associated with a median nicotine concentration of 138.9 g/m3, using the risk model of Repace and Lowrey.4 Adjusted to a 45-year regulatory wor! king lifetime, this level of excess ETS-induced risk is an estimated 20 times the "significant risk of material impairment of health" level used by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in regulating serious workplace hazards. An ETS-RSP risk model derived by Repace and Lowrey4 may also be applied to the Wilmington and Western New York data, which had mean estimated ETS-RSP levels of 220 g/m3 and 299 g/m3, respectively, using an ETS-RSP exposure-response relationship of 75 g/m3 daily average for a 40-year working lifetime average ETS-RSP exposure equating to one death per 1000. This method yields mean estimated 45-year working lifetime lung cancer mortality risks of approximately four per 1000 hospitality industry workers averaged over the 28 U.S. venues. Estimated risk of ETS-induced heart disease mortality is 10 times higher than for lung cancer.5 Air pollution from ETS is far worse than that generated by heavy traffic. 4,6 Attempts to control ETS by v! entilation or air cleaning require impossible tornado-like levels of a irflow. 7 The study by Gorini et al1 in Italy generalizes the U.S. results, suggesting that hospitality workers in Europe as well as the United States are at very high risk from workplace passive smoking and benefit greatly from total workplace smoking bans.

These were female patients who never smoked who had a diagnosis of COPD and were seen at the Cumhuriyet University Hospital in Sivas, Turkey, between January 1, 2001, and March 31, 2002. The control group consisted of 74 housewives; this group consisted of healthy women who never smoked who came to the hospital as visitors and who did not have the diagnosis of COPD. The control group was chosen by group matching of the age distribution of the women in the case group and the regions and the neighborhoods where they lived.. All of the women in the case and control groups were evaluated with a questionnaire for exposure to wood ashes, biomass, and cigarette smoke in closed areas.

    Results
    No difference was found in the groups for exposure to wood ashes (p > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis resulted in the following odds ratio of COPD estimate for women with ? 30 years biomass exposure, 6.61 (95% Confidence interral [CI]: 2.17-20.18); for women with ? 30 years cigarette smoke exposure, 4.96 (95% CI: 1.65-14.86).

    Conclusion
    A statistically significant correlation was found between the effect of ? 30 years of exposure to biomass and cigarette smoke exposure and the development of COPD.

    Key words: COPD; Housewives; Biomass; Cigarette Smoke

    Selected Abbreviations and Acronyms: COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; OR, odds ratio

    China: Shanghai: Cigarette smuggling trial begins
    >> online version <<
    Cigarette smuggling trial starts in Shanghai - China Daily/Xinhuanet

    http://www.chinaview.cn 2005-12-14

    BEIJING, Dec. 14 -- The city's biggest ever cigarette smuggling ring dodged tax of more than 40 million yuan (US$5 million), Shanghai No 1 Intermediate People's Court heard yesterday.

    Twenty-three people, including seven main ringleaders, are accused of shipping in dozens of consignments from South Korea over a two-year period from October, 2002.

    Sun Jiwei, an official from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau under Shanghai Customs, told China Daily that the cigarettes the gang had smuggled were worth up to about 27 million yuan (US$3.3 million).

    They are accused of bringing over 45 separate consignments.

    "They shipped the products first to a designated spot in Wusongkou Water Area and then had them picked up by barges to a dock in Shanghai's suburban Songjiang District," said prosecutor He Wei.

    If convicted, the seven main suspects face being jailed for more than 10 years.

    The opening of the hearing, which was held at the Big Courtroom of the court, attracted around 200 people, including relatives of the accused, police officers and press. It is scheduled to last until tomorrow afternoon.

    The ring was uncovered when the Anti-Smuggling Bureau under Shanghai Customs seized a ship passing boxes of cigarettes to three barges at about midnight on October 14, 2004 in Wusongkou Water Area. Cigarettes worth more than 6 million yuan (US$743,000) were found.

    Following information provided by men on the ship, the bureau arrested Liu Shuqin, Zeng Ling, Shi Yunxiang and several others over the next few days. They were accused of either investing or helping to transport or sell the cigarettes.

    Following a raid at the home of one suspect, Liu Shuqin, detailed records of the previous six smuggling operations, from August to October, 2004, were found. A shipman's diary was later also discovered, which recorded each of the 45 shipments.

"It makes so much sense for all parties," says Prof. John Banzhaf. It appears that the accuser has little chance of convincing a unanimous jury of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; she is reportedly already under great stress from her name being revealed on the Internet and on radio shows, and the fear of even more public disclosures likely to come from pre-trial discovery and relentless probing by defense attorneys as well as the media; and vindication or revenge, even if possible, is unlikely to make up for the harm a trial will cause to her and her child. Also, according to sources, she is considering withdrawing her cooperation with the prosecution, and obtaining her own legal counsel -- both early signs in the Bryant case that some alternative face-saving outcome might be sought, says Banzhaf, who sees a similar outcome in Durham also. Despite what appears to be weak evidence, no defendant would want to face even a small chance of prison time if there were an alternative; even if ultimately successful, a trial would irrevocably sully the reputations of the defendants and put their academic and athletic careers on hold for a year or more; and their families would be required to pay out a small fortune to assure them of the best possible defense. There's just too much downside risk and cost, suggests Banzhaf. The prosecutor is probably realizing that his case and chances of winning are weak, and likely to get weaker as the students' families pour more money into the defense effort, but at the same time he can't afford to look like he made a mistake in seeking the indictments, or in backing down when the going gets tough. If the accuser decided not to cooperate, he -- like the Bryant prosecutor -- could dismiss the proceeding with his head held high, saying that he did everything he could. "Since it appears that the accuser and the defendants may have been drunk at the time, it should not be too hard to work out a carefully worded apology blaming the incident on the effects of too much alcohol, thereby decreasing the perceived culpability of the defendants and providing a plausible explanation if the accuser exaggerated somewhat or was vague or inconsistent on some of her factual allegations," says Banzhaf. Moreover, the defendants' families could settle with the accuser for an amount of money equal to or probably even less than they would expect to spend on a trial -- including lengthy pre-trial discovery, detectives, mock juries and jury consultants, etc. -- at no net cost to themselves. That same amount of money would make a great difference in the life of a woman who was forced to strip to provide for her studies and her child, and help her put her shattered life back in order. "A carefully-worded public apology, her refusal to cooperate in the criminal trial, and a civil settlement -- the route followed in the Bryant case -- is just too good a deal for all parties not to at least consider. Attorneys for all sides would simply not be doing their job for their clients is they weren't at least exploring the possibility of putting a Kobe together in Durham," says Banzhaf. PROF JOHN F.

    Exception Not Cited by Prosecutor Appears Well Established

    Although District Attorney Mike Nifong said that evidence that the complainant's prior accusations of rape may not be admissible under North Carolina's rape shield law because the statute lists only "narrowly defined categories" under which evidence of an accuser's past sexual history is allowed as evidence, there is another exception well recognized in North Carolina which is not listed in the "rape shield" law and which may permit the evidence to be introduced in the Duke rape case.
    SEE AP STORY:  http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/04/28/D8H93TA80.html

    Several North Caroline decisions recognize that evidence that a complainant has made rape accusations in the past may be introduced in a new rape trial, notwithstanding the State's rape shield law, if the defense attorney can show that the prior accusations were false.  Moreover, says law professor John Banzhaf, the cases seem to indicate that the defense should be permitting to introduce evidence showing that the prior accusations were false.

    For example, in State v Baron (1982), the Court of Appeals of North Carolina ruled:
    "Defense counsel sought only to introduce evidence of the prior allegedly false statements for impeachment purposes and advised the court of their intent. We believe that the Legislature intended to exclude the actual sexual history of the complainant, not prior accusations of the complainant."

    In a later case the same court said: "The common element in both Baron and Durham was the presence of some evidence tending to show that the previous accusations of sexual misconduct were false. (The Baron defendant was erroneously prohibited from introducing testimony that the prior accusations were false.) No evidence in the case sub judice was introduced from which the trial court could conclude that the allegations were false. The prosecutrix's recollection as to the disposition of the charges was inadequate to reach such a conclusion."

    In another case the same court declared: "Rather, the present case is more analogous to State v. Anthony where this Court affirmed the trial court's exclusion of evidence of the victim's previous accusations of sexual abuse against her father and stepfather. Although the charges were dismissed in that case, this Court reasoned that the dismissal of the charges did not show that the victim's allegations were false. Just as there was no evidence of false allegations in Anthony, here, there is no evidence that the victim's allegations were false. Therefore, the trial court did not err in excluding evidence of the victim's prior allegation of sexual abuse."

    In another case articulating the same reasoning, the court said: "The State argued at oral argument that the situation in this case is similar to Anthony. We disagree. However, we are guided by the way in which the Anthony Court distinguished both Baron and Durham. In Anthony, this Court held that the factor that distinguished Baron and Durham was the existence of prior evidence tending to show that the previous sexual misconduct was false   This Court upheld the conviction because "no evidence . . . was introduced from which  the trial court could conclude that the allegations were false."  In contrast, Watkins and McCarroll attempted to introduce evidence showing the previous accusations to be false, but the trial court completely foreclosed this avenue of  inquiry."

    Thus, says Prof. Banzhaf, although Nifong failed to mention it, there may well be a legal basis to introduce evidence that the current complainant made accusations of rape in the past, especially if those accusations can be shown to be false, and the defendants should be allowed to make such a showing, even though this does not appear in the four narrow exceptions under the Rape Shield law [ N.C. Gen. Stat. § 8C-1, Rule 412] which are set forth below:

    (a) As used in this rule, the term "sexual behavior" means sexual activity of the complainant other than the sexual act which is at issue in the indictment on trial.

    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the sexual behavior of the complainant is irrelevant to any issue in the prosecution unless such behavior:

       (1) Was between the complainant and the defendant; or

       (2) Is evidence of specific instances of sexual behavior offered for the purpose of showing that the act or acts charged were not committed by the defendant; or

       (3) Is evidence of a pattern of sexual behavior so distinctive and so closely resembling the defendant's version of the alleged encounter with the complainant as to tend to prove that such complainant consented to the act or acts charged or behaved in such a manner as to lead the defendant reasonably to believe that the complainant consented; or

       (4) Is evidence of sexual behavior offered as the basis of expert psychological or psychiatric opinion that the complainant fantasized or invented the act or acts charged.

    (c) Sexual behavior otherwise admissible under this rule may not be proved by reputation or opinion.

App. LEXIS 2490; North Carolina v McCarroll and Watkins (1993), 428 S.E.2d 229. No subsequent ruling seems to have overruled or even questioned it, says Banzhaf. Thus, says Prof. Banzhaf, although District Attorney Nifong failed to mention it, there may well be a legal basis to introduce evidence that the current complainant made similar accusations of rape in the past, especially if those accusations can be shown to be false.

Thus the widely quoted comments of Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong that the rape shield statute "makes the prior sexual behavior of the victim in a rape prosecution irrelevant unless it falls into one of four narrowly-defined categories . . In short, the jury that decides this case may or may not hear the 'evidence' reported by the Associated Press" is incomplete and misleading, says Banzhaf, noting that the complainant will have to testify, and that evidence that she made a prior very similar claim which was never prosecuted obviously casts doubt on her credibility. Indeed, several North Caroline decisions have ruled that evidence that a complainant has made rape accusations in the past may be introduced in a new rape trial, notwithstanding the State's rape shield law and its limited exceptions, if the defense attorney can show that the prior accusations were false.

    Mr. Michael Callahan, Esq.                BY CERTIFIED MAIL
    SR VP and General Counsel
    YAHOO                            AND BY FAX TO:
    701 1st Ave.
    Sunnyvale, CA 94089                    408-349-3301
    
    
    RE:    Legal Notice of Your Continued Cooperation With Debit Card Fraud
         Name: John F. Banzhaf IV, Bank of America Debit Card:
    
    I write on behalf of my son, JOHN F. BANZHAF IV, to supplement his 
    earlier telephonic notices to your corporation that someone is 
    unlawfully and without his consent using his Bank of America bank debit 
    card to establish accounts and/or make other payments to YAHOO *MAIL , 
    YAHOO * PERSONALS, or YAHOO, and to request your cooperation in 
    identifying the perpetrator.
    
    On 04/28 two different transactions, in the amounts of $19.99 and 
    $24.99, were charged by YAHOO to the above account.  My son promptly 
    notified you by telephone that they were not authorized.
    
    On 04/29 a charge of $19.99 by YAHOO *MAIL, and another charge of $24.95 
    byYAHOO *PERSONALS, were also posted to his account.  My son promptly 
    notified you by telephone that they were not authorized, and requested 
    your cooperation in identifying the perpetrator.
    
    Now, on 05/01, two different charges, each in the amount of $24.95, were 
    posted to his account by YAHOO *PERSONALS.  You were again 
    telephonically advised that these charges were fraudulent.
    
    Please now be formally advised that my son has not, is not, and will not 
    be charging anything to any YAHOO account, product, or service, and that 
    any attempts to do so in his name and by using his debit card are 
    unauthorized and are made by someone impersonating him and acting 
    unlawfully.
    
    You are therefore requested and directed NOT to accept any more such 
    charges and/or to forward them for payment to Bank of America, and to 
    use whatever reasonable techniques are available to identify the 
    perpetrator and to notify me of any information so obtained for use by 
    the authorities.
    
    By a copy of this letter, Bank of America is being notified of this 
    scheme and your continued cooperation with it, and is being requested to 
    take appropriate action.  Complaints may also be filed with the F.T.C. 
    and with the office of Attorney General Tom Reilly, among others.
    
    Yours truly,
    
    
    
    Prof. John F. Banzhaf III, Esq.

A major factor behind the industry's total reversal of policy was legal action, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf who first originated the concept of using legal action as a weapon against obesity, and who both took and consulted on the major legal actions aimed at "liquid candy" in schools behind today's agreement. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/05/03/firms_agree_to_halt_soda_sales_in_schools/ Banzhaf was the first to threaten legal action over the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools, using the threat of litigation against individual school board members to force the Seattle School Board to refuse to renew a five-year so-called "Cokes For Kickbacks" contract under which the school received a percentage of the profits from school soda sales. http://banzhaf.net/obesitylinks.html In 2003, at the first conference on "Legal Approaches to the Obesity Epidemic" which he helped to bring about, Banzhaf helped persuade many of the attendees to begin working on a massive multi-state class action aimed at the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools. Announcements of continuing progress on these law suits pressured Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Cadbury Schweppes, and other members of the American Beverage Association to reverse their previous stance which had denied any relationship between obesity and soda sales in schools, and to agree in August of 2005 to a limited ban on the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools. Today's agreement substantially extends that initial ban. Professor Banzhaf also kept up the pressure by threatening law suits against the nation's school boards and individual school board members over the issue, a move which apparently was a factor in the growing number of schools refusing to sell sodas, and pressuring the bottling companies to release them from contracts. http://banzhaf.net/docs/sodawarn "Today's agreement should soon begin to have a major impact on the epidemic of pediatric obesity, since sodas are the major source of unnecessary calories in the diets of many children, and soda sales in schools encourage unhealthy consumption patterns both inside and outside of schools," says Banzhaf. "The industry's capitulation also shows how legal action can be a powerful force in fighting obesity, pressuring companies to take steps they have steadfastly refused even to consider," says Banzhaf. He notes that six fat law suits have already been successful, and that the threat of litigation has been widely credited with being a major factor in pressuring fast food companies, other food companies, and others to make significant changes aimed at the problem of obesity. "McDonald's decision to end supersizing, the increased disclosure and display of nutritional information by fast food companies, the elimination of trans fat from Oreo cookies, as well as today's decision regarding school soda sales are only a few examples of how legal action can be as effective in fighting obesity as legal action was in fighting smoking," says Banzhaf, who also was the first to use and suggest using legal action against smoking.

Although all of the major bottlers agreed today to stop selling sugary soft drinks in schools, they noted that: "Under the terms of the agreement, the beverage industry will work to spread these standards to 75% of the nation’s schools prior to the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year. The industry will strive to fully implement these guidelines prior to the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, PROVIDED SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE WILLING TO AMEND EXISTING CONTRACTS." [Emphasis added] Public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who first started the movement to use legal action against the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools by forcing the Seattle School Board to back down on such a contract, has sent an email advising school boards that they could be held legally liable if they are not willing to amend their existing contracts to make them consistent with the new agreement announced today. His messages warned: "Because there now exists an overwhelming consensus -- among public health authorities, governmental bodies, and even the bottlers themselves -- that sugary soft drinks should not be sold in schools, and because the bottlers have agreed to stop providing such sugary soft drinks to schools as quickly as school boards agree to modify their existing contracts providing for such sales, it is respectfully suggested and requested that all school boards cooperate as quickly and as fully as possible with this new agreement. If any fail to do so, the lawyers committed to ending the sale of such beverages -- previously by suing the bottlers -- will now be free to turn their attention and legal actions to any recalcitrant school boards and their members. In any such law suit, the school board members would be required to defend their practice of insisting on selling such beverages despite the consensus represented by today's agreement." Banzhaf's email warned that school board members could be held individually liable under a number of different legal tort theories including negligence, intentional torts (which permits the awarding of punitive damages), and breach of fiduciary duty -- the legal theory which was so successful in persuading Seattle School Board members not to renew a "Coke for Kickbacks" contract. "If the major public health authorities, the many governmental bodies which were involved in today's agreement, and the bottlers themselves all agree that it is inappropriate to sell sugary soft drinks in schools, any school board which refuses to amend an existing contact and continues to insist on selling such beverages to an immature captive audience will have a hard time defending its actions in court," argues Banzhaf. "Courts can and will take judicial notice of today's agreement, and put the burden of proof on any school district which continues to insist that selling 'liquid candy' to young children serves the public interest and the interests of the children the law charges them to protect," says Banzhaf.

    In all due respect, you should not criticize this effort, just because it is not the way you would try to communicate information back to the FAMRI audience. The amazing thing we learned from this exercise was that the answers to some factual questions were not so obvious. 
    As I said next year you get to plan this session, in the meantime why don't you put a lid on it!

    Subject: Some Questions About the Profs Panel
    
    With all due respect, I'm not sure what purpose one hopes to accomplish by asking members of the panel simple fact-based questions, and then (presumably) comparing them in some way to the responses to the "simple survey" -- actually more accurately termed a "questionnaire." 
    
    Indeed, this leads to the broader question of what is the purpose of the panel.  If it to be used to try to use the unique resource of a gathering of a dozen or so experts in the field to try to address significant issues and answer important questions (like what are the most effective ways to achieve various goals), the largely fact-based questions seem to add little to the process.
    
    If the purpose is simply to provide amusement for attendees who, after dinner (if it occurs after dinner, we still don't know) are well lubricated (in Jim's words), then it seems to be an extraordinary waste of a unique resource, and of the time of the participants and the FAMRI meeting itself.
    
    If there is some other purpose behind using the answers to largely fact-based questions -- other than that the "survey" was done, and we have the answers, and therefore we feel we have to use them -- in connection with this panel, I wonder if you care to enlighten the panel members?
    
    By the way, I think Alan Blum would make a great moderator, and his questions alone "can do the trick without the 'shtick.'" (in Dick's words)

    	Sorry, My message was sent before I was able to complete it. Please ignore it.  
    	 
    		In light of the concern over the use of the entertaining format that we were going to use for the Famri Professor's Panel Discussion, we have turned the panel discussion into a panel discussion that will be moderated by Alan Blum. 
    	 
    	We will still utilize the responses to a simple survey that has been answered by FAMRI participants as a springboard for discussion. I have pasted the questions to the survey below so you can bring your thoughts about theses questions and the kinds of the larger questions that they may bring to the discussion. We will all see how participants answered these questions. 
    	 
    	While we have 21 questions that have been energetically answered by participants, it is unlikely that we will be able to review them all.  Alan Blum, and organizers will help to form additional questions for the professors to debate dusing the discussion. 
    	 
    	I look forward to a productive and lively discussion.

    MA Highest Court Imposes "Strict Liability" on Manufacturers

    In a landmark decision which could potentially impose ruinous liability on cigarette manufacturers, Massachusetts's highest court has imposed "strict liability" on cigarette manufacturers, making them liable in virtually all cases where normal use of their cigarette causes death.

    This is a vital breakthrough, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, because it is the first such decision by the highest court in a state, because it imposes liability even if the plaintiff was negligent or assumed the risks of smoking, and because Massachusetts is a very influential court whose decisions create important precedents.

    The court's decision to impose such far-reaching liability is based, it noted, on issues of public policy. "[T]he public has the right to and does expect, in the case of products which it needs and for which it is forced to rely upon the seller, that reputable sellers will stand behind their goods; that public policy demands that the burden of accidental injuries caused by products intended for consumption be placed upon those who market them, and be treated as a cost of production against which liability insurance can be obtained; and that the consumer of such products is entitled to the maximum of protection at the hands of someone, and the proper persons who afford it are those who market them...."

    The tobacco industry had argued that it should not be liable because the plaintiff smoked cigarettes despite knowledge of the dangers, and therefore had agreed to use what both sides conceded was an "inherently dangerous product."  However the court said that such smoking was not an unreasonable use because there is virtually no unreasonable use of such a deadly product as cigarettes.

    The court rejected analogies to other produces which pose dangers such as guns, sun tan lotion, and aspirin, saying:

    "These are false analogies. The fallacy in Philip Morris's argument is that in none of these examples, or others it offers, is any reasonable use of the product whatsoever foreclosed by the nature of the product itself. Sugar, suntan oil, guns, and aspirin are not inherently addictive to the general public or incapable of being used reasonably. The Correia defense is available for warranty claims for these products because the defense serves an actual purpose: to deter a consumer from knowingly using a product in a defective and dangerous (as opposed to its ordinary) condition. The consumer has a choice of using a product reasonably or unreasonably, and the defense penalizes the consumer for unreasonable use. It does not presume that the only safe use of a product is nonuse, a position urged on us by Philip Morris but which runs contrary to our entire scheme of commerce."

    "This decision could have a devastating impact on cigarette manufacturers, even if its impact is limited to Massachusetts, because the product kills tens of thousands of people there each year, far more than asbestos, cars, drugs, and virtually all other consumer products combined," says Banzhaf.

    "Moreover, because the state's legal system is so influential that its decisions are frequently followed in other jurisdictions, it opens the door to potential liability for cigarette makers for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year," says Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).

The solution to the problem is not to assume that employees can be forced to obey rules prohibiting the downloading of governmental information, but rather to design the systems to not permit any such information to be downloaded to private computers and other storage media, or at least to strictly limit such downloading, says professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University, the author of an early work on legal liability for bad computer system design. “Since it is reasonably foreseeable that in any large system at least a few employees will seek to download confidential information, and because there's hardly any legitimate reason why they would need such sensitive data on computers other than the agency's secure ones, those who design and maintain the systems are negligent if they permit and indeed facilitate such downloading by providing computer commands to make it possible,” says Banzhaf, a professor of law. In those rare instances where confidential information must be downloaded to private computers and/or other storage media, the downloading should require joint authorization by several high level officials, and then strict security protocols can be enforced and monitored. These limitations should not unduly restrict any legitimate agency activities because such rules would not limit the transfer of information from one agency computer to another, or prevent someone traveling outside the agency to access sensitive information to his laptop’s computer screen with proper identity verification. But it’s hard to see how anyone – much less a mere data analyst – would ever need all that information on his private computer since any data manipulation involving millions of records should be done on the agency’s own computers where it can be carefully monitored, backups and a “audit trail” (log file) maintained, etc. “While many casual computer users may assume from constantly using ‘download’ or ‘copy’ commands that they are inherent in all operating system, nothing is further from the truth.

He adds that the government, like private corporations which likewise have sensetive personal information in their computers, can be held legally liable in negligence if they fail to adopt cost effective and generally accepted methods for dealing with reasonably foreseeable security breaches, loss or corruption of data, etc. From - Tue Sep 05 14:19:02 2006 X-UIDL: 1119294545.1220 X-Mozilla-Status: 0008 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-Path: Received: from rwcrmhc13.comcast.net (rwcrmhc13.comcast.net [204.127.192.83]) by ash.org (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id k4PDLgWW012837 for ; Thu, 25 May 2006 09:21:43 -0400 Received: from [127.0.0.1] (c-68-49-149-162.hsd1.va.comcast.net[68.49.149.162]) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc13) with ESMTP id <20060525132330m1300gj19ee>; Thu, 25 May 2006 13:23:30 +0000 Message-ID: <4475AFD0.9000309@ash.org> Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 09:23:28 -0400 From: Law Prof John Banzhaf of ASH User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 (Windows/20050923) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Theft of Veterans' Data is Fault of System, Not Just of One Employee Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Status: O X-UID: 1220 Content-Length: 3747 X-Keywords: Theft of Veterans' Data is Fault of System, Not Just of One Employee Downloading of Sensitive Information Should be Prohibited, or at Least Restricted The theft of confidential information about 26.5 million veterans, like earlier leaks of sensitive information by Clinton CIA director John Deutsch, DoE scientist Wen Ho Lee, and others is primarily the fault of bad system design rather than negligence or malevolence by individual employees.

Liable for Billions Over Vets' Data Theft Class Action Suit for Gross Negligence Under Torts Claims Act The federal government is potentially liable for billions of dollars in damages under the Federal Torts Claims Act for gross negligence by a data analyst and his immediate superiors, as well as by those who designed and maintained the computer system which freely permitted secret downloads of massive amounts of sensitive information, says the law professor who has been called "The Dean of Public Interest Lawyers." Under the Torts Claims Act, the government can be sued in the same way as any corporation which breached the privacy of individuals, provided that the leak resulted from negligence. Here, maintains Prof. John Banzhaf, at least three kinds of gross negligence could easily be established in a class action law suit: * by the individual employee who repeatedly and routinely downloaded and took home highly sensitive data including millions of names and matching Social Security numbers in unencrypted form, all in clear violation of the Agency's own rules; * by his supervisors who were reportedly aware of this outrageous practice and did nothing to stop it or to bring it to the attention of higher authorities; * by those who designed and maintained a computer system which apparently permitted hundreds of lower level employees to easily and without alerting the system's monitors download massive amounts of sensitive data to personal laptops and other storage media -- thereby creating the clearly foreseeable (if not inevitable) danger that such data would be stolen if not sold, and the identity information of millions of veterans compromised. "Every veteran and spouse on the list should at very least be able to recover the cost of monitoring their credit over the next five to ten years, as well as any of the major costs of recovering from any identity theft which might occur as a result in the future, as well as for the tort of Invasion of Privacy / Disclosure of Personal Information.," says Banzhaf. "It's unconscionable that the names and social security number of our brave veterans received less protection than iTunes or music downloaded from XM Radio," says Banzhaf, adding that if each vet gets only $1000, the potential costs to taxpayers would be almost 30 billion dollars. According to Banzhaf, the theft of confidential information about 26.5 million veterans, like earlier leaks of sensitive information by Clinton CIA director John Deutsch, DoE scientist Wen Ho Lee, and others is primarily the fault of bad system design.

On one product alone, the imposition of a so-called "sugar tax" caused sales to plummet by 40% in only one year, after a 10-fold increase in sales during the preceding 2 years, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf who began the move to use legal techniques to fight obesity. Former Bush Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and ex-Clinton HHS chief Donna Shalala recently endorsed the concept of a "tax tax," and it was also the topic of a heated debate featuring Banzhaf on last night's Paula Zahn's Now on CNN. "A tax on especially fattening foods can decrease consumption not only by using the price mechanism to reduce demand as we have with cigarettes, but also by using a portion of the proceeds to fund anti-junk-food messages to compete with the billions in ads for junk foods," says Banzhaf. There is every reason to believe that such ads would be at least as effective as the anti-smoking messages I forced radio and TV stations to carry in the last 1960's, argues Banzhaf, noting that the counter-ads produced the first decline in cigarette consumption -- something even the Surgeon General's Report failed to do. Indeed, says Banzhaf, taxes on junk foods will probably be far more effective than taxes on cigarettes have been, because cigarettes are a highly addictive product for which there are virtually no substitutes. Twinkies and Big-Gulp Cokes don't have the same addictive hold, and its very simple to substitute a Diet Coke with no calories for a 64-ounce Big Gulp Coca-Cola at 7-11 which has approximately 600 calories and enough sugar to satisfy your body's needs for at least two days.

Such a law suit could help deter governmental computer systems which are so negligently designed that they permit many lower level employees to take home vast amounts of vital data which -- if lost, stolen, or sold -- could harm millions, says law professor John Banzhaf, who first described just such a law suit last week. It could also help compensate the veterans for the very serious risks to their credit from identify theft. "While everyone seems to agree that the vets should not have to bear the cost of monitoring their own credit and, if necessary, repairing it if it is damaged by identify theft, there seems to be an assumption that the vets should be happy with whatever the VA or Congress chooses to provide them," says Banzhaf. However, Prof. Banzhaf notes, under the Federal Torts Claims Act, the government agreed to be liable for negligence in the same way as private companies, and any private company which was so negligent would clearly be liable for far more money than it would likely propose itself by way of compensation.

[SEE EARLIER RELEASES BELOW] "The common thread behind these two cases, and also other situations including that of Clinton CIA director John Deutsch, is negligence in failing to design systems so that employees cannot easily download sensitive information," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who wrote the pioneering work on law suits based upon faulty computer design, and has been called "The Dean of Public Interest Lawyers." "Computer systems must be designed -- and they can be designed -- so that employees cannot download sensitive information and take it home. Otherwise they will, regardless of what rules provide," he says.

It could also help compensate the veterans for the very serious risks to their credit from identify theft. "While everyone seems to agree that the vets should not have to bear the cost of monitoring their own credit and, if necessary, repairing it if it is damaged by identify theft, there seems to be an assumption that the vets should be happy with whatever the VA or Congress chooses to provide them," says Banzhaf. However, Prof. Banzhaf notes, under the Federal Torts Claims Act, the government agreed to be liable for negligence in the same way as private companies, and any private company which was so negligent would clearly be liable for far more money than it would likely propose itself by way of compensation. Govt. Liable for Billions Over Vets' Data Theft [05/26/06] Class Action Suit for Gross Negligence Under Torts Claims Act The federal government is potentially liable for billions of dollars in damages under the Federal Torts Claims Act for gross negligence by a data analyst and his immediate superiors, as well as by those who designed and maintained the computer system which freely permitted secret downloads of massive amounts of sensitive information, says the law professor who has been called "The Dean of Public Interest Lawyers." Under the Torts Claims Act, the government can be sued in the same way as any corporation which breached the privacy of individuals, provided that the leak resulted from negligence. Here, maintains Prof. John Banzhaf, at least three kinds of gross negligence could easily be established in a class action law suit: * by the individual employee who repeatedly and routinely downloaded and took home highly sensitive data including millions of names and matching Social Security numbers in unencrypted form, all in clear violation of the Agency's own rules; * by his supervisors who were reportedly aware of this outrageous practice and did nothing to stop it or to bring it to the attention of higher authorities; * by those who designed and maintained a computer system which apparently permitted hundreds of lower level employees to easily and without alerting the system's monitors download massive amounts of sensitive data to personal laptops and other storage media -- thereby creating the clearly foreseeable (if not inevitable) danger that such data would be stolen if not sold, and the identity information of millions of veterans compromised. "Every veteran and spouse on the list should at very least be able to recover the cost of monitoring their credit over the next five to ten years, as well as any of the major costs of recovering from any identity theft which might occur as a result in the future, as well as for the tort of Invasion of Privacy / Disclosure of Personal Information.," says Banzhaf. "It's unconscionable that the names and social security number of our brave veterans received less protection than iTunes or music downloaded from XM Radio," says Banzhaf, adding that if each vet gets only $1000, the potential costs to taxpayers would be almost 30 billion dollars. According to Banzhaf, the theft of confidential information about 26.5 million veterans, like earlier leaks of sensitive information by Clinton CIA director John Deutsch, DoE scientist Wen Ho Lee, and others is primarily the fault of bad system design. The solution to the problem is not to assume that employees can be forced to obey rules prohibiting the downloading of governmental information, but rather to design the systems to not permit any such information to be downloaded to private computers and other storage media, or at least to strictly limit such downloading, says professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University, the author of an early work on legal liability for bad computer system design. “Since it is reasonably foreseeable that in any large system at least a few employees will seek to download confidential information, and because there's hardly any legitimate reason why they would need such sensitive data on computers other than the own agency's secure ones, those who design and maintain the systems are negligent if they permit and indeed facilitate such downloading by providing computer commands to make it possible,” says Banzhaf. In those rare instances where confidential information must be downloaded to private computers and/or other storage media, the downloading should require joint password authorization by several high level officials, and then strict security protocols can be enforced and monitored. These limitations should not unduly restrict any legitimate agency activities because such rules would not limit the transfer of data from one agency computer to another, or prevent an employee traveling outside the agency from accessing sensitive information on his laptop’s computer screen with proper identity verification. But it’s hard to see how anyone – much less a mere data analyst – would ever need all that information on his private computer since any data manipulation involving millions of records should be done on the agency’s own computers where it can be carefully monitored, backups and a “audit trail” (log file) maintained, etc. “While many casual computer users may assume from constantly using ‘download’ or ‘copy’ commands that they are inherent in all operating system, nothing is further from the truth. Downloading can be totally prohibited, restricted to files of a certain type and/or size, auto-erasing in time, or available only if two or more designated officials authorize it with their own access codes,” says Banzhaf. It's failing to do this which makes leaks and thefts not only possible but inevitable. "Restricting the downloading of certain data will not guard against all leaks and misuse, but it will prevent data theft on a massive scale like that which occurred at the Veterans Administration, since there’s only so much information a person can copy by hand, photograph from a computer screen, etc.,” says Banzhaf.

Women are finally beginning to stand up for their right to urinate, even if they can't stand up while exercising that right, says Banzhaf, noting a recent call for women to "take a STAND against long lines and wet toilet seats." New York's legislation, which mandates a 2-1 female-to-male ratio of toilet facilities in most new or newly-renovated public places, apparently inspired similar legislation in such far-flung locales as Honolulu, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and more than doubled the amount of press attention devoted to the issue. However, relief has been slow in coming, with little trickle down effect, because -- as with handicap access -- most existing structures were grandfathered in. All together, more than 20 states and many local jurisdictions, building and plumbing codes, etc. now provide women with some protection against fewer toilet facilities than men, and more and more are requiring a 2-1 ratio. New York's legislation has apparently also encouraged more unisex restrooms, a development which is also hailed by the transgendered, as well as those who must assist children, the disabled, or the elderly of the opposite gender. "Separate but Equal" doesn't work with restrooms since providing an "equal" number of square feet means far more facilities for men since urinals take up much less space than toilet stalls, and even an "equal" number of facilities still forces women to wait on a much longer line than men since it takes them much longer. Banzhaf -- somewhat tongue in cheek -- encourages women to continue to complain about being under-privyledged and about the lack of urinequity which often causes them to wait a sheturnity in pee-gatory and suffer assault and bladdery, while men-no-pause and zip in, up, and out of restrooms exercising a male pee-rogative and causing some women real penis envy -- although some call it simply menvy. On a more serious note, several courts have now recognized that providing substantially less restroom access to women than to men can constitute illegal gender discrimination, at least in the workplace, and that providing even equal access can constitute sexual harassment because of the inherent biological differences between men and women regarding urination. In short, says Banzhaf, women may soon be making a federal cases out of potty parity, or even seeking protection against the problem under the constitutional doctrine of Equal Protection. If, for example, men always had to wait far longer than women at airport security checkpoints -- either because there weren't enough male screeners, or because searching males took longer than searching females -- male lawyers would be racing to the courthouse door screaming sex discrimination and denial of equal protection, and male legislators would be passing legislation to equalize the delay.

Moreover, such steps would begin to save hundreds of millions of dollars -- within just a few years -- by slashing the totally unnecessary costs of treating birth defects, underweight babies, and other medical complications causes by teen smoking, most of which is paid for by nonsmokers in the form of higher taxes and inflated health insurance premiums, says Banzhaf. In the longer run, this would reduce the huge $140 billion annual cost smoking imposes on our economy. Teen smoking began to decline in 1997 for several reasons. First, the multi-state tobacco settlement, in addition to limiting certain forms of cigarette advertising, caused a dramatic increase in the price of cigarettes as manufacturers raised wholesale prices in order to cover the billions of dollars they were now required to pay the states. The states, in turn, initially funneled significant amounts of that money into antismoking campaigns. Finally, many states also began raising cigarette taxes. But teens have now grown to accept the current prices for cigarettes, and states are cutting their spending of tobacco settlement money on antismoking campaigns, and using most of it for uses totally unrelated to health. Thus neither higher prices nor antismoking campaigns are effectively deterring teen smoking. "States could reverse this new trend by devoting more of the money they accepted in the settlement to antismoking campaigns instead of spending it on roads, bridges, old folks homes, and general administration," says Banzhaf, because the campaigns have proven their effectiveness. Alternatively, they could significantly deter consumption of cigarettes by teens, especially younger ones, by substantially raising cigarette taxes -- a move which would also boost revenue and provide an alternative source for funds to pay for expanded antismoking educational campaigns. Another simple technique for deterring the purchase of products not legal for teens to buy is to strictly enforce laws requiring buyers to show proof of age -- a technique which is much more effective in deterring teen purchases of alcoholic beverages. The CDC reported that almost half of the students [48.5%] who attempted to buy cigarettes in a store were not even asked to show proof of age. "The simple reason why almost half the stores did not even ask teens for proof of age is that the fines are so small they are seen as a cost of doing business rather than as a serious deterrent, and there's very little incentive to mount enforcement campaigns -- including 'stings' which work so effectively." Liquor dealers are more likely to check teens' IDs because even a few violations can lead to a license revocation, something which rarely happens with the illegal sale of cigarettes. Treating the sale of cigarettes the same way we treat the sale of alcoholic beverages would slash teen consumption, and the fines would more than pay for the enforcement effort, says Banzhaf. Many major dangers to health are very difficult and/or every expensive to reduce, says Banzhaf, citing AIDS, teen pregnancy, and aggressive driving. But the most dangerous behavior of all can be reduced easily and at a net savings rather than a cost, and thereby save nonsmokers hundreds of billions of dollars in totally unnecessary health care and other costs.

    New Ordinance Consistent With Public Urination Ruling

    One city has already classified it as a "public nuisance," and at least one other city is on the verge of also declaring that smoking outdoors around other people is a "public nuisance," a classification which could make the smoker liable in a civil action, or even in a criminal proceeding.

    Indeed, the concept of classifying outdoor smoking as a "public nuisance" finds strong support under existing California law, including the broad statutory definition of the crime, a recent ruling classifying outdoor tobacco smoke as a "toxic air contaminant," and a recent high court ruling that public urination, even in a deserted parking lot, is a "public nuisance" because, under the statutory criteria, it endangers public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell, says ASH.

    The City of Calabasas, California, as part of an ordinance which bans smoking in virtually all outdoor areas such a sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and the outdoor patios of restaurants, declared that: "The city council hereby declares that exposing other persons to second-hand tobacco smoke constitutes a public nuisance . ."

    Now, the City of Dublin, California, and apparently several other Southern California jurisdictions, are likely to follow, creating a legal designation which would permit people walking on the street or standing in their backyards or on their balconies to sue smokers whose drifting smoke offends them.

    "If surreptitiously urinating in a deserted parking lot constitutes the crime of a public nuisance because it endangers the public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell, smoking in outdoor public places very clearly and even more strongly meets the same statutory criteria," says law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), a national antismoking and nonsmokers' rights organization.

    ASH, in a communication sent to the members of the Dublin City Council, argues that urinating outdoors and in public doesn't create any health risk even to a person standing nearby in the way that public smoking does.  In other words, there is a clear health risk posed to bystanders by secondhand tobacco smoke, but not by "secondhand urine."  Moreover, any immediate health risk created by a few ounces of liquid urine in a deserted parking lot would seem to be tiny, especially when compared with the health risks created by even small amounts of tobacco smoke in the air.  Thus smoking meets the first legal criteria.

    ASH also argued that tobacco smoke is far more "offensive to the sense of smell" than a tiny amount of urine on the ground, and that it adversely affects far more people, as evidenced by the fact that more than 700 jurisdictions -- including the State of Washington -- have banned smoking in some outdoor areas.

    "Adding public smoking to the list of acts which constitute a 'public nuisance' would permit individuals who have been subjected to a proven carcinogen to bring a legal action, whether the exposure occurred on their own property or in public spaces," says Banzhaf. 

    California's Attorney General has ruled that a land owner can be liable if he burns materials on his property, and the smoke drifts onto the property of an adjacent landowner.  Now that same rule can be applied if the material being burned is tobacco, says ASH.

    RE:       California Law Supports Outdoor Smoking as "Nuisance"

    On behalf of the national antismoking organization which helped Calabasas, California, pass a comprehensive outdoor smoking ban (which we then supported with a grant), I write to suggest that the concept of classifying outdoor smoking as a "public nuisance" finds strong support under existing California law, specifically:

    1. California's very broad and open-ended statutory definition as to what constitutes a "public nuisance" in Cal Pen Code Sec. 370.
    2. A formal finding by California's Air Resources Board that tobacco smoke outdoors is a "toxic air contaminant" because it causes heart attacks and cancers -- including breast cancer -- in nonsmokers. [http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/ets/ets.htm]
    3. A court ruling that public urination, even in a deserted parking lot, is a "public nuisance" because, under the statutory criteria, it endangers public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell. SEE:  PEOPLE v. McDONALD, 137 Cal. App. 4th 521; 40 Cal. Rptr. 3d 422; 2006 Cal. App.

    To show how these three legal sources provide support for a declaration that smoking outdoors in places frequented by the public constitutes a "public nuisance," please see the press release below which we issued several months ago.

    Please contact me and my staff if we can be of any further assistance -- we have been doing this for almost 40 years.  See: http://ash.org  and http://banzhaf.net

    TAKEN FROM A PRESS RELEASE MY ANTISMOKING ORGANIZATION (ASH) RELEASED:  For years, ASH and other antismoking organizations have been persuading legislators to ban smoking in restaurants by arguing that having a "no-smoking" section in a restaurant is like having a "no-urinating" section in a swimming pool -- neither is effective because the substance drifts to pollute the entire area.  But what happens when both activities occur outdoors?

    Recently a California court had to determine whether urinating outdoors -- away from the public in the outdoor parking lot of a restaurant which was closed -- was a crime, even though the act itself did not violate any specific criminal statute, including those against littering or disposing of waste.  The court concluded that it was, even in the absence of a specific section of the criminal code, because it constituted a "public nuisance," and a public nuisance is a misdemeanor.

    The court explained that a "nuisance" is defined a "anything which is injurious to health, ... or is indecent or offensive to the senses, ... so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life." [ Cal Pen Code Sec. 370]  To decide whether an act constitutes a public nuisance, courts generally consider "three elements: (1) the proscribed act, (2) whether the result of the act interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, and (3) whether the act affects a sufficient number of persons."  The court held that public urination met all three conditions, including that it "endangers the public health."

    But the act of urinating outdoors and in public doesn't create any health risk even to a person standing nearby in the way that public smoking does.  In other words, there is a health risk posed to bystanders by secondhand tobacco smoke, but not by "secondhand urine."

    Moreover, any immediate health risk created by a few ounces of liquid urine in a deserted parking lot would seem to be very small, especially when compared with the health risks created by even small amounts of tobacco smoke in the air.

    "The federal government has declared secondhand tobacco smoke to be a 'known human carcinogen' which kills thousands of nonsmokers every year; the State of California [through its Air Resources Board] recently ruled that secondhand tobacco smoke -- even outdoors -- is a 'toxic air contaminant' because it causes breast cancer, as well as lung cancer and heart attacks, in nearby nonsmokers; and recent measurements show that the level of tobacco smoke outdoors when people are smoking makes the air 'Unhealthy' by EPA standards." [www.repace.com/pdf/outdoorair.pdf]

    The California court also held that urine in public "can be offensive to the sense of smell," and noted that even the use of verbal profanity in public can be sufficiently offensive to constitute a public nuisance.  Obviously, the odor of tobacco smoke generated when someone smokes on a sidewalk is far more irritating and offensive to many than the smell of a few ounces of urine on the ground in the same area.  Therefore, smoking also satisfies the criteria of  "offensive to the senses."

    Public smoking also appears to satisfy the second criteria for a public nuisance which is that it must interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life.  Such interference need be only slight, the court explained, since this general criteria can be satisfied by someone who is eavesdropping on conversations, being a "public scold," or even  "maintaining for hire a place of amusement which served no useful purpose."

    Since more than 700 jurisdictions -- including the entire State of Washington -- have already banned smoking in some outdoor areas, it is clear that smoking does interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life for many people. [See generally http://ash.org/outdoors]  Indeed, as the court pointed out, urination can constitute a  public nuisance "although it has not yet resulted in any significant harm, or indeed any harm to anyone."

    Finally, the court noted that, to constitute a public nuisance, the act need only affect a number of people rather than every member of the public, and that the act itself need not even occur in the presence of members of the public -- so long as can affect them.  So the smoke from smoker on a sidewalk could constitute a public nuisance even if some members of the public say they don't find the smoke offensive, and even if many were not present at the time the smoking occurred.

    With California's broad and open-ended definition as to what constitutes a public nuisance, a formal finding by California that tobacco smoke outdoors is a "toxic air contaminant" because it can cause cancers and heart attacks in nonsmokers, and a court ruling that urinating in a deserted parking lot is a nuisance because it creates a situation which endangers public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell, smoking outdoors could be declared to be public nuisance, says ASH.

    Such a ruling could be important because the law generally permits individuals to bring civil actions to abate a public nuisance, and sometimes to obtain monetary damages in compensation and as a deterrent.

ASH already helped persuade one city to classified it as a "public nuisance," and at least one other city is on the verge of also declaring that smoking outdoors around other people is a "public nuisance," a classification which could make the smoker liable in a civil action, or perhaps even in a criminal proceeding. Indeed, the concept of classifying outdoor smoking as a "public nuisance" finds strong support under existing California law, including the broad statutory definition of the crime, a recent ruling classifying outdoor tobacco smoke as a "toxic air contaminant," and a recent high court ruling that public urination, even in a deserted parking lot, is a "public nuisance" because, under the statutory criteria, it endangers public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell, says ASH. The City of Calabasas, California, as part of an ordinance which bans smoking in virtually all outdoor areas such a sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and the outdoor patios of restaurants, says that: "The city council hereby declares that exposing other persons to second-hand tobacco smoke constitutes a public nuisance . ." Now the City of Dublin, California, and apparently several other Southern California jurisdictions, are likely to follow, creating a legal designation which would permit people walking on the street or standing in their backyards or on their balconies to sue smokers whose drifting smoke offends them. "If surreptitiously urinating in a deserted parking lot constitutes the crime of a public nuisance because it endangers the public health and can be offensive to the sense of smell, smoking in outdoor public places very clearly and even more strongly meets the same statutory criteria," says law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), a national antismoking and nonsmokers' rights organization. ASH, in a communication sent to the members of the Dublin City Council, argues that urinating outdoors and in public doesn't create any health risk even to a person standing nearby in the way that public smoking does. In other words, there is a clear health risk posed to bystanders by secondhand tobacco smoke, but not by "secondhand urine." Moreover, any immediate health risk created by a few ounces of liquid urine in a deserted parking lot would seem to be tiny, especially when compared with the health risks created by even small amounts of tobacco smoke in the air. Thus smoking meets the first legal criteria. ASH also argued that tobacco smoke is far more "offensive to the sense of smell" than a tiny amount of urine on the ground, and that it adversely affects far more people, as evidenced by the fact that more than 700 jurisdictions -- including the State of Washington -- have banned smoking in some outdoor areas. "Adding public smoking to the list of acts which constitute a 'public nuisance' would permit individuals who have been subjected to a proven carcinogen and toxic air contaminant to bring a legal action, whether the exposure occurred on their own property or in public spaces," says Banzhaf. California's Attorney General has ruled that a land owner can be liable if he burns materials on his own property and the smoke drifts onto the property of an adjacent landowner. Now that same rule can be applied if the material being burned is tobacco, says ASH. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

Huckabee A proposal to ban smoking by women who are pregnant got a boost when Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee -- who just signed a law banning smoking in a car when children are present -- endorsed the concept, saying that it makes sense from a health point of view. He called for a study to determine whether such a legislative proposal -- designed to protect the health of the fetus and to reduce the huge costs of treating babies born prematurely and/or with birth defects caused by maternal smoking -- would be lawful. http://www.pbcommercial.com/articles/2006/06/13/ap-state-ar/d8i7j4s00.txt But law professor John Banzhaf, who has successfully led a movement which has spread smoking bans outdoors, into private homes (in custody cases and where foster children live), into apartments (when neighbors complain), and into cars (when children are present), says expanding it into wombs would be constitutional. "Since court after court has held that smoking is not a fundamental right like voting, and that smokers are not a protected class like African Americans or women, the government has wide leeway in fashioning a remedy for whatever it concludes is a problem requiring corrective legislation," says Banzhaf. The law is clear, he says, that governments are free to ban one cause of a problem which not regulating another. For example, governments may ban talking on a hand-held cell phone while driving, even though using a hands-free phone or engaging in other activities may be as dangerous. Thus, a state could ban smoking by pregnant women while not banning other activities potentially dangerous to her fetus such as excessive alcohol consumption, certain athletic activities, etc. To the concerns -- often called the "slippery slope" argument -- that such a law would inevitably lead to restrictions on many other activities by pregnant women, Banzhaf notes that legislators can and do draw lines. The ban on TV advertising for cigarettes has not spread to other products, handguns -- but not shotguns -- are banned in certain situations, knives of one length but not another are often illegal, drinking is legal at age 21 but not at age 20, etc. "The mere fact that legislators have banned the smoking of marijuana, but not the smoking of tobacco -- even though few would argue that marijuana smoking is substantially more dangerous than tobacco smoking -- demonstrates the tremendous discretion legislators have in choosing to prohibit one activity but not another." To those who argue that a ban on smoking by pregnant women would constitute an invasion of her constitutional right of privacy, Banzhaf notes that her so-called privacy rights are inextricably bound up with the right of the child not to be subjected to dangerous unnecessary health risks, if not death itself. Also, he notes, there are many other situations in which governments impose restrictions on what many would regard as strictly private choices. These include wearing seat belts or motorcycles helmets, refraining from using many drugs, even by the terminally ill, the right to "death with dignity," etc. Another argument against such laws is the suggestion that it would be unconstitutional to punish a behavior which in many smokers is caused by an addiction. But the U.S. Supreme Court has held that addiction to alcohol is not a defense to crimes involving public intoxication. Moreover, says Banzhaf, women may be addicted to the drug nicotine,but never to the activity of smoking. Thus even women who are addicted could comply with a law banning smoking by administering nicotine to themselves with patches, gums, etc. "While no one suggests that pregnant women should ingest a drug like nicotine, it is obviously far safer for both themselves and for the fetus if they get their nicotine from a patch rather than through active smoking." Finally, says Banzhaf, some have suggested that a woman's constitutional right to choose an abortion means that she has a right to inflict harm or risk to the fetus because that's less serious than killing it. But the Supreme Court has said that the right to an abortion exists only so that a woman can avoid the pain and problems of having a child. "Once a women has chosen to give birth rather than to abort, she has no constitutional right to endanger the fetus' health," argues Banzhaf. "Reasonable people may disagree with Gov. Huckabee's view that a law banning smoking by pregnant women would be desirable or even feasible, but it seems reasonably clear that, if enacted, such a law would be constitutional and withstand any challenge in the courts," predicts Prof. Banzhaf.

    in REAL NEWS Profile of 25 Key Democratic Consultants

    In an effort to show how Democrats as well as Republicans often support policies which are contrary to the public interest and to the positions they purported to represent while in public life, REAL NEWS has profiled 25 major Democratic consultants and demonstrated how many of them have close and questionable ties to the tobacco industry. [http://realnews.org/rn/content/25demconsultants.html] Below are excerpts, with capitalizations added for emphasis:

    GEORGE MITCHELL [ Partner and Co-Chair of Government Controversies Practice Group at Piper Rudnick Gray Cary. Former Senate Majority Leader from Maine, still one of the most respected figures in Washington]:  Another client is ALTRIA (PHILIP MORRIS Tobacco). “Big tobacco wants George Mitchell as its lobbyist now for the same reason they reportedly paid him millions just a few years ago in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade Congress to grant the industry total immunity from multi-billion dollar law suits; they hope it will buy them both access and some much-needed respectability,” says PROF. JOHN F. BANZHAF III, Executive Director of ACTION ON SMOKING AND HEALTH (ASH). “They hope that some of his reputation - as an ‘honest broker’of peace in Northern Ireland and in the Mid East - will help cover up their image as an industry which kills millions by cover-ups and deception. They hope that few will remember that George - along with other K Street rock stars like BOB DOLE (whose first wife was killed by big tobacco) - fought to immunize the industry in what was called the largest "stealth lobbying campaign of all time" because it relied on personal access and private assurances rather than a major media campaign and coalition building… One can only hope that George will be no more successful now than when his clients were forced to accept a settlement which cost them almost a quarter of a TRILLION dollars, killed off Joe Camel, and brought an end to cigarette billboards.”

    CARTER ESKEW [Founding partner of the GLOVER PARK GROUP] served as AL GORE’s chief media adviser in 2000; has done work for senators CHRIS DODD, JOE LIEBERMAN, and TOM HARKIN. Close to Senate Minority Leader HARRY REID. Was criticized for his work in the 1990s providing media advice to the tobacco industry (through his then-PR firm, Bozell Sawyer Miller Group).

    BURSON-MARSTELLER [The global public relations firm, now a part of a giant conglomerate, WPP Group PLC].: Burson practically invented the concept of faux-grassroots organizations (known in the trade as ‘astroturf’) that were no more than fronts for corporations and industries pushing embarrassing products and agendas. For example, Burson created the “NATIONAL SMOKERS ALLIANCE," a purportedly grassroots movement for smokers rights, on behalf of its client ALTRIA (PHILIP MORRIS tobacco).

    LESLIE DACH: [ Vice president of Edelman World-Wide] Dach heads Edelman's Corporate Social Responsibility practice where his role has included defending Edelman PR's relationship with tobacco companies, despite the company's pledge not to represent tobacco companies.

    "Although several of these figures worked for people like Bill Clinton and Al Gore who took a strong stand on issues related to tobacco and smoking, many members of the public have no idea that they had close ties to big tobacco, and often worked behind the scenes to scuttle antismoking programs, push the tobacco industry's agenda, and seek to discredit legitimate organizations working to protect nonsmokers," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), a national antismoking organization,  which contributed to this report.

Indeed, seven such fat law suits have already been very successful in accomplishing their goals, and several provide important legal precedent suggesting that the CSPI class action law suit will also be successful, says Banzhaf, who has been called the "Dean of Public Interest Lawyers" and the father of this new movement. A key complaint is that KFC does not tell consumers that its products contain an extraordinary amount of trans fat, a deadly substance which the government says Americans should not ingest if at all possible, or that consumption should be limited to no more than 2 grams a day. Yet a typical meal at KFC, the second largest food chain in the world, contains 15 artery-clogging grams of trans fat -- more than one should safely eat in an entire week. "When my law students put together a law suit charging that McDonald's failed to tell customers that their french fries contained tiny amounts of beef fat, McDonald's originally called the law suit frivolous, but it was later forced to pay more than $12 million to settle the suit -- even though the beef fat created no health danger whatsoever, and its presence was of interest only to a tiny minority of people concerned about it for religious or ethical reasons. In contrast, trans fat annually causes thousands of cases of diabetes, somewhere between 72,000 and 200,000 heart attacks, and tons of unnecessary weight gain, according to experts. It's also of such great concern to people that it must be disclosed on virtually all foods purchased in super markets. Thus failure to disclose the presence of large amount of trans fat makes a stronger legal case than failure to disclose tiny amounts of beef fat, claims Banzhaf. In a similar case, Kraft Foods was sued because it failed to reveal that its Oreo cookies contained trans fat. Kraft immediately settled, agreeing to remove the trans fat entirely. Its reformulated Oreo cookies now contains no trans fat, and also have fewer calories, notes Banzhaf. Another favorable legal precedent is a decision by federal judge Robert W. Sweet holding that McDonald's could be sued for failing to tell consumers that its Chicken McNuggets contain more fat and calories than its cheeseburgers. "If a failure to disclose that one product contains more fat and calories than another is actionable, then a failure to disclose that a product has more trans fat than competing products should likewise provide the basis for a law suit," argues Banzhaf. Another factor strengthening this law suit is that foods sold in stores are required to disclose their grams of trans fat. "This clearly indicates that this is a matter of major public concern, unlike the beef fat in McDonald's french fries which was the basis for the successful law suit my law students put together," says Banzhaf. Also, he says, many consumers purchasing foods in supermarkets which disclose the amount of trans fat grams they contain are likely to be mislead when they walk into KFC, McDonald's, or other fast food outlets and do not see any disclosure of trans fat. This reasonable consumer expectation -- that the fast food items which contain trans fat would disclose them as store-bought foods do -- may lead to a legal obligation to disclose the presence of trans fat to avoid consumer deception.. "If KFC is wise, they will settle this law suit quickly before plaintiffs use it to obtain pre-trial discovery of confidential KFC corporate documents which indicate conduct which is incriminating if not illegal. KFC knows that it was documents obtained by pre-trial discovery in tobacco cases -- not just the harmfulness of cigarettes -- which caused juries to begin returning multi-million and even billion dollar verdicts against tobacco companies," says Banzhaf. He also notes that a similar class action law suit filed against bottlers of sugary soft drinks forced the bottlers and their trade association to agree to remove these calorie-laden beverages from schools, the very goal of the law suit. "This is just another example of how legal action can be a powerful weapon against the problem of fat in America, and how even large and powerful corporations can be forced to change their ways through a law suit," says Banzhaf.

Indeed, notes Banzhaf, the primary objection to this movement seems to be the intrusiveness of the testing for drugs, not the prohibition itself. There would be no such problem with a law prohibiting smoking in public by pregnant women women because the proscribed behavior would be readily observable, and drug testing would not be necessary. Prof. Banzhaf, who has successfully led a movement which has spread smoking bans outdoors, into private homes (in custody cases and where foster children live), into apartments (when neighbors complain), and into cars (when children are present), says expanding it into wombs would be constitutional.

"Fat law suits -- seven of which have already been successful -- have pushed fast food companies to provide more nutritional disclosure on web sites, on wall charts, on fliers and brochures, and even on the backs of tray mats, but it will probably require new legislation to make the practice both universal and uniform," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who helped start this legal action movement with a successful law suit against McDonald's. The new study bolsters a recent recommendation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that restaurants should provide consumers with calorie information in a standard format that is easy to use, and for a bill by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) which would require that nutritional information be displayed on chain restaurant menus and vending machines. Recognizing that some customers may not be familiar with generally accepted caloric intake requirements, nor comfortable with the concept of percentages, the researchers suggested labeling formats in which foods are classified as “low,” “moderate,” and “high” calorie. Prof. Banzhaf has suggested using traffic light colors -- low = green, moderate = yellow, and high = red -- or a rating system of 3 to 5 stars to make the disclosures easier to use, especially by customers in a hurry. PepsiCo, the largest manufacturer of what many call junk foods, uses a more elaborate rating system which includes nutritional value as well as calories, and other companies also provide disclosure of additional nutritional information including total fat and trans fat. "That's why, to be truly effective, there should be one national standard form of disclosure, so that customers will get the same information in the same easy-to-understand format regardless of the fast food chain they visit or the state in which they are dining," argues Banzhaf. The study showed that as many as 73% were able to report accurate knowledge about daily caloric needs, and as many as two thirds currently examined nutritional information to help them make food choices. Indeed, says Banzhaf, there is strong support for nutritional labeling on foods purchased in supermarkets, even if some people rarely use it, with no serious movement to abandon it because it is too confusing or otherwise not useful. "If it works for literally tens of thousands of different foods in stores, it can work as well for a few hundred standard menu items in fast food restaurants where so many Americans consume so many of their excess calories, says Banzhaf. The fast food industry -- ignoring its own supersized calorie-packed and fat-laden foods, and ubiquitous high-powered and often misleading advertising -- blames the current obesity epidemic on a lack of personal responsibility. But corporate responsibility requires them to provide sufficient nutritional information in a clear and conspicuous form before they can blame consumers for their lack of personal responsibility, argues Banzhaf.

Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), which had worked with the Attorney General's office and supplied both factual information and legal arguments, hailed the decision as a victory. "By July 4th, people in Arizona will enjoy freedom from toxic and carcinogenic tobacco smoke," ASH said. "Businesses have no right to insist that their customers inhale tobacco smoke pollution as a condition of being served, any more than they must inhale asbestos or benzene." The bar owners had argued that they would lose money if the ban went into effect, but information ASH provided to the Attorney General proved that comprehensive smoking bans don't hurt business for restaurants and bars, and, indeed, often help them. http://ash.org/econ The bar owners also argued that there was no rational basis for the few exemptions in the comprehensive smoking ban for casinos, cigar bars, the Denver International Airport smoking lounge, and small private workplaces with three or fewer employees. But legislators were concerned that casinos in Colorado would be on unequal ground with Indian casinos which are unregulated by state law. Also, legislators heard evidence indicating smoking bans generally have had a positive impact on the restaurant business but a negative effect on casinos. Airports logically could be exempted because they attract mostly non-Coloradans, as opposed to businesses subject to the ban, and small businesses are frequently exempted from a wide a variety of laws as a matter of legislative policy and choice. Indeed, as ASH pointed out, numerous legislators have adopted nonsmokers' rights laws which ban smoking in some places but not others, and these laws have stood the test of time and constitutionality, says law professor John Banzhaf of ASH. See: http://ash.org/smokingbans.html ASH also noted that no smoking bans apparently have been overturned on substantive constitutional grounds. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

Moreover, such steps would begin to save hundreds of millions of dollars -- within just a few years -- by slashing the totally unnecessary costs of treating birth defects, underweight babies, and other medical complications caused by teen smoking, most of which is paid for by nonsmokers in the form of higher taxes and inflated health insurance premiums, says Banzhaf. In the longer run, this would reduce the huge $140 billion annual cost smoking imposes on our economy. Teen smoking began to decline in 1997 for several reasons. First, the multi-state tobacco settlement, in addition to limiting certain forms of cigarette advertising, caused a dramatic increase in the price of cigarettes as manufacturers raised wholesale prices in order to cover the billions of dollars they were now required to pay the states. The states, in turn, initially funneled significant amounts of that money into antismoking campaigns. Finally, many states also began raising cigarette taxes. But teens have now grown to accept the current prices for cigarettes, and states are cutting their spending of tobacco settlement money on antismoking campaigns, and using most of it for uses totally unrelated to health. Thus neither higher prices nor antismoking campaigns are effectively deterring teen smoking. "States could easily reverse this new trend by devoting more of the money they accepted in the tobacco settlement to antismoking campaigns instead of spending it on roads, bridges, old folks homes, and general administration," says Banzhaf, because the educational campaigns have proven their effectiveness. Alternatively, they could significantly deter consumption of cigarettes by teens, especially younger ones, by substantially raising cigarette taxes -- a move which would also boost revenue, and provide an alternative source for additional funds to pay for expanded antismoking educational campaigns. Another simple technique for deterring the purchase of products not legal for teens to buy is to strictly enforce laws requiring buyers to show proof of age -- a technique which is much more effective in deterring teen purchases of alcoholic beverages. The CDC reported that almost half of the students [48.5%] who attempted to buy cigarettes in a store were not even asked to show proof of age, much less refused the cigarettes. "The simple reason why almost half the stores did not even ask teens for proof of age is that the fines are so small they are seen as a cost of doing business rather than as a serious deterrent, and there's very little incentive to mount enforcement campaigns -- including 'stings' which work so effectively." Liquor dealers are much more likely to check teens' IDs because even a few violations can lead to a license revocation, something which rarely happens with the illegal sale of cigarettes. Treating the sale of cigarettes the same way we treat the sale of alcoholic beverages would slash teen consumption, and the fines would more than pay for the enforcement effort, says Banzhaf. Many major dangers to health are very difficult and/or every expensive to reduce, says Banzhaf, citing AIDS, teen pregnancy, and aggressive driving. But the most dangerous behavior of all can be reduced easily and at a net savings rather than a cost to taxpayers, and thereby save nonsmokers hundreds of billions of dollars in totally unnecessary health care and other costs.

Almost a dozen states have already adopted such restrictions, in part as a result of similar complaints filed there, or they are in the process of doing so. Indeed, it appears that these prohibitions on smoking while foster children are in cars helped persuade at least two states to ban smoking when any child is in a car. In a related development, in almost 30 states smoking has been recognized as a factor in custody decisions, and parents have been prohibited from smoking in their own cars and homes around children and/or have lost custody for doing refusing. While these actions are usually taken at the request of a nonsmoking parent, some courts or judges issue them on their own initiative, and welfare authorities are beginning to respond to complaints for third parties like doctors, relatives, etc. These new foster child complaints, as well as the earlier ones which have already been successful, were filed by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), a nonsmokers' rights organization which serves as the legal-action arm of the antismoking community. ASH argues that in view of the recent Surgeon General's report on secondhand tobacco smoke, states have a legal obligation to protect foster children in their charge from unnecessary exposure to tobacco smoke. ASH's complaint points out that prisoners are routinely successful in suing when they are exposed to tobacco smoke, and that foster children, like prisoners, are legally wards of the state, and that the state exercises custody and control over both. ASH's complaint also notes the growing number of legal actions where nonsmokers have successfully sued when they were exposed to tobacco smoke, the increased realization of the serious risks of secondhand tobacco smoke, and states' willingness to step in to protect young children from tobacco smoke. ASH also argues that "it is hypocritical and unfair to protect adults from occasional and easily avoidable exposure to tobacco smoke in places like offices, stores, restaurants, and even bars while subjecting child wards of the state to continuing tobacco smoke pollution in homes and cars." It also cites studies showing that states can save millions of dollars in health care costs by banning smoking in homes and cars when foster children are present. Finally, the petition points out that restrictions on smoking around foster children have enjoyed the support of foster parents' groups, have frequently been adopted without any opposition, and seem -- in polls -- to be popular with the public. Below are some facts from the ASH complaint: * The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has authoritatively determined that, even at the levels found in a home where only one parent smokes, tobacco smoke pollution annually causes in children 150,000-300,000 lower respiratory infections like pneumonia and bronchitis, 7,500-15,000 hospitalizations, 200,000-1,000,000 asthma attacks, 8,000-26,000 new cases of asthma, significantly reduced lung function, and many other serious health problems. * A study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine shows that parental smoking each year kills thousand of children (largely from respiratory diseases); causes 5.4 million serious ailments such as ear infection and asthma; costs $4.6 billion annually in medical expenses alone; and ultimately costs the American economy $8.2 billion annually. It concludes that more young children are killed by parental smoking than by all unintentional injuries combined. * The journal PEDIATRICS reported that tobacco smoke causes the following problems in children: between 136 and 212 deaths among children under 5 years of age from lower respiratory tract infections; 354,000 to 2.2 million episodes of otitis media (ear infections); 5,200-165,000 tympanotomies; 14,000-21,000 tonsillectomies and/or adenoidectomies; 529,000 physician visits for asthma; 1.3-2 million physician visits for coughs; 260,000-436,000 episodes of bronchitis in children younger than 5 years of age; and 15,000-190,000 episodes of pneumonia in children under 5 years of age. Newer research suggests that exposing children to tobacco smoke can cause additional serious problems, including adverse effects on cognitive ability and the risk of surgeries. The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Public Health Service has just conclusively demonstrated and authoritatively reported, based upon the most comprehensive study of the issue ever undertaken, that: * “The scientific evidence is now indisputable: secondhand smoke is not a mere annoyance. It is a serious health hazard that can lead to disease and premature death in children and nonsmoking adults. [Secondhand tobacco smoke] is a known cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), respiratory problems, ear infections, and asthma attacks in infants and children . . . because the bodies of infants and children are still developing, they are especially vulnerable to the poisons in secondhand smoke.” * "There is NO risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure, with even brief exposure adversely affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory system. Only smoke-free environments effectively protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke exposure in indoor spaces.” * “The consequences of smoke on a child’s respiratory system are more severe than originally thought. Acute respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, respiratory symptoms such as cough, phlegm, wheezing, and breathlessness, more frequent and severe asthma attacks, slowing of lung growth, and ear infections have all been proven to be results of exposure to secondhand smoke in children. . . .“[W]e have determined that secondhand smoke is a cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). . . . We have also found that infants who are exposed to secondhand smoke after birth are also at increased risk of dying of SIDS.” * “The agency [California EPA] also estimated that between 24,300 and 71,900 low birth weight or preterm deliveries, about 202,300 episodes of childhood asthma (new cases and exacerbations), between 150,000 and 300,000 cases of lower respiratory illness in children, and about 789,700 cases of middle ear infections in children occur each year in the United States as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.” PROFESSOR JOHN F.

    Individual airlines, and not the government's Transportation Safety Agency (TSA), could be legally liable for deaths and injuries caused by in-flight explosives brought on the airplane in liquid or gel form under certain circumstances, warns public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who says that depending on screening efforts for liquid explosives at TSA-manned security check points ignores the explosive ingredients which can be purchased from shops in the airport's sterile areas.

    "Unless there is a separate and very thorough second search just before boarding the airplane, or all carry-ons including purses are prohibited, the best security procedures at the checkpoint will not stop a terrorist smart enough to purchase his bomb making materials from stores in the airport's sterile area," warns Banzhaf.

    "A passenger could walk through a security check point with nothing on his person but a fat wallet, obtain the ingredients for a bomb by purchasing items commonly sold by stores in the sterile area, mix these ingredients in a rest room stall, pour the explosive mixture into a small plastic container also purchased in the sterile area, and put it all into a carry-on bag with numerous other items all purchased in sterile area shops, and walk onto the plane with enough explosive to bring it down.."

    Currently, the TSA searches passengers and their carry-on luggage only at the security checkpoint.  Thus, suggests Banzhaf, the airlines -- now that they have been alerted to this new threat -- may have a legal obligation to begin searching passengers for liquids just as they board the airplane.   Failure to begin doing so within a reasonable time could open them up to catastrophic monetary damages should a bomb made from ingredients purchased in the sterile area go off in flight.

    "It only takes explosive filling half of a cigarette pack to puncture an aircraft's fuselage, and the bomb material is as likely to be a powder -- possibly produced by combining common ingredients purchased at the airport in a rest room stall -- as a liquid.  An alternative would be to produce an incendiary bomb -- possibly including alcohol and/or paraffin easily purchased in airport shops -- which under certain circumstances could destroy an aircraft before it can land."

    As Earlier Predicted by Public Interest Law Professor

    Beginning Friday, airline passengers will go through a second screening at the boarding gate, announced James May, president of the Air Transport Association.  The reason seems to be to prevent passengers from bringing on board liquids they may have purchased from airport shops in the sterile area after passing thorough the main security gate, where a careful screening is supposed to prevent them from bringing possibly-explosive liquids into the sterile area.

    This comes hours after a prediction of the need for such searches -- to counteract terrorism and prevent catastrophic legal liability for airlines -- by a public interest law professor with a science degree who explained the need for such searches in his earlier press release reprinted below:

    "It only takes explosive filling half of a cigarette pack to puncture an aircraft's fuselage, and the bomb material is as likely to be a powder -- possibly produced by combining common ingredients purchased at the airport in a rest room stall -- as a liquid.  An alternative would be to produce an incendiary bomb -- possibly including alcohol and/or paraffin easily purchased in airport shops -- which under certain circumstances could destroy an aircraft before it can land."

    NOTE TO TV PRODUCERS:  A simple but very dramatic demonstration could be set up by having experts actually purchase common items containing potentially explosive ingredients from shops in an airport's sterile area, bring those purchases back to the studio, mix and manipulate the ingredients to produce an explosive or incendiary mixture, and pour it into a small container (e.g., for cosmetics) also purchased at the airport, and then set it off outside in a safe place with TV cameras rolling.  Care should be taken not to be specific about the items purchased, the ingredients themselves, or the precise means by which the explosives were made.

Though many argue that this cannot be done because it would constitute unconstitutional “racial profiling,” an outspoken law professor says it’s perfectly legal because the U.S. Supreme Court has said so. “Racial profiling” – considering race or ethnicity in determining whom to search and/or how extensively to search them – is constitutional if done in accordance with guidelines the U.S. Supreme Court has laid down, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf. He notes that courts have frequently held that the government may consider race/ethnicity if it is reasonably necessary to further a "compelling state interest." Recently, it found that race could be considered in college admissions because the Justices said there was a “compelling state interest” in increasing the percentage of Black and Hispanic college students. Obviously, the government's interest in protecting the lives of thousands of citizens from a major terrorist attack is at least as "compelling" as a better college education, says Banzhaf – a view espoused by many courts, and one just affirmed by a 3-judge decision upholding New York City’s subway search policy. In other words, because preventing another major terrorist attack is obviously a very "compelling state interest," some reasonable use of ethnicity is permitted. The Supreme Court has also held that ethnicity cannot be the only or the controlling factor, but must be considered along with other criteria. In the case of hijackers, these other criteria might include dress (e.g., wearing bulky clothing or heavy clothing in warm weather, carrying a backpack, behavior (e.g., nervousness or inappropriate sweating, absence of eye contact, pacing, etc.), and age or gender. In short, a young male of Arabic appearance who is also carrying a backpack may constitutionally be given greater scrutiny – or singled out for a more extensive inspection – than an elderly Asian female carrying only a small purse. In short, Banzhaf suggests that we make lemonade – or, in this case, British Gatorade – by using this incident while it is still fresh in our minds to seriously rethink our existing policy of spreading our limited and very expensive security resources equally over all passengers, and instead considering concentrating more of these resources on those who are much more likely to be terrorists. At the very least, he says, we should consider this concept based upon its merits, rather than automatically assuming that it is unconstitutional because it involves race or ethnicity.

But none of these claims is true, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf. He argues that the U.S. Supreme Court recently approved the use of race/ethnicity in making governmental decisions, that simple mathematical analysis as well as common experience demonstrates that profiling is effective, and that such profiling would actually reduce the burden on all airline passengers, including those singled out for additional scrutiny. “Racial profiling” – considering race or ethnicity in determining whom to search and/or how extensively to search them – is constitutional if done in accordance with guidelines the U.S. Supreme Court has laid down, says Banzhaf, noting that the court has frequently held that the government may consider race if it is reasonably necessary to further what the Court has called a "compelling state interest." Recently, in two decisions involving affirmative action, it ruled that race could be considered in college admissions because it found there was a “compelling state interest” in improving education by increasing the percentage of minority college students. Obviously, argues Banzhaf, the government's interest in protecting the lives of thousands of citizens from a major terrorist attack is at least as "compelling" as a better college education -- a view just echoed by a unanimous decision of the U.S Court of Appeals upholding New York City's warrantless and suspicionless subway search program. In other words, says Banzhaf, because preventing domestic terrorism is obviously a very "compelling state interest," some reasonable use of ethnicity is permitted. The Supreme Court has also held that ethnicity cannot be the only or even the controlling factor, but must be considered along with other criteria. In the case of hijackers, Banzhaf suggests, these other criteria might include dress (e.g., wearing bulky clothing or heavy clothing in warm weather), carrying a backpack, behavior (e.g., nervousness or inappropriate sweating, absence of eye contact, pacing, etc.), and age or gender. In short, a young male of Arabic appearance who is nervous and also carrying a backpack may constitutionally be given greater scrutiny than an calm elderly Asian female carrying only a small purse. Most Arabs -- even most young Arab males -- aren't terrorists, but neither are all people who appear nervous, wear bulky clothing, or pace, etc. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that more attention should be paid to people who do in contrast to those who do not – which is exactly what good screeners do, says Banzhaf.. Targeted screening is clearly effective, says Banzhaf, noting other areas where it is commonly used. Most women over 40 don’t have breast cancer, and some younger women – as well as a few men – do. Nevertheless, we commonly screen only older women for breast cancer, and similar selection policies utilizing age, gender, and even ethnicity are utilized in screening for many other medical conditions (e.g., Tay-Sachs). Similarly, if the police were seeking to thwart a planned assassination conspiracy by the Mafia (or, alternatively, by the Chinese Triad), they would concentrate their attention on Italians (or Chinese), even though the overwhelming number of members of each group are law-abiding. Actually, the effectiveness of using selection procedures for inspections is so well established in science and industry that there are accepted mathematical equations which show just how effective it is. If TV sets of type A have a three times the probability of having defects than those of type B, a TV manufacturer which can afford only to spot check the TV sets it produces will inspect about three times more of type A than of type B to maximize effectiveness of the screening process. Similarly, suppose we conclude that Arabs are at least four times more likely to be engaged in a conspiracy for a mass bombing of airplanes than non-Arabs, that males are at least twice as likely to be involved than females, and people under forty are three times more likely. Simple mathematics then dictates that, for the maximum effectiveness of any inspection program, young Arabs males should be searched more carefully – or singled out for special screening more often – than those passengers who meet none of these criteria. If only members of “suspect groups” were targeted for extensive searches, and the great majority of passengers subjected to less scrutiny (except for occasional spot inspections), everyone would benefit. We would be more likely to stop potential terrorists and at a far lower cost, and even innocent young Arab males would benefit because lines – and the waiting time on them – would be much shorter for everyone because of decreased inspection time being spent on most passengers. After all, says Banzhaf, it's the total time spend on undergoing security procedures which is the most important concern for most passengers, and that would be reduced for everyone with targeted screening based in part on ethnicity, sex, and age.

This argument by Banzhaf was just dramatically strengthened by a unanimous decision of the U.S Court of Appeals upholding New York City's warrantless and suspicionless subway search program. It said that stopping terrorist attacks was a "compelling state interest," and that the need to prevent a terrorist attack was "immediate," "substantial," and "paramount." Citing earlier Supreme Court cases, it said that “a demonstration of danger as to any particular airport or airline” is not required since “[i]t is sufficient that the Government have a compelling interest in preventing an otherwise pervasive societal problem from spreading”. All that is required is that the “risk to public safety [be] substantial and real” instead of merely “symbolic.” Recently, in decisions involving affirmative action, the Supreme Court ruled that race could be considered in college admissions because it found there was a “compelling state interest” in improving education by increasing the percentage of minority college students.

In South Africa, police seeking to deter terrorism by a white separatist movement would logically single out whites for additional inspection. The plots presenting the most danger to the public -- because they are larger and more complicated -- are those involving a conspiracy of more than few terrorists. Those are even most likely to be those carried out by members of only one ethnic group because such groups are very wary of police infiltrators and thus of those who do not share their religious and ethnic views, and therefore generally do not have the same willingness to die for a cause. In short, selectively selecting Arabs for additional scrutiny is effective because the chances that non-Arabs would be part in a large complicated terrorist conspiracy involving suicide is very small. Actually, the effectiveness of using selection procedures for inspections is so well established in science and industry that there are accepted mathematical equations which show just how effective it is.

Everyone is concerned about not being blown up and not missing their plane because of inspection delays. Concentrating on those most likely to be involved in complex terrorists conspiracies would benefit the great majority of young Arab males who are law abiding since it would increase their chances of not dying in flight, and of not missing their flight due to security delays. "If I could be assured of a substantially greater probability that airline bombers would be detected -- and that waiting time on security inspection times would be significantly reduced -- if only I and other law professors agreed to undergo a longer and more intense search process, I would gladly agree," says Banzhaf.

Banzhaf's position is set forth in more detail below. Court Ruling Opens Door to Airport Racial Profiling - 'TODAY SHOW" [8/15] It's Lawful, Very Effective, and Fair to Arabs, Says Public Interest Law Prof. A new court decision opens the door to using race/ethnicity in targeting certain passengers for more extensive searches at airports -- a policy often called "racial profiling" -- and it comes as the increased problems and delays of extensively searching all airline passengers for liquids, potential timers and detonators, and other terrorist paraphernalia has prompted a renewed call to concentrate screening efforts on those most likely to pose a threat of a real terrorist conspiracy.

But concentrating screening on young Arab or Muslim males is constitutional, far more efficient, and beneficial even to those singled out, says law professor John Banzhaf. He argued his point on yesterday's TODAY Show, and today in a major column, http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/4119589.html Banzhaf argues that it is legal because the US Supreme Court has said that universities can use race as a factor so long as it serves a "compelling state interest" and is not the only factor being considered. The same conclusion was reached by a leading constitutional scholar at the Cato Institute. http://www.cato.org/view_ddispatch.php?viewdate=20060815 AND http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=5399 To those who argue that it is not efficient because terrorists might be able to recruit a few people from outside their ethnic group, Banzhaf notes that we screen only older women for breast cancer, even though some young women -- and even some men -- can contract it, and that screening for Tay-Sachs is concentrated on Jews, and for sickle cell disease those selected tend to be African Americans. He also points out that terrorist plots involving large numbers of conspirators -- the kind which, unlike individual shoe bombers, are most likely to be especially dangerous -- are very unlikely to include members from outside a specific ethnic group because of their fear of infiltrators. Searching a few people from suspect groups far more carefully, and slightly relaxing search criteria for most others, is also fairer because it reduces the time spent by all on airport security. Even though young Arab males might be required to spend twice as much time being screening every time they seek to board a flight, the overall time they spend on line will be drastically reduced because each person ahead of them in line will take less time to be searched, If a White separative group in a majority black country was threatening to blow up airliners, the largely black population and government in that country would obviously be searching all white people far more carefully than the majority of passengers who are black. But, says Banzhaf, organizations representing white citizens in the country should support such measures because they are more likely to keep whites as well as blacks from being blown up, because it would speed up the entire security screening process for everyone regardless of race, and because it would show that the great majority of whites in the country are strongly opposed to those of their race who would use terrorism as a weapon. "Perhaps, for those reasons, Muslim groups in the U.S. should consider supporting rather than opposing selective screening," suggests Banzhaf. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

    Food Addiction Explained, and McDonald's and Kraft Execs Break Silence on Issue

    On Friday [8/18], NBC's DATELINE will show why food companies should bear some of the responsibility for the current epidemic of obesity, expose the lawyer whom so-called "tort reform" groups branded as the "architect" of the obesity law suits in a scathing report issued last month, and explore the "latest developments in brain imaging science suggesting some of us may actually be addicted to fattening food," a possible basis for additional law suits.

    The program will also feature "rare television interviews with one of McDonald's top leaders, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of McDonald's USA, Don Thompson, and Kraft's Senior Vice President in charge of Health and Wellness, Lance Friedmann."  This will allow the public to finally hear from two of the major companies which have been successfully sued in this new movement to use legal action as a weapon against obesity, just as legal action has proven to be such an effective weapon against the public health problem of smoking.

    According to public interest law professor John Banzhaf, at least seven so-called "fat law suits have already been successful," forcing McDonald's, Kraft, Coke, Pepsi and other companies to pay out more than thirty million dollars and to agree to make major changes aimed at reducing the growing and very costly epidemic of obesity.  SEE: http://banzhaf.net/suefat

    Another law suit charging McDonald's with contributing to the obesity of minors has been unanimously upheld by the four federal judges which have ruled upon it, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the most powerful court on business issues second only to the U.S. Supreme Court.  That's one reason why Stone Phillips will also be exploring some of  the latest trends in food marketing to children, including some which may become the basis of future fat law suits.

    The program is expected to use footage shot at the George Washington University Law School where the first successful fat law suit against McDonald's grew out of  a class project in the public interest law course of Prof. John Banzhaf.  It is not just a coincidence that the widely-aired industry-sponsored TV spoof of such law suits was shot in the moot court room of that same law school.

The judge will rule on whether the tobacco companies are liable for the racketeering charges against them and, if so, what remedies to impose.

She ruled that the industry conspired for decades to deceive the public about the dangers of smoking, and now must pay to help smokers kick the habit. The judge also ordered the companies to admit they lied about the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes; a remedy general known as "corrective advertising." She also ordered the companies to refrain from a wide range of wrongful conduct, to warn consumers in advertisements and packaging that tobacco is addictive, and to make many tobacco industry documents public.

However, ASH was disappointed that there was no effective damage done to big tobacco's pocketbook, one cause of which was a ruling by the Court of Appeals sharply limiting the remedies the district court could impose.

are far more options for men seeking to rediscover t= heir libido than there are for women trying to find theirs. In fact, desp= ite rumors -- and even some early clinical evidence -- that Viagra can en= courage both genders to jump in the van and head for the all-night love f= est, studies show it had disappointing results in women. </P> <P>That said, the picture is not as grim as one might think. Experts WebM= D consulted suggest talking to your doctor about the following:</P> <UL> <LI><STRONG>A blood test for low thyroid function and iron deficiency ane= mia</STRONG>, two common disorders that can affect sex drive.=20 <LI><STRONG>Discuss whether or not you may be suffering from low-level de= pression</STRONG> -- which can affect libido. If you are already taking a= n SSRI antidepressant drug, discuss switching to another type of medicati= on, which won't dampen sex drive.=20 <LI><STRONG>Localized estrogen therapy.</STRONG> Placing estrogen directl= y into the vagina soothes vaginal tissue, and allows the secretions neces= sary for comfortable sex and possibly even an increase in sexual desire, = says Goldstein. Unlike oral estrogens that carry some cancer risks, he sa= ys estrogens applied locally to the vagina are generally safe. They are a= vailable as suppository tablets, creams, or "rings," which sit inside the= vagina and give off small doses of the hormone over time.=20 <LI><STRONG>Compounded testosterone cream.</STRONG> Many compounding phar= macies (they make medicines from scratch) offer testosterone creams and g= els, but you'll need a doctor's prescription. Corio says they can be appl= ied to the vagina to increase sensation, or to the clitoris to increase o= rgasm.=20 <LI><STRONG>Vitamin E.</STRONG> When used locally in the vagina it can he= lp rehydrate tissue and may possibly increase sensation. No need for a pr= escription here; Corio says just stick a pin in a vitamin E capsule and a= pply to the vagina several times a week, even if you're not having sex. A= nd be sure to use a lubricant when you are having sex =96 either vitamin = E or a commercially prepared product such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide.=20 <LI><STRONG>Zestra.</STRONG> A small, placebo-controlled trial published = in the <EM>Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy</EM> in 2003 showed that wh= en used as a genital massage oil, this proprietary blend of botanicals (i= ncluding borage seed and evening primrose oils, Angelica root and vitamin= s C and E) provided a statistically significant increase in arousal, desi= re, genital stimulation, ability to orgasm, and pleasure, in 20 women wit= h or without sexual desire problems. The treatment also worked equally we= ll on women using SSRI antidepressant medicines.=20 <LI><STRONG>ArginMax.</STRONG> In a study of 77 women, a controlled doubl= e blind study found the nutritional supplement ArginMax increased sexual = desire and satisfaction in more than twice the number of women taking pla= cebo. The research was published in the <EM>Journal of Sex and Marital Th= erapy</EM> in 2001. </LI></UL> <P>Before using of supplements, you should first have a discussion with y= our doctor as side effects or drug interactions can occur.</P> <P><STRONG>Don't Be Driven by Declining Sex Drive </STRONG></P> <P>As frustrating as a lagging libido can be for some women, for others, = it can simply be a rite of passage to a quieter, gentler time. In fact, G= oldstein says that for many women, and their partners, a lessened sex dri= ve is <EM>not</EM> a problem and is often replaced by other intimate and = bonding experiences. </P> <P>As such, Goldstein reminds us that a reduced need for sex and a declin= ing drive are not medical problems -- and if they don't cause you distres= s, there is no need to seek treatment.</P> <P>"Just because your sex drive is different, doesn't mean there is somet= hing wrong or that you have to try and fix it. If less sex isn't botherin= g you, your partner, or your relationship, then take heart -- you are mat= uring in the way nature intended," says Goldstein. </P> <HR> <P class=3Dcredits>Published June 19, 2006.</P> <P class=3Dcredits>SOURCES: Laura Corio, MD, clinical instructor of obste= trics and gynecology, Mt.

Some of their arguments paralleled those also being made by public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has brought more than one hundred successful anti-discrimination legal actions, but nevertheless strongly supports some kind of terrorist profiling. Congressman Pete King, the powerful Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, was first asked by Fox host Chris Wallace about the "politically-incorrect" idea that some passengers should be treated differently. King replied that we must put political correctness to the side, and that screeners should be able to factor in ethnic origin since, with very rare exceptions, the overwhelming odds are that terrorists will be of Mid-Eastern or South-Asian origin. In urging that screeners should have the right to consider ethnicity along with other factors without fear of losing the jobs or being sued, he argued that a similar airplane bombing threat from either the KKK or the IRA would certainly trigger increased scrutiny of white passengers. Asked by host Wallace whether Israel's screening program factors in that a passenger is a young Muslim, Rafi Ron, former head of security for the Israeli Airport Authority, replied that we do take into consideration the background of the person and that is one of the things we certainly look for -- although he emphasized that they pay more attention of other factors, including extensive interviews. Wallace then asked should we in the US profile, and whether it would be a problem to target blond blue-eyed people who spoke Norwegian if Norwegians threatened terrorist bbombings. Rand Beers, former Presidential Counterterrorism Advisor, said "no," of course it would not be a problem, although we would have to keep out guard up generally. He want on to says that he didn't think there's any way around the notion that you at least have to take into account the possibility of this kind of threat. He also had a problem with the rigidity of our system which often singles out elderly women, and said that there are a number of factors which must be taken into account. After the panel seemed to agree that the Israeli system of universal interrogation would probably not be justified here, especially since we have far more passengers [746 million vs. 8.9 million] and far more flights [11 million vs. 62,000] than Israel, King announced that his Committee on Homeland Security would be holding hearings in early September on the related issue of scientific research to combat terrorism. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/19/AR2006081900846.html?sub=AR Below are excerpts from Prof. Banzhaf writings on this same subject: Note that I – by most accounts a very liberal if not radical public interest law professor who has won more than 100 legal proceedings involving discrimination based on race, ethnicity, age and other factors – and conservative/libertarian constitutional scholar Robert Levy from the Cato Institute, both have concluded that such plans can be made constitutional. Indeed, since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that universities may consider race in admissions if it serves a “compelling state interest” (e.g., greater diversity), it seems clear that using race/ethnicity as one factor in a suspect-terrorism profile would be constitutional since the governmental interest in preventing another mass terrorist attack is at least as “compelling” – which is the clear conclusion of the court which just upheld New York City’s suspicionless subway search program, as well as earlier Supreme Court decisions. As a former mathematician, I also know that there are well-developed mathematical analyses and formulas for improving searches by applying screening criteria, and these clearly show that – whatever other procedures are followed – airport searches will be far more efficient if there is additional scrutiny based upon factors such as ethnicity, age, and gender, among others. {{1}} Though some argue that we must exhaustively screen all passengers equally, since some terrorists may lie outside the suspect categories, and most people within the suspect categories are not terrorists, this is contrary to everyday experience and the mathematics of effective screening: A. Screenings for breast cancer are largely concentrated on older women, even though some young women – and even a few men – contract the disease, and most older women don’t. B. Similarly, screenings for Tay-Sachs are performed largely (but not exclusively) on European Jews, and tests for sickle cell disease occur mostly for blacks, etc. C. If the Capitol Police were trying to stop a plan by the mafia (or the Chinese triad) to assassinate Members of Congress, Members would insist that they apply greater scrutiny to persons of Italian (or Chinese) ancestry, even though either group might employ outsiders for the job. D. Indeed, the most dangerous terrorism threats are posed by conspiracies of many people, all ready to die for the cause, and in such cases the terrorists would be very unlikely to admit anyone from outside their ethnic and religious group because of concerns about leaks and infiltration. In addition to showing the public that targeted airport searching would be both constitutional and much more efficient, the hearing could also make a point that the public has not heard. Unlike situations where blacks are singled out by the police for more frequent automobile stops, or immigration authorities specifically target those who appear Hispanic, providing increased scrutiny for young Arab/Muslim males benefits them as well as all other passengers. Searching a few people from suspect groups far more carefully, and slightly relaxing search criteria for most others, {{2}}is fair because it reduces the overall time spent by all on airport security. Even though young Arab males might be required to spend twice as much time being screened every time they seek to board a flight, the overall time they spend on line will be drastically reduced because each person ahead of them in line will take less time to be searched. Talk show host Bill O”Reilly explained that if the IRA was threatening airplane bombings in the U.S., he as a person of Irish descent would hope that screeners would concentrate on persons like him. This would help protect him as well as all others from being killed, and decrease that chances that he would miss his plane waiting to clear security. If I lived in an African country where a white supremacist group was threatening bombings, I would likewise support a policy of more carefully searching all white passengers like me, and for exactly the same reasons. Clearly, reasonable people can debate whether a terrorist profiling program, including race/ethnicity, age, and gender as relevant factors, would be constitutional, effective, and fair – but the time for more meaningless debate by pundits and other talking heads has passed. The only way we can answer these questions with some certainty would be for the TSA to experiment with such a program at a few select airports. This, for the first time, would give us real data on how well it works, how much it decreases the time spent on security procedures while it increases their effectiveness, etc. It would also allow the issue to be raised in court so that we can all get some reasoned judicial opinions on constitutionality – and, if necessary, fine tune the policy if necessary to meet constitutional muster. {{1}} Actually, the effectiveness of using selection procedures for inspections is so well established in science and industry that there are accepted mathematical equations which show just how effective it is. If TV sets of type A have three times the probability of having defects than those of type B, a TV manufacturer with limited resources to inspect the TV sets it produces will inspect about three times more of type A than of type B to maximize effectiveness of the screening process. Similarly, suppose we conclude that Arabs are at least four times more likely to be engaged in a conspiracy for a mass bombing of airplanes than non-Arabs, that males are at least twice as likely to be involved as females, and that people under forty are three times more likely to be conspirators than those over forty. Simple mathematics then dictates that, for the maximum effectiveness of any inspection program, young Arabs males should be searched more carefully – or singled out for special screening more often – than those passengers who meet none of these criteria, but who should nevertheless be singled out occasionally and at random. {{2}} HOW A POSSIBLE TERRORIST-PROFILE SCREENING MIGHT WORK - ROUGH DRAFT 1. All passengers would be required to go through metal detectors and undergo an appropriate level of screening – probably one just somewhat less demanding than now required of all passengers. 2. Where several (NOT just one or two) of the following factors are present, however, passengers may be required to go through one or more higher levels of security screening: A. SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: undue nervousness, inappropriate sweating, pacing, inability or unwillingness to make eye contact, furtive glancing around, looking at ground, etc. B. PRESUMPTIVELY ARAB & OR MUSLIM: ID document from country which is predominantly Arabic or Muslin, wearing distinctive clothing and/or distinctive beard and facial hair, name appears Arabic or Muslim, especially if traveling to or from Arabic and/or Muslim country C. SUSPICIOUS CLOTHING: Wearing inappropriately heavy clothing in warm weather, apparently inappropriately bulky clothing, unusual bulges under clothing, clothing with unusual stains, acid burns, etc. D. YOUTH: Apparently under the age of 35 (based entirely on appearance without the need to check age on ID document presented) E. OTHER SUSPICIOUS FACTORS: Seeming overly eager to proceed through screening, suddenly switching lines at checkpoint, inappropriate chanting, praying, or mumbling, seemingly dazed, etc. F. GENDER: male (as based upon direct observation without need to check ID document) G. MISC: Other factors based upon Israeli research and experience, testing and research by American authorities, etc. — expected to develop and expand with experience. H. ASSOCIATION: Is traveling with – appears to be traveling with or is friendly towards – another person who meet the criteria (e.g., a woman traveling with a very nervous young Arab male) 3. When several of the above factors are present, the person will be subjected to one or more additional layers of security, which might include: A. Additional search of clothing, baggage, etc. B. Asked questions by trained screener/interrogator C. Ticket stamped so as to require second screening at boarding gate PROFESSOR JOHN F.

    Program Suggests Major Changes Coming From Two Industry Leaders

    Friday night's DATELINE program on NBC-TV provided strong evidence that fat law suits -- seven of which have already been successful, and two of which are still pending, with no losses to date -- are having a major impact on the food industry, forcing it to reformulate foods (like Chicken McNuggets and Oreo Cookies), provide more healthy food choices and nutritional information, and also impacting sponsorships, promotions and advertising.
    http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14415766/

    Interestingly, interviews with two top food executives -- for Kraft and McDonald's -- provided strong hints that additional changes are about to occur.

    Kraft, the company behind Dunkables, Lunchables, and Scooby-Do macaroni-n-cheese say they have discontinued all TV and print ads geared towards kids, unless the products meet the company’s “sensible solutions” [health criteria] standards.  However, program host Stone Phillips argued that it continues to target very young children with cartoon characters on boxes and displays, including Clifford the dog, Dora the Explorer, and Sponge Bob Square Pants.  It was then announced that Kraft has decided not to renew its licensing agreement with Dora or Clifford, leading Stone to wonder if this might be a sign that the industry was beginning to move away from cartoon spokescharacters for children's products. SEE TRANSCRIPT BELOW

    Similarly, host Stone Phillips, in his interview with Don Thompson, Chief operating officer of McDonald's, raised the issue of disclosure on nutritional information.  After noting that McDonald's had already moved -- perhaps under pressure of fat law suits, two of which were successful against McDonald's -- to providing nutritional information in more and more format, he hinted that listing calorie and fat information on the menu boards where people look before they make their food selection could be the next major step for the fast food giant.  SEE TRANSCRIPT BELOW


    TRANSCRIPT:  AN END OF SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS?

    Critics point out the company still targets kids, much younger than 11, bombarding them in stores with cartoon spokescharacters.

        Phillips: Clifford the dog and Dora the Explorer. I mean, this is clearly aimed at very young children. I mean, who’s watching Clifford and who’s watching Dora?

        Friedman: We know that there are concerns that people have about this kind of packaging and licensing program. We’re going to continue to look at that.

        Phillips: We’re not seeing Dora the Explorer on packages of spinach—

        Friedman: again we’re very interested on continuing a dialogue.

        Phillips: So clearly you’re promoting the less healthy end of the portfolio..

        Friedman: Well, one of the actually one of the things that we intend to do as part of our over-all effort in kids marketing is to introduce new products that meet our Sensible Solution standards. Those may carry the some of the licensed characters as well.

        Phillips: I hear what the company line is, but I’m driving at is it’s just not the way to market food.

        Friedman: Well, the way to market food is what we’re trying to do with our TV initiative first, and then our Web sites, And this is probably the next frontier. We’re going to be looking at this.

        Phillips: So maybe its goodbye Sponge Bob Square Pants?

    No response to that. But Kraft has decided not to renew it’s licensing agreement with Dora or Clifford. 


    TRANSCRIPT: DISCLOSURE OF FAT AND CALORIES CONTENT ON MENU BOARDS


    Critics say if McDonald’s really wanted to help people stay fit—the company would alert customers to the potential dangers of some of its more fattening items.

        Phillips: One of your staunch critics, Law Professor Banzhaf, says that there should be warning signs on your doors that fattening foods can lead to heart disease and diabetes.  What do you think?

        Thompson: Well I wonder where we stop? At what point do you put labels on grocery stores, do you hang those labels over the meat sections, do you hang the labels down cereal aisles?

    Perhaps a better idea, say nutritionists, is to require a calorie count on the menu board, so customers can see how fattening an item is,  at the moment they decide what to buy.

    Over the years, McDonald's has put nutritional information in various places, from the web to back of tray-liners. This year, the food giant decided to push the envelope or the wrapper, and display the calorie count on your order’s packaging. But it’s still after the purchase, not at the point-of-sale.

        Neil Martin: A lotta good it does after you’ve already purchased your meal to see what’s actually in there.

        Phillips: That’s not when you need the information?

        Martin: Right.

        Phillips: I mean, you need that information when you’re making your selections. Right?

    This is a touchy topic in the industry. When the restaurant chain “Ruby Tuesday” put a calorie count on its menu, sales dropped. The calorie count was largely abandoned.

    But the people who invented the Big Mac, perfected the drive-thru, and introduced supersizing say they are committed to change.

    Kraft, the company behind Dunkables, Lunchables, and Scooby-Do macaroni-n-cheese say they have discontinued all TV and print ads geared towards kids, unless the products meet the company’s “sensible solutions” [health criteria] standards.  However, DATELINE program host Stone Phillips argued that it continues to target very young children with cartoon characters on boxes and displays, including Clifford the dog, and Dora the Explorer.  It was then announced that Kraft has decided not to renew its licensing agreement with Dora or Clifford, leading Stone to wonder if this might be a sign that the industry was beginning to move away from cartoon spokescharacters for children's products.

    Similarly, host Stone Phillips, in his interview with Don Thompson, Chief operating officer of McDonald's, raised the issue of the need for disclosure on nutritional information.  After noting that McDonald's had already moved -- perhaps under pressure of fat law suits, two of which were successful against McDonald's -- to providing nutritional information in more and more formats, he hinted that listing calorie and fat information on the menu boards where people look before they make their food selection could be the next major step for the fast food giant.  SEE TRANSCRIPT BELOW


    TRANSCRIPT:  AN END TO CARTOON SPOKESCHARACTERS?

    Critics point out the company still targets kids, much younger than 11, bombarding them in stores with cartoon spokescharacters.

        Phillips: Clifford the dog and Dora the Explorer. I mean, this is clearly aimed at very young children. I mean, who’s watching Clifford and who’s watching Dora?

        Friedman: We know that there are concerns that people have about this kind of packaging and licensing program. We’re going to continue to look at that.

        Phillips: We’re not seeing Dora the Explorer on packages of spinach—

        Friedman: again we’re very interested on continuing a dialogue.

        Phillips: So clearly you’re promoting the less healthy end of the portfolio..

        Friedman: Well, one of the actually one of the things that we intend to do as part of our over-all effort in kids marketing is to introduce new products that meet our Sensible Solution standards. Those may carry the some of the licensed characters as well.

        Phillips: I hear what the company line is, but I’m driving at is it’s just not the way to market food.

        Friedman: Well, the way to market food is what we’re trying to do with our TV initiative first, and then our Web sites, And this is probably the next frontier. We’re going to be looking at this.

        Phillips: So maybe its goodbye Sponge Bob Square Pants?

    No response to that. But Kraft has decided not to renew it’s licensing agreement with Dora or Clifford. 


    TRANSCRIPT: DISCLOSURE OF FAT AND CALORIE CONTENT ON MENU BOARDS


    Critics say if McDonald’s really wanted to help people stay fit—the company would alert customers to the potential dangers of some of its more fattening items.

        Phillips: One of your staunch critics, Law Professor Banzhaf, says that there should be warning signs on your doors that fattening foods can lead to heart disease and diabetes.  What do you think?

        Thompson: Well I wonder where we stop? At what point do you put labels on grocery stores, do you hang those labels over the meat sections, do you hang the labels down cereal aisles?

    Perhaps a better idea, say nutritionists, is to require a calorie count on the menu board, so customers can see how fattening an item is, at the moment they decide what to buy.

    Over the years, McDonald's has put nutritional information in various places, from the web to back of tray-liners. This year, the food giant decided to push the envelope on the wrapper, and display the calorie count on your order’s packaging. But it’s still after the purchase, not at the point-of-sale.

        Neil Martin: A lotta good it does after you’ve already purchased your meal to see what’s actually in there.

        Phillips: That’s not when you need the information?

        Martin: Right.

        Phillips: I mean, you need that information when you’re making your selections. Right?

    This is a touchy topic in the industry. When the restaurant chain “Ruby Tuesday” put a calorie count on its menu, sales dropped. The calorie count was largely abandoned.

    But the people who invented the Big Mac, perfected the drive-thru, and introduced supersizing say they are committed to change.

    Friday night's DATELINE program on NBC-TV provided strong evidence that fat law suits -- seven of which have already been successful, and two of which are still pending, with no losses to date -- are having a major impact on the food industry, forcing it to reformulate fattening foods (like Chicken McNuggets and Oreo Cookies), provide more healthy food choices and nutritional information, and also impacting sponsorships, promotions and advertising.

NBC NIGHTLY NEWS VIDEO: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/ Indeed, says Banzhaf, the widespread assumption that racial profiling is automatically unconstitutional is hindering us from giving serious consideration to whether or not using race or ethnicity as a factor might make airport screening more effective and also better even for those singled out by race, says Banzhaf. In 2003 the U.S. Supreme Court said that governments can use race in selecting applicants for college admission provided that such use serves a "compelling state interest" (e.g, more diverse classrooms), and was only one of several factors considered. In 2005 the Supreme Court refused to strike down the temporary assignment of prisoners based solely upon race. Many other courts have likewise upheld programs which treat people differently based upon race where they were found to serve a "compelling state interest" – minority set-asides, approval of voting plans which affect minorities, etc. “Racial profiling” – considering race or ethnicity as one factor in determining whom to search and/or how extensively to search them – is constitutional if done in accordance with guidelines the U.S. Supreme Court has laid down, says Banzhaf, noting that the courts have frequently held that the government may consider race if it is reasonably necessary to further a "compelling state interest" This argument by Banzhaf was just dramatically strengthened by a unanimous decision of the U.S Court of Appeals upholding New York City's warrantless and suspicionless subway search program. It said that stopping terrorist attacks was a "compelling state interest," and that the need to prevent a terrorist attack was "immediate," "substantial," and "paramount." Citing earlier Supreme Court cases, it said that “a demonstration of danger as to any particular airport or airline” is not required since “[i]t is sufficient that the Government have a compelling interest in preventing an otherwise pervasive societal problem from spreading”. All that is required is that the “risk to public safety [be] substantial and real” instead of merely “symbolic.” The Supreme Court has also held that ethnicity cannot be the only or even the controlling factor, but must be considered along with other criteria. In the case of hijackers, Banzhaf suggests, these other criteria might include dress (e.g., wearing bulky clothing or heavy clothing in warm weather), carrying a backpack, suspicious behavior (e.g., nervousness or sweating, absence of eye contact, pacing, etc.), and age or gender. In short, a young male of Arabic appearance who is nervous and also carrying a backpack may constitutionally be given greater scrutiny than an calm elderly Asian female carrying only a small purse. Most Arabs – even most young Arab males – aren't terrorists, but neither are all people who appear nervous, wear bulky clothing, or pace, etc. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that more attention should be paid to people who do in contrast to those who do not – which is exactly what good airport screeners do, says Banzhaf. Now they simply have to apply the same process to other factors which increase the probability of identifying a terrorist. Targeted screening is clearly effective, says Banzhaf, noting other areas where it is commonly used. Most women over 40 don’t have breast cancer, and some younger women – as well as a few men – do. Nevertheless, we commonly screen only older women for breast cancer because it is the only way to effectively detect the disease, and similar selection policies utilizing age, gender, and even ethnicity are utilized in screening for many other medical conditions (e.g., Tay-Sachs). Similarly, if the police were seeking to thwart a planned assassination conspiracy by the Mafia (or, alternatively, by the Chinese Triad), they would concentrate their attention on Italians (or Chinese), even though the overwhelming number of members of each group are law-abiding. In South Africa, police seeking to deter terrorism by a white separatist movement would logically single out whites for additional inspection. The plots presenting the most danger to the public – because they are larger and more complicated – are those involving a conspiracy of more than few terrorists. Those are even most likely to be those carried out by members of only one ethnic group because such groups are very wary of police infiltrators and thus of those who do not share their religious and ethnic views, and therefore generally do not have the same willingness to die for a cause. In short, selectively picking Arabs for additional scrutiny is effective because the chances that non-Arabs would be part of a large complicated terrorist conspiracy involving suicide is very small. Actually, the effectiveness of using selection procedures for inspections is so well established in science and industry that there are accepted mathematical equations which show just how effective it is. If TV sets of type A have three times the probability of having defects than those of type B, a TV manufacturer with limited resources to inspect the TV sets it produces will inspect about three times more of type A than of type B to maximize effectiveness of the screening process. Similarly, suppose we conclude that Arabs are at least four times more likely to be engaged in a conspiracy for a mass bombing of airplanes than non-Arabs, that males are at least twice as likely to be involved as females, and that people under forty are three times more likely to be conspirators than those over forty. Simple mathematics then dictates that, for the maximum effectiveness of any inspection program, young Arabs males should be searched more carefully – or singled out for special screening more often – than those passengers who meet none of these criteria, but who should nevertheless be singled out occasionally and at random.. If only members of “suspect groups” were targeted for extensive searches, and the great majority of passengers subjected to less scrutiny (except for occasional spot inspections), everyone would benefit. We would be more likely to stop potential terrorists and at a far lower cost, and even innocent young Arab males would benefit because lines – and the waiting time on them – would be much shorter for everyone because of decreased inspection time being spent on most passengers. After all, says Banzhaf, it's the total time spent on undergoing security procedures which is the key concern for most passengers, and that would be reduced for everyone with targeted screening based in part on ethnicity, sex, and age. Everyone is concerned about not being blown up and not missing their plane because of inspection delays. Concentrating on those most likely to be involved in complex terrorists conspiracies would benefit the great majority of young Arab males who are law abiding since it would increase their chances of not dying in flight, and of not missing their flight due to security delays. "If I could be assured of a substantially greater probability that airline bombers would be detected – and that waiting time on security inspection procedures would be significantly reduced -- if only I and other law professors agreed to undergo a longer and more intense search process, I would gladly agree," says Banzhaf.

This new attack on gender-based pricing discrimination is concentrated in California, but could easily spread to other states as lawyers realize how easy it is to make big money by targeting wide-spread promotional giveaways and discounts for women, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf. Banzhaf and his law students have brought more than 100 successful legal actions against this kind of gender discrimination, including those which required women to pay more than men to launder shirts or for a simple haircut, as well as more conventional ladies nights which create an economic advantage for women. "Virtually every state has laws which prohibit gender discrimination by businesses, and every modern legal challenge to preferential treatment for women has been successful," says Banzhaf, noting that California' Supreme Court found ladies night illegal more than twenty years ago. "Sports teams in California and elsewhere probably knew that providing something extra for women but not men is illegal, but probably hoped that it would bring in more new business than any downside cost. Now several are facing major class action law suits, and even relenting is not making the law suits go away." "Providing gifts only to female fans on Mother's Day is like providing them only to white males over forty on Presidents' Day, or only to Christians on Easter", says Banzhaf, noting that permitting such discrimination based upon gender -- where we would never permit it based upon race or religion -- sends the misleading message that gender discrimination is not as illegal or as unlawful as race discrimination. "While many big city bars and other nightspots reportedly would like to attract more white customers to avoid the appearance of being 'too black,' society would never tolerate a promotion where white patrons get a special gift, half-price drinks, or other tangible economic benefits." says Banzhaf. Bars seeking to attract more white customers are free to put on music or to employ decor which might be more pleasing to them, just as sports teams are free to do. Baseball teams seeking to attract more female fans on Mother's Day are free to interview wives or mothers of players, provide more pictures of players at home with their wives and children, and other things which might have greater appeal to women -- provided the benefits are available to all. But they can no more give free gifts only to women to attract more female fans than dogs shows, ice skating events, and women's sports teams can give free gifts to men in the hopes of attracting more males to attend, says Banzhaf To those who argue that ladies-nights suits are frivolous, Banzhaf notes that teams and bars are taking them very seriously by changing their practices and paying out big settlements. Such suits are almost always successful, and no state legislature has ever changed the law to permit such gender-based promotions. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

This is not surprising, since 62% said they were worried about another terrorist attack, and, by a ratio of 56% to only 33%, they believe that September Eleventh was a more significant historical event than Pearl Harbor. "Even a higher percentage would have voted for a system which based additional screening on factors like gender, age, country of origin, and manner of dress," suggests public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, "especially if they knew that using such factors was constitutional, effective, and not unfair even those who were singled out." Unfortunately, serious consideration of such a policy has been largely prevented by misleading claims that any consideration of race or ethnicity in developing suspect terrorist profiling is illegal or unfair, and arguments that it would not be effective because there can be non-Mid-Eastern terrorists. Banzhaf – by most accounts a very liberal if not radical public interest law professor who has won more than 100 legal proceedings involving discrimination based on race, ethnicity, age and other factors – and conservative/libertarian constitutional scholar Robert Levy from the Cato Institute, both have concluded that such plans can be made constitutional. Indeed, since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that universities may consider race in admissions if it serves a “compelling state interest” (e.g., greater diversity), it seems clear that using race/ethnicity as one factor in a suspect-terrorism profile would be constitutional since the governmental interest in preventing another mass terrorist attack is at least as “compelling” – which is the clear conclusion of the court which just upheld New York City’s suspicionless subway search program, as well as earlier Supreme Court and lower court decisions. As a former mathematician, he also says that there are well-developed mathematical analyses and formulas for improving searches by applying screening criteria, and these clearly show that – whatever other procedures are followed – airport searches will be far more efficient if there is additional scrutiny based upon factors such as ethnicity, age, and gender, among others. {{1}} Though some argue that we must exhaustively screen all passengers equally, since some terrorists may lie outside the suspect categories, and most people within the suspect categories are not terrorists, this is contrary to everyday experience and the mathematics of effective screening: A. Screenings for breast cancer are largely concentrated on older women, even though some young women – and even a few men – contract the disease, and most older women don’t. B. Similarly, screenings for Tay-Sachs are performed largely (but not exclusively) on European Jews, and tests for sickle cell disease occur mostly for blacks, etc. C. If the Capitol Police were trying to stop a plan by the mafia (or the Chinese triad) to assassinate Members of Congress, Members would insist that they apply greater scrutiny to persons of Italian (or Chinese) ancestry, even though either group might employ outsiders for the job. D. Indeed, the most dangerous terrorism threats are posed by conspiracies of many people, all ready to die for the cause, and in such cases the terrorists would be very unlikely to admit anyone from outside their ethnic and religious group because of concerns about leaks and infiltration. In addition to showing the public that targeted airport searching would be both constitutional and much more efficient, there is an additional point that the public has not heard. Unlike situations where blacks are singled out by the police for more frequent automobile stops, or immigration authorities specifically target those who appear Hispanic, providing increased scrutiny for young Arab/Muslim males benefits them as well as all other passengers. Searching a few people from suspect groups far more carefully, and slightly relaxing search criteria for most others, {{2}}is fair because it reduces the overall time spent by all on airport security. Even though young Middle Eastern males might be required to spend twice as much time being screened every time they seek to board a flight, the overall time they spend on line will be drastically reduced because each person ahead of them in line will take less time to be searched. Talk show host Bill O”Reilly explained that if the IRA was threatening airplane bombings in the U.S., he as a person of Irish descent would hope that screeners would concentrate on persons like him. This would help protect him as well as all others from being killed, and decrease that chances that he would miss his plane waiting to clear security. Banzhaf says that if he lived in an African country where a white supremacist group was threatening bombings, he would likewise support a policy of more carefully searching all white passengers, and for exactly the same reasons. Clearly, reasonable people can debate whether a terrorist profiling program, including race/ethnicity, age, and gender as relevant factors, would be constitutional, effective, and fair – but the time for more meaningless debate by pundits and other talking heads has passed. The only way we can answer these questions with some certainty would be for the TSA to experiment with such a program at a few select airports, argues Banzhaf. This, for the first time, would give us real data on how well it works, how much it decreases the time spent on security procedures while it increases their effectiveness, etc. It would also allow the issue to be raised in court so that we can all get some reasoned judicial opinions on constitutionality – and, if necessary, fine tune the policy if necessary to meet constitutional muster. NOTES: {{1}} Actually, the effectiveness of using selection procedures for inspections is so well established in science and industry that there are accepted mathematical equations which show just how effective it is. If TV sets of type A have three times the probability of having defects than those of type B, a TV manufacturer with limited resources to inspect the TV sets it produces will inspect about three times more of type A than of type B to maximize effectiveness of the screening process. Similarly, suppose we conclude that Arabs are at least four times more likely to be engaged in a conspiracy for a mass bombing of airplanes than non-Arabs, that males are at least twice as likely to be involved as females, and that people under forty are three times more likely to be conspirators than those over forty. Simple mathematics then dictates that, for the maximum effectiveness of any inspection program, young Arabs males should be searched more carefully – or singled out for special screening more often – than those passengers who meet none of these criteria, but who should nevertheless be singled out occasionally and at random. {{2}} HOW A POSSIBLE TERRORIST-PROFILE SCREENING MIGHT WORK - ROUGH DRAFT 1. All passengers would be required to go through metal detectors and undergo an appropriate level of screening – probably one just somewhat less demanding than now required of all passengers. 2. Where several (NOT just one or two) of the following factors are present, however, passengers may be required to go through one or more higher levels of security screening: A. SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: undue nervousness, inappropriate sweating, pacing, inability or unwillingness to make eye contact, furtive glancing around, looking at ground, etc. B. PRESUMPTIVELY ARAB & OR MUSLIM: ID document from country which is predominantly Arabic or Muslin, wearing distinctive clothing and/or distinctive beard and facial hair, name appears Arabic or Muslim, especially if traveling to or from Arabic and/or Muslim country, personal appearance, etc. C. SUSPICIOUS CLOTHING: Wearing inappropriately heavy clothing in warm weather, apparently inappropriately bulky clothing, unusual bulges under clothing, clothing with unusual stains, acid burns, etc. D. YOUTH: Apparently under the age of 35 (based entirely on appearance without the need to check age on ID document presented) E. OTHER SUSPICIOUS FACTORS: Seeming overly eager to proceed through screening, suddenly switching lines at checkpoint, inappropriate chanting, praying, or mumbling, seemingly dazed, etc. F. GENDER: male (as based upon direct observation without need to check ID document) G. MISC: Other factors based upon Israeli research and experience, testing and research by American authorities, etc. — expected to develop and expand with experience. H. ASSOCIATION: Is traveling with – appears to be traveling with or is friendly towards – another person who meet the criteria (e.g., a woman traveling with a very nervous young Arab male) 3. When several of the above factors are present, the person will be subjected to one or more additional layers of security, which might include: A. Additional search of clothing, baggage, etc. B. Asked questions by trained screener/interrogator C. Ticket stamped so as to require second screening at boarding gate PROFESSOR JOHN F.

"Their argument of personal responsibility has little legal effect if we can show -- as this study demonstrates -- that virtually nobody can make meaningful choices if they don't know the calorie content," says Banzhaf, adding that this was exactly the point made by a federal judge in upholding the underlying theory of a law suit against McDonald's for contributing to the obesity of minors; a suit now proceeding in federal court. The fact that fat people as well as consumers of healthy weight did equally poorly in estimating calorie content shows that eating more calories than is healthful is not brought on by some mental condition or lack of will power, argues Banzhaf, since otherwise the perceptions of the two groups would be different. Many fast food companies deliberately misrepresent nutritional information about their foods in order to lull consumers (including parents of children) into eating more than is healthy for them, says Banzhaf, and cites several examples involving McDonald's. Many McDonald's ads stressing physical activity suggest that getting adequate amounts of exercise is the answer to the obesity problem, and impliedly suggest that kids who play ball or are otherwise active can safety consume McDonald's offerings. Yet simple calculations show that, to work off the calories in a typical McDonald's meal, kids might have to engage in 8 to 10 hours of sustained physical activity, a virtual impossibility. McDonald's, apparently under pressure from the two fat law suits which have so far cost it about $20 million in damages, has moved from denying that it has any obligation to provide nutritional information to now providing some in brochures, on wall charts, and even on wrappers and tray mats. However, because it prints the information on the underside of tray mats, most people don't see it -- and in any event it comes too late to help them decide on a healthy purchase. Banzhaf says that there is another major problem which hasn't been pointed out, and it is that the nutritional information will all be based upon an adult male. For example, the wrappers on a Happy Meal with Cheeseburger will presumably show that it contains 40% of the recommended daily allowance of fat [26/65 grams]. But this is based upon a hypothetical adult male who consumes 2000 calories and 65 grams of fat per day. But children 4-8 years old, for whom McDonald's admits the Happy Meals are intended, don't eat anything like that amount of fat and calories in their daily diet. So for them the 26 grams of fat in a Happy Meal with Cheeseburger represents a much larger -- and potentially much more dangerous -- block of fat in a single meal than for an adult male. Ironically, McDonald's web site does provide percentage nutritional information for its Happy Meals in terms of children, but only for nutrients like vitamins. So, while it's proud to report that its cheeseburger Happy Meal contains enough vitamin B6 to provide 108% of a 4-8 year old's nutritional requirements, nowhere on its web site nor on its wrappers will it tell parents what 26 grams of fat means in terms of the nutritional requirements for the intended consumer of the Happy Meal. Many people forget that for years manufacturers of packaged foods resisted pressure to disclose calories and other nutritional information. First they argued that people were not interested, and that it would only confuse them. Then they said -- as fast food companies do today -- that anyone who is curious can ask a clerk for the information, or look on a convenient wall chart. But that's obviously too inconvenient and embarrassing for most consumers. "The obstinate refusal of packaged food companies to provide nutritional information clearly and conspicuously at a point before a consumer made a purchase led to strict requirements for disclosure which many shoppers today rely upon. Ultimately -- whether through public pressure, legal pressure, or legislation -- fast food companies will be forced to show consumers how many calories are in an offering before they step up to the counter to order it," argues Banzhaf.

Moreover, if the global warming suit is successful, it could open the door to California and other states suing the major fast food companies for billions in damages, arguing that, like the auto companies, they produce a product which is a "public nuisance" which imposes massive health care and other costs on California, suggests Banzhaf, whose law students put together the first of seven successful fat law suits, and who appeared in "Super Size Me." The successful law suits against the cigarette companies were based on the novel legal theory that companies whose products impose health and other costs on a state can be held liable for those costs. The tobacco companies agreed to pay almost $250 billion to settle the suits, and also made many additional concessions. The same principle underlies the global warming law suit filed today, argues Banzhaf. The complaint alleges that, under the law, a “public nuisance” is any unreasonable interference with a public right, or an action that interferes with or causes harm to life, health or property, and that automobiles fall within that category because they cause harm to health and impose costs on California. But the same argument can be made for fast food companies which are a major factor in the expensive epidemic of obesity, just as cars are a major factor in producing greenhouse gases. Underlying all three types of law suits -- against tobacco companies, automobile companies, and fast food companies -- is the basic economic principle that forcing companies to bear the costs their products impose on others is not only fairer but also leads to greater economic efficiency. "Companies which are forced to pay the huge costs their products now impose on others then have a great incentive to reduce those costs, and the ability to spread them out among those who use the products, rather than leaving them on the heads of those who are injured by the products," suggests Banzhaf. The fact that each of these products has a use and serve a public need is not a defense, says Banzhaf, in part because these suits do not seek for force the companies to stop producing the product. Rather, the purpose of the suits is simply to make those who use the products and profit from making them liable for the huge costs which are now being imposed on taxpayers, says Banzhaf.

    "This Could be 8th Successful Fat Law Suit" Says Father of Obesity Litigation

    A judge has again upheld the federal class action law suit charging McDonald's with contributing to the obesity of minors -- a move which potentially opens up the fast food giant to demands for secret memos and other documents of the type which proved to be so damaging to the tobacco industry in its litigation.

    "This could be the 8th successful fat law suit, and the one which truly makes 'fat the next tobacco' as Fortune magazine and others have predicted," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

    Banzhaf has been called "The Man Who is Taking Fat to Court," "a Major Crusader Against Big Tobacco and Now Among Those Targeting the Food Industry," and was recently profiled on NBC's Dateline program about "Who's To Blame for the U.S. Obesity Epidemic?" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14415766/

    Banzhaf notes that no fewer than seven fat law suits have already been successful, food companies have paid out about $30 million to settle them, virtually all media reports credit fat law suits as a major factor in forcing the food industry to make significant changes aimed at reducing obesity, and a very recent fat law suit forced major bottlers to virtually ban the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools.

    The just-upheld class action law suit against McDonald's -- which inspired a major movie -- has been upheld by four out of four judges, including a unanimous opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and was a major factor in pressuring McDonald's to ban supersizing, to reformulate its Chicken McNuggets (which the judge had termed a "McFrankenstein creation"), more widely report the fat and calories in its meals, and make other important changes.

    Allowing the law suit to go forward potentially opens the door to pre-trial discovery under which the plaintiffs' attorney may demand copies of previously-secret memos and other documents, records of surveys and focus-group sessions, and other items which might show that McDonald's was fully aware of the deceptions which the complaint alleges, and which the judges have discussed in their opinions.

    "Secret and very damaging tobacco industry documents were a major factor in persuading juries to begin to rule in favor of smokers who sued over their injuries, even though the dangers of smoking were far more widely known than those of eating fast food, and the plaintiffs were adults.  Here the plaintiffs are only children, who are far more sympathetic litigants, and who clearly are less capable of understanding and appreciating these dangers, says Banzhaf.

    Even several years ago a survey showed that jurors in a fat law suit against a fast food company were almost as likely to award damages as jurors in a smoker law suit against a cigarette manufacturers; a remarkable fact, says Banzhaf, since so far we have no damaging obesity documents, the dangers of smoking are much more widely known, and no jury has yet ruled in favor of an obesity plaintiff.

    Similarly, notes Banzhaf, ABC's informal poll/survey shows that almost half those responding think that obesity is a matter of corporate or shared responsibility, rather than simply a matter of personal responsibility.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14415766/

    Many media outlets have been erroneously reporting that the obesity law suit against McDonald's had been dismissed, and that fat law suits in general were not doing well.  But this decision again upholding the McDonald's litigation, the several previous fat law suits which were successful, the recent decision by soft drink companies under pressure from a law suit to retreat from sales in schools, and the many changes fast food -- and other food companies like Kraft -- have made and are making shows that law suits can be as successful against obesity as they were against smoking.

    Opinion Opens Door to Other Cigarette Suits - Puts Pressure on Industry

    Today's ruling that smokers who used so-called "light cigarettes" can sue collectively in a class action law suit seeking hundreds of billions of dollars can have major implications, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), who has been called "a driving force behind the lawsuits that have cost tobacco companies billions of dollars," and "the law professor who masterminded litigation against the tobacco industry."

    "If not overturned on appeal, this decision could open the door to additional multi-billion dollar class-action law suits against the cigarette companies on theories other than their deception regarding light cigarettes," says Banzhaf.  These could include deception and failure to disclose the addictive effects of nicotine, surreptitiously adding nicotine to cigarettes as a means of increasing their addictive nature, adding secret additives and other ingredients, etc.

    At the very least, says Banzhaf,  permitting the claims of tens of millions of smokers to be combined in one class action rather than brought in individual law suits makes it possible for far more people to seek justice, and provides a very strong incentive to defendants to seek some settlement.  "No company wants to take even a one-in-one-hundred chance of losing a $200 billion dollar law suit," argues Banzhaf, who suggests that this threat is much greater than individual suits.

    Banzhaf notes that, faced with law suits seeking hundreds of billions of dollars from the states, the tobacco industry settled the law suits -- rather than face trials -- in what is called the multi-state tobacco settlement.  Then, the companies were forced to agree to pay out almost $250 billion, and make other major concessions, including eliminating cigarette billboards and the use of cartoon figures to advertise cigarettes, rather than take their chances at trial.

    "Today the public is even more concerned and knowledgeable about the deceptive tactics of the tobacco industry, and about the $140 billion a year impact their product has on the American economy.  A federal judge has just issued a widely-reported indictment of the industry's continuing underhanded practices . Therefore the pressure to try to settle might be at least as great as it was when the states were suing."

"New York City has now joined Chicago, as well as the World Health Organization [WHO], in considering legislation which would phase out trans fats and hydrogenated oils in restaurants. The move follows successful trans fat litigation targeting McDonald's and Krafts, and a major currently pending law suit against KFC over its use of trans fat," says Banzhaf, suggesting that the law suits have helped call attention to the problem and galvanized public and legislative pressure. Law suits have often triggered new movements at times when there wasn't yet sufficient public support or legislative concern to produce changes, he says, citing the modern civil rights movement, the disability rights movement, and the nonsmokers' rights movement as examples where litigation led to legislation. Other movements where litigation has played a major role in prompting legislation include auto safety, environmental protection, and gay rights, Banzhaf adds. Companies like Pepsi, FreshDirect, Wendy's, and other major food companies have proven that it is possible to use cooking oils which contain no trans fatty acids. Even McDonald's has been able to do it in countries like Denmark after that country banned artificial trans fats in processed food. That suggests, says Banzhaf, that restaurants will be able to comply if anti-trans-fat legislation is passed in any major city -- a move likely to force restaurant chains to get rid of it nationally. Doctors and the government agree that trans fats are unhealthy in nearly any amount, and that they annually causes tens of thousands of deaths from heart disease. For this reason, the U.S. Government now requires food manufacturers to list the amount of trans fat on product labels -- an effort they admit is designed to pressure companies to get rid of this deadly ingredient. Restaurants, however, remain free of this requirement, so that people eating at either a major fast food chain or a fancy sit-down restaurant have no way of knowing how much trans fat they are exposing themselves to. The problem becomes even more serious when we realize that many consumers are likely to ingest most of their daily trans fat intake from fast food outlets, especially in offerings like the ubiquitous french fries. "Protecting the public from involuntary exposure to dangerous and toxic substances -- whether in the air, water, soil, in prescription or over-the-counter drugs, and elsewhere -- is a basic governmental duty which they should not ignore simply because some restaurants claim surprise over a public health risk which has now been known for many years. So long as restaurants and fast food chains refuse to clearly and conspicuously disclose to consumers just how much deadly trans fat are contained in their meals, the exposure to trans fats is involuntary even if consumers choose a certain restaurant offering," argues Banzhaf.

"Smoking and obesity annually cost the American economy $140 and $117 billion a year respectively, so forcing the minority of Americans who are smokers or are obese to bear their fair share of these costs would slash the medical costs for the great majority who live healthy lifestyles, even if the overall costs remained the same," says Banzhaf. Moreover, imposing those costs on smokers and the obese would provide them with such a strong and immediate incentive to change their behaviors that the move is likely to substantially reduce the overall costs of these unhealthy life styles to all Americans. Banzhaf has also suggested three proven techniques states can use as they restructure their Medicaid plans under a new federal statute giving them more flexibility, and designed to encourage patients to take personal responsibility for their own health. These are: 1. Provide, either as a standard benefit, or as an additional benefit for which patients must make health-related pledges and/or pay an additional fee, some smoking withdrawal assistance (probably including drugs) since smoking cessation results in the largest single reduction in health care and medical expenses, in both the short term as well as the long term. 2. Require that all patients receiving benefits, or at least those seeking additional benefits, pledge not to smoke around their children at home or in a motor vehicle. The savings in health care costs for everything from ear aches to asthma and respiratory infections is enormous. The pledge is also a very small imposition (already imposed in many homes; e.g. those containing foster children) for the state to require in return for providing extensive taxpayer-supported health care. 3. Consider requiring that patients who refuse to quit smoking bear at least a small portion of their totally-unnecessary taxpayer-supported health care costs by charging them more, adding an additional fee or a different co-payment, etc. – a move which will for the first time provide them with a very strong, direct, and immediate financial incentive to quit, and serve as a constant reminder and reinforcement of the health care and financial costs of continuing to smoke. All of these steps can be undertaken at virtually no cost to the states, and there is very strong evidence that each will help to reduce health insurance costs. "Since virtually all other measures aimed at curtailing the spiraling cost of health care have proven to be of limited effectiveness, perhaps its time to start requiring some personnel responsibility, and stop forcing those who lead healthy lifestyles to subsidize those who don't," says Banzhaf. A letter outlining the state Medicaid reform proposals is reprinted below: RE: How to Save Billions Through Simple Medicaid Changes as Now Permitted by Federal Law Dear Governor : As the Washington Post just noted [SEE ATTACHED], a growing number of states are planning to slash health costs by taking advantage of a new federal law which gives them the freedom, under Medicaid, to charge patients more, add fees, require co-payments, insist that insured take health pledges, and in general “create incentives for patients to take responsibility for their health.” Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), the nation’s oldest and largest antismoking organization, urges that, in taking advantage of the new flexibility provided by the Deficit Reduction Act [DRA], your state consider incorporating one of more of three proven techniques into its new Medicaid plan: 1. Provide, either as a standard benefit, or as an additional benefit for which patients must make health-related pledges and/or pay an additional fee, some smoking withdrawal assistance (probably including drugs) since smoking cessation results in the largest single reduction in health care and medical expenses, in both the short term as well as the long term. 2. Require that all patients receiving benefits, or at least those seeking additional benefits, pledge not to smoke around their children at home or in a motor vehicle. The savings in health care costs for everything from ear aches to asthma and respiratory infections is enormous. The pledge is also a very small imposition (already imposed in many homes; e.g. those containing foster children) for the state to require in return for providing extensive taxpayer-supported health care. 3. Consider requiring that patients who refuse to quit smoking bear at least a small portion of their totally-unnecessary taxpayer-supported health care costs by charging them more, adding an additional fee or a different co-payment, etc. – a move which will for the first time provide them with a very strong, direct, and immediate financial incentive to quit, and serve as a constant reminder and reinforcement of the health care and financial costs of continuing to smoke. All of these recommendations are based upon steps already taken by states and/or private employers or insurance companies, are consistent with – and supported by – the new federal law, and have been proven to provide huge cost savings in short-term as well as the long-term health/medical costs. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Smoking has long been known to be the largest single preventable cause of increased medical care costs. Smoking, according to the U.S. Surgeon General, costs the American economy about $140 BILLION a year, most of which is paid by taxpayers (both individuals and corporations) in the form of bloated health insurance premiums as well as much higher taxes because of the costs of Medicaid, Medicare, disability payments, Veterans’ and Indian benefits, and other welfare plans. However, some government officials have not been enthusiastic about plans to reduce smoking, apparently believing that most of the cost savings result only many years after cessation, and that smoking cessation programs tend to be ineffective and quite costly. But many studies have shown that the cost savings from smoking cessation occur almost immediately, not only from reduced heart attacks, but in a wide variety of ways including reducing birth defects, slashing premature and underweight births by pregnant women (including teens) who smoke, avoiding a wide variety of common (and collectively very expensive) medical problems among children, etc. While it is admittedly difficult to quit smoking, tens of millions of people have done so, which is why there are today more former smokers in the population than current smokers. Here’s why. Most smokers who quit did so on their own, once presented with a sufficient incentive – which suggests that many on Medicaid would also be able to quit if, as the Washington Post suggested, the state plans can “instill self-reliance in low-income people who had depended on government help.” Indeed, Medicaid beneficiaries from a low socio-economic status tend to be more in need of additional incentives and help in quitting smoking than the general population. They often are less likely to be fully aware of health risks because they read less; they tend to have more difficulty understanding health risks, especially those which seem largely statistical; and they can have problems personalizing such risks, believing, incorrectly (as teens may), that “it can’t happen to me.” If they aren’t employed in offices, the pressure to quit from workplace smoking restrictions may be minimal, and restrictions on smoking in airplanes and restaurants will provide little incentive for those too poor to fly or eat in sit-down restaurants often. Also, lower income people tend to be more tolerant of various unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles – including not only smoking but also obesity, alcohol abuse, use of illegal drugs, etc. – so that the social cues and pressures to quit smoking from friends, neighbors, relatives, and at gatherings like parties is attenuated if not absent. Fortunately, most of these problems can be counteracted by elements in Medicaid programs, even if the same elements would have little effect on higher income taxpayers. While offering a free or low cost smoking cessation program might have little impact on smokers who can easily afford such plans on their own, such offers can have a major impact on poorer smokers who might wish to quit but simply cannot afford plans which substantially increase their chance of success, and/or the drugs sometimes used with such plans, which likewise have been shown to boost the quit rate. Similarly, requiring highly-compensated workers and their families to pay higher rates for health insurance and/or a slightly increased co-payment might provide very little financial incentive to quit, whereas those same charges can have a major impact – and therefore create a very significant, direct, and immediate financial incentive – on poorer families where one or more patients smoke. 1. INCLUDE SMOKING CESSATION AS A FREE OR SMALL-ADDED-COST BENEFIT As previously noted, smoking cessation results in both very significant short-term as well as long-term savings in health care costs, and the FDA has determined that various smoking cessation products – especially when used in conjunction with smoking cessation programs – very substantially increase the chances that a cessation attempt will be successful. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that offering such programs to lower income smokers will have even higher success rates since success rates are largely calculated from higher income hard-core smokers who often had prior access (e.g., a car, ability to pay a modest fee, etc.) to other program but could not quit. Even if the state were to offer smoking cessation assistance to all patients as a basic benefit at no cost, it is clear, as studies confirm, that offering smoking cessation assistance is a very cost effective way to reduce health care costs. Indeed, the cost savings even in the short run substantially exceed the expenses of the program, especially when low cost programs such as those offered by religious, health, and other charitable organizations are utilized. However, there are other alternatives. If, as a condition of receiving smoking cessation assistance, patients were required to pledge not to smoke around their children, it seems clear that the medical cost savings from children less likely to suffer from a wide variety of health problems would more than cover the cost of the smoking cessation plans for the parents – all at no net cost to the patient, or to the state. Alternatively, charging all smokers even slightly more in premiums or though higher co-payments would also pay for the cessation assistance at no cost to the taxpayers. A final alternative would be to follow the lead of other states and include a bundle of additional services – including smoking cessation assistance – to those who pay a special additional premium. 2. REQUIRE A PLEDGE NOT TO SMOKE AROUND THEIR CHILDREN Requiring that all patients receiving benefits – or at least those seeking additional benefits – pledge not to smoke around their children at home or in a motor vehicle would result in enormous savings in health care costs, represent only a very small imposition for the state to require in return for providing extensive taxpayer-supported health care, and be consistent with steps already being taken by other states which are beginning to require health-related pledges (agreements). Even though the cost savings from ending smoking in homes and cars when children are present is, as previously documented enormous, some may suggest that it represents too great an imposition on smoking parents, and one which is not imposed on those with higher incomes. But almost a dozen states already prohibit (or are in the process of prohibiting) smoking in homes and cars when foster children are present – presumably finding that the imposition is modest for those receiving government assistance. Similarly, judges in many states have issued orders prohibiting smoking in homes with children involved in custody disputes from smoking in homes and cars, and at least two states have banned smoking in all motor vehicles whenever children are present. States are beginning to experiment with the concept of health pledges. For example, West Virginia already requires patients to sign a “member agreement” promising to take certain steps. It seems clear that a pledge not to smoke at home or in a car when children are present will result in a far greater saving in health care costs than pledges such as: “I will do my best to stay healthy” or “I will read the booklets and papers my medical home [physician, clinic or health plan] gives me.” Many of West Virginia’s health pledges are too vague and also virtually unenforceable, but a no-smoking pledge is clear and specific enough that substantial compliance is likely even if no enforcement efforts are made, and even higher if reasonable compliance mechanisms are adopted over time. Therefore, a pledge not to smoke around children should be included in any other system of health-related pledges which are required of some or all Medicaid recipients, since they are much more likely to be effective and enforceable (to the extent desired), and result in much greater cost saving that virtually any other pledges. 3. REQUIRE SMOKERS TO BEAR THEIR FAIR SHARE OF HEALTH COSTS THROUGH A SMALL FEE, SLIGHTLY HIGHER CO-PAY, OR OTHER MEANS As the Washington Post notes, among the major purposes of the DRA are “creating incentives for patients to take responsibility for their health,” instilling “self reliance in low-income people who had depended on government help,” and making the “program more closely resemble private insurance.” The concept of differential health insurance rates meets all these goals. The Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services has expressly ruled that health insurance companies are free to charge smokers more than nonsmokers for the same insurance – and many such companies now do so – and the Center For Medicaid and State Operations appears ready to approve state Medicaid provisions and to include such permission in its regulations. Charging smokers somewhat more – either as a higher fee for all or for some services, a higher co-pay, etc. – is fair because they impose huge and totally unnecessary health care costs on the system which are now paid either by taxpayers or by the majority of Medicaid recipients who are nonsmokers. It also creates a very effective, direct, and immediately incentive for recipients to quit – something many now do not have if they do not appreciate the risks, don’t face pressures from workplace smoking restrictions, and experience little social disapproval among their peers. Finally, even a tiny bill each month, or a very small additional co-pay when visiting a doctor, is a powerful reminder and a potent educational message about the consequences of continuing to smoke. To those who might argue that it is unfair to impose this burden on lower-income citizens, it should be noted that many states are imposing very high taxes on cigarettes even though these taxes are regressive and have a far greater impact on poor smokers than on rich ones. It should also be noted that the major beneficiaries of the Medicaid plan will be the smokers for whom it finally creates the added and necessary incentive for them to quit, as well as their families.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Status: O X-UID: 1264 Content-Length: 2711 X-Keywords: Still Another Smoker Loses Child Custody Court May Consider Urine Testing for Nicotine Still another smoker -- this time in Ohio -- has lost custody of her child, even though she claimed that she only smoked outside her home. But the trial judge didn't believe her testimony, and the Court of Appeals has upheld revoking her custody of her six-year old son. Court in about two dozen different states have now considered smoking as a factor in a custody disputes. In most cases they simply order the smoking parents not to smoke around the child, but in some cases parents have actually lost custody, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), the national legal-action anti-smoking organization which started the trend of raising smoking as an issue in custody cases. In the Ohio case, Franklin County Juvenile Court Judge Dana Suzanne Preisse went so far as to say she might consider having children’s saliva tested for secondhand smoke if they have asthma or other respiratory problems and a parent’s smoking is making them ill. Banzhaf says the Ohio case is particularly important because smoking was the only factor which resulted in the denial of custody. The trial court had found "no major differences between the parties" except the smoking. The appeals court relied upon the proven dangers of children’s exposure to secondhand smoke, including a higher risk of developing pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma and ear infections. "With states and local jurisdictions increasingly banning smoking in public places including bars to protect adults, even though adults can leave the bar if they wish, it's long over due for the legal system to begin to protect the most vulnerable and defenseless victims of secondhand tobacco smoke -- children -- who cannot leave or complain.," says Banzhaf. ASH is moving in several other different areas to protect children from tobacco smoke. As a result of its campaign, close to a dozen states have now banned -- or are in the process of banning -- smoking in private homes or cars when foster children are present. Two states have now banned smoking in cars when children are in the vehicle. "These measures all protect children from the deadly dangers of tobacco smoke -- where the Surgeon General has recently warned that there is no safe lower level -- and also provide a very strong incentive for parents to quit smoking and perhaps save their own lives," says Banzhaf.

Food Suppliers Join Snack Attack: http://www.washtimes.com/business/20061006-101829-4158r.htm Seven fat lawsuits have already produced seven successful settlements leading to major changes aimed at obesity, said Banzhaf, noting that most media reports of such changes by fast food and other food companies have credited fat law suits as a major motivating force and catalyst. Seven Fat Law Suits Have Already Been Successful -- While Two Are Pending: http://banzhaf.net/suefat.html AND http://washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20061002-102009-1803r_page2.htm The most recent victory came when the nation's major bottlers, faced with class action law suits over "Coke For Kickbacks" deals they made with schools and school districts, agreed to drastically restrict both the type of beverages sold and the times when vending machines in schools would be operating. Snack food manufacturers, concerned about similar law suits aimed at their product, and about laws limiting the school sale of such products which are beginning to gain momentum, obviously are hoping to derail such measures by agreeing to a deal they can live with, says Banzhaf. Two successful fat law suits have also involved trans fat, a development which seems to be triggering moves in New York, Chicago, and other jurisdictions to ban the substance in restaurant foods. In a related development, legal pressures about the failure of fast food companies to provide clear and conspicuous nutritional information appears to be behind proposed legislation in 13 states and the District to put nutritional information, including trans fats, on restaurant menus. These two areas -- more voluntary bans on trans fat, and increased disclosure of fat and calorie information -- are two areas where the next so-called "voluntary" agreements related to obesity are likely to occur, predicts Banzhaf.

For many, it looked like a stalemate. Now, using a list he compiled in a successful attempt for stop schools from selling sugary soft drinks to school children, a public interest law professor with an MIT degree has sent an email to thousands of school board members proposing a simple technological solution -- school policies which permit students to carry only cell phones which limit their callers and recipients, at least during school hours, and impose restrictions on IM and text messaging, Internet surfing, etc. Citing a recent survey which showed that 99% of parents with children 12-17 years of age wanted their children to have cell phones to deal with emergencies, and with unsafe situations when going to and coming from school, and that 84% opposed total cell-phone bans at school and yet wanted to be in control of their children's cell phone use, Prof. John Banzhaf urged schools to adopt rules permitting students to carry only phones which narrowly restricted the phone numbers children could call or from which the children could be called, at least during school hours, and also proposed other more general restrictions on child cell phone use. He also suggested, at least during school hours, a ban on IM and text messaging, restrictions on accessing web sites which might be inappropriate or disruptive, a ban on ring tones only children can hear, and other measures. He hopes, by bringing this information to the attention of thousands of school board members, to encourage both individual school boards and organizations representing their interests to begin developing school cell phone policies which meet the concerns of both parents and teachers, and which incorporate and take advantage of the most advanced cell phone technology.

TO: School Board Members, Administrators, Attorneys, and Other Interested People FROM: Public Interest Law Professor John Banzhaf RE: Incorporating Innovative New Technology into School Cell Phone Policies As a nationally-known public interest lawyer (with a technical background), I recently wrote to you about the problem of obesity and soda sales in schools and, thanks in part to everyone’s cooperation, that problem was recently largely resolved with an agreement to impose strict limits on such sales. Now I take the liberty of writing to you again about another problem likely to become even more of a concern in light of very recent school shooting incidents – cell phones in schools – and to bring to your attention an important survey and some new technology which might be helpful in formulating school cell phone policies, either individually or collectively. The new technology allows parents to place a wide variety of limits on their children's cell phone use, using either special or ordinary cell phones. For the record, I have no financial or any other interest in this technology or in any company mentioned. SUMMARY: While school administrators are concerned about the distractions and potential misuse of cell phones at school, a recent survey shows that parents are adamantly opposed to any school cell phone prohibitions, and present strong arguments against total bans [SEE BELOW]. Fortunately, schools can take advantage of new technology to deal with these concerns while at the same time accommodating legitimate parental interests [SEE SUGGESTIONS BELOW] THE SURVEY: A recent cell-phone-use survey of 1,000 parents of children between the ages of 12 and 17 showed: Although * 66% are worried about children using them too often -- and talking [and/or text messaging] instead of studying * 39% are worried about male students using cell phones to cheat at school, with 31% having the same worry about female students and * 33% are concerned about children being exposed to inappropriate content over the Internet via cell phones * 41% are concerned about children being exposed to sexual predators via text messaging * 31% are concerned about exposure to mobile bullying or harassment via cell phones, at school as well as elsewhere Nevertheless: * 84% opposed school cell-phone bans * 95% of American parents want to be in control of their children’s cell phone use The parents' reasons include: * 99% want to be able to contact their children and have their children be able to contact them via cell phone in an emergency * 99% want their children to be able to contact them by cell phone if an unsafe situation arises on the way to or from school * 84% want cell phone contact between themselves and their children during school hours if there are changes in schedule * 71% say their children need cell phones at school because school administrators won’t allow them to use the office phone except in cases of illness or emergency Therefore: * 86% would like their schools or school boards to work with cell phone providers to give students school access to cell phones with predetermined limitations * 75% also agree that their cell phone providers should offer features that allow them to limit their children’s cell phone use at school * 78% think it is reasonable to give a child a cell phone at the age of 14 or younger * 59% would provide a cell phone to a child under the age of 12 if their cell phone provider offered easy-to-use parental control capabilities PART OF THE SOLUTION: Consistent with these views, and as noted in articles which reported on this survey [SEE LINKS BELOW], it is now possible for parents to use new technological services to easily and reliably control virtually all aspects of students' cell phone usage. Thus school boards can meet their own concerns, as well as those of most parents, about cell phone use during school -- e.g., using them too often or inappropriately; using them to facilitate cheating, etc. -- by drafting school cell phone policies which permit bringing to school only cell phones where parents have affirmed that they have programmed the cell phone or cell phone service to do things like the following: * imposed strict limits on calls made TO children’s cell phones, at least during school hours, based upon who is CALLING (e.g., only parents/guardians, or a strictly limited number of others), the length of the calls, and perhaps other criteria * imposed strict limits on calls FROM children's cell phones, at least during school hours, based upon who is CALLED (e.g., only parents/guardians, or strictly limited number of others like doctors, emergency services, etc.), the length of the calls, and perhaps other criteria * no text messaging or IM use, at least during school hours * EITHER requiring that cell phones be set to vibrate rather than ring to avoid disturbing others, OR that they be set to ring rather than vibrate (and prohibit ring tones which are not readily audible to adults) so that adults can be aware of cell phone calls made to students during school hours. MOREOVER, school boards could go further, and help protect children both at school and elsewhere from being exposed to inappropriate Internet content over cell phones, calls or IM messaging from sexual predators, persons seeking private information, etc., by either suggesting or requiring that: * cell phones brought to school be programmed so that Internet access would be limited to sites pre-programmed and approved by parents, or at least that access to certain clearly inappropriate Internet sites (perhaps from a list of such sites) would not be permitted * the receipt of calls from phone numbers not previously approved by parents would be impossible, etc. ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS: * It might be useful for school boards to seek input from various persons with expertise in technical matters as well as child welfare in formulating policies * It would probably be better if appropriate organizations formulated model policies for possible adoption by individual schools * Schools may wish to cooperate with others in their geographical area to work with or even pressure cell phone providers to incorporate controls * If possible, a school should designate an employee or even a parent-volunteer to assist parents who wish to use technology to control their child's use of cell phones, but (although the technology is designed to be simple to use) still lack the knowledge and skill to do so.

Since the WHO now reports that more people in the world are overweight than malnourished, and that the "scourge of obesity" "still constitutes a global epidemic" which "could one day cripple economies," it may be time to use the kind of hard-hitting legal action which has been so effective as a weapon against obesity in the U.S., says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who started the new movement with a class action law suit against McDonald's. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/10/19/061019154112.r1ls71oh.html AND http://banzhaf.net/obesitylinks.html The seven fat lawsuits that have already been successful have yielded about $30 million (much of which went to charity), and they have helped end supersizing at McDonald's, get deadly and fattening trans fat out of everything from Oreos to major fast-food offerings, forced schools to stop selling fattening "liquid candy," pressured fast food and other companies to offer less fattening menu items and more nutritional information, persuaded major soft drink bottlers to slash their in-school sales programs, etc., says Banzhaf, noting that these moves are likely to begin trimming the $117 billion annual cost of obesity to the US economy. The fat law suits are modeled after those against cigarette manufacturers which have brought in tens of billions of dollars (most of which have gone into state treasuries), forced smokers to begin paying more of their fair share of the $140 billion cost smoking imposes on all of us all annually, and helped (by raising the cost of cigarettes) to slash the percentage of adults who are smokers -- all moves that already are saving hundreds of millions of dollars in health care and related costs, not to mention lives, says Banzhaf Thus, suggests Banzhaf, now that the world community has recognized the value of -- and now formally recommends -- legal action worldwide in the world's first international antismoking treaty, perhaps it is time for other countries to begin entertaining law suits designed to curb obesity by requiring increased disclosure of the calorie and fat content of foods, by limiting the sale of fattening foods to children (at least in schools), raising the costs of fattening foods through fat taxes or legal action, etc. "At a time when one billion of the world's six billion population are already overweight, compared with 800 million who do not get enough to eat, it's time to begin taking real action against the true global epidemic, rather than simply hoping that changes in individual 'personal responsibility' will suddenly reverse the trend," says Banzhaf. He argues that while legislative solutions would probably be more effective, legislators are reluctant to take the hard-hitting action which is necessary, just as they were about smoking. Thus, he says, he and other litigators will continue to litigate until legislators begin to legislate. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

    Neighbors Can Sue if Smoke Drifts or Recirculates to Other Apartments

    "A man's home may be his castle, but that doesn't mean he has a right to use it to pollute his neighbors' air."

    A second city has now classified smoking within a private home as a legal "nuisance," in the same category as urinating outdoors, indecent exposure, or storing explosives -- a move which opens the door to law suits by neighbors, says the public interest law professor who helped inspire the laws.
    http://www.insidebayarea.com/sanmateocountytimes/localnews/ci_4535322

    At least two other cities are actively considering such laws, and the classification of smoking as a nuisance will eventually sweep California as the result of a recent legal ruling, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).  That ruling is a decision by California's Air Resources Board officially classifying secondhand tobacco smoke -- even outdoors -- as a "toxic air contaminant."

    In another recent legal ruling, a California court held that a person who urinated at night in a deserted private parking lot committed a crime because the act constituted a "nuisance," since it created a health hazard and was offensive to the public.  Banzhaf has argued that secondhand tobacco smoke poses a far greater health hazard than a small puddle of urine, and is probably regarded as offensive by an even larger percentage of people.
    http://no-smoking.org/march06/03-21-06-2.html

    Indeed, says Banzhaf, the U.S. Surgeon General recently reported that there is no safe lower level of exposure to tobacco smoke, and that it is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after active smoking and obesity.

    Banzhaf says that ASH has helped nonsmokers in dozens of states to bring law suits when smoke from a neighbor's apartment drifts or is recirculated into the nonsmoker's home.  "If a neighbor for his own pleasure was releasing asbestos or benzene into the air of his own apartment and its drifted into his neighbor's, no judge was hesitate in enjoining the activity since both substances have been classified as "known human carcinogens."  But secondhand tobacco smoke has been given the same designation by the U.S. government, and it kills far more nonsmokers each year than asbestos, benzene, and all other carcinogens combined."

    Every court which has addressed the issue has ruled that there is no right to smoke, even in one's home or outdoors, and in the great majority of states courts and/or agencies have issued orders prohibiting smoking in private homes, says Banzhaf.  "A man's home may be his castle, but that doesn't mean he has a right to use it to pollute his neighbors' air."

Banzhaf first popularized the concept of "differential health insurance rates," obtained governmental approval for them, and recently wrote to state governors urging their use in Medicaid reform. Under the plan, the obese pay about a 10% increased premium, smokers generally pay an even higher percentage, and those who are obese and smoke can pay almost 30% more for their insurance. But even under this plan, argues Banzhaf, the obese pay only a very small portion of what their weight adds on the average to their health insurance costs, and smokers pay even less of the $140 billion their habit costs the American economy each year. "People who chose to drive dangerously pay far higher auto insurance rates, those who do not properly protect their homes with smoke detectors and other devices pay more for home insurance, and life insurance companies have long charged people higher premiums if they were smokers. While a growing number of health insurance companies are now charging smokers higher premiums, and a few state governments have started charging employees who smoke more for health coverage, this may be the first situation in which the concept is applied to Medicaid," suggests Banzhaf. "Unless smokers are required to pay more for health insurance, nonsmokers are forced to pay most of the huge health costs smokers impose on insurance plans," says Banzhaf, who is also Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health. (ASH). "Forcing smokers to pay more of their share of the health costs of smoking is not only fair to the great majority of citizens who do not smoke -- it also provides smokers, many for the first time, with a clear, direct, and immediate incentive to give up tobacco, and serves also as a constant educational reminder." So far, the additional premiums are probably too small to cause anyone to forego health insurance. However, while some argue that increasing the premium penalty beyond a certain point will cause some to do without insurance, Banzhaf notes that the correspondingly lower rates for nonsmokers will probably help enable many of them to obtain coverage which was financially out of bounds before.

While parents assure their young children that vampires are only imaginary, they can also use the occasion to warn kids about the real monsters who really try to enslave them, and do cause long and lingering deaths. These monsters are, of course, tobacco company executives, who begin enslaving children as young as 7 or 8 to nicotine, a drug we adults now know is as addictive as cocaine or heroin for many people. While even Count Dracula, the most fearsome of all vampires, could enslave only a few dozen people at a time, tobacco companies enslave thousands of young children every single day. Of these, about half will die as a result of their addiction to nicotine, and many more will endure long suffering while connected to artificial respirators, life support machines, and other devices. Books and movies rarely depicted vampires targeting children, presumably because it would be too gruesome or too monstrous to show. But we know – from their own previously-secret documents about cigarette manufacturers planning to capitalize on handicapped third-graders, develop cigarettes specially geared to the youth market, and deliberately locate cigarettes near candy displays in stores – that tobacco companies have no such compunctions. Ironically, says Professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), these monsters continue to engage in a wide variety of activities designed to lure children as well as adults into becoming enslaved on a magnitude that Court Dracula could not possible begin to imagine. Unfortunately, the tactics seem to be working, because, after a long decline, cigarette consumption by children seems to be on the rise. PROFESSOR JOHN F. BANZHAF III Executive Director and Chief Counsel Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) 2013 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20006, USA (202) 659-4310 // http://ash.org So, suggests ASH, parents should take the opportunity and interest afforded by Halloween to explain to young children that vampires and other monsters do not exist, but that there are real monsters who will try to enslave them as they grow older.

On average, only a handful of children are killed in auto accidents every Halloween in the United States. Although this reportedly is higher than any other night, the number still pales in comparison to the death toll from tobacco smoke. According to the Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine, secondhand tobacco smoke kills more than one thousand children every year from diseases including respiratory syncytial bronchiolitis, asthmatic attacks, and other respiratory complications. This doesn't even include the larger number of deaths each year from SIDS apparently triggered by tobacco smoke. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that each year, even at the levels found in a home where only one parent smokes, smoke causes in infants: 150,000-300,000 lower respiratory infections like pneumonia and bronchitis; 7,500-15,000 hospitalizations; 200,000-1,000,000 asthma attacks; 8,000-26,000 new cases of asthma, and – as noted – a large increase in deaths from SIDS. Thus, suggests Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), adults should warn their children this Halloween, and also on other days, against visiting, going to parties, or playing in homes where adults smoke, especially in their presence. They should also stay away from a parent, grandparent or other adult while they are smoking, and avoid being seated in the smoking sections of restaurants – and in cars when adults are smoking – where exposure is far higher. The National Confectioners Association claims that the idea that Halloween candy may be tainted with razor blades or poison is largely an urban myth. So perhaps parents, grandparents, and other adults should give more attention to warning kids about more clearly established dangers. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

"This move will make its foods far healthier, and also probably lower overall in fat and calories," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who started the fat law suit movement. The move by KFC comes just months after the Center for Science in the Public Interest sued the company for having deadly trans fats in many of its foods, and for failing to warn consumers. Today's decision also comes on the heels of a capitulation by the nation's major bottlers in agreeing to virtually eliminate the sale of sugary soft drinks to students in schools after they were sued by a coalition of public interest anti-obesity attorneys. McDonald's is probably next, says law professor John Banzhaf, who both popularized the movement and helped initiate the first successful fat law suit against McDonald's. "If KFC, which deep-fries almost everything it serves, can remove trans fats, so can McDonald's." Indeed, McDonald's was already forced to pay $8 million in a settlement in another fat law suit for breaching its earlier commitment to remove trans fat from its offerings. The earlier fat law suits which have been successful have cost the industry about $30 million (much of which went to charity), and have helped to end supersizing at McDonald's, get deadly and fattening trans fat out of everything from Oreos to major fast food offerings, force schools to stop selling fattening "liquid candy," pressured fast food and other companies to offer less-fattening menu items and more nutritional information, etc. Since obesity costs the American economy over $115 billion annually, these moves are likely to save us all billions -- at a relatively small temporary cost to big business. Similarly the law suits against cigarette manufacturers -- which Banzhaf also helped initiate and promote -- have brought in tens of billions of dollars (most of which have gone into state treasuries), forced smokers to begin paying more of their fair share of $140 billion smoking costs us all annually, and helped (by raising the cost of cigarettes) slash the percentage of adults who are smokers -- all moves which are already saving hundreds of millions of dollars in health care and other costs.

"The FTC's investigation, along with another report by a task force created by the Federal Communications Commission [FCC] and Senator Sam Brownback, are likely to provide evidence which could be used in class action law suits against major food manufacturers and fast food companies, as well as provide the basis for formal legal complaints to the FTC, FCC, FDA, and other regulatory agencies," says Professor John Banzhaf of the George Washington University Law School. This could help fat become the next tobacco, argues Banzhaf, noting that many observers are comparing the concern about food marketing practices and obesity to the many different law suits against the cigarette companies which led to multi-billion dollar payouts as well as an end to cigarette billboards and Joe Camel. Indeed, says Banzhaf, much the same concern which focused public attention on the use of images like Joe Camel to promote smoking is now turning towards marketing strategies that feature SpongeBob SquarePants and many other cartoon characters to promote sugar-laden cereals and other fattening products to children, or the use of games on PlayStation and many kid-friendly web sites to encourage unhealthy eating practices. "Using Ronald McDonald as a 'health ambassador' in schools to teach kids that increasing exercise rather than reducing calories is the way to stay healthy is like sending Joe Camel to tell kids that they can smoke safely if only they inhale less deeply," says Banzhaf, who calculated that kids eating typical McDonald's meals would have to spend most of their waking hours to burn up the calories in typical McDonald's meals. Documentation obtained by the FTC, FCC, or other agencies would go a long way towards bringing them to justice, and providing a sufficient incentive for them to market their products more responsibly, especially to children, suggests Banzhaf. Banzhaf notes that it was the memos and other previously-secret documents obtained under subpoena from the tobacco industry which helped turn the tide and begin to persuade juries to rule against cigarette companies. Here these subpoenaed documents may have an even greater impact, since food manufacturers and fast food companies -- unlike the tobacco industry -- have a good public reputation which could easily be tarnished by embarrassing disclosures, even if the information does not provide evidence for more class actions law suits like the recent ones against soda bottlers and KFC which proved so successful.

For a draft of the new European Charter on Counteracting Obesity, see: http://banzhaf.net/docs/EUObesityCharter "The eight fat law suits which have already been successful show that legal actions -- litigation, regulation, and legislation -- can be very effective tools in the war against pediatric obesity, despite cries from opponents that personal and parental responsibility are the only answer," says law professor John Banzhaf. Usually, as with smoking, it is more effective and cost efficient to use legal action to change unhealthy behaviors than to rely on slowing changing attitudes, he says. Successfully pressuring fast food companies to provide more nutritional information to customers, soda bottlers to virtually curtail the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools, major food manufacturers to cut the amount of fat and sugar in snacks sold in the nation's schools, companies to reformulate their products to reduce unhealthy fats and the total amount of fat in their products, are only a few examples showing how fat law suits have been effective, says Banzhaf. "Effective legislation and regulatory action is probably more effective than litigation in achieving public health goals, but litigation often has to come first: pressuring companies to take initial steps; generating public concern, expectation, and pressure for governmental action; and serving as a catalyst for legislation as it did in the antismoking and nonsmokers' rights movements," said Banzhaf, who also initiated the use of legal action against the problem of tobacco. Norway and Sweden have already used legislation to prohibit the advertising of foods to children, but that approach may not work in the U.S. because of First Amendment concerns, notes Banzhaf. However, states could mandate the uniform disclosure of foods' fat and calorie content on fast food menu boards, crack down on unfair and deceptive advertising practices (as the FTC is preparing to do with the issuance of subpoenas), adopt higher taxes of fattening foods (or at least no longer exempt them from sales taxes), limit promotional activities aimed at children, and take other measures, suggests Banzhaf. "In turn, European countries might try some of the approaches which have been effective in the U.S., and not rely so heavily upon advertising restrictions." PROFESSOR JOHN F.

A total of 27 states (including D.C. and Puerto Rico) ban smoking in virtually all workplaces including restaurants, and in 18 states the ban also extends to bars. Two states prohibit smoking in cars when children are present. More than 800 jurisdictions already ban smoking in some outdoor areas, and California may well have to ban outdoor smoking almost everywhere as the result of a recent ruling. Internationally, 14 countries have become virtually smokefree by similarly banning smoking in most places where it can affect the public, and a new international antismoking treaty is pressuring many more to soon follow suit. A growing number of companies and governmental bodies are refusing to hire people who smoke even off the job, and those that do are increasingly charging them more for health insurance, a practice the federal government has also approved for companies which issue health insurance policies. One state has already modified its Medicaid program to charge smokers more than nonsmokers, and other states are considering similar modifications. "We are finally on the verge of becoming a truly smokefree society," says the public interest law professor who started the nonsmokers' rights movement by getting separate no-smoking sections on airplanes in 1973. He explains that a "smokefree society" not a society where no one smokes, but rather a society where smoking is confined to consenting adults in private. Court after court, and legislature after legislature, are ruling that there is no legal or moral right to smoke, even in one's own home, and that governments have no more need to accommodate smokers or to guarantee them a place to smoke than they must accommodate people who want to use other legal products like spitting tobacco, trail motorcycles, racing cars, dangerous fireworks, or erotic devices. Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), which Banzhaf heads, helped persuade Calabasas, CA, to ban smoking in virtually all outdoor areas except for a small number of "smokers' outposts." Shortly after receiving a legal letter from ASH arguing that tobacco smoke constituted a "public nuisance," the City Council of Belmont, CA, voted unanimously to draft an ordinance which would go further and ban smoking in all multi-dwelling apartment units.

I will need this quickly, since I will be seeing the physician who will perform any necessary surgery very shortly. BACKGROUND: Several years ago when I experienced pain in my RIGHT knee, I was treated by Dr. Ben Shaffer [http://www.dcsportsmedicine.com/who/bs.asp] of DC Sports Medicine [http://www.dcsportsmedicine.com/] who had also previously treated my son. Based upon an MRI, he performed arthroscopic surgery on my right knee, and I made a quick and successful recovery. Since Dr. Shaffer is NOT part of CIGNA, I had a very difficult time insuring at that time that CIGNA would cover the necessary MRI. I am now experiencing the same kind of pain in my left knee, something Dr. Shaffer warned was likely because they were both subject to the same long-term stresses, and neither knee experienced any significant trauma. To avoid the problems with CIGNA, I am asking that you write the Referral/Order/Prescription for the MRI. I will then bring the completed MRI to Dr. Shaffer early in December. If the results are as we both expect, I will be operated on shortly thereafter. Please call me if there are questions or problems, and please be so kind as to acknowledge receipt so I know that you have received this email and working on the matter. If you need any general information, you may wish to contact Dr. Shaffer's assistant ashley at ashley@dcsportsmedicine.com or Dr. Shaffer at shaffer@dcsportsmedicine.com. Both can also be reached at (202) 833-1147 (M,W,F) or (301) 657-1996 (Tu,Th) Thanks so much for your cooperation.

"No broadcaster would use the N-word, even when referring to a group like NWA where African Americans freely chose it to describe themselves, but every day broadcasters unnecessarily use the R-word even though the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the trademark 'Redskins' after unanimously finding that the word is derogatory and constitutes 'racial disparagement' against American Indians. [case now on appeal on a legal technicality]. Independently, the Utah State Tax Commission found that the the term Redskin is "derogatory" and "expresses contempt or ridicule for a race or ethnic heritage," and canceled several "Redskin" license plates, as did the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Similar determinations have also been made by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and by the Governing Council of the American Counseling Association. These decisions are reported on http://banzhaf.net/noredskins/ "The decision of the Trademark Office, two major states, two major organization, as well as editorials in major newspapers, makes it clear that the R-word is as offensive to American Indians as the N-word is to African Americans," says Banzhaf, who has asked broadcasters not to use it unnecessarily, and has suggested a challenge to the broadcast license of those stations which do. To avoid paying the professional football team to use their name, Channel 9 in Washington has retitled "Redskins Final" to "Football Final" and "Redskin Blitz" to "Football Blitz." If they can do that, asks Banzhaf, why can't they announce — for example — that "Washington beat Denver 28-3" rather than "the Redskins Scalped the Broncos 28-3," or that "Washington's starting quarterback will be XYZ" rather than "the Redskin's quarterback will be . ."? "There appears to be no more disparaging word referring to Native American Indians — i.e., comparable to 'nigger,' 'kike,' 'jap,' 'chink,' etc. for other groups — than 'redskin,'" says Banzhaf, citing a recent editorial which also likened "redskin" to "nigger" and "kike." So broadcast stations and their commentators who lambasted Michael Richards for his use of the word while under emotional distress are hypocrits and should look at their own continued use of an equally offensive word -- a decision which is presumably approved by top management after careful reflection, and with a clear eye on the bottom line, argues Banzhaf.

"This is just the latest step in a growing movement to protect the most vulnerable and most defenseless victims of tobacco smoke pollution," says public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH). For similar reasons judges in more than half our states -- and a few in foreign countries -- have recognized that smoking around a child can be not only dangerous but deadly, and have ruled that smoking around a child can be grounds for losing custody. Similarly, almost a dozen states have ruled -- or are in the process of issuing rules -- prohibiting smoking in the presence of foster children, and two states have banned smoking in cars when any children are present. "Smoking kills thousands of children every year (largely from respiratory infections), is a major factor in SIDS, and causes millions of medical problems in kids each year ranging from asthmatic attacks (and new cases of asthma) to ear aches, so protecting young children from tobacco smoke is long overdue," says Banzhaf. "A growing number of people consider smoking around children to be the most prevalent and dangerous form of child abuse, so it is not surprising that a adoption agency would want to protect their wards, to whom they owe both a legal (fiduciary) duty and a moral obligation." In this situation the husband claims that he does not smoke in the home, but there may be no way to independently confirm that, and to make sure that there are never any exceptions -- e.g., when the weather is very cold, when the husband is too ill to go outdoors, etc. So it may not be unreasonable for a social welfare agency to adopt a rule against permitting adoptions where one or both prospective parents smokes, and therefore is probably addicted to nicotine. For similar reasons, a welfare agency might not wish to place a child with someone with a history of addiction to alcohol or illegal drugs, even if he promises to change his behavior as a condition of becoming an adoptive parent. Otherwise the health and perhaps even the life of a child could be put at risk, especially since there is no way an agency could possibly monitor for -- much less prevent -- any smoking by a new parent who is already a smoker. The same problem would also apply to anyone with a history of alcohol or drug addiction. Moreover, if a violation occurred once the child had been placed for adoption, or if the husband simply decided to change his practice and to begin smoking within the family home once the adoption became final, it might be very difficult as well as expensive for the social welfare agency to then remove the child from the home. "If a natural father (or mother) of a child can lose custody by endangering the welfare of a child by smoking in his presence, it should not be surprising that smoking can be a barrier to an adoption; i.e., where there is no biological connection between the adults and the child, and no bond has yet been created," says Banzhaf. If, as the father claims, he is "desperate" to adopt a child, he should be willing to quit smoking, argues Banzhaf. Many people spend thousands of dollars to adopt, and may be required to make other significant changes in their lifestyles, notes Banzhaf. If the father continues to smoke, the child is also substantially more likely to become a smoker even if the father never smokes in his presence, and the child is also substantially more likely to lose his father prematurely.

Similar determinations have also been made by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and by the Governing Council of the American Counseling Association. "The decision of the Trademark Office, two major states, two prestigious organization, as well as editorials in major newspapers, makes it clear that the R-word is as offensive to American Indians as the N-word is to African Americans," says Banzhaf, who has asked broadcasters not to use it unnecessarily, and has suggested a challenge to the broadcast license of those stations which do. If only Richards had been interrupted by American Indian patrons, and cursed them as "Redskins," the media might be paying more attention to the harm this word can also cause those who feel denigrated by it, argues Banzhaf. To avoid paying the professional football team to use their name, Channel 9 in Washington retitled "Redskins Final" to "Football Final" and "Redskin Blitz" to "Football Blitz." If they can do that, asks Banzhaf, why can't they announce — for example — that "Washington beat Denver 28-3" rather than "the Redskins Scalped the Broncos 28-3," or that "Washington's starting quarterback will be XYZ" rather than "the Redskin's quarterback will be . ."? "There appears to be no more disparaging word referring to Native American Indians — i.e., comparable to 'n*gger,' 'k*ke,' 'j*p,' 'ch*nk,' etc. for other groups — than 'redskin,'" says Banzhaf, citing a recent editorial which also likened "redskin" to "nigger" and "kike." So broadcast stations and their commentators which lambasted Michael Richards for his use of the word "n*gger," and who may now criticize him for similarly using words like "k*ke" and "c*nt" while under emotional distress, are hypocrites and should look at their own continued use of an equally offensive word. If not, Congress or the FCC may make them think twice about using it, says Banzhaf. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

Indeed, the prohibition stands until he quits smoking for six months and provides medical documentation that he is no longer a smoker. "This is just the latest step in a growing movement to protect the most vulnerable and most defenseless victims of tobacco smoke pollution," says public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH). As a matter of fact, says Banzhaf, even years ago, when the dangers of smoking around children was far less well appreciated, ten percent of social workers specializing in adoption turned down potential parents because one or both smoked. For similar reasons judges in more than half our states -- and a few in foreign countries -- have recognized that smoking around a child can be not only dangerous but deadly, and have ruled that smoking around a child can be grounds for losing custody. Similarly, almost a dozen states have ruled -- or are in the process of issuing rules -- prohibiting smoking in the presence of foster children, and two states have banned smoking in cars when any children are present. "Smoking kills thousands of children every year (largely from respiratory infections), is a major factor in SIDS, and causes millions of medical problems in kids each year ranging from asthmatic attacks (and new cases of asthma) to ear aches, so protecting young children from tobacco smoke is long overdue," says Banzhaf. "A growing number of people consider smoking around children to be the most prevalent and dangerous form of child abuse, so it is not surprising that a adoption agency would want to protect their wards, to whom they owe both a legal (fiduciary) duty and a moral obligation." In this situation the husband claims that he does not smoke in the home, but there may be no way to for the authorities to independently confirm that, and to make sure that there are never any exceptions -- e.g., when the weather is very cold, when the husband is too ill to go outdoors, after he suffers a leg or back injury, etc. So it may not be unreasonable for a social welfare agency to adopt a rule prohibiting adoptions where one or both prospective parents smokes, and therefore is probably addicted to nicotine. For similar reasons, a welfare agency might not wish to take a chance and place a child with someone with a history of addiction to alcohol or illegal drugs, even if he promises not to use alcohol or other drugs in the home. Otherwise the health and perhaps even the life of a child could be put at risk, especially since there is no way an agency could possibly monitor for -- much less prevent -- any smoking in the home by a new parent who is already a smoker. The same problem would also obviously apply to anyone with a history of alcohol or drug addiction. Moreover, if a violation occurred once the child had been placed for adoption, or if the husband simply decided to change his practice and to begin smoking within the family home once the adoption became final, it might be very difficult as well as expensive for the social welfare agency to then remove the child from the home. "If a natural father (or mother) of a child can lose custody by endangering the welfare of his own child by smoking in his presence, it should not be surprising that smoking can also be a barrier to an adoption; i.e., where there is no biological connection between the adults and the child, and no bond has yet been created," says Banzhaf. If, as the father claims, he is "desperate" to adopt a child, he should be willing to quit smoking, argues Banzhaf. Many people spend thousands of dollars to adopt, and may be required to make other significant changes in their lifestyles, notes Banzhaf. If the father continues to smoke, the child is also substantially more likely to become a smoker himself even if the father never smokes in his presence, and the child is also substantially more likely to lose his father prematurely.

By weight, it is about 250 million times as toxic as cyanide, and gives off 5,000 times more alpha particles than equivalent amounts of radium, so a particle smaller than a dust mote could be fatal. Indeed, authorities suggest that cremating Litvinenko could be dangerous because it could disperse the polonium back into the air. The alpha particles emitted by even minute amounts of polonium 210 tear apart the genetic machinery of cells, sometimes killing them and sometimes causing them to mutate into cancer-causing forms. Polonium 210 is believed to be one of several dozen carcinogens in tobacco smoke which cause lung cancer in smokers, and perhaps also in nonsmokers. "This incident should serve as one more reminder to smokers, if they need one, that smoking is exceptionally dangerous. They are inhaling a wide variety of deadly substances including benzene, a known human carcinogen; ammonia, a powerful cleaner which causes eyes to water; hydrogen cyanide, which is used to execute condemned prisoners; hydrazine, another known human carcinogen; and formaldehyde, a strong chemical used to preserve bodies -- as well as Polonium-210," says professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of ASH.

This new finding, especially when combined with earlier studies showing that maternal smoking annually causes as many as 100,000 miscarriages and stillborns, tens of thousands of admissions to intensive-care units, and extensive brain damage, challenges those who proclaim a concern for -- and say they work on behalf of -- the rights of the unborn to at least speak out, much less take some meaningful action, argues Banzhaf. Legal authorities have not hesitated to take action against women who smoke crack while pregnant although, despite all of the publicity regarding "crack babies," maternal smoking of tobacco is far more dangerous to the fetus. Indeed, experts have shown that cocaine use, which is more limited and episodic than tobacco smoking for many pregnant women, probably produces far less damage to the fetus in terms of malformations, pre-term births and low birth weights, and that even levels of nicotine too low to cause underweight births nevertheless kills brain cells and retards brain development in children of mothers who smoke tobacco. "The youngest -- and most vulnerable and defenseless -- victims of tobacco smoke are those who haven't yet been born," says Banzhaf, who challenges groups which claim they support fetal rights to speak out and take action about maternal smoking. If those groups don't, it will simply lend weight to the arguments by others who insist that such groups are simply trying to impose their moral views on others, rather than acting out of sincere concern for the overall welfare of the fetus. Professor Banzhaf's statements come on the heels of a front-page article in USA Today showcasing ASH's success in having smoking banned in homes and cars where foster children and children involved in custody disputes are present.

While nonsmokers and even smokers inhale doses far smaller than that which very quickly killed Litvinenko, much lower doses which remain in the body year after year can also cause death from leukemia and other cancers because of the deadly effects of even minute amounts of radioactive substances, reminds ASH. By weight, Polonium-210 is about 250 million times as toxic as cyanide, and gives off 5,000 times more alpha particles than equivalent amounts of radium, so a particle smaller than a dust mote could be fatal. Indeed, authorities suggest that, because it could disperse the polonium back into the air, cremating Litvinenko could be dangerous – even though detectable levels of Polonium are often found in the bodies of ordinary smokers. The alpha particles emitted by even minute amounts of polonium tear apart the genetic machinery of cells, sometimes killing them outright and sometimes causing them to mutate into cancer-causing forms which can ultimately lead to leukemia and other deadly cancers. Indeed, Polonium-210 is one of several dozen carcinogens in tobacco smoke which cause lung cancer in both smokers and nonsmokers. Moreover, tobacco smoke also contains many co-carcinogens, so that smokers and even nonsmokers may become more susceptible to cancer-causing substances like polonium, no matter where or how it is inhaled. "This incident should serve as one more reminder to smokers, if they need one, that smoking is exceptionally dangerous.

Moreover, since nonsmokers inhale the same chemicals, and secondhand tobacco smoke has been estimated to kill more than 50,000 American nonsmokers each year, this is also a reminder to nonsmokers not to increase their changes of getting cancer -- or of suffering a fatal heart attack -- by inhaling tobacco smoke.

The report noted that eight fat law suits have already been successful, and that lawyers are "salivating" over using the addiction law-suit strategy. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/30/eveningnews/main2220356.shtml The program was inspired in part by the efforts of public interest law professor John Banzhaf. CBS noted that "Banzhaf is an architect of anti-tobacco lawsuits who has also sued the food industry. He's been involved in some of the eight suits [which] so far have resulted in settlements or industry changes." In addition to an interview, the program showed Prof. Banzhaf in his classroom teaching law students about these new litigation strategies. Banzhaf predicted that fat could be the next tobacco, and that addiction could be "the smoking gun" since studies showing the addictive properties of nicotine were one of the major breakthroughs which helped antismoking lawyers begin to win multi-million and even billion-dollar awards against tobacco companies. "Courts have ruled that even if the dangers of smoking were common knowledge, smokers could nevertheless sue because the tobacco companies didn't warn them about the addictive effects of nicotine, an entirely different danger. Similarly, even if customers are generally aware that fast food is unhealthy, they can still sue if the fast food companies failed to warn them about the separate and distinct danger that eating such food could cause addictive effects," argues Banzhaf. Like the tobacco industry before them, the food industry not only fails to warn -- it assures the public that fattening food cannot cause addictive effects. They do this despite the growing evidence -- some of which CBS showed -- that eating fattening foods can cause addictive-type changes in the brain, that animals can become so addicted to fattening foods that they have withdrawal symptoms when denied the foods, and that hormonal changes occur in the body which compel people to eat fattening foods, such as they are compelled to smoke or to consume alcohol. Although many major publications, several scientific journals, and even the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse have all reported on the addictive effects of fattening foods, and even though the food industry has scientists who participate in this research and report on it at scientific meetings, the food industry has not warned consumers even of the potential or possible danger. "Customers for a product have a right to know about any potential dangers suggested by responsible researchers and major publications and institutions, even before the dangers are conclusively established, so they can judge whether to accept the risk in light of the benefit. Parents who habitually take their children to fast food outlets might want to reconsider to avoid the risk, even before the risk is conclusively established. That's called 'freedom of choice," argues Banzhaf. PROFESSOR JOHN F.

The result, especially over a considerable period of time, can be leukemia and other cancers, especially when the cells are also exposed to a variety of co-carcinogens found in tobacco smoke, says Professor John Banzhaf of Action on Smoking and Health ASH). Polonium-210, the radioactive poison which killed former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, and which contaminated airplanes and other public places, is thus very deadly even in minute amounts -- indeed, it's about 250 million times as toxic as cyanide. "The Litvinenko incident should serve as one more reminder to smokers, if they need one, that smoking is exceptionally dangerous. They are inhaling a wide variety of deadly substances including benzene, a known human carcinogen; ammonia, a powerful cleaner which causes eyes to water; hydrogen cyanide, which is used to execute condemned prisoners; hydrazine, another known human carcinogen; and formaldehyde, a strong chemical used to preserve bodies -- as well as Polonium-210," says professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of ASH. Moreover, since nonsmokers inhale the same chemicals, and secondhand tobacco smoke has been estimated to kill more than 50,000 American nonsmokers each year, this is also a reminder to nonsmokers not to increase their changes of getting cancer -- or of suffering a fatal heart attack -- by inhaling tobacco smoke.

The key to the law suits is the existence of so-called Clinical Practice Guidelines put out by the U.S. Public Health Service, one of which mandates that physicians fully advise smokers of the health risks of smoking (as they are required to do with other health problems), and then to provide a course of treatment, including treatment for nicotine addiction. Courts frequently use such guidelines to determine what duties doctors have towards patients, and to impose liability for any breach of such duties. "Since almost half of all physicians apparently do not even advise their patients about the major health risks posed by smoking, much less lay out a course of treatment as they would with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medical problems, and because this failure to warn can lead to debilitating heart attacks, disabling strokes, and death itself, there should be little problem finding potential plaintiffs with sufficient damages to encourage private lawyers to take on the cases," says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has been called "the law professor who masterminded litigation against the tobacco industry." This new tactic appears in an article just published in a journal devoted to anti-smoking strategy, and was written jointly by a Professor of Medicine well known for his successes in the anti-smoking area, and by an activist attorney who shares his interest in the problem. Prof. Banzhaf thinks such law suits can be a very effective strategy for several reasons. First, the "white coat effect" -- where patients are far more likely to heed the health advise of physicians than warnings, public service announcements, or other educational programs -- is well documented. Second, doctors have a very high legal fiduciary duty to their patients, a legal principle which dramatically increases the chance of a successful law suit. Third, doctors, unlike tobacco companies and large companies, are very likely to shy away from law suits, regardless of their chances of actually being found liable. If the law suit charges deliberate neglect of the patient's rights and health, as mandated by federal medical guidelines, and as practiced by many major medical institutions, doctors -- and hospitals, medical institutions, and malpractice insurers -- are even more likely to treat smoking more effectively than in the past to avoid even the risk and adverse publicity of such a law suit. The concept of suing physicians for malpractice when they fail to adequately counsel and assist their patients to quit is not new. Banzhaf suggested it several years ago. Even earlier, the New York City Health Department warned that, because physician intervention can be so effective, failure to provide optimal counseling and treatment is failure to meet the standard of care -- and could be considered malpractice." But now, Banzhaf notes, guidelines for such law suits have been published in a major journal, there are official federal guidelines to back up the plaintiffs’ arguments, and Banzhaf’s group, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), says it is considering helping to organize and bring such legal actions. So, warns Banzhaf, physicians who are not yet part of the solution to the problem of smoking may well begin being treated as one of the causes, and held legally liable for their inaction.

    Trans Fat Ban and Acceptance Based Upon Tobacco Experience

    New York City's decision to ban trans fat is a further indication that fat is the next tobacco, and that techniques and experiences from the war on smoking can be useful in fighting against the second major unnecessary cause of death in the U.S., says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has been called "a major crusader against big tobacco and now among those targeting the food industry" and the "law professor who masterminded litigation against the tobacco industry."

    The parallels between tobacco and trans fat were noted in an Associated Press article on New York's decision: "the mayor, Briguet added, "is just as responsible for the health of someone eating the wrong food as for someone who kills himself smoking." Bloomberg banned smoking in New York‘s bars and restaurants during his first term. The public acceptance of that smoking ban, which at the time was a major source of worry to restaurant owners, shows why food chains should be embracing the current New York ban, says Tim Zagat, publisher of the hugely popular Zagat‘s restaurant guides."

    Everyone acknowledges that litigation has played a major role in the war against smoking, and the eight fat law suits which have so far been successful suggest that the same will be true for litigation aimed at the problem of obesity.  Moreover, as the country increasingly accepts the idea of governmental controls in restaurants to protect the public health, and in some cases (foie gras) even for other reasons, it becomes even more likely that fast food restaurants will soon be required to clearly and conspicuously display the fat and calorie content of their offerings, suggests Banzhaf.

    As CBS-TV also recently noted, new scientific evidence that fast foods can have an addictive effect on the brain similar to that of nicotine, alcohol, and heroin may one day require that they display an appropriate warning, as Banzhaf suggested in the piece.
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/30/eveningnews/main2220356.shtml?CMP=ILC-SearchStories

    "The wishes of restaurant owners must sometimes give way to the government's need to protect the public health," argues Banzhaf, and today's decision by New York City is a good example.  Eliminating trans fat will undoubtedly save lives, and may well reduce the overall calorie content of foods as it did when Oreo cookies -- in response to a law suit -- agreed to reformulate its classic cookie to eliminate trans fat.

The concern started with the publication of an article advocating malpractice law suits based upon Clinical Practice Guidelines put out by the U.S. Public Health Service, one of which mandates that physicians fully advise smokers of the health risks of smoking (as they are required to do with other health problems), and then to provide a course of treatment, including treatment for nicotine addiction. Courts frequently use such guidelines to determine what duties doctors have towards patients, and to impose liability for any breach of such duties, says Banzhaf. But Banzhaf's published analysis about how such law suits are likely to be effective and successful has provoked a hornet's nest of controversy, mostly for his candor in pointing out that many juries are likely to side with the critically-ill plaintiffs suing physicians who shrug their shoulders at the guidelines.

    Smoke-free, ban or not

    Most businesses in Greater Cincinnati are now smoke-free - despite a state announcement that businesses won't face immediate penalties for violating a new smoking ban, according to an informal Enquirer survey Friday.

    "There was some confusion last night," said Paul Stringer, general manager of The Pub in Rookwood Commons. "But we talked about it, and we've decided to be entirely smoke-free."

    Restaurants, building owners and bowling alleys said they were no longer allowing smoking, even though the state said it won't enforce the ban until detailed rules are developed.

    A sampling:

    "We plan to move ahead with the smoking ban," said Mark Esber, manager of the Buffalo Wild Wings in West Chester.

    "I came in this morning, and no-smoking signs were up everywhere," said Marge Tarplee, a part-time desk clerk at Del-Fair Bowling Lanes on Delhi Pike in Delhi Township.

    "We started enforcing it yesterday," Mohammad Kavyani, manager of the Frisch's Big Boy No. 1 on Central Parkway.

    Duke Realty, a major commercial property owner in the area, will enforce the ban at its Ohio properties.

    "We'll be abiding by local laws," marketing manager Kelly Allen said.

    Although the state isn't enforcing the ban right away, the ban is still law.

    "Despite rumors and some news reports to the contrary, the Ohio smoking ban is alive and well," Ohio Department of Health Director J. Nick Baird said.

    NO FINES NOW, BUT LETTERS WILL BE SENT

    The state won't fine businesses for not complying with the smoking ban until it has drawn up rules and regulations for enforcing it.

    Instead, when it receives a complaint about a violation, it will send informational letters to those businesses.

    "This implementation period is NOT a grace period," the Ohio Department of Health said. "The implementation period will give Ohio businesses the opportunity to better understand how to comply with the smoking ban."

    An estimated 280,000 Ohio businesses, as of Thursday, are required to prohibit smoking, remove ashtrays and other smoking receptacles and post no-smoking signs with the phone number for reporting violations, the state said.

This menu board shock -- which occurs because 90% of us underestimate the calorie content of unhealthy foods by more than 600 calories (almost 50% less than the actual calorie content) and overestimate the healthfulness of restaurant items -- is likely to have a dramatic effect since almost half of all Americans admit that nutritional information on food labels changed their purchasing habits, and, when calorie information was provided on food items, consumers chose high-calorie items 24%-37% less often. "They will no longer be able to turn a blind eye to their caloric gluttony," argues Banzhaf. Most consumers will probably be surprised to learn that one drink at Starbucks (at 770 calories) can contain far more than a third of their daily calorie quota , or that a typical meal at Burger King can easily have more calories (2,120) than they should safely consume in an entire day (2000, for adult males). They may be outraged to find that, although they probably paid far more to eat what they thought was healthier food, Panera's Smoked Ham and Swiss sandwich (630 calories), Fresh City's Chicken Teriyaki wrap (968), and Baja Fresh's grilled chicken salad (857) all are far more fattening than McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese (590), and many times more fattening than its plain hamburger (280). Indeed, visitors to McDonald's may learn for the first time that a McDonald's cheeseburger (330) has far fewer calories that its 9-piece chicken McNuggets (430) or its Filet-O-Fish (470), even though many people apparently incorrectly assume that chicken and fish at McDonald's are far healthier than beef. "Once the major fast food chains in New York start posting calories on their menu board -- in numbers as big as the price, or the name of the item, as the new regulations provide -- it's only a matter of time before they have to do it across the country," says Banzhaf, noting that customers will demand it, it will be inconvenient to have different menu boards in different jurisdictions, and that the chains will not want to face conflicting disclosure requirements in different cities. "Think what would happen if Chicago also demanded the posting of fat grams, Seattle insisted that fat and calorie information be displayed as a percentage of daily nutritional requirements, and San Francisco decided that all items containing more than 500 calories had to be posted in red as an additional warning. Sound business practice suggests that the chains would be better off devising a uniform disclosure code they can all live with, and then asking Congress to enact it into law." Although most media attention has been focused on New York City's decision to ban trans fat, the move -- although it is expected to substantially reduce heart attacks -- is not likely to have much impact on the epidemic of obesity. In contrast, says Banzhaf, the second rule requiring posting calorie content in large numbers on menu boards can help slash the number of unnecessary calories most New Yorkers unknowingly consume every day.

    Specifically, a record of the keywords typed into search bars, URLs typed into browser bars, the identifiers from every web page visited, and the information from the web pages is stored on the computer.  One of the reasons behind this specific type of storage is to allow for quicker loading of web pages. 

    In fact, a lot of people prefer not to clear their web tracks for this reason.

    Having the information stored on your computer’s hard drive allows web pages to load more quickly.  Additionally, it allows the computer user to take advantage of the information stored in the drop down menus of the address and search bars.  Why would anyone want to take longer to surf the net, when they could take less time?

    Since your personal information including e-mail addresses, passwords, and account numbers are stored in the auto-complete file, anyone who has access to your personal computer, also has access to those.  This means that anyone who borrows your computer, even if it is only for a few minutes, can have access to your stored passwords, as well as other personal information.  Additionally, this means that particular versions of spyware can also access your personal data.

    Clearing the web tracks from your machine erases your personal data and protects the security of your information.  Web tracks should be erased either with a web tracks eraser such as ParetoLogic Privacy Controls- or to a limited extent can be done manually. 

    Fortunately, basic web references can be removed manually.

    Simply follow the set of instructions that pertain to the Internet browser that you use.

    To remove Web history in Firefox:

    • Open Firefox.
    • Go to tools at the top.
    • Select the “privacy” tab.
    • Click the clear button next to history.
    • Click ok.

    To remove Web tracks and history in Internet Explorer:

    • Open Internet Explorer.
    • Go to tools at the top.
    • Select the general tab in the Internet Options dialog box.
    • Select “clear history.”
    • Click ok.

    To remove Web history in Mozilla

    • Open Mozilla.
    • Go to Edit and open menu.
    • Select preferences.
    • Select navigator listed under the category title.
    • Select “clear history” in the history listing.
    • Click ok.

    To remove Web history in Netscape:

    • Open Netscape.
    • Go to Edit and open menu.
    • Select preferences.
    • Select navigator listed under the category title.
    • Select “clear history” in the history listing.
    • Click ok.

    To remove Web history in Opera:

    • Open Opera.
    • Go to Edit and open menu.
    • Select preferences.
    • Select navigator listed under the category title.
    • Select “clear history” in the history listing.
    • Click ok.

    Manual removal is an excellent way to begin, but it does not accomplish complete removal.  In order to Completely remove and overwrite all deleted data you need an automatic deletion tool such as ParetoLogic Privacy Controls.

    NOTE: there are a number of ways for anyone with access to your computer, to check your internet history and images viewed in Internet Explorer, even after you use all possible manual removal methods. For example the index.dat file is always in use by Windows and therefore, cannot be cleared with manual removal. Also, there are a number of easy to find tools that will uncover recent history, reveal passwords and even restore and repair image files- to see what PC users have really been viewing online.

    Professional privacy management tools like ParetoLogic Privacy Controls will do a thorough job of removing the web tracks, beyond recovery by anyone who uses your computer and with no traces left for even forensic software to uncover.

    In my previous article on PC Inspector File Recovery, I showed how easy it is to recover or “unerase” supposedly deleted files. Extra measures must be taken to completely erase a file.

    Background
    A hard disk can be likened to a book. There is a table of contents at the beginning and the actual chapters in the body. The table of contents is like the file system index. This is where the list of files and the locations on the disk are stored. If the computer needs “asdf.txt,” it looks in the file system index for the location. Then it reads the data from the location.

    Deleting data on the disk is just like scratching out an entry in the table of contents. Though it does not show in the table of contents, the chapter still exists. Until the pages of the chapter are torn out, it will still be there. When deleting a file, all the computer does is scratch out the entry in the file system index. It is still on the hard drive somewhere but it is just harder to find. The data will stay there until the computer overwrites it when it needs the space. Because of this, it is fairly easy to “unerase” deleted files.

    Secure Delete
    How then does one actually delete a file so that it is no longer recoverable? A function like this is usually not built into operating systems. So, a third-party program is necessary. There are many programs out there that will securely delete the file. The best one that I have used is SuperShredder from AnalogX.

    SuperShredder is very minimalist. The file size is small. The installation is short and simple. The graphical user interface (GUI) is understandable. And the configuration is minimal (if even needed at all). This is the main Window for the program:

    Ways to Completely Erase a File
    It is really simple to delete a file. There are three ways to do this.

    The first way is to just drag a file or files onto the window.

    The second way is to press “Select File” on the main window and browse for the file(s).

    The easiest way to do this is to enable the SendTo shortcut. Go to “Config” and click “Create SendTo Shortcut.”

    This will allow you to delete via right-clicking the file. The only difference between the normal right-click delete is that the secure delete is located in the SendTo menu. This makes it possible to completely delete a file without even manually opening the program!

    It is important to take into consideration that this method for completely erasing data is intended for individual files. Keep watching for my next article on completely wiping hard drives or partitions!

      Just a note to mac users out there -
      This comes built into mac OS X, at least in tiger (10.4), and possibly earlier versions.
      Just put the files into the trash, and choose ‘Secure Empty Trash’ from the ‘Finder’ menu.
      If you are deleting an entire drive, there is an even more secure version of this available from the Disk Utility.

    2. Klaus Hagemeyer Says:

      what I have nout found yet is a program that erases *already deleted* files. If, for instance, confidential documents are scanned, the scan software usually generates temporary files on the system volume (containing the confidential information) and deletes them automatically after the final picture file of the scanned document is finished (typically on an encrypted and/or external volume). These deleted temporary files could be undeleted and read, as they are not overwritten. To my knowledge, the only secure method to erase these remains of confidential data is to “erase free disk space”, which some programs can do, but this is very time consuming. What one would need for this case is a program which first undeletes all files which have been deleted in, say, the last few hours, and then erases them. Does anybody know if such a program exists?

    Permanently Erase Deleted Files


    Erasing data from your hard drive - permanently

    By Stephen Elderkin
    Law Enforcement Technology Magazine
    Oct 2003


    There is no longer any doubt that your personal identity is now embedded in computer technology. The personal computer has become a mainstream household appliance in homes across the United States, almost as common as a microwave oven.

    Every computer sold today facilitates easy access to the world's new www backbone of information. Online banking, bill paying, shopping, health insurance, flight booking - just about every transaction is possible via the Web. Ease of use and cost efficiency are driving forces behind this trend.

    However, while the Internet has made life more convenient and efficient, the tools necessary to secure the wealth of personal information disseminated in online transactions lag behind.

    Security has become the hot topic for individuals, companies and government agencies. With a single Internet connection, virtually anyone in any place using a computer can gain access to confidential and proprietary information. Even deleted files are not safe. As a result, companies are making significant security investments to safeguard themselves from uninvited outside connections to their machines.

    According to International Data Corp. (IDC), corporate spending for IT security and business continuity solutions is projected to grow to $155 billion by 2006.

    But within all the hype and marketing storms on security issues lies one generally overlooked security hole: retired PC's, a back door into personal privacy. According to the National Association of Investigative Specialists, it is estimated that identity theft is affecting 500,000 new victims per year at an estimated annual cost of anywhere from $700 million to $3 billion.

    How Hard is it to Steal and Use Someone's Personal Identity?

    To illustrate, let us examine the simple scenario of John Doe. John works as an advertising director. He, like many of us, uses his personal computer to do online banking and keep track of his financial records.

    The day finally came when John decided to donate his computer to a local charity and buy the laptop he had been saving for. To verify his data was gone, John reformatted his drive to erase personal and previously deleted files. John then charitably donated his old computer.

    Two weeks later, John was at a lunch meeting with an important client when he learned that his credit card had been rejected. John promptly checked his account online and found that someone had purchased $3,000 worth of stereo equipment a week before.

    John's story is not unique. What John did not know is that a couple of cyber criminals had become quite adept at purchasing old computers from local charities and mining them for data. With little effort, they searched and recovered John's deleted files and Internet history from his old PC.

    John did password protect his financial file, but only to his demise. The perpetrators simply downloaded a password-breaking tool from the Internet and recovered the password John used to protect his data.

    Unbeknownst to John, his Internet banking URL, along with login ID, were stored in an Internet cookie located on his hard drive, john used the same password to permit access to both his financial records and online banking account. John's personal identity was compromised. John's deleted files, credit card data, billing data and transaction history were now unprotected.

    Armed with John's identity and purchase history, the criminals made an online purchase of $3,000 worth of stereo equipment from the same online store that John had purchased from a month ago. The equipment was delivered to a false address using next day shipping.

    With their crime completed, the offenders disappeared from John's life, leaving him to clean up a sticky situation, since the burden of proof of fraudulent behavior now rested on him.

    John had the responsibility of somehow proving that he did not make purchases a second time from the online electronics store. This presented quite a challenge because he had previously purchased similar equipment. John's integrity was called into question by the credit card company and a very long and costly settlement process began.

    Unfortunately, John is not alone. According to the FBI, identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. A study issued by the Federal trade Commission found that an identity theft is reported every 6 minutes.

    It is ironic how much energy, time and money are being invested into safeguarding private data on a daily basis, considering valuable data is simply discarded in the trash for anyone to pick up of mistakenly sold off with a computer. The doors and windows are locked, grounds monitored and patrolled, property locked down, but in a back alley sits an old computer containing a copy of the same supposedly protected data waiting to be picked up by the local trash department of anyone else walking by.

    Even more disturbing is the online auction having a fire sale on computers containing your valuable information. Why break into the office or house when profitable information can be found in the trash or purchased cheaply online?

    Hard Disk Sanitizing - Get Rid of your Deleted Files

    In order to effectively plug this security hole that affects anyone owning a PC, you must realize the misconceptions of partitioning and formatting disks to erase deleted files. The first step to protecting yourself is to know which security precautions work and which do not.

    Many people believe the misconception that repartitioning a disk will erase all deleted files stored on a hard drive. (Repartitioning is the process of changing the size and sequence of partitions on a disk to prepare the drive for formatting.) Repartitioning the drive only alters the partition tables stored on the disk. Further, deleting a partition only erases the few bytes of data that define the partition, leaving all file data on the hard drive intact.

    In fact, there are even programs available that can restore a disk's integrity after a partition has been erased. Contrary to popular belief, repartitioning a drive makes it extremely easy to recover an entire hard drive, including previously deleted files.

    Formatting a drive also does not permanently erase data. Formatting a drive has two purposes. First, it recreates the master file tables that keep track of where file contents are stored on the disk. And second, it verifies each sector is okay to read and write to.

    Even though performing a low-level format is time-consuming, it does not actually erase the contents of files organized by the master file tables. After a format, all contents of the deleted files can be resurrected from their deleted state with minimal effort.

    If repartitioning and formatting disks will not permanently purge deleted files from hard drives, what will?

    The only way to guarantee all data has been erased from a hard drive is to overwrite all sectors on the disk with artificial information, such as overwriting configurations with random patterns of ones and zeros. Although this sounds complex, there is an easy way to do this.

    Drives can be sanitized and made ready for sale, donation or disposal by using a disk sanitizing tool. The disk sanitizing tool talks directly to the drive and overwrites all contents on the disk, including the boot record, master file tables, deleted files and contents of all files. At the completion of this process, users can have confidence that all of their data has been erased, and the drive can then be safely sold, donated or disposed.

    There are a variety of easy-to-use hard disk sanitizers on the market today that can perform complete hard disk sanitization. There are even solutions that are compliant with the U.S. Department of Defense's disk sanitizing standards, one of the most rigorous data deletion standards.

    One such user-friendly solution approved by the U.S. Department of Defense is WipeDrive 3.0 from WhiteCanyon Software, Inc. in Orem, Utah.

    Erase your Deleted Files - Permanently

    If you are concerned about file security on a daily basis, you should understand that deleting a file or folder, emptying the recycle bin, and defragging your hard drive, do not erase the contents of deleted files.

    To demonstrate this point, try copying some larger files to a storage device like a diskette. You will see it takes a long time to copy. However, if you then select the copied files and delete them, you will see the operation happens instantly.

    So, what accounts for this discrepancy in time?

    The answer is straightforward: the operation system did not actually erase the contents of the deleted files as the user intended. Instead, it only erased the file's index in the Master File Table, leaving this information retrievable by anyone who has access to the disk.

    This occurs because when a file or folder is stored on a computer, its data is stored in two places. Indexing details such as the file name, size and creation date are stored in a Master File Table, while the contents of the file are stored on the free space area of the disk or the file clusters.

    So, in our example, when you copy a file to a diskette, the filename is first entered into the Master File Table and then clusters are set aside for storing the actual contents of the file. The process of copying the contents of a file to clusters is the time-intensive step of the file storage procedure.

    In contrast, file deletion appears to occur almost instantaneously, because, in actuality, only a few bytes are altered in the Master File Index. This is why deleted files can easily be undeleted.

    Deleted files will stay on a drive permanently unless overwritten by something else.

    When a file is deleted, the clusters or location on the disk are then marked in the Master File Table as being free. The total number of free clusters on a disk constitutes the free space of that disk.

    The contents of deleted files reside in the free space until they are replaced with new files. If unreplaced, deleted files remain intact.

    Besides the issue of deleted files, there is the added security risk that your private information is continually being stored without your knowledge in places that you never even knew existed. For example, both your operating system and the programs you use on a daily basis create temporary files that contain your data for purposes of protecting users from data loss resulting from improper shutdown of application. This phenomenon is called document migration.

    To observe how document migration occurs, first, turn on the ability to see hidden system files in Windows by going to your computer's file explorer and selecting file options.

    Next, create a Word document in an empty folder and browse the document folder while editing the document. You will find many additional files residing in the same folder as your newly created document. These hidden files contain all details of your document's information.

    When you close your document, the application simply deletes these files, and as discussed previously, deleted files can easily be undeleted. Now your Word document has spread its contents to other areas of the disk without your knowledge.

    What measure can users take to ensure their deleted files are permanently gone and prevent document migration?

    To protect data in deleted files, users should employ a file deletion management system. There are a number of file deletion programs available specifically designed to identify and permanently purge your computer of previously deleted files. These solutions can be downloaded from the Internet, purchased online or at retail outlets.

    One such solution, SecureClean 4.0, also available from WhiteCanyon Software, offers the first utility that actually scans a computer, identifying traces of previously deleted files and information and permanently erases discarded data including e-mail messages.

    Sanitizing data requires more than dragging files to a trash bin, reformatting or partitioning a computer. To assure the protection of deleted information, users should completely overwrite all contents in deleted files or on a hard drive using a data sanitization utility.

"McDonald's Opening McGyms at Some Restaurants": http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061206/LIFE/612060329/-1/LIFE He also argues that the McGyms and a related advertising campaign featuring Ronald McDonald as an "active lifestyles advocate" are an attempt to direct attention away from the major cause of the obesity, and is akin to using Joe Camel to teach children how to inhale less deeply to avoid lung cancer from smoking,. "Do You Want Fries With That . . Gold Medal?": http://www.bikebiz.co.uk/daily-news/article.php?id=5337 That in turn is just a refinement of an earlier program in which Ronald was dubbed a "Chief Happiness Officer," and is being sent into schools as a "Health Ambassador " to teach children that an active lifestyle, rather than cutting down on overeating and fattening foods, is the key to avoid being overweight. "McDonald's Makes Ronald a Health Ambassador": http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43011-2005Jan27.html?sub=AR But children who exercise every day -- whether at a McGym or elsewhere -- will not begin to burn off the calories they consume with a typical McDonald's meal, says public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, whose law students successfully sued McDonald's, noting that their meals intended for pre-teen children contain dangerous amounts of calories and fats. Indeed, as the London Times reported [11/30/03]: "In America, Mighty Kids Meals have 800 calories and more than half the amount of saturated fat that an adult should have in a day." McDonald's Mighty Kids Meals are aimed at children 7-8 years of age. To burn the 800 calories in such a meal, a typical 7-year old girl would have to: * walk for 9.3 hours OR * play volleyball for 8.1 hours OR * play baseball for 6.6 hours OR * swim or play paddleball for 5.4 hours OR * engage in aerobics for 5 hours Since children above 10 years of age are likely to regard a Mighty Kids meal as babyish, let's see what a 10-year old boy, eating a more typical McDonald's adult meal [Big Mac, large fries, McFlurry drink] would have to do to burn off the 1790 calories in such a meal -- which also contains 83 grams of fat, far more than even an adult male should safely consume in a single day. To burn off the calories, he would have to: * walk for 15 hours OR * play volleyball for 13 hours OR * play baseball for 10.5 hours OR * swim or play paddleball for 8.8 hours OR * engage in aerobics for 8 hours "While regular exercise obviously can play a role in maintaining a healthy weight for both children and adults, these figures make it abundantly clear that exercising cannot possibly compensate for eating fattening meals of the kind that McDonald's spends billions of dollars to promote. Telling kids that they can remain slim simply by engaging in regular exercise, and not passing up the Golden Arches -- much less going there so that kids can exercise while they eat -- is deceptive, and teachers and schools should not cooperate," says Banzhaf. It's also clear that, among adults, getting the recommended amount of exercise will -- by itself -- do little to reduce obesity if a person continues to eat typical fast food meals. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise burns at most a few hundred calories -- as anyone who uses modern treadmills or exercise bikes will note from the readout -- and will do little to counteract eating a typical McDonald's meal of more than 1000 calories. A dramatic example is the large number of NFL football players who are fat or even obese, even though they get more exercise than most people could possibly fit into their schedules. As USA Today had reported, the underlying and most important reason is fast food: "All three of these [obese] college players have a history of consuming large amounts of sodas, fast food and junk food, . . . It's easier and cheaper to grab three double cheeseburgers from McDonald's than to cook or to buy other more expensive fast-food sandwiches, he says. . . . It's hard to go out and order healthier foods while friends have cheeseburgers and fries, he says." "Players Muscle Out the Fat": http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2005-03-06-football-fat-usat_x.htm The calculations above are all based upon information from independent sources, and those who are curious can make their own calculations for children of different ages and different activities by going directly to these sources: Calories burned per hour from various activities: http://caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.html Average height and weight for children of different ages: http://www.babybag.com/articles/htwt_av.htm Calories in McDonald's and other fast food meals: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/flash/health/caloriecounter/counter.htm PROFESSOR JOHN F.

Indeed, when calorie information was provided on food items, consumers chose high-calorie items 24%-37% less often. "They will no longer be able to turn a blind eye to their caloric gluttony," argues Banzhaf. Most consumers will probably be surprised to learn that one drink at Starbucks (at 770 calories) can contain far more than a third of their daily calorie quota , or that a typical meal at Burger King can easily have more calories (2,120) than they should safely consume in an entire day (2000, for adult males). They may be outraged to find that, although they probably paid far more to eat what they thought was healthier food, Panera's Smoked Ham and Swiss sandwich (630 calories), Fresh City's Chicken Teriyaki wrap (968), and Baja Fresh's grilled chicken salad (857) all are far more fattening than McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese (590), and many times more fattening than its plain hamburger (280). Indeed, visitors to McDonald's may learn for the first time that a McDonald's cheeseburger (330) has far fewer calories that its 9-piece chicken McNuggets (430) or its Filet-O-Fish (470), even though many people apparently incorrectly assume that chicken and fish at McDonald's are far healthier than beef. "Once the major fast food chains in New York start posting calories on their menu board -- in numbers as big as the price, or the name of the item, as the new regulations provide -- it's only a matter of time before they have to do it across the country," says Banzhaf, noting that customers will demand it, it will be inconvenient to have different menu boards in different jurisdictions, and that the chains will not want to face conflicting disclosure requirements in different cities. Indeed, Chicago's proposed regulation would require disclosure of sodium and saturated fat content as well as calories, and others may well call for a disclosure of total fats, disclosure in percentages as well as grams, etc. "Sound business practice suggests that the chains would be better off devising a uniform disclosure code they can all live with, and then asking Congress to enact it into law." Although most media attention has been focused on New York City's decision to ban trans fat, the move -- although it is expected to substantially reduce heart attacks -- is not likely to have much impact on the epidemic of obesity. In contrast, says Banzhaf, New York City's second rule requiring posting calorie content in large numbers on menu boards, and a parallel requirement in Chicago, can help slash the number of unnecessary calories most people unknowingly consume.
