The smoke of cigarettes with menthol takes smokers prisoner

Scientists who indefatigably care of health and well-being of mankind, have found the next occasion never to touch tobacco products. After the recent sensational research which have found out that so-called "easy" cigarettes are not less harmful, rather than usual, American smokers already are indignant at deceivers-manufacturers and intend to demand from them indemnification in $200 млрд for the damage caused to health. There is no saying, what reaction will follow present opening, but it too directly mentions health of those who is afflicted with the specified bad habit.
In the USA where physicians constantly investigate something pernicious for nation health, have made long experiment. It has begun hardly more 20 years ago, in 1985. Then experts from the Californian university in San Francisco led by doctor Michael Pletcherom have invited to participation in the project of 1535 smoking men and women at the age from 18 till 30 years. All of them have passed inspection within the limits of the program according to risk of occurrence of a thrombosis of a coronary artery. The calcium maintenance in arteries, and also a condition of lungs was the main indicator. Besides, all participants of research have meticulously interrogated according to the special questionnaire.
And here it was found out that among the American smokers the overwhelming majority (63 %) wishes to combine inhalation of nicotine and mint aroma, that is prefer cigarettes with menthol. The reasons for how Michael Pletcher confirms, there can be a weight. It and specific taste of a smoke, and freshening effect. In addition menthol influences a human body in a special way: slows down a nicotine conclusion, because of what its concentration in blood at smoking higher, than at consumption of usual cigarettes.
Meanwhile, as authors of research consider, fans of a mint smoke subject themselves to serious risk. Having checked up group of examinees after five, seven, ten and fifteen years, scientists have come to a conclusion that among those who wished to get rid of a bad habit and has achieved in it of success, on 15 % there are more than smokers of usual cigarettes. Hence, has concluded Pletcher, with ментоловым tobacco to leave much more difficultly (twice more often given up smoking do not maintain and again begin) though on the fatal influence on health it differs nothing. And smoky defect is how much harmful to the weak and defenceless representative of a human race, it is known for a long time.
Among adherents of "freshening" cigarettes as shows the statistican, there are young women who do not work more often, have excess weight, do not abuse spirits and smoke far not packs. And the American researchers were especially amazed with that fact that the overwhelming majority “ментоломанов” is made by black inhabitants of the USA. There and then scientists were occurred by the sad data, testifying that representatives негроидной the races living in America, often suffer from the cardiovascular, oncological and other mortally dangerous diseases which reason smoking can be.
The scientific world has extremely frostily reacted to the results published by a command of Pletchera. The scientific adviser of the American pulmonary association the doctor Norman Edelman considers that the statistical data collected by its colleagues, weak and disputable, and the conclusions made on their basis, is too categorical so categorically to brand cigarettes with menthol and those who has conceived a liking for them.
And the domestic medicine, apparently, and at all sensational for itself in foreign research will not open anything. The expert of one of the Russian centres in struggle against smoking has told to the correspondent “Yтра” that "enthralling" properties of menthol for a science far not news: “When menthol gets on mucous a mouth, there is a reflex emission эндорфинов (pleasure hormones) which in a combination to nicotine causes fast accustoming. For a long time the known fact, and about it it is possible to read it in any medical directory”.

A side effect of smoking - a tasteless food

According to the Health of Ukraine, "a new experiment designed to determine the effect of smoking on the human body, showed that the use of nicotine decreases the sensitivity of taste receptors located in the mouth in humans. A study conducted by the Greek experts, lies in the electrical stimulation of the taste threshold. It was attended by 62 people, among whom there were 28 smokers and 34 non-smoking party. If you use electricity in humans there is a metallic taste in the mouth. The degree of sensitivity was determined by the number of current, which needed a man to get a taste sensation.

The study showed that fans tobacco taste sensitivity was worse than non-smokers. At the next stage of the study of the endoscopic method were carried out measurements of taste receptors, so-called mushroom papillae. It turned out that the adherents of habit receptors have a flattened shape and reduced blood supply, which causes a weakening of taste sensitivity.

According to Pavlidis Pavlos, lead author of the study from the University of Thessalonica. Aristotle, the study showed that taste sensitivity in smokers and non-smokers is significantly different, but nicotine can adversely affect the taste buds.

As previously reported, 12.06.2009, the U.S. Senate adopted a bill establishing additional restrictions on the companies that produce tobacco products in the field of advertising their products and possible control of the oversight bodies. Legislators believe that such innovations would reduce the influence of tobacco advertising on youth, as well as savings of $ 100 billion a year on medical services that are available adherents of habit.

Zimbabwe Tobacco

Zimbabwe’s official tobacco harvest may fall as much as 40 percent to 42 million kilograms this year as destitute farmers sell the leaf illegally, the government’s Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board said.

The southern African nation last year produced an estimated 70 million kilograms of tobacco leaf. The exact size of the crop may be difficult to measure because destitute farmers are selling their leaf on the black market, Andrew Matibiri, chief executive officer of the board, said in a phone interview from the capital, Harare, today.

“The practice is illegal, but some farmers are desperate because they’re facing challenges,” said Matibiri. Under Zimbabwean law, tobacco can only be sold on auction or to licensed merchants.

Farmers are selling tobacco for as little as $1 a kilogram, compared with an average price of $3.20 a kilogram last year, the marketing board chief said. The southern African nation produces flue-cured tobacco that rivals the U.S. for quality.

Tobacco production in Zimbabwe has plummeted since 2000, when President Robert Mugabe authorized the often-violent seizure of most white-owned farms. That year, the country produced 236 million kilograms of tobacco, making it the world’s second-largest exporter after Brazil. Since then Zimbabwe has slumped to the world’s sixth-largest exporter after Brazil, India, the U.S., the European Union and Argentina.
