Smoking Rate among Women in India Is Higher Than 30 Years Ago

Smoking rate among women in India has increased within the last 30 years however the number of men who light up on a daily basis dropped in the country where more and more people are consuming tobacco products these days, state analysts.

Smoking rate among Indian adult men declined from 33.8 % in 1980 to 23 % in 2013 whereas women smoking in 2013 constituted 3.2 %, virtually exactly the same as in 1980 affirms a completely different research on worldwide smoking predominance released not so long ago. In 2013 about 12.1 million women lighted up in India, in comparison to 5.3 million women smokers registered in 1980 whilst the predominance of male smokers stood at 98 million in the very same year. Cigarette users in India smoked about 8.2 cigarettes on a daily basis, according to the report.

United States mentioned 14.3 % women smokers accompanied by Russia and Nepal with 16.9 %, Brazil with 11 %, Pakistan 5.4 %, India 3.2 %, China 2.1 % and Sri Lanka 1 %.

India had 35 million cigarette users totaling about 110 million in spite of the drop in the smoking rate from around 19 % to 13 per cent of the population, reported the research.

The survey determined that worldwide smoking rate among men constituted 41 % in 1980; however it dropped to 31 %. When it comes to women, the expected predominance of day-to-day cigarette smoking constituted 10.6 % in 1980 and already 2013 that had decreased to 6.2 %. "India is at present in the 2 stage of the tobacco pandemic, which comes after a cyclical routine. Despite the fact that there are a lot of men smokers, women smokers do go along with this trend," explains Dr. Monika Arora. According to Dr. Monika Arora the rate of women smoking in cities has boosted. "Not so long ago we conducted a study of schools in Chennai and Delhi and discovered that the there is a very small gender difference among adolescents who are fighting up.

Smokeless tobacco

Smokeless tobacco accounts for a significant and growing portion of global tobacco use, especially in South Asia. Over 25 distinct types of smokeless tobacco products are used worldwide, including both commercialized and local or homegrown products, used orally and nasally. Some products combine tobacco with substantial amounts of chemical additives and other plant material that may confer additional risk to the user. Moreover, smokeless tobacco products contain many of the toxins and carcinogens found in cigarettes, and thus result in many of the same diseases caused by smoking. In addition, smokeless tobacco use increases periodontal disease, tooth loss, and precancerous mouth lesions.
Despite the harm from smokeless tobacco use to both individuals and society at large, these products are not sufficiently regulated in many countries. The landscape of smokeless tobacco manufacturing and marketing is rapidly evolving. The largest American, British, and Japanese cigarette companies have entered the smokeless tobacco market and are branding their smokeless products as an extension of cigarette brands,a complement to be used in smoke-free environments. Understanding this “dual-use” consumption pattern will be essential to developing an appropriate regulatory structure for smokeless tobacco.

Global patterns of smokeless tobacco use vary widely. The import and sale of smokeless tobacco products are banned in 40 countries and areas. In some countries, like Finland and Egypt, men use smokeless tobacco products in much greater numbers than women because such products are perceived as masculine; in countries like South Africa, Thailand, and Bangladesh, women use smokeless tobacco products more than men because they are seen as a discreet way to consume tobacco.
Research addressing smokeless tobacco is limited. Monitoring and surveillance systems are scarce, and significant research gaps exist in identifying ingredients, additives, and toxicities of smokeless tobacco products. Little is known about product pricing, substitution of smokeless tobacco for smoked tobacco, and youth susceptibility to smokeless tobacco use. Policies to control smokeless tobacco are underdeveloped. The integration of smokeless tobacco control measures into the wider framework of tobacco control can help to curb its use.

Consumer Says:

Beta ek gutka khane ka itna shauk hai to ek kaam kar. Ek dost aur banna. Kaandha deney ke kaam aayega.

Son, if you are so fond of eating gutka [chewing tobacco], make sure you make a friend so that you have someone to help carry your coffin.

Title track from Bollywood movie, Wanted, India

THE INDUSTRY Says:

We adopted our core strategy for growth: and that was to expand the smokeless tobacco category by converting adult smokers to smokeless tobacco.

Yves Saint Laurent - Trendy Product

Anyone who has something to do with the fashion industry is aware of the fact that cigarettes are nearly more of a habit than the true clothing.

Nicotine controls your hunger and the fashion advertises the trend to be slim, as a result it has become the norm. The majority of cigarette breaks occur in the course of the day than anything else and from time to time they are also replaced for a lunch break. Not just that, but smoking them has been considered cool and stylish being displayed in advertising campaigns all over the world and even appearing on the stage at Louis Vuitton’s Fall show.

Yves Saint Laurent is the up to date high-fashion label to set its name on a package of cigarettes(here). To tell the truth, the package is appealing and trendy, with its black and gold colors used in the design practically making us ignore that its contents are habit-growing and can in fact lead to diverse diseases over time. The color scheme is similar of the fashion house’s “Opium” fragrance bottles which are fitting.

YSL is not the very first high-class brand to offer its name to cigarettes. For instance Pierre Cardin, Versace, Givenchy, Christian Lacroix and Cartier have all offered their well-known names to cigarette manufacturers. Despite the fact that it is not the healthiest kind of revenue, nicotine is one of the world’s largest businesses and therefore it is a good idea that some of the world’s most recognized brands would attempt to take advantage.

A smoke, a book, a cup of coffee

“A smoke, a book, a cup of coffee.

These are the little things that get us through this sometimes weary world and all the rainy days.”

  R.M. Engelhardt, The Resurrection Waltz Poems R.M. Engelhardt

I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.

Marlboro Man

Marlboro man is American cowboy and main character of Marlboro country, the best cigarette advertisement of the century, world recognized cigarette advertisement character, masculine trademark and macho icon. Marlboro man is the ad embodiment that was used by tobacco producer Philip Morris for the Marlboro cigarettes that primarily was a lady smoking brand.

The history of Marlboro man begins in 1954. The parent father of Marlboro Man was Leo Burnet- advertisement agent. P. Morris Tobacco Company introduced an innovation in producing of Marlboro cigarettes. This novelty ought to result a 3600 change of target smoking tobacco group.

This was the Burnet’s main purpose in creating the advertisement for new Marlboro cigarettes. Looking for the resolution, Leo had done a brainstorming: “What’ the masculine symbol people can think of?” This seems to be a reasonable and successful idea. The answer came from the wild New Mexico, Ranch in Cimarron that was “a real cowboy on his chaps and horse”. In 1972, this tobacco ad brought to Marlboro cigarettes the rank of world best selling tobacco product .And most famous one too. Every image of a cowboy, western landscape and/or red color keeps in mind the Marlboro trademark and it doesn’t matter if these images are accompanied or no by slogan or brand name.

Marlboro man that lives in Marlboro country becomes the symbol of freedom, wildness and independence. The famous cowboy is placed on the first place from the “101 most influential people who never lived” in Imaginary Luminaries. It also was claimed “the brand image of the century”.

The roles of the Marlboro man were portrayed by famous people as : actor and author William Thourlby (the first Marlboro Man), Quarterback Charley Conerly, Darrell Winfield, Dick Hammer, Brad Johnson, Bill Dutra, Dean Myers, Robert Norris, Wayne McLaren, David McLean and Tom Mattox.

How many sites selling cigarettes are there in the USA?

Tobacco products are a major retail item in the USA. Over 47 million adults and 4 million teenagers smoke cigarettes. Annual sales of tobacco products exceed $40 billion and there are approximately 543 000 tobacco retailers in the country. Smokers have traditionally purchased their cigarettes either by the pack or the carton from local retail outlets. These local retail outlets are now facing new competition from the growing number of e-commerce sites. Internet cigarette vendors (ICVs) include those that sell online exclusively, as well as local “brick and mortar” retail outlets that advertise and sell tobacco products on the internet. More Americans are online than ever, and many of them are purchasing products on the internet. As of August 2000, over 116.5 million Americans were online and 42% of US households had a computer with internet access. Over 47% of American internet users have purchased something online, and consumers report that one of the primary attractions of online shopping is finding low prices.

Increased state taxes on cigarettes have fuelled demand among smokers who seek refuge from escalating retail prices. In the USA, state excise taxes vary considerably. Vendors on Indian reservations sell tax-free cigarettes, and excise taxes are low in tobacco producing states such as Virginia ($.025 per pack of 20 cigarettes), Kentucky ($.03), and North Carolina ($.05). High excise taxes are featured in states such as California ($.87), Alaska ($1.00), Hawaii ($1.00), and New York ($1.11). Given that each carton contains 10 packs, a smoker buying cigarettes in New York will pay over $10.00 more per carton in excise taxes than a smoker in Virginia. In the past, when a state raised its excise tax on cigarettes, smokers who did not quit would either pay the increased price, or travel to Indian reservations or neighbouring states with cheaper prices. However, the internet offers the possibility of purchasing from Indian reservations or from states with lower excise taxes without having to physically drive there. A ready source of cheap cigarettes is now a mouse click away. This may have significant public health implications because tobacco consumption is adversely affected by price. When cigarette prices increase, smokers are likely to smoke less, change to cheaper generic brands, or quit smoking altogether. For instance, in California a 50 cent increase in state excise taxes (proposition 10) was followed by a 29% decrease in cigarette sales. Although the majority of this decrease was probably caused by reduced consumption, media reports speculated that many California smokers were simply avoiding high taxes by buying directly from internet vendors.

To the best of our knowledge, no published peer reviewed studies have examined web sites that sell cigarettes. The present study attempts to fill this void in the literature by using a rigorous internet based searching and sampling methodology to estimate the number of internet cigarette vendors. In addition, a standardised coding system is used to determine their characteristics including geographic location, presence of age and health warnings, and sales and marketing practices.
