Tobacco companies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, argue that the sponsorship of education shows their passion about social responsibilities, which should be encouraged. Some people are also worried that if tobacco companies retreat from supporting the Project Hope for developing education in poverty-stricken rural areas, it will be difficult for concerned schools to survive the shortage of operational funds and if they cannot, then students will be the biggest victims.
Sugarcoated poison Carrie (www.cheap-marlborocigarettes.com): Early this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a 2-year-old baby in southwest China’s Chongqing was surprisingly found to be skillful at smoking. It was later found the baby took up the smoking habit under the influence and allurement of others. This example shows how big the external environment’s impact is on a child. What will happen to young students when tobacco advertisements are on campus?
Tobacco companies might argue the sponsorship of education shows that they are undertaking social responsibilities. In fact, they are trying to build up a positive self-image while making huge profits. Real charity is never profit-oriented. In Scotland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], things are a little further along: late last month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Edinburgh parliament passed new legislation for much the same measures.
So it is that the UK is moving yet further into the post-cigarette age: something that, for those of us who are old enough to remember a smoke-fugged country where the habit was all but encouraged, may prompt either a shiver of nostalgia, a sharp feeling of relief, or an ambivalent mixture of both. If you are in your mid-40s or over, you will probably recall cigarette adverts on TV,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mass smoking on public transport (the London Underground was a particular joy), the pleasures of motoring trips with perma-smoking adults, celebration boxes of fags that were obligatory for any family Christmas (we had JPS ones in our house, packaged in a huge black tube), and much more besides.
Chatshow hosts and guests puffed freely, footballers had a crafty cig at half-time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and even high-profile athletes were partial. If you doubt this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should google a hurdler named Shirley Strong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Olympic silver medallist and unabashed smoker, and marvel at what a weird place the world once was. Why give up? Why not just carry on puffing away on his industry’s output until he croaks? “Well, we’re all going to go one day.”
Over at Ash – Action On Smoking and Health – Ogden’s opposite number is Deborah Arnott. She was fond of the occasional cigarette until 2003, when she decided to leave a job in TV production and devote her working life to the anti-smoking struggle. “I smoked Silk Cut,” she says, “which probably shows my age.” Though she’s in favour of going further than the government (she supports a complete ban on smoking in cars, whether they contain children or not), she says the new strategy deserves plenty of applause, chiefly because moves against smoking must be regularly renewed and extended, as proved by evidence from abroad.
To pause is to run the risk of the numbers once again increasing: in Ireland, she tells me, the government successfully brought in smoke-free legislation, but “they didn’t do anything else, and smoking started to creep back up again”. Much the same thing apparently happened in Finland, where a similar failure to keep up the anti-smoking momentum meant that cigarette use stayed at much the same level and, among women, went up.
