Based On New Study, Tobacco Control Researchers Call On FDA To Require Complete Disclosure From Tobacco Companies Of Changes Made To Cigarettes
As President Obama prepares to sign a bill giving the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight of the tobacco industry, a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers shows that tobacco manufacturers have continually changed the ingredients and the design of their cigarettes over time, even if those changes have exceeded acceptable product variance guidelines. The result, say the researchers, is that consumers who buy the same brand of product are not made aware of how that product has been altered and what effect those alterations might have on their levels of addiction or harm.

Dying At Home: A Trend That Could Make Hospitals More Efficient

Hospitals across Canada are seeking ways to free up beds. University of Alberta researcher Donna Wilson has a suggestion: people should be encouraged to die at home rather than in hospital. She looked at statistics dating back to 1950 and has found that there"s been a dramatic change in the location of death of Canadians. Up until 1994, about 80 per cent of people dying each year were passing on in hospital. Now that number is down to 61 per cent, and Wilson is hoping the trend continues. She"d like to see only 40 per cent of people passing on in hospital because, with an aging baby boom population, this could reduce wait lists and free up hospital beds for those who need life-saving treatment or surgery. In most cases, she says, it"s also a much more dignified death for a family member. Wilson says in the next 20 years the number of people dying could double and if death rates in hospital stay at 80 per cent. those numbers mean a potential tie-up of every single bed in Canada for three days of the year, because each person takes up a bed for an average of 10 days. The professor in the Faculty of Nursing wants to see governments put more money into developing hospices, nursing homes and training for home care. Quinn Phillips University of Alberta
