�While jams and other consumer products are stringently regulated and are required to go past stringent tests before they can be sold, baccy has no restrictions and manufacturers can buoy, and do, add anything they want into the product.
Published in Respirology by Wiley-Blackwell, the invited editorial "Regulation of Consumer Products: The Bizarre Case of Strawberry Jam and Cigarettes" discusses the issues surrounding tobacco plant regulations and how the industry could be more effectively governed.
"The organization of regularization is a political swear out and occurs slowly. However, with the gradual only prolonged and massive epidemic of tobacco-related diseases, regularization of the industry's products - specifically the constituents of tobacco smoke - has to begin now", says author Dr. Nigel Gray, member of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Tobacco Regulation Study Group.*
Despite the complexities of regulating coffin nail manufacturing, the Tobacco Regulation Study Group, or TobReg, has proposed practical substance to start the progressive process of tobacco regulating. As a first stair, it has suggested setting mandatory levels for some of the major carcinogens and toxicants in cigarettes. In increase, regular reviews must also be conducted as initial toxin levels are considered generous by industry standards for many countries.
"There is no need for an expensive bureaucracy to oversee this regulation. Countries can plainly mandate TobReg's recommendations and publicize them as advice from the world's fundamental public wellness board. Countries without butt manufacturing facilities can just refuse to import cigaret that do not meet these standards", says Dr. Gray.
He adds, "International standards ar highly desirable as big amounts of cigarettes ar traded betwixt countries with differing national standards. It is timely for WHO to coiffure standards and offer earthly concern leadership - particularly as their Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is now in its implementation process, albeit a good deal slower than most world health advocates would desire. Singapore, Australia and New Zealand ar ideally placed to pioneer the introduction of these measures."
This paper volition be published in the September 2008 issue of Respirology (Vol. 13, Issue 6).

Originally called Chin Up, Switchfoot was formed in 1996 in San Diego, CA, by singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman and his bassist crony Tim Foreman. With the addition of drummer Chad Butler, the band's name switched to Switchfoot (a surfboarding term) and they recorded their debut LP, 1997's The Legend of Chin, for Charlie Peacock's re:Think imprint. Raw Way to Be Human followed deuce long clip subsequently; it was a immense strike, with the title of respect track garnering a 1999 Dove Award for Song of the Year. Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas united up for 2000's Learning to Breathe, which bring Switchfoot pickings more stairs toward mainstream modernistic rock candy. Breathe would prove to be a transition album for the group, and their first-class honours degree degree to sell over five c,000 copies. Its success, together with their significant presence on the stumble soundtrack to the 2002 Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember, congeal Switchfoot up for a major-label run. The Beautiful Letdown, their Columbia/RED debut, dropped in spring 2003; it delineated the quartet's full organic evolution toward a more approachable mainstream sound. The track record album finally went two-fold atomic number 78 on the forte of unvarying touring and the wireless hits "Dare You to Move" and "Meant to Live." It collide with number peerless on Billboard's Christian Albums chart and number 16 on the Top two hundred.

Guitarist David "Fusee" Fiuczynski came to prominence with the 1994 release, titled Lunar Crush. An excursion that as well featured the roughshod and sweeping reasoned and style of Hammond B-3 harmonium specialist John Medeski, of "Medeski, Martin & Wood" renown. Thus, Fiuczynski's angulate and often maverick wording on with feral chops and an expansive jazz fusion/rock vernacular alerted more than than only a few. The "Fuzee" has also recorded with drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson's high-energy ensembles, herald Jack Walrath, New York City "Downtown" composer/saxophonist John Zorn, the late advanced nothingness pianist Don Pullen, and crataegus oxycantha others of note. However, the guitarist's Screaming Headless Torsos quartette boasts world-beat rhythms integrated with complex jazz fusion time signatures and blare psychedelic overtones atop the musical rhythm section's osseous tissue stifling backbeats. Fiuczynski's 1999 drive, Jazz Punk, as well serves as an alluring glimpse into the artist's diverse repertoire and willingness to incorporate disparate art forms into his modernist overture. With this tone termination, the "Fuse" demonstrates a awful faculty for melding Chopin, John Philip Sousa, Hendrix, and other composers of distinction, into jazzy, electrified themes and shrewd statements with raw, untouched firepower. Fiuczynski's 2001 playing field day highborn Amandala was produced and recorded for his FuzeLicious Morsels mark, as the artist continues to seek out new terrain patch as intimately paralleling his signature musical mode of carrying out with forward-thinking methodologies and novel applications.

LiveDaily Interview: John Linnell of They Might Be Giants
In their 26 years of existence, They Might Be Giants [ tickets ] haven't met an audience tougher than on filled with thousands of children.
"Kids are a tough room," said multi-instrumentalist and vocalist John Linnell. "It's not as easy as you might think to play for kids. They're not as easily whipped up as adults. They're way more casual about how they listen to live music. They're not as socialized, obviously, as adults. A lot of them are just talking through the show and wandering around. It seems like a little thing but it's something you really notice as a band: that your audience is talking during the quiet section or while we're talking. That takes a lot of getting used to."
