15 Brown & Williamson on Nicotine. Moreover, nicotine is addictive We are, then, in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug. Addison Yeaman; General Counsel to the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company; July 17, Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance to warrant remedial action 1964 Report of the Advisory Committee to the U.S. Surgeon General 15

16 Philip Morris on Nicotine. Think of the cigarette pack as a storage container for a day s supply of nicotine. Think of the cigarette as a dispenser for a unit dose of nicotine Think of a puff of smoke as a vehicle of nicotine Smoke is beyond question the most optimized vehicle of nicotine and the cigarette the most optimized dispenser of smoke. Dr. William Dunn; Philip Morris Tobacco Company, Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, R. J. Reynolds chimes in. In a sense, the tobacco industry may be thought of as being a specialized, highly ritualized, and stylized segment of the pharmaceutical industry. Tobacco products uniquely contain and deliver nicotine, a potent drug with a variety of physiological effects. Claude Teague, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration,

NSDUH, NSDUH 1 and NHIS (during 22 29, on average) NSDUH was 5.35 percentage points (PP) higher than NHIS. NSDUH 1 was 3.56 PP higher than NHIS. NSDUH was 1.79 PP higher than NSDUH 1. Essentially all of that difference was between estimates of less than daily smoking. Why NSDUH still higher than NHIS? Would Not at all NHIS ever smokers of 1+ lifetime cigarettes who were abstinent <3 days have responded that they smoked during the previous 3 days in NSDUH? If so, prevalence estimate would be raised only by approximately.4 PP, thus not explaining much of the difference. Design issues? Something else? 32

53 Possible Explanations Hardening of the target Rate of self-quitting without intervention is decreasing over time Unintended consequences Promoting medications might lead smokers to think that they cannot quit without medications, lowering self-efficacy Increased taxes might lead some to reduce consumption and thus feel they ve done enough Smoke-free I m OK as long as I don t bother others; bonding with colleagues Trends in Per Capita Consumption of Various Tobacco Products United States, Cigarettes Cigars Pipe/Roll your own Chewing Snuff POUNDS Source: Tobacco Situation and Outlook Report, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Census Note: Among persons > 18 years old.

56 Reflections Major reductions in consumption of cigarettes, chewing tobacco. Increased consumption of snuff and cigars Concerns about waterpipes Concerns about industry manipulation marketing to promote dual product use Concerns about OTPs alone or with cigarettes Little population evidence for hardening. Continuing need for detailed surveillance to effectively monitor use and factors influencing use 56

57 Hardening The hardening hypothesis states that tobacco control activities have mostly influenced those smokers who found it easier to quit and, thus, remaining smokers are those who are less likely to stop smoking. Hughes JR, Drug & Alcohol Dependence 211. Has been used to call for better treatment and in support of harm reduction strategies

58 The Environment and Drug Use in animal studies, natural behaviors such as eating, drinking palatable substances, social access, and opportunities to exercise reduce the rewarding effects of drugs. Likewise, in humans, an environment enriched with positive reinforcers such as opportunities for learning, personal comfort, and social success serves as a deterrent to drug abuse, while negative aspects of the environment such as stress, poverty, and social isolation contribute to drug abuse.
