  • 22.11.2011 Region’s Illegal Tobacco Sales Spike

    More than a third of businesses that officials recently checked in southwest North Dakota sold discount cigarette online to minors, according to information released by the Southwestern District Health Unit on Friday.“We were very, very surprised when we saw the results,” said Tammy Hovet, Tobacco Prevention and Control project coordinator for SWDHU.Twenty-two of 63 businesses checked in eight counties sold online cigarettes to minors in September and October, she said. The data shows a sharp spike in illegal sales, since a check of 65 businesses in the same counties in June turned up...

  • 20.11.2011 Alexandria Tobacco Users Are Unhappy With New Law

    There is a certain irony to it, some have said.Smokers in Alexandria will have to leave local discount cigarettes stores to light up the products they just bought there.At least 25 feet from the stores to be exact, starting Jan. 1 after the Alexandria City Council passed an ordinance Oct. 4 banning smoking cigarettes in businesses previously exempt from state and local smoking cigarettes bans, including bars and buy cigarettes stores.And some tobacco users are not happy."They think the City Council way overstepped their boundaries," said Vonne Neal, owner of Alexandria's Smoke Shop." With...

  • 18.10.2011 New Jersey Considers New Taxes On Non-cigarette Tobacco Products

    Little cigars, which are taking increasing space on area tobacco-shop shelves, are shaped and smoked just like cigarettes. But because New Jersey taxes them differently, they cost nearly one-third the price.Over the past several years, increased state and federal taxes have helped turn some smokers on to less-taxed cigarettes store products, local shop owners and anti-smoking cigarettes groups say.New Jersey has a $2.70 tax per cigarette pack, and the federal government has a $1.01 excise tax it enacted two years ago.That sixth-highest cigarette tax in the country may entice more smokers to...

  • 10.09.2011 Free Patches For Smokers

    Quitting smoking cigarettes just got a little easier. For a limited time, the California Smokers' Helpline is sending callers from Nevada County free nicotine patches. Eligible cigarettes store users who call 1-800-NO-BUTTS and enroll in the free telephone-based cessation program will receive a free two-week starter kit of patches, while supplies last.The patches are an FDA-approved treatment proven to help smokers kick the habit. They release nicotine into the bloodstream through the skin, reducing withdrawal symptoms and slowly weaning smokers off nicotine. Nevada County was one of 34...

The Pubs That Died After Giving Up Smoking

In a year when the postman brought me fewer handwritten, stamped and posted Christmas cards, the corporate ones stood out. I liked a depressed Santa sitting under a pub sign saying NOBODY'S INN. It was a Merry Christmas from Forest (the pro-smoking people), hand-signed in different biros by Nicky, Sue x and Squiggle.

On the back was the business: please Save Our Pubs and Clubs by visiting amendthesmokingban.com. I duly did, and found a campaign pleading for some flexibility over the UK's blanket ban on smoking in public places. I approve of flexibility (and David Hockney, especially when guest-editing on Today) and disapprove of what my late mother called "tin Hitlers", ie people with a statutory authority to boss you about.

I approve of Forest, too, though they badly need a new name. It's an acronym of "Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco", which may have been a very modern and whizz-o monicker back in 1979 but not now. Freedom is (of course) a great thing; people organising to campaign for more of it is a great thing. But slammed together as a "Freedom Organisation", the phrase gives off faint whiffs of Stasi. Now that the BNP has decent suits and council seats and can flash its passes into the European Parliament, we should all be a bit careful of Newspeak.

According to Forest, 52 pubs closed every week in 2009. Including mine, briefly: the Oak's been locked but not shuttered twice in the past 12 months. Once when Fran the chef walked out in mid service and once when Nicky shouted "Time" for some unexplained reason and went home early.

The Oak's major closure – locked, bolted, shuttered and chained – was in the spring of 2008, after Anne the landlady had endured six months of the smoking ban (July 1 2007) during the foulest summer and wettest Christmas I can remember. She'd said "It will ruin me", and it did. She saw her takings drop by 90 per cent, struggled through her last New Year and left the trade she'd worked in since she was 15.

The village organised and cohered and set up a community company to run the Oak (for all the world like The Archers cohering round Peggy Woolley's gift of a community shop). I was briefly married to the tenant: my husband, being company secretary, was forever being called down "to sign for the barrels". Alas, while Ambridge's shop is free to buy its stock wherever it wishes, at the lowest price it can, our real-world Oak is tied to a pubco (Enterprise) from which it must purchase its beer. Fewer pubs means less beer must be sold at ever-increasing prices. Not an easy trick for a tenant to pull off (and that's why thousands of tied tenants are being balloted about strike action across the UK).

So the tenancy went back to Enterprise, who've had a succession of mine hosts stop-gapping behind the bar, and you keep wondering whether it's going to be open or closed. Steve even dropped round on the 30th to ask if New Year's Eve was still fancy-dress? We said don't risk it.

We trotted down at 11 o'clock as usual, hoping for a great, hot, beery blast of unbreathable fug, earbashing music and drunken shrieking. It was quiet in the front bar and Littlestjohn was in boringly respectable trousers. How I missed his satin miniskirt from the famous "Tarts and Vicars" New Year's Eve of 2004. All the men came as tarts, with padded bras and everything.

This year, we got down and dirty about parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; he loves his herbs, does Littlestjohn. Then we all watched Boris's fireworks on the telly.

Weirdly, while hoping like anything that the campaign to amend the smoking ban will work, I have no personal interest to declare. Having smoked a pack of Benson & Hedges every day for 20 years, tomorrow marks my first Hundred Days Smokefree. It will be as gloomy as the last 99. Tobacco smoke is smelly and filthy, the detritus is nasty and it carries you off with a pretty unholy last illness. But there is no other oral crutch that doesn't make you a) drunk or b) fat.
