| IPCPR Challenges Latest Smoking and Health Study | International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR) |
| IPCPR Labels Latest Study "Junk Science"  Rebuttal Previously Distributed to Media Outlets The study, published in the Feb. 15 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, was funded primarily by grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institutes of Health. The study concludes that "physicians should... counsel cessation of pipe and cigar smoking...." "Nothing in the study justifies this erroneous conclusion. It is prejudicial and preconceived, thereby justifying the labeling of such surveys as corrupt misuse of junk science," said Chris McCalla, legislative director of the IPCPR which is comprised largely of some 2,000 neighborhood mom-and-pop retail stores and family-owned manufacturers of premium cigars, pipes, tobacco and related accoutrements. McCalla cited several features of the study that he said support his group's position: Of 3,528 participants in the study, only 58 had ever smoked cigars or pipes and not cigarettes, and only 428 had smoked pipes or cigars along with cigarettes. Only 47 of the subjects were current cigar smokers, of which only 16 were current cigar smokers who had never smoked cigarettes. Of the cigar smokers, 95 percent were male, but only 34 percent of non-smokers were men. There was no effort in the study to determine the type of cigar smoked - machine-made or premium, hand-made cigars. The study showed no clinical effect on lung function in cigar smokers. There were no differences in airflow obstruction between cigar smokers and non-smokers. Cotinine levels (a form of nicotine) were similar in cigar smokers and non-smokers.
"The study found no clinical differences between cigar smokers and non-smokers and to draw conclusions to the contrary is to participate in a conspiracy of public disinformation and deception," McCalla said. |
This nationally-distributed press release is based on extensive work from your Association's Washington, D.C.-based consultant firm that specializes in FDA and Health issues. Following the story's original release (click here to view that article), we felt it necessary to set formally refute its unfounded claims and foundations rooted in continued "Junk Science." We are taking this opportunity to share with all of you one of the many press releases sent to date. This demonstrates yet another attempt by the anti-tobacco establishment and Tobacco Control at governmental levels to further promulgate hysterical myths, bad science, and propaganda in their missions to mislead and misinform. You may find this article an invaluable resource when writing a letter to the editor of your local paper or state representatives. You may also find it a good source for future testimony, or other uses. As always, if you should have any questions about this article or other legislative issues, please do not hesitate to contact me. |
