Is smokeless tobacco attracting more and more teenagers?

Smokeless tobacco products are an unsafe, extremely addictive product, say  anyone who has used them! Unfortunately, the new smoking cigarettes bans in effect have an unintended effect on the use of smokeless tobacco. In light of these bans, tobacco companies are strongly marketing their smokeless tobacco products. Many of these products are being advertised as more discrete alternatives to cigarettes in places where smoking cigarettes is not allowed. Some companies promote these smokeless products as a way to help quit smoking cigarettes. However, these products contain more nicotine than cheap cigarettes and therefore create an addiction quickly.

Keep kids from starting:

Parents can be the greatest influence on their own teens, even if they are users themselves. Share with your kids, at a very early age, about how you got started, how difficult it is to quit and what it costs you. Help them find help to quit if needed.

Will Greek Citizens Listen to the new Smoking Ban this time?

In a case of political déjà vu, the country is once again taking legal action to stop its tobacco troubles.

Last July, Greece's leaders had enough. The government clamped down on smoking, implementing a partial ban that levied 500-euro fines on convicted offenders. Bars and restaurants failing to comply risked having their licenses revoked.

The only problem was, few were willing to listen. Smokers regularly found loopholes, resorting as far as moving cabs to grab an afternoon light.

"There were problems in the implementation of the law, there were grey areas and contradictions," Health Minister Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulou told Reuters.

Starting on Wednesday, those grey areas are turning to red zones. The AP reports that all indoor common spaces are included in the new law, which will slap fines of 50 to 500 euros ($65-$650) against individual offenders. Businesses ignoring cigarette butts face stiffer fees in the range of 500 to 10,000 euros ($650-$12,750).

The decision is penetrating public spaces for both fiscal and health reasons. Recent polls show that Greece is the most nicotine-needy nation in all of Europe, with 40 percent of the population turning to a daily puff.
