Cigarette and Tobacco News:BLAGG : Giving Credit Where Credit Is DueRead Complete Article: Morning News of NW Arkansas, 2009-02-13 Author: Brenda Blagg THE MORNING NEWS
Review: State senators on Thursday followed the House of Representatives' lead to approve a hefty tobacco tax increase in Arkansas.
The vote effectively guarantees major improvements to the delivery of health-related services to Arkansans. But don't declare the work done yet. There must be enabling legislation enacted for the new programs and budget bills passed to direct the new revenue where promised.
What the Senate approved on Thursday is a 56-cents-a-pack hike on cigarettes, along with a change in the tax on smokeless tobacco, that Gov. Mike Beebe proposed to fund a statewide trauma system and other health needs, including the operation in Fayetteville of a satellite campus of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
The "no" votes came from Sens. Bill Pritchard, Elkins, and Ruth Whitaker, Cedarville; and Reps. Duncan Baird, Lowell; Jonathan Barnett, Siloam Springs; Les Carnine, Rogers; Debra Hobbs, Rogers; Donna Hutchinson, Bella Vista; Bryan King, Green Forest; Mark Martin, Prairie Grove.; Mary Lou Slinkard, Gravette; and Jon Woods, Springdale -- every one of them a Republican.
Each may have had some additional reason to be against the tobacco tax, but each was also heavily pressured by tobacco interests and the Republican Party to vote against it.

Tobacco History: Cigarettes and Literature | The Social History of SmokingGeorge Latimer AppersonChapter 10:The growth of cigar-smoking was rapid. Mr. Steinmetz, in his book on "Tobacco," published in 1857, remarked that no way of using tobacco had made a more striking advance in England within the preceding twenty years than cigars. For a long time it had been confined in this country to the richer class of smokers, but when he wrote it was "in universal use." The wonder is that with so many men smoking cigars the old domestic and club restrictions, as pilloried in Thackeray's pages, were maintained so long. In 1853 Leech had an admirably drawn sketch in Punch of paterfamilias, in the absence of his wife, giving a little dinner. Beside him sits his small son, and on either side of the table sit two of his cronies. One has a cigar in his hand and is blowing a cloud of smoke, while the other is selecting a "weed." The host is just lighting his cigar as the maid enters with a tray of decanters and glasses, and with disgust written plainly on her face. The objectionable child beside him says—"Lor! Pa, are you going to smoke? My eye! won't you catch it when Ma comes home, for making the curtains smell!"

Chapter 2:
A curious scene took place at Oxford in 1605 when King James visited the University. Two subjects were debated by learned dons before his Majesty, and one of them, at his own suggestion, was, "Whether the frequent use of tobacco is good for healthy men?" Among those who spoke were Doctors Ailworth, Gwyn, Gifford and Cheynell. The discussion, needless to say, being conducted in the presence of the author of the "Counterblaste to Tobacco," was not favourable to the herb. The King summed up in a speech which hopelessly begged the question while it contained plenty of strong denunciation. After his Majesty had spoken, one learned doctor, Cheynell, who is described by the recorder, Isaac Wake, the Public Orator of the University, as second to none of the doctors, had the courage to rise and, with a pipe held forth in his hand, to speak both wittily and eloquently in favour of tobacco from the medicinal point of view, praising it to the skies, says Wake, as of virtue beyond all other remedial agents.
His wit pleased both the King and the whole assembly, whom it moved to laughter; but when he had finished, his Majesty made a lengthy rejoinder in which he said some curious things. He objected to the medicinal use of tobacco, and quite agreed with previous speakers that such a use must have arisen among Barbarians and Indians, who he went on to say had as much knowledge of medicine as they had of civilized customs. If, he argued, there were men whose bodies were benefited by tobacco-smoke, this did not so much redound to the credit of tobacco, as it did reflect upon the depraved condition of such men, that their bodies should have sunk to the level of those of Barbarians so as to be affected by remedies such as were effective on the bodies of Barbarians and Indians! His Majesty kindly suggested that doctors who believed in tobacco as a remedial agent should take themselves and their medicine of pollution off to join the Indians.
