INTRODUCTION TO GUIDE
This is an annotated bibliography or index to tobacco control related web sites. Please understand that this site may not provide you with immediate answers, but should provide you with links to the answers, or at least links to individuals and/or organizations who should have the answers. As well as providing references to other sites perhaps this page can offer a few ideas and solutions. Before taking any action it is vital to understand the problem. It is best to conduct social change efforts based on knowledge. The first section of this guide offers some information that I believe is too often ignored; I suggest that the range of knowledge needed to successfully pursue tobacco control is larger that many people realize. The tobacco problem begins with the tobacco plant, then quickly moves to the individuals within corporations that plan and create the final product, the machines and processes that alter the leaf and manufacture the product, the distribution systems, marketing and promotion, lobbying efforts, sales efforts, corporate administration, etc. The big picture is that tobacco control involves, in large part, the control of the tobacco industry (the full range of individuals and companies involved in all aspects of the growth, manufacture, promotion, distribution and sale of all tobacco products). This perspective leads to the idea that of much less importance are efforts directed to the victim of the manipulations of the members of the tobacco industry - the addicted user of tobacco products. We face a harmful health problem based in a money-making big business. The staff members of the tobacco industry are guided by simple economic principles, the key is to make money for the owners. Other considerations, such as health, are not relevant to this economic model. Tobacco control and health activists are the counter balance to those applying the economic model.
I do not believe that "Cigarette smoking is Public Health Enemy Number One." I believe that the farming, manufacture and production, distribution, promotion, sale, historical events, etc. and then only finally, the use of the tobacco products is Public Health Enemy Number One.
There is no one solution to the
tobacco problem. We do not face just one problem - hence there is no one solution. It is necessary to implement dozens of solutions to the dozens of deadly problems.
PART ONE - KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ACTION
THE TOBACCO PLANT AND FARMING Before dealing with the various forms of manufactured tobacco product it is wise to examine the plant. Please note that in some sites tobacco is a "field crop" in some it is a "specialty crop" in some a "commercial crop."
The leaf and the farmer are not the problem.
The
Virginia Tobacco Communities Project is an attempt to talk to and understand the farmer; a project of the
Southern Tobacco Communities Project, the aim is "to bring together community leaders
in the health field, the tobacco community, and community development from six southern,
tobacco-growing states."
As is the
Rural Economic Analysis Program; they once offered a document titled What Happens to the Tobacco Producers? And the
Tobacco Communities Project.
The farmers have an organization
The International Tobacco Growers' Association "the voice of thousands of tobacco farmers all over the world."
Tobacco:
A Gift Of Food & Energy presents the idea of tobacco plant biomass for energy and as animal feed.
The tobacco plant has many properties, tobacco farmers can sell their leaf for purposes other than production of cigarettes.
The USDA has some interesting farming data from the
Economic Research Service such as the Tobacco Briefing Room, as well as
publications on tobacco, including the Tobacco Situation and Outlook Report. Contact the USDA Economics and Statistics System for your free
subscription to their tobacco report. The USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has
tobacco statistics and reports.
Visit the official site for the
North Carolina, Department of Agriculture; start
with the search engine and/or the Table of Contents.
Read about "field crops," economic statistics, etc.,
from the
Agricultural Statistics Services. Hunt through the material from the
Research Stations Division.
Visit
North Carolina State University's, Tobacco Information site for numerous documents on
tobacco agriculture. Read through the
2000 Flue-Cured Tobacco Information page to see an overview, costs and returns that are achieved by many growers, and learn of chemicals recommended for insect, weed and 'topper' control. From Worker protection standards see information concerning the risk of pesticide-related illness or injury. Much can be learned from the section of 2000 Burley Tobacco Information.
The
Florida Agricultural Information Retrieval System (FAIRS) has a search engine allowing
you
to hunt for tobacco topics of interest. Visit Tobacco Varieties for 2000.
The
Mann Library Gateway offers a good jump-off spot for agriculture and business data, including numerous items on tobacco, there is a search feature. See below for several examples. Under the USDA Economics and Statistics System see a collection of Search News results per page Home | News | Quotes | Subscribe | Info Pages | Printable News Articles Copyright by their respective owners.
