More than two hundred specialists English, Portuguese and Latin American meeting in Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz) in the framework of the XXXVII Congress Neumosur, have called for increased legislative pressure for tobacco companies to report the exact composition of cigarettes, and particularly of the substances added artificially to modify its properties, substances that today are protected as trade secrets, despite the discoveries to date have demonstrated that cigarettes are now more than "designer drug" that snuff. American scientific societies (ALT), Portuguese (SPP) and southern Spain (Neumosur), lamenting that in both developed and developing others still there is no effective legislative control of a substance that kills more than half of those who consume their usual dose and considered absolutely necessary that the entire manufacturing process of cigarettes, including the final stage known as "salsa" , and which are blended aromatic and taste properties, is completely transparent to the public and health authorities.
All research conducted from 1965 to date are inconclusive regarding the inclusion of additives to increase the absorption of nicotine, and therefore, smoking addiction, as well as the presence of radioactive substances such as polonium (Po) as radiation has a significant synergistic effect with other chemical carcinogens snuff, leading to increase from 8.3 to 25 times the risk of lung cancer throughout life, in relation to the non-smoker. A recent study in the United States (1), has confirmed and extended these data, contributing to the conclusion that the radiation dose received by the smoking population is 36 times greater than the sum of that received by workers of all nuclear power plants United States and all military facilities that use nuclear energy.
is also known snuff how companies have added chemicals derived from artificially ammonia to increase pH and therefore increase the absorption of nicotine in cigarettes, which increases the degree of addiction. Two internal reports snuff company Brown & Williamson (B & W) revealed the circumstances. These two reports were published in October 2005 by the Wall Street Journal. The first report, in 1991, is a manual on the manufacture of snuff that is, above all, the chemistry of ammonia. The second makes a competitive analysis of the best known brand of Philip Morris (Marlboro), studying all the technology of ammonia used for this brand. Finally in this report concludes that "ammonia is the key technology of Marlboro." As is known, this issue (artificially add ammonia to increase nicotine addiction) was the basis of the complaint lodged by the Junta de Andalucía to tobacco in relation to health costs of cigarette smoking.
All these data, little known by the general population, and even health professionals suspicion how far it can be manipulated this addictive consumer product and highlight the enormous importance that the law requiring tobacco companies to last line of what remains today is part of their "secret."
In this regard, pulmonologists remember that the Penal Code subject to penalties of up to twelve years' imprisonment and disqualification for public office or employment, profession or trade for a period of six to ten years "which sets one or more persons ionizing radiation that endanger their lives, safety, health or property "and sentenced to" imprisonment of one to four years, a fine of six to twelve months and disqualified for a profession, trade, industry or commerce in time of three to six years anyone who "alters with additives or other unauthorized agents that might harm the health of people food, substances or beverages intended for trade food. " In this regard, inviting us to think both snuff industry as the governments and administrations are to maintain collective security and public health, to act accordingly.

-Snuff and poverty
Studies indicate that by 2030 the number of deaths caused by tobacco use worldwide will exceed 8.3 million and most of these deaths (70 percent) will occur in developing countries. In Latin America usually smoke 1 / 3 of the people, the Southern Cone countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil), more smokers. The results of the Global Survey on Youth and Snuff (GYTS) applied to students 13 to 15 years also show that South American countries currently have the highest consumption of cigarettes in adolescents. At the same time, the snuff, in the opinion of the American pulmonologists, a factor that hampers the development of these countries, quite contrary to the claims of the tobacco industry. It is, in essence, a vicious circle: the poor are more likely to smoke than the rich and poor households spend a greater percentage of their income on snuff. According to the WHO itself, "together, snuff and poverty form a vicious circle from which it is sometimes difficult to escape."
addition to asking the tobacco companies report the exact composition of their cigarettes, pulmonologists meeting Neumosur Congress considered vital to raise the price of snuff (in Argentina, for example, a pack costs more than 1.2 million) and advance laws prohibiting smoking in public places (in those countries where they exist), a complete ban on advertising and funding of treatments dependent smokers.
