First-ever plan crafted by Obama adminstration to fight antibiotics resistance

March 27, 2015 By Dave Smith

antibiotics Wider monitoring program among farmers who use antibiotics on their farm animals is needed said the Obama administration.

The national Plan released by the administration is 63 pages long.

The main aim of the plan is to use better medicines or drugs rather than reducing the usage of drugs.

It said that the five year strategy will lead to major reductions in the incidents of urgent and serious disease threats.

President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology has released a report based on the recommendations of the report the plan has been built.

The plan says, “All of us who depend on antibiotics must join in a common effort to detect, stop, and prevent the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria.”

The plan includes a three year goal to collect data on the resistance of the food producing animals, on the usage of antibiotics and also to measure industry stewardship programs.

The research will be funded by U.S. Food and Drug Administration or USDA.

The new plan is to discover antibiotics which will build stronger immune system and enhance the resistance of the animals to diseases.

The advocates say that the steps taken by USDA are light and it should ban on-therapeutic uses of medically important drugs instead of relying on the cooperation of companies.

Steve Roach, senior analyst with the advocacy group Keep Antibiotics Working said the administration strategy “ignores clear evidence that the use of medically important antibiotics for routine disease prevention creates a public health risk that is identical to those posed by routine use for growth promotion, drug makers regularly exploit this loophole by advertising the growth benefits that can result from using antibiotics for disease prevention and FDA has failed to crack down on this practice.”

E-cigarette warning on public health by Big Tobacco

March 23, 2015 By Jeff Suchon

e-cigaretteBig tobacco companies are pushing a range of control on e-cigarettes, they include lengthy warnings, restricted sales, reduced product ranges  and scientific testing requirements.

Nicotine, the e-cigarette warning says, is “addictive and habit-forming, and is very toxic in inhalation, in contact with the skin, or if swallowed.”

MarkTen, a leading brand in the U.S. says “nicotine can increase blood pressure and cause dizziness, nausea and stomach pain.”

Altria, the parent company of MarkTen which makes Marlboro cigarettes said that there is no warning in electronic cigarettes in U.S.

The health warning produced by Altaria on electronic cigarette is 116 words long and is far longer than the traditional cigarettes.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco kills almost 6 million people each year.

E-cigarettes have been introduced in 2006, since then smokers in order to get over their smoking habit are moving towards e-cigarettes.

Big tobacco companies say that they are pushing for firm control on e-cigarettes is not to hurt smaller competitors.

“Our stated goal is to get to e-vapor leadership, to have the strongest brands in the marketplace; I don’t know how they run their businesses and what it would cost them to meet those requirements.” Said the Altria spokesman

Late 1990s, big companies led a campaign for cigarettes to be regulates by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The small companies say that this is the tactic which they played to drive away small competitors.
