Study Finds That Tobacco Companies Changed Design Of Cigarettes Without Alerting Smokers
As President Obama prepares to sign a bill giving the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight of the tobacco industry, a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers shows that tobacco manufacturers have continually changed the ingredients and the design of their cigarettes over time, even if those changes have exceeded acceptable product variance guidelines. The result, say the researchers, is that consumers who buy the same brand of product are not made aware of how that product has been altered and what effect those alterations might have on their levels of addiction or harm.

"Being Gay Is Only Part Of Who You Are" Is The Message At Relaunched LGBT Youth Group In Telford And Shropshire

To mark the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) on 17 May, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth group in Telford and Shropshire is calling for local people to be aware that "Being gay is only part of who you are". The group chose this slogan to put across the message that LGBT people should not be defined by their sexuality alone, but by who they are as individuals. The I-mix group, run by HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), will be distributing posters and flyers across the region to encourage LGBT young people interested in joining to get in touch. I-mix provides a safe, non-judgmental space for young people aged between 13 and 21 to socialise and explore issues around sexuality. The group, which meets in Telford once a week, is run by CRB checked, qualified youth workers and volunteers who provide advice, guidance and support on a range of subjects, including safer sex, drug and alcohol awareness, and relationships. I-mix also regularly networks with other LGBT groups across the UK, arranging social activities and events, such as trips to the theatre, cinema, and theme parks. Lotte Hakeman, Senior Practitioner for THT in Telford, said: "We know first-hand that homophobia continues to be a problem for LGBT people in the region, and that young people are particularly badly affected. I-mix provides a great opportunity for these youngsters to meet others in a similar situation, which in turn can give them greater confidence about their own sexuality. The group is always very welcoming to new members, so we"d encourage anyone who might be interested in coming along to get in touch." Terrence Higgins Trust
