Download A Public Choice Analysis of Tobacco Legislation and Litigation Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This thesis examines the public choice issues surrounding the ongoing tobacco controversy. From a standard public interest story, the arguments against tobacco suggest the need for a total ban of the product; yet that was never seriously proposed. Thus this thesis seeks to apply public choice principles in search of a more realistic understanding of the actions surrounding tobacco. Various public choice principles are analyzed including interest group behavior, bureaucracy, and rent seeking. However, the rent extraction model of political extortion was examined in depth, and tested empirically using event study methodology. Using stock market data from 1997 and 1998, during the period of the national tobacco settlement discussions, the author found the evidence supported the rent extraction theory: wealth was extracted in exchange for no action against the industry. This model of political extortion can be extended to assess the role of the class action lawsuit: is it a tool of legal extortion? One interesting aspect of class action lawsuits is the high percentage that do not go to trial, but are settled out of court. This is especially true for securities class action lawsuits. The author gathered data on thirty securities class action lawsuits, and performed event studies to assess the validity of extending the rent extraction model to legal extortion. The data strongly supported this extension. One could look at the actions surrounding the tobacco issue as simply changing claims to the property rights of the tobacco industry and smokers. The author examined several theories of property rights and the process of change. A historical review of tobacco- related actions was undertaken, with the analysis supporting the proposition that changing property rights occur as a process of conflict over scarcity, with public opinion changes leading political entrepreneurs to force change in existing property rights structures.

Download The Proposed Tobacco Settlement: Issues from a Federal Perspective Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Last year, representatives of five major tobacco companies and a group of state attorneys general reached an agreement that, if enacted, could dramatically change the ways in which tobacco is marketed, sold, and consumed in the United States. That settlement would impose large payments on the tobacco industry, strengthen regulatory controls, and expand public health initiatives to reduce cigarette smoking. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper-prepared at the request of the Assistant Majority Leader of the Senate--examines the settlement's potential impacts on consumers and the industry. The reduction in cigarette consumption and the amount of payments by the industry are estimated under various assumptions regarding increases in the price of cigarettes and the response by smokers to those price hikes.

Download Ending the Tobacco Problem Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The nation has made tremendous progress in reducing tobacco use during the past 40 years. Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.

The story of tobacco’s fortunes seems simple: science triumphed over addiction and profit. Yet the reality is more complicated—and more political. Historically it was not just bad habits but also the state that lifted the tobacco industry. What brought about change was not medical advice but organized pressure: a movement for nonsmoker’s rights.
