Global tobacco firm Philip Morris said it is suing the Australian government over a new law requiring all cigarettes to be sold in plain packages. “We are left with no option,” Philip Morris Asia (PMA) spokesperson Anne Edwards said.
“The government has passed this legislation despite being unable to demonstrate that it will be effective at reducing smoking and has ignored the widespread concerns raised in Australia and internationally regarding the serious legal issues associated with plain packaging.” Under the ground-breaking law, all tobacco products sold in Australia will need to be in plain packaging from December1, 2012. Cigarettes will be sold in drab, olive-brown packets with large, graphic health warnings.

Women who get several months’ worth of birth control pills at once are more likely to stick with the contraceptive than those who get a shorter-term supply, a new clinical trial suggests. As it stands, private and public health insurance plans in the U.S. generally limit how many months’ worth of birth control pills can be prescribed at a time. The practice was established years ago, when there were concerns about the Pill causing certain health problems, including high blood pressure.
The idea was that having women make more doctor visits could help in catching any ill effects. But even now that those concerns have been eased, the restriction on Pill prescriptions remains. And studies suggest that it’s a barrier to women continuing with birth control pills; researchers have found that “running out of pills” is one of the most common reasons women cite for giving up the Pill.

The substance, likened by victims to napalm, sticks to the skin and is difficult to extinguish.
Federal officials are aware of at least 65 accidents related to the gel products, including two deaths from a product previously recalled, and 34 hospitalizations. Victims suffered second and third degree burns to the face, chest, hands, arms, and legs, according to the CPSC.

Global production of seasonal flu vaccine is expected to double to 1.7 billion doses by 2015, with 11 new manufacturers coming onstream in developing countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday. If a new influenza pandemic erupts, the world’s projected 37 vaccine makers could potentially triple their annual production of trivalent seasonal vaccine to make 5.4 billion doses of pandemic vaccine, the United Nations agency said.
But the actual amount would depend on the yield of the virus grown in the egg — disappointingly low for H1N1 — and how much adjuvant — which stretches the active ingredient — is used in pandemic vaccine, experts said.
