WHO: Cigarettes are like
drugs
GENEVA (AP) - Cigarettes should be treated as a drug and subject
to the same rules that apply to other forms of nicotine, such as
patches and chewing gum, the World Health Organization chief said
Tuesday. "A cigarette is a euphemism for a cleverly crafted
product that delivers just the right amount of nicotine to keep
its user addicted for life before killing the person," WHO
director-general Gro Harlem Brundtland told a meeting of the
International Conference of Drug Regulatory Authorities in
Berlin. She said it did not stand to reason that harmful nicotine
in cigarettes was sold freely, while prescriptions were needed
for therapeutic nicotine sold as a pharmaceutical.
Side effects
limiting chemotherapy
WASHINGTON (AP) - Side effects may prevent up to one-fifth of
breast cancer patients from getting the full-strength dose of
chemotherapy needed for their best chance of survival, says a
study of the medical records of 15,000 patients. Doctors
prescribe the right amount, but may lower the dose mid-treatment
or postpone chemotherapy sessions when women suffer serious side
effects, the research found. The findings may surprise doctors
unaware that some efforts to ease side effects could have a
larger impact. Switching to a newer combination of chemotherapy
drugs could give patients a better chance at tolerating the full
dose, contends Dr. Garrett A. Smith of the University of
California, San Francisco, whose patients were among those the
study analyzed.
