1)…….Nicotine is as heroin and cocaine, and cigarettes should be regarded as nicotine-delivery

systems comparable to a needle and syringe, the Royal College of Physicians said yesterday.

2)……..An authority is needed to counter the marketing strategies of the tobacco companies
and ensure nicotine is subject to the same controls as any other drug, the college said. All doctors
should recognize nicotine addiction as a priority for treatment and the Government should ensure
that there is universal access to help people to give up the smoking habit, with cheap or free
nicotine substitutes.
 3)………Almost 40 years after the college identified smoking as the cause of lung cancer in a
landmark report in 1962, it called for nicotine addiction to become a “major health priority in
Britain”. In a new report, Nicotine Addiction in Britain, it says recognition of the central role
played by the drug is crucial to helping more smokers give up.

4)……….The report highlights the imbalance between the “unparalleled freedom” enjoyed by
the tobacco companies to market their products and the tight controls on nicotine replacements
such as patches and gum, which are treated as medicinal drugs and are subject to special
regulation by the Medicines Control Agency.

5)………. One requirement for regulation was over the promotion of low-tar cigarettes as a
healthier alternative. Research shows that smokers compensate for the lower nicotine and tar and
smoke more cigarettes or inhale more deeply to get the same experience.
