World Health Organization (WHO) selects "Tobacco industry intervention" as a major theme on the No Tobacco Day which falls every year on May 31, 2012 with the headline "Stop Tobacco Industry Interference".

As reported by the WHO in its official website on Thursday (5/31/2012), which conducted the campaign this year will focus on efforts against tobacco industry interference that do not matter and the more aggressive the agreement, called the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control ( WHO FCTC).WHO FCTC protocol goal is to control trade in cigarettes in order not to interfere with public health. Protocols that protect health policy from tobacco industry influence, setting prices and cigarette excise tax to reduce demand, protect citizens from secondhand smoke contamination in indoor areas and public transport, packaging and labeling of cigarettes, as well as the implementation of bans on advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of cigarettes.

WHO-FCTC has been signed by 172 countries and cover 90 percent of the world. But until recently, Indonesia and Zimbabwe is a country that has not ratified the FCTC. Therefore, Indonesia has not followed the international standards in tobacco control.

There are at least four indicators as well as tobacco control strategy, which is the first stop advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of tobacco industry. Second, the ban on smoking in public areas. Third, health warnings on cigarette packs, and the fourth, an increase in cigarette prices that are not easily purchased.Tobacco addiction and disease have caused considerable loss of life. Currently, each year an estimated 6 million people worldwide died from tobacco and more than 600,000 of whom were nonsmokers. If not controlled, cigarettes will kill 8 million people in 2030, where about 80 percent are smokers who live in poor countries.

As more and more countries are trying to comply with the obligations contained in the FCTC agreement, the tobacco industry was exerting all his strength to stop him. For example, as a way to stop the policy of pictorial warnings on cigarette packs, they sued the state by reason of violation of a bilateral investment treaty. The tobacco industry claims pictorial warnings on cigarette packs will reduce the appearance of their brands is legal.

On the other hand, the tobacco industry also continues to fight on other fields, especially with regard to a policy banning smoking in public spaces as well as regulation of advertising restrictions.No Tobacco Day 2012 focused on educating the decision makers and the general public about tobacco industry tactics in fighting the tobacco industry restrictions on movement. WHO will also continue to remind countries to fight the tobacco industry interference in tobacco control efforts.

2. Hemokromatosis
The disease is caused by a genetic disorder that causes the intestine to absorb too much iron so that the levels are excessive. Excess iron is going into the blood flow and accumulate in certain organs, especially the liver.

A study broke the rumor that had been widespread about the high risk of brain cancer from mobile phone signals. Studies conducted by scientists of University of Manchester found that the radio frequencies issued cell phone or mobile phone does not increase the risk of cancer significantly.

The researchers used the public data available in the UK national statistical offices to see the high trend of brain cancer diagnosed in Britain in the period 1998 to 2007.

The study was published in the journal Biolectromagnetics say that there are no statistics that show a significant increase of cancer in both men and women in nine-year period.

"Mobile users in the UK and other countries increased sharply since the 1990s era where mobile phones were first introduced," said head researcher Dr. Frank de Vocht, who also serves as an expert on labor and environmental health at the University of Manchester.

"However, there is controversy that said radio frequency of the phone increases the risk of brain cancer. Our findings indicate that the causal relationship between mobile phones and cancer is unlikely, because there was no evidence of increased brain cancer patients are significantly since the phone was introduced up to now," he said.

Dr. de Vocht said that there is no plausible biological mechanism to explain the radio waves can damage our genes directly, thus causing the cells become cancerous. Supposedly, if the rumors are true, then there will be growth of brain cancer significantly during the year 1998-2007 compared to previous years.

The team which also includes researchers from the Institute of Occupational Medicine of Edinburgh (Scotland) and Drexel University of Philadelphia (USA) found that an increase in small cancers of the temporal lobe 0.6 cases per 100 thousand people, or 31 cases per year increase in population 52 million.
