| Ireland
Considers Vaccinating Against
Drug Addiction |
 |
The
Irish government is being asked
to consider a radical approach
to fighting addiction: vaccinating
children against future heroin,
cocaine, and nicotine misuse.
The
program would be similar to
past nationwide vaccination
programs for measles, mumps,
and rubella.
“People
could be vaccinated against
drugs at birth as you would
against measles. You could say
cocaine is more dangerous than
measles, for example.
|
It is important that there is
a debate on this issue. This is
a huge topic- addiction and smoking
are major causes of premature
death,” said committee member DavitNutt,
a leading government drugs adviser.
Drug vaccinations are currently
in development by pharmaceutical
companies and could be on the
marked within two years.

Brazilian
Woman Turns in 1,300 Guns
Under
Brazil’s new guns-for-money
disarmament program, a Sao Paulo
woman turned in 1,300 firearms
and received $65,000.
The woman,
who said her deceased father
was a gun collector, turned
in a collection of weapons that
ranged from muskets to mortar
shells.
Since
the program began on July 15,
police have received more than
5,362 million weapons.
|
 |
Under
the program, owners receive $100
for each gun they turn in, whether
licensed or illegal.
The goal of the gun buyback is
to reduce firearm availability/
Brazil has one of the worlds highest
murder rates.

| Sweden
Hosts World Cup for Homeless |
 |
Twenty-eight
countries will be participating
in the second annual soccer Homeless
World Cup, an event aimed at raising
awareness of the problems facing
homeless people. “The
World Cup should cast light
on the problems of the homeless
and their misery,” said
organizer Bernhard Wolf of Austria.
“It is also pure therapy
for those taking part, because
football [soccer] has a magic
effect.” |
| The
games, which will be played in
Gothenburg, Sweden, feature 300
players, several of whom had their
lives put back in track through
agencies that helped them find
housing, treatment for alcohol
and other drug addiction, and
job training. The United States,
Brazil, and Namibia are among
the countries participating
this year. Next year’s
tournament is slated to be held
in New York.

Russia
Bans Prime-Time Alcohol Ads
Seeking
to protect children from alcoholism,
the Russia legislature has banned
alcohol ads from television between
the hours of 10 A.M and 7 P.M.
The
move comes amid reports that
22,000 Russians under the age
of 14 are addicted to alcohol.
The legislation also will bar
alcohol ads featuring people,
animals, or cartoon figures,
as well as ads that suggest
that drinking will help consumers
reach goals, improve health
or mental capacity, or slake
thirst. |
 |
Per-capita
beer consumption in Russia has
rise dramatically in recent years,
from 37 liters annually in 1999
to 51 liters in 2003. Brewers
have objected to the ad ban, even
as they insist they don’t
want to sell beer to children
under 18.

| Guns
from Around the World Used to
Make Peace Fountain |
 |
Firearms
used in serious crimes throughout
the world will now be used to
build a peace fountain in the
United States. The
United Kingdom recently sent
more than 2,000 guns used by
criminals to Ohio, where they
will be melted for the fountain.
“This method of destroying
firearms, once they are not
required for court, is not unusual
for us, and not normally something
we publicize for security reasons,”
said Greater Manchester Police
Deputy Chief Constable Alan
Green. “However, this
is an exception as it is great
that something good can come
out of something evil.”
The fountain, scheduled to be
completed by September 11, 2006,
will serve as a symbol for peace.

| Smoking
by Canadian Teens Declines Dramatically |
|
Health Canada survey finds that
in the past five years, smoking
among Canadian teenagers has dropped
significantly. Murray Kaiserman,
director of surveillance evaluation
for Health Canada’s Tobacco
Control Program credited the
decline in teen smoking to the
government’s four year
Federal Tobacco Strategy. The
effort features mass-media campaigns
and school-based programs.
Other initiatives given credit
for the decline include higher
cigarette takes, restrictions
on smoking, and the placement
of graphic visual warnings on
cigarette packages. |
 |
| “We’re
seeing a new generation of Canadian
youth who view smoking very differently
than their parents did. They don’t
view smoking as a socially acceptable
phenomenon,” Kaiserman said.
“We have fewer youth smoking
and a greater number of adults
quitting and at earlier ages.
We’re satisfied that our
efforts have been working.”
