Cancer
Nearly everyone knows that smoking can cause lung cancer, but few people realize it is also a risk factor for many other kinds of cancer as well, including cancer of the mouth, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and some leukemias.

Lung Diseases
Pneumonia has been included in the list of diseases caused by smoking since 2004. Smoking also increases your risk of getting lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. These diseases are grouped together under the term COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD causes chronic illness and disability, and worsens over time - sometimes becoming fatal. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis can be found in people as young as 40, but are more commonly diagnosed later in life, when the symptoms are more severe. Long term smokers have the highest risk of developing severe COPD.

Heart Attacks, Strokes, and Blood Vessel Diseases
Smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attacks as are non-smokers. And smoking is a major risk factor for peripheral vascular disease, a narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood to the leg and arm muscles. Smoking also affects the walls of the vessels that carry blood to the brain (carotid arteries), which can cause strokes. Men who smoke are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction (impotence) because of blood vessel disease.

Blindness and Other Problems
Smoking also causes premature wrinkling of the skin, bad breath, bad smelling clothes and hair, yellow fingernails, and an increased risk of macular degeneration, one of the most common causes of blindness in the elderly.

Special Risks to Women and Babies
Women have some unique risks linked to smoking. Women over 35 who smoke and use birth control pills have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots of the legs. Women who smoke are more likely to have a miscarriage or a lower birth-weight baby. Low birth-weight babies are more likely to die or have learning and physical problems.

Lost year of the live due to Smoking
Based on data collected in the late 1990s, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that adult male smokers lost an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers lost 14.5 years of life because of smoking. And given the diseases that smoking can cause, it can steal your quality of life long before you die. Smoking-related illness can limit your activities by making it harder to breathe, get around, work, or play.

The reason why it's so hard to quick smoking:

Nicotine
Nicotine is a drug found naturally in tobacco. It is highly addictive -- as addictive as heroin or cocaine. Over time, a person becomes physically and emotionally addicted to, or dependent on, nicotine. Studies have shown that smokers must deal with both the physical and psychological dependence to be successful at quitting and staying quit.

When you inhale smoke, nicotine is carried deep into your lungs, where it is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and carried throughout your body. Nicotine affects many parts of the body, including your heart and blood vessels, your hormonal system, your metabolism, and your brain. Nicotine can be found in breast milk and even in cervix mucus secretions of smokers. During pregnancy, nicotine freely crosses the placenta and has been found in amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord blood of newborn infants.

Nicotine produces pleasant feelings that make the smoker want to smoke more. It also acts as a kind of depressant by interfering with the flow of information between nerve cells. As the nervous system adapts to nicotine, smokers tend to increase the number of cigarettes they smoke, and therefore the amount of nicotine in their blood. After a while, the smoker develops a tolerance to the drug, which leads to an increase in smoking over time. Over time, the smoker reaches a certain nicotine level and then smokes to maintain this level of nicotine. In fact, nicotine, when inhaled in cigarette smoke, reaches the brain faster than drugs that enter the body intravenously (IV).

When smokers try to cut back or quit, the lack of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body reacts to the absence of nicotine. Mentally, the smoker is faced with giving up a habit, which calls for a major change in behavior. Both must be addressed in order for the quitting process to work.

If a person has smoked regularly for a few weeks or longer and suddenly stops using tobacco or greatly reduces the amount smoked, they will have withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms usually start within a few hours of the last cigarette and peak about 2 to 3 days later. Withdrawal symptoms can last for a few days to up to several weeks. Withdrawal symptoms can include any of the following:

- Dizziness (which may only last 1-2 days after quitting)
- Depression
- Feelings of frustration, impatience, and anger
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Sleep disturbances, including having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and having bad dreams or even nightmares
- Trouble concentrating
- Restlessness
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Increased appetite

These symptoms can lead the smoker to start smoking cigarettes again to boost blood levels of nicotine back to a level where there are no symptoms. Smoking also makes your body get rid of certain drugs faster than usual. When you quit smoking, it changes the way your body handles these medicines. Ask your doctor if any medicines you take regularly need to be checked or changed after you quit.

For the Top 30 Beer Brand Performers ranking, IRI analyzed volume growth, share of segment trends, everyday base pricing, and incremental sales growth in 2006 versus 2005 to determine the brands with the strongest performance in the beer industry.

“The outstanding group of beer brands in this year’s top 30 ranking is a great representation of the big trends in 2006,” said Bump Williams, general manager, IRI Beer, Wine and Spirits Practice. “Consumers are definitely willing to pay premium price for their favorite brands, with 21 of the top 30 performers being high-end brands that include 14 imports, 6 craft brands, and one malternative. Manufacturers are also meeting the ever-changing tastes of consumer demands with their new product innovations. The key now is getting the proper amount of shelf space and distribution in the right stores to support these power brands.”

Notables, such as Bud Light, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Coors Light are on the list, but the coveted No. 1 brand goes to import beer, Newcastle Brown Ale, brewed by Scottish and Newcastle Importers. Import beer brands have a very strong showing in the ranking this year with such brands as Modelo Especial, Stella Artois, Corona Light, Guinness Draught and Beck's. Craft beers also remain popular with Samuel Adams Seasonal, New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Shiner Bock among the brands making the list. Of course, domestic brands will never go out of style. Busch Light, Natural Light, Yuengling Traditional Lager and Steel Reserve High Gravity Lager remain strong brands.

The Top 30 Beer Brand Performers ranking is designed to highlight the brands that experienced significant year-over-year growth across total U.S. supermarkets in 2006. In addition to looking at volume and dollar sales, IRI also examined pricing, share growth and incremental volume and dollar contribution.

Minimum of 500,000 cases sold in total U.S. supermarkets for 52 weeks ending Dec. 31, 2006

“To have Newcastle Brown Ale be ranked as the top-performing brand in supermarkets by IRI is just an unbelievable achievement,” said Kevin Moodie, president, Scottish & Newcastle Importers, Co. “The off-trade, specifically chain grocery, has exploded for us in the past few years and for the first time is now more than 50 percent of our business. While our company historically has been on-trade led, selling pints in U.K. pubs for the past 250 years, the off-trade now commands so much of our focus and attention. It's an incredibly competitive environment, and we're immensely proud that for the past several years we've enjoyed the success we have and for 2006 were deemed the No. 1 performer in the sector.”

Providing forward-looking insight about key brands to watch in the year ahead, IRI also announced the following Top 15 New Beer Brands in 2006:

New brands did not report any IRI sales data prior to Jan. 2, 2006

“We saw a number of exciting new product introductions in 2006,” said Bump Williams, “Malternatives, due almost exclusively by new flavors, are definitely hitting the right note with consumers and captured eight spots in our ranking. A new segment—premium malt cocktails—is also doing well by capturing two spots.”

Anyway, back to Vodka. Vodka is defined as a neutral spirit devoid of any distinct characteristics such as odour, taste or colour. Considering the above definition all vodkas should be the same and the brand shouldn't matter. This is true to some extent, in the sense, that the final product of all the brands are more or less similar to each other and while mixed in a blood mary, there is little or no discernable distinction between them. However, if you plan to have them as shots, on the rocks or in a martini, then you are well advised to consume a premium brand.

There are a lot of vodkas out there. And each one is trying to catch your eye, with refreshing marketing, stylish bottles and happening events. This is because of the above noted fact, that the product is more or less same, and hence, marketing plays a big role.

Okay. Now since we are clear about what vodka actually is, lets look at some of the brands. (If you are interested more about the history and other nuances of Vodka, read my article 'All About Vodka') I am not affiliated with any of them and I have no particular favourite among them either. So be assured that whatever is said herein is completely unbiased and in the best interest of vodka.

Lets start with the world best selling vodka. Remember, the phrase is 'best selling', it doesn't make the best vodka on the planet. I guess every vodka drinker knows it. Smirnoff. Smirnoff was the first American brand of Vodka, which was bought over from Vladimir Smirnov of Russia. The Smirnoff No. 21 is the most widely sold vodka in the world and is an extremely good example of classical vodka. It has little discerning character, and does not pamper you with slight flavours or a mellow follow through. If you don't like to think too much and are on a budget, this is the vodka to go for. Have it chilled and experience the Russian in you. Smirnoff also comes in blue and black labels which are of increasing strength. It has also launched numerous flavoured vodkas such as Green Apple Twist, Citrus Twist, Lemon Twist and many more. They are great to have in martinis and light cocktails.

Next up, Grey Groose. Now this is on that has had its fair share of Hollywood exposure. You can hear almost every celebrity asking for a Grey Goose Martini. This vodka brand is truly a marketing brilliance. Winter wheat being distilled with natural spring waters in a French Distillery is surely going to make some heads turn. It is this approach to vodka, that has made Grey Goose a brand to reckon with. But, nothing to be taken away, this is really great vodka to have in your martini. It comes in three flavours: L'Orange, Le Citron and La Vanille. The Citron is great to have in a Lemon Drop Martini.

The third among the most marketed brands is Absolut. This Swedish vodka has the one of the largest number of flavoured vodkas in the market. Its global marketing strategy seems to have paid off in recent times and is considered to be a truly superior vodka in many places in the world. Its neutral variety comes in blue and red labels with increasing strengths. The red bottle (50 % vol) is a really smooth spirit with almost no discernarable taste of its own. The blue bottle mixes extremely well with almost all mixers and makes it great in most cocktails. The flavoured varieties too are very good and for the adventurous there are no dearth of varieties to try from.

Now, lets move onto the lesser marketed, premium brands. I'll start with what most vodka drinkers and experts consider a truly great and 'almost perfect' vodka. Stolichnaya is what it claims to be "a true Russian vodka". It was founded at the Cristill Distillery in Moscow and is now manufactured in ex-Soviet republics (Kazakhstan and Ukraine). It is quadruple distilled though quartz sand and finally passed through a woven cloth, to give you a vodka free from any flavours or odours. This one is great to have on the rocks.

Next on the list is Belvedere. This is a Polish vodka. However, unlike other Polish vodka this one is made from rye rather than potatoes. The experts are always confused about this one. Many hold it in high regard, while others suggest that the other brands mentioned here, are far superior. For the record, I like it. Still one could argue that with so many different brands with better marketing and “brand appeal”, this vodka still leaves you with something to desire more from.

Our last entry on this discussion would be Belvedere's sibling: Chopin. However, unlike its sibling, Chopin is made from potatoes; the way authentic polish vodka should. Even though for many years, potato based vodkas have been frowned upon by Russians as inferior, the truth lies in the fact, that with the right distillery, whatever be the ingredient, you can produce superior vodka. And Chopin is a great example of the same. This vodka is crisp and has a sweet and sour green apple tinge to it. It's the only potato based vodka that is held with such high regard and just for this sake, I urge you to try it at least once. Your Polish experience will definitely be worth it.

There are some other lovely vodka brands as well. Vox, Ketel One, Three Olives and Jewel Of Russia are just a few to name. Vodka, like other spirits, is full of tradition and variety. And to cover all would be an arduous if not impossible task. I hope not to offend anybody with my views. They are mine and others may not agree. As I always maintain wines and spirits are very personal in nature. The best wine or spirit is always the one you enjoy most! With that I humbly conclude this article. Hope you enjoyed it, as much as I need writing it.

The Product
------------------
The Royal Stag (RS) is one of the species of deer that is famous for its antlers soaring over all other species of deer. Like the deer this blended whiskey has emerged as one of the major players in Indian alcoholic beverage market.

It is a blend of the best scotches malts from Scotland and Indian grain spirits. ROYAL STAG Deluxe whisky is a full-bodied whisky. I like Royal Stag’s exceptional smoothness, taste and its malty-flavor. As per their advertisement they do not use any artificial colour and flavour.

This is one of the very few blended Indian whiskey in this category that can be taken on the rocks. Some of my friends even changed their loyalty from RC to RS. Its consistent smoothness and flavour uplifted its status in the market.

It is available in different packs. 750 ml bottle comes with pilfer proof dispenser. Only 750 ml bottle is packed in good card board box

-----------------------
Market Scenario
----------------------
Royal Stag is the leading whisky in the Indian market. It is placed in prestige category and priced to target the common man. As per their website it enjoys 27% of Indian market. Reasons behind its fast growth are Price and Quality. It is a Herculean task to match its price and quality. It seems to be the fastest growing brand in Indian market. Annual sales of Seagram’s Royal Stag whisky have crossed over one million cases.

Royal Stag is the only second brand from a multinational liquor house, after Green Label whisky, to achieve the `Millionaire’ status in Indian market for whiskey. It has made rapid progress in the Indian market in the last five years and pulled up its sales from around four lakh cases in 1997 to the present ‘Millionaire’ status. I do not have the exact numbers but seems to be near two million cases per year.

Seagram is now part of Pernod Ricard due to worldwide takeover. Pernod Ricard produces and distributes many prestigious brands in many categories of alcoholic beverage. Some of world famous brands of this group are: Ricard, Seagram’s Gin, Chivas Regal, Royal Salute, Larios, Clan Campbell, Havana Club, Jameson, Martell, Ramazzotti, Wyborowa, Wild Turkey, Jacob’s Creek and Wyndham Estate. These brands are either global leader or one of the top selling brands of a select market. This list is from their website, I have tested only the highlighted one.

Pernod Ricard group is marketing more than 100 famous brands around the globe. Royal Stag is one such brand being marketed in India and Nepal as per requirement of these markets.

----------------------
Serving Options
----------------------
Pour Royal Stag over ice in a whisky tumbler – On-the-Rocks is my choice.

Indian Stag - Pour a measure of Royal Stag over ice in a whisky tumbler and add soda water or just plain water.

Like to try Stag Cola? Pour 60 ml of RS in a Collins glass and top up with cola if you are not scared by those reviews on cola.

Mountain Stag – Just chill it in an icebox and serve.

Milky Mischief
Measure: 60 ml RS + 60 ml Milk + 1 or 2 Sugar Cube

Shake all above in a mixer with ice. Strain and pour into a Collins glass and garnish with nutmeg.

Royal Lemonade
Measure: 60 ml RS + 30 ml lemon juice + 1 tsp fine sugar

Mix whiskey, lemon juice and fine sugar in a shaker with ice. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. Top up with club soda and dress up with cherry.

Variation – use lemonade instead of lemon and club soda

Highland (Scotland) saying

One whisky is all right; two is too much; three is too few.

There are two rules for drinking whisky -

Rule 1 - Never take whisky without water, and

Rule 2 - Never take water without whisky

I do not follow any one of these rules. Choice is yours. My rules are

1. Enjoy the flavour and smoothness of the drink the way you want.
2. Never over drink. One should know the limit and drink within limit
3. Never drive after a drink
4. Be decent
5. Take care of others

Enjoy Weekend

I do remember a funny incident happening in a Paris wine store owned by a typical middle-aged man. I walked in and asked him a bottle of viognier. The man looked at me puzzled for a few seconds and answered: "You mean, a bottle of Condrieu?" My turn to be puzzled: "Viognier is grown in other parts of the world besides Condrieu. I drank a very good viognier in California." I'll spare you the long discussion on the merits of viognier from other origins besides Condrieu!

What could be the explanation? Without being really "new" consumers, women are newer in wine buying than men. They might have a different wine culture acquired through word of mouth and tasting: women are known for their practical mind and fine tasting buds! But certainly closer to reality is the fact that varietals are easier to understand and master than origins. After all Cabernet is available in many places worldwide but will be so different from one place to an other. That's what makes international drinking so fascinating: I love to buy 3 or 4 bottles of wine from different origins but of the same grape to taste and compare the differences. It's like drinking the culture of an other country and traveling in your living room!

Does it mean varietal wines are a new international trend? It could be. I saw a few days ago in a French supermarket a "collection" of varietal wines in half bottles - as if the wine maker wasn't quite sure of his wine "saleability". Price was reasonable and quality acceptable. Did he understand the future of the wine industry or is he surfing on a new trend? Europeans are always slow to catch up in the new trends: for 20 years, the "New World" sold varietal wines but is now working on analyzing the "terroir" of their wines. In California, Gallo created his line of Sonoma wines at a much higher price than his mass market brands, explaining to consumers that the Sonoma wines are crafted in the respect of their origins. Europeans are now jumping in the "varietal wagon" that is so loose in the New World and rejecting what was their signature for centuries, the origin of the wine. Who is right? Who is wrong? Future will tell us!

The reason why it's so hard to quick smoking:

Nicotine

Studies have shown that smokers must deal with both the physical and psychological dependence to be successful at quitting and staying quit.

Over time, the smoker reaches a certain nicotine level and then smokes to maintain this level of nicotine. In fact, nicotine, when inhaled in cigarette smoke, reaches the brain faster than drugs that enter the body intravenously (IV).

Withdrawal symptoms can include any of the following:

- Dizziness (which may only last 1-2 days after quitting)
- Depression
- Feelings of frustration, impatience, and anger
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Sleep disturbances, including having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and having bad dreams or even nightmares
- Trouble concentrating
- Restlessness
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Increased appetite

These symptoms can lead the smoker to start smoking cigarettes again to boost blood levels of nicotine back to a level where there are no symptoms. Smoking also makes your body get rid of certain drugs faster than usual. When you quit smoking, it changes the way your body handles these medicines. Ask your doctor if any medicines you take regularly need to be checked or changed after you quit.

Reasons to quit smoking
Health concerns usually top the list of reasons people give for quitting smoking. This is a very real concern: About half of all smokers who continue to smoke will end up dying from a smoking-related illness.

Cancer
Nearly everyone knows that smoking can cause lung cancer, but few people realize it is also a risk factor for many other kinds of cancer as well, including cancer of the mouth, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and some leukemias.

Smoking also affects the walls of the vessels that carry blood to the brain (carotid arteries), which can cause strokes. Men who smoke are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction (impotence) because of blood vessel disease.

Blindness and Other Problems
Smoking also causes premature wrinkling of the skin, bad breath, bad smelling clothes and hair, yellow fingernails, and an increased risk of macular degeneration, one of the most common causes of blindness in the elderly.

Special Risks to Women and Babies
Women have some unique risks linked to smoking. Women over 35 who smoke and use birth control pills have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots of the legs. Women who smoke are more likely to have a miscarriage or a lower birth-weight baby. Low birth-weight babies are more likely to die or have learning and physical problems.

Lost year of the live due to Smoking
Based on data collected in the late 1990s, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that adult male smokers lost an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers lost 14.5 years of life because of smoking. And given the diseases that smoking can cause, it can steal your quality of life long before you die. Smoking-related illness can limit your activities by making it harder to breathe, get around, work, or play.

Why I Quit
No matter how old you are or how long you've smoked, quitting will help you live longer. People who stop smoking before age 50 cut their risk of dying in the next 15 years in half compared with those who continue to smoke. Ex-smokers enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer illnesses from cold and flu viruses, better self-reported health, and reduced rates of bronchitis and pneumonia.

How to Quick Smoking
Kicking the tobacco habit offers some benefits that you'll notice right away and some that will develop over time. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life a great deal.

A great method with a safe Homeopathic Spray for your "Private Assistant" plus support forum facility additional to help battle and quick smoking faster and powerful.

And the final result for quick smoking:
- Former smokers live longer than people who keep smoking

- Women who stop smoking before pregnancy or during the first 3 to 4 months of pregnancy reduce their risk of having a low birth-weight baby to that of women who never smoked.
- The health benefits of quitting smoking are far greater than any risks from the small weight gain (usually less than 10 pounds) or any emotional or psychological problems that may follow quitting.

And the Lasting, may be you less respect or don't care about your long live but think again the people around you, friends and family. Your smoke "kill" them without unknowing!

What happens when you quit smoking

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 44.5 million US adults were current smokers in 2006 (the most recent year for which numbers are available). This is 20.8% of all adults (23.9% of men, 18.0% of women) -- more than 1 out of 5 people.

When broken down by race/ethnicity, the numbers were as follows:

Whites 21.9%
African Americans 23.0%
Hispanics 15.2%
American Indians/Alaska Natives 32.4%
Asian Americans 10.4%

The numbers were higher in younger age groups. In 2006, CDC reported almost 24% of those 18 to 44 years old were current smokers, compared to 10.2% in those aged 65 or older.

Nationwide, 22.3% of high school students and 8.1% of middle school students were smoking in 2004. More White and Hispanic students smoked cigarettes.  Can anyone tell me why the highest percentages would among American Indians and native Alaskans?

Listen, as long as you're sitting there wondering who smokes, why don't you, if you smoke check out Smoke Away, or if you don't but have a friend or loved one that smokes, steer them towards Smoke Away? What do you have to lose? Besides that craving to smoke?

There's no way around it. Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body. Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. It is also responsible for many other cancers and health problems. These include lung disease, heart and blood vessel disease, stroke and cataracts. Women who smoke have a greater chance of certain pregnancy problems or having a baby die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Your smoke is also bad for other people - they breathe in your smoke secondhand and can get many of the same problems as smokers do.

Quitting smoking can reduce your risk of these problems. The earlier you quit, the greater the health benefit.

Smoking not only makes you get cancer, heart diseases etc., it also makes you look older than you are by developing facial wrinkles. Research studies found that smokers in their 30s look older than the nonsmokers in their 50s, due to facial wrinkles.

Research findings proved that those who had smoked for ten years or more, get ‘smoker’s face’. The characteristics of a smoker’s face are he or she looks older than what actually is. Roughly half of the smokers are found having ‘smoker’s face’ irrespective of age, social class, and estimated lifetime consumption of cigarettes.

How Smoking Causes Aging?

• Smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of skin and cause wrinkles. These skin changes occur only after ten years of smoking and are irreversible.
• Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin. This hindrances blood flow to skin and depletes it of oxygen and important nutrients.
• Smoking also damages elastin and collagen, the fibers that give strength and elasticity to your skin. This causes your skin to sag and wrinkle prematurely.
• Repeated exposure to the heat that comes from burning cigarettes and the facial expressions you make like pursing your lips when inhaling may also contribute to wrinkles.
• Smoking also causes premature thinning and graying of the hair.
• It is found that smokers are twice as likely to become bald like non-smokers.
• Premature graying is also more common in smokers.
• Smoking one cigarette decreases the caliber of blood vessels for up to 90 minutes.
• The skin of a typical pack-a-day smoker deprives of normal flow of oxygen for most of each day.
