Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 – c. April 5, 1994) was an American singer-songwriter, musician and artist, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the grunge band Nirvana.

Cobain formed Nirvana with Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1985 and established it as part of the Seattle music scene, having its debut album Bleach released on the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. After signing with major label DGC Records, the band found breakthrough success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from its second album Nevermind (1991). Following the success of Nevermind, Nirvana was labeled "the flagship band" of Generation X, and Cobain hailed as "the spokesman of a generation". Cobain however was often uncomfortable and frustrated, believing his message and artistic vision to have been misinterpreted by the public, with his personal issues often subject to media attention. He challenged Nirvana's audience with its final studio album In Utero (1993).

During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, illness and depression, his fame and public image, as well as the professional and lifelong personal pressures surrounding himself and his wife, musician Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. The circumstances of his death have become a topic of public fascination and debate. Since their debut, Nirvana, with Cobain as a songwriter, has sold over 25 million albums in the US alone, and over 50 million worldwide.

    Smoking Cigarettes




    Today is World No Tobacco Day. We asked students at St. James Middle School in Johnson City to write their thoughts about tobacco and the influence on kids of celebrities smokers and athletes using cigarettes online.


    Michaela: “Many people are influenced by media pressure. Many kids give in to that pressure. They see someone they think is cool smoking Parliament Cigarettes and think, ‘I want to be like them.’ So they grab a cigarette and start that life-killing habit. The more famous people (smoking), the more likely kids are to smoke.”

    » Hunter: “Media almost endorses smoking. Actors, athletes and musicians smoke, and kids can see that and want to be like their idol. Once you start, smoking is hard to stop and you can die.”

    » Brendan: “Smoking doesn’t just affect the smokers; it affects everyone around them.”

    » Ben: “When baseball players chew tobacco, young kids want to do it because they look up to them.”

    » Nathan: “I think chew in the MLB should be prohibited. I strongly think that if a kid wants to play pro baseball, he will want to be like those already playing and will want to chew.”

    » Clayton: “When they show those people chewing tobacco, it does somewhat influence me to chew tobacco. If you begin to chew, it can turn into a habit.”

    » Andrea: “The media shouldn’t show people using tobacco because it can influence others. If kids see their heroes smoking, they might think it is OK.”

    » Meghan: “Just because stars do it doesn’t mean it’s right. It causes lifelong diseases and death. My grandpa died before I met him from this.”

    » Hunter: “Put warnings before movies that show tobacco or drugs.”

    » Brenna: “Tobacco should be banned from TV shows and movies that kids watch. Smoking has a very bad influence on the kids of the world.”

    » Rachel: “When kids hear singers like Lady Gaga singing about tobacco, they are affected. They will do what they think is cool.”

    » Erin: “Many kids saw Charlie Sheen smoking and using drugs. It’s a bad influence.”

    » Olivia: “Also, seeing advertisements influences kids. Tobacco companies promote their products at kids’ eye level.”

    » Olenka: “Teens are more influenced than anyone else.”

    » Natalie: “Look at that famous actress. She’s beautiful, everyone likes her and she’s smoking. Many people look up to her, strive to be like her. Teens should be aware that to be like a celebrity, they don’t have to smoke.”

    » Sawyer: “Stars and role models will ‘light up,’ kids look up to them and have a 16 percent more chance of smoking. Every time you [smoke], you lose a minute of your life. Smoking costs a lot. I think we’d all rather go to Disney than smoke.”

    » Liam: “If you see your role model smoking a cigarette, don’t follow them!”

    Plain Cigarettes Packets?

    plain cigarettes pack
    The Federal Government wants to stop discount cigarettes companies from putting logos or brands on cigarette packages from mid-next year, after new laws come into force.It also wants to make the dull-green packets feature larger health warnings, including images of diseased gums and blinded eyes.

    BATA spokesman Scott McIntyre says the legislation would unfairly deprive discount cigarettes companies of their intellectual property rights and drive up smoking cigarettes rates."We've taken away our brands and then what's left to compete on?" he said."The price of cigarettes goes down because it's the only competition point left."Cheaper cigarettes more accessible to younger people: smoking cigarettes rates go up."

    Mr McIntyre says the legislation leaves the company with no choice but to defend their intellectual property in court."We're going to see the Government spend millions of taxpayers' dollars fighting this in the courts and then potentially billions of taxpayers' dollars in compensation to the discount cigarettes industry," he said.

    BATA says several countries have considered plain packaging but ultimately rejected the move over legal concerns and fears of a boom in the black market."Plain packaging will also make it easier to sell counterfeit cigarettes because fakes will be harder to spot," Mr McIntyre said."It provides a blueprint for criminals to make illegal cigarettes, as they now have the exact specifications to produce and import them into the country."

    But Professor Mike Daube, president of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health, says the discount cigarettes industry's fierce opposition to the plan is the best evidence it will have an impact."There is a great deal of evidence showing that glossy packs are appealing, they appeal especially to kids," he said."We know if you give kids cigarettes from a plain pack or a glossy pack, they think the ones from a glossy pack taste better even though they're identical."The retailers are trying to defend the product. This product kills one in two regular users - it's already killed close to a million Australians since we've known about the dangers of smoking cigarettes."

    Health Minister Nicola Roxon says the plain packaging should decrease smoking cigarettes related deaths, but Opposition spokesman Peter Dutton says he has not seen proof of this.

    "If she is putting forward a proposal based on hope, I think Australians want to see the evidence," he said."If there is evidence which backs an increase in the excise that brings down smoking cigarettes rates, and certainly that's the advice of the Preventative Health Taskforce that the Minister is in possession of, then let's hear the Government's response into that."

    Mr Dutton says he is not opposed to plain packaging but would not say whether the Opposition will support the legislation.After 60 days of public comment, the legislation will be introduced during the winter sitting of Parliament.Meanwhile, a Central Australian Indigenous health group says better education would have a bigger impact on Aboriginal smoking cigarettes rates than plainly packaged cigarettes.

    More than one in two Indigenous Australians smoke cigarettes, compared with less than one in five non-Indigenous people.The chief executive of the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, Stephanie Bell, says the proposal is welcome, but high school completion rates are a bigger factor.

    "In terms of the impact that has on smoking cigarettes, it actually reduces the uptake of smoking cigarettes by 50 per cent," she said."Just achieving year 12 education has that single impact."

    More Hideous Cigarette Packaging

    Smoking cigarettes rates in Australia have been falling for decades, without Health Minister Nicola Roxon's latest proposal for even more hideous cigarette packaging. In 1945, almost three-quarters of Australian men smoked cigarettes. At the last count, the proportion of Australians aged 14 and over who smoked cigarettes had fallen from 30.5 per cent in 1988 to 16.6 per cent.

    The links between smoking cigarettes, cancer, heart disease and other serious health problems are beyond dispute. Four out of five cigarettes smokers say they would like to stop and the images on cigarette packets are already gruesome. So it is debatable, to say the least, whether ugly, olive-green packaging, uniform typeface for brand names, larger health warnings and more graphic photographs will deter hardcore nicotine addicts, most of whom spend more than $150 a week on their habit and put up with the inconvenience of not being allowed to smoke discount Marlboro cigarettes in most public and many private places. After all, the absence of attractive packaging has sadly done nothing to reduce consumer demand for heroin, marijuana, amphetamines and other illegal drugs.

    The responsibility for personal behaviour, be it drug taking, snacking on junk food, couch-warming, drinking into a stupor or driving like a maniac rests with individuals.

    Ms Roxon, who seems to enjoy the role of Nanny McPhee, should recognise the limits of self-righteous moral posturing. After the 70 per cent tax hike on alcopops in 2009, a cynical revenue-grab dressed up as a measure to deter binge drinking, sales of vodka, bourbon and other spirits soared as young women sought cheaper and stronger alternatives.

    If government policy on smoking cigarettes is driven purely by the need for Australians to give up a harmful habit, why aren't cigarettes, like many other drugs, made illegal or priced out of reach? Paying even more than $15 for a standard packet of 30 might deter more cigarettes smokers than different packaging, although further hikes in excise would disproportionately hurt poorer families among whom smoking cigarettes is more prevalent. Australia's 3.5 million regular cigarette smokers would be wise to seek help to kick the habit. But in a free society, if the people's representatives deem cigarettes should be legal, producers should be allowed to package and market them.

    Discount Cigarettes Industry

    In 1967, as a fresh-faced researcher looking to make an impression in my first real job, I conducted an experiment to assess the frequency of cigarette advertising on television. I was astonished when the study revealed Melburnians were shown at least one cigarette advertisement every 12 minutes. Thankfully, things have come a long way since then, with Australia leading the world in discount cigarettes control initiatives such as banning cigarette advertising, requiring health warnings on cigarette packs and prohibiting smoking cigarettes in pubs and clubs.

    These initiatives have contributed to a dramatic reduction in Australians who smoke cigarettes and those who become seriously ill or die each year from smoking cigarettes related illnesses.

    However, we are facing yet another fight with the discount cigarettes industry, as the federal government prepares to debate legislation on plain packaging of cigarette packs, the draft of which was released yesterday by federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon.Advertisement: Story continues below

    The issue may be new, but the players are the same. Once again, we have a battle on our hands to halt the discount cigarettes industry's relentless quest to entice Australians to risk serious illness and death by beginning, or continuing to, smoke cigarettes.

    Make no mistake: a cigarette pack is more than just a harmless container. As other forms of discount cigarettes advertising have been banned, cigarette packaging has become the industry's primary vehicle for appealing to potential cigarettes smokers, particularly our children. Through the clever application of colour, illustration and design, companies are able to create a point of difference for their carcinogenic products.

    The proposed plain packaging legislation will end this deadly form of promotion and make significant inroads into reducing rates of smoking cigarettes initiation and consumption, thereby saving some of the 15,000-plus lives lost in Australia every year to discount cigarettes.

    While the discount cigarettes industry will have you believe otherwise, the evidence suggests the majority of Victorians support this move. A recent Cancer Council study revealed 73 per cent of Victorians approve of plain packaging for cigarettes. More significantly, 57 per cent of cigarettes smokers approve.

    There is no greater barometer to the likely success of a proposed discount cigarettes control initiative than the response of the discount cigarettes industry. In this case, it has been pouring millions of dollars into fighting these changes, their efforts spearheaded by the Alliance of Australian Retailers, a so-called "peak body" that was created shortly before last year's federal election and largely funded by Philip Morris, British American Tobacco and Imperial Tobacco.

    The discount cigarettes industry's campaign is fronted by retailers who claim the legislation will be disruptive and costly for small business. When then have the big discount cigarettes companies suddenly become so concerned about the plight of small Australian businesses that they have invested over $5 million in this campaign?

    If plain packaging was not effective, why are they spending so much money trying to stop the legislation? The discount cigarettes industry knows that plain packaging has enormous potential to cut smoking cigarettes rates. It also knows the passage of this legislation will send a message to the rest of the world, where almost five million people die each year because of their addiction to discount cigarettes. After all, if plain packaging becomes policy here, it is likely to occur elsewhere and the discount cigarettes industry knows it.

    I commend the Australian government for its courage in tackling this vital public health issue and I urge all members of Parliament to take this opportunity to save the lives of thousands of young Australians by passing this of legislation. It is time to say enough.

    Smoking Cigarettes Banned In Prisons, Florida

    smoking cigarettes
    You can't smoke cigarettes in restaurants or offices in Florida and in six months inmates in state prisons won't be able to smoke cigarettes either. The state spends millions treating inmates for smoking health problems.Prisoners are currently allowed to smoke cigarettes outside, but not in their cells or anywhere else inside. About half of U.S. states ban smoking at prison facilities.

    Florida's Department of Corrections estimates it spends $9 million a year treating inmates for cancer, emphysema and other smoking-related cigarettes health conditions. There are four prisons in Southwest Florida housing about five percent of the state's prison population.That means the state spends roughly $500,000 paying for smoking-related cigarettes health problems at local facilities in DeSoto, Hendry, Glades and Charlotte Counties.

    But banning smoking won't only save taxpayers money, it may also prevent violence."It will make our prisons safer," said prison system spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger. "When you smoke cigarettes, you need a lighter. Lighters can be used as weapons by melting the plastic and putting razor blades inside. When this is used on another inmate, the department still pays for that inmate's health care costs, too."

    Lighters will also be banned under the new rules.In fact, banning lighters will also likely cut down on arson.Last year, inmates started 74 fires in state facilities. Taxpayers pay to fix damage and clean up those messes, as well.

    The Department of Corrections offers programs to help inmates quit smoking and plans to continue to do so.Eventually, the state hopes to save millions on smoking-related cigarettes health costs, but it won't happen overnight. Plessinger says the costs are predicted to fall gradually over time.

    Smoking Cigarettes Ban In City Parks

    smoking cigarettes ban
    Port St. Lucie residents and visitors may soon be breathing a little easier.City officials are considering restrictions on smoking cigarettes in city parks. The only current ban is on actual playing fields at the parks.

    The proposal that may lead to new restrictions was brought to the City Council recently by 17-year-old Marcus Rigg of Treasure Coast High School. As part of his senior project at the school, he presented a petition to the Council signed by 323 people requesting a clear policy on the issue.

    Rigg said, "I played baseball (at Sportsman's Park) for three years and I would sit in the dugout and smoke cigarettes would be consuming me. When people are smoking cigarettes around young athletes who are trying to make something of themselves, you're crippling them. The smoke cigarettes is hurting them."

    Following his address to the Council, Vice Mayor Linda Bartz said, "His presentation was right on. We do need to do something and we need to set an example for the children."The long-term effects of secondhand cigarettes smoke can be debated, but it's hard to debate the fact that the cigarettes smoke can be annoying for others and is unhealthy at least in its short-term effect. Permitting smoking cigarettes throughout a city park with virtually no restrictions is unfair to non cigarettes smokers who have a right to enjoy the park without unwanted cigarette smoke getting in their eyes and noses. The city needs to adopt some restrictions which, in reality, are overdue.

    City Parks and Recreation Director Chuck Proulx said, "We have approval from the city's legal department to adjust our policy on smoking cigarettes in parks and now we have to decide what it should be."There are countless issues that City Council members can address to help residents of the city. Because there are so many, they cannot always know where some problem areas may exist without them being brought to their attention. And good ideas can come from a variety of sources.The student, Rigg, deserves credit for bringing this problem to the attention of the City Council and for the effectiveness of his presentation.

    The City Council, too, should be commended for listening to ideas from an unexpected source and considering it sufficiently worthwhile to proceed with potential action.Would it be appropriate to call the City Council's action a "breath of fresh air"?Cigarettes smokers be forewarned. Your days of unrestricted smoking cigarettes in city parks in Port St. Lucie are numbered and rightfully so.

    It is a healthy development.

    Liggett Group Wins Tobacco Case

    Snapping a six-case plaintiff winning streak, Liggett Group, in a rare appearance as solo defendant in an Engle-progeny trial, prevailed in a case brought on behalf of cigarettes smoker Betty Blitch.

    In his closing statement, Wilner Hartley's Woody Wilner urged the jury, when considering how much fault to assign to Ms. Blitch, to keep in mind that "This was a combined, massive effort to sell cigarettes, that Liggett belonged to, and everybody else belonged to. As we look under the door, and see the ugliness inside, this was the biggest conspiracy, the biggest public relations blitz in American history...And of course this was an industry that had the power to spend $250 billion dollars on advertising in this time period."

    For Liggett, Kasowitz Benson's Kelly Luther argued that smoking cigarettes did not cause Ms. Blitch's esophageal cancer, and that smoking Liggett cigarettes definitely did not contribute to her esophogeal cancer. "Even if you were to remove all of Betty Blitch's smoking cigarettes, she had a substantial risk of going on to develop her esophogeal cancer because of the other risk factors that she had," including alcohol use, cervical cancer, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    The jury found that Ms. Blitch was addicted to smoking cigarettes for sale, and the addiction to smoking cigarettes was the legal cause of the cancer that caused her death. However, the jury also found that neither Liggett's actions nor the defective nature of the cigarettes was a legal cause of Ms. Blitch's death.

    Vanderburgh Smoking Cigarettes Ban

    Some business owners fear a Vanderburgh County smoking cigarettes ban will hurt their bottom line.

    On July 8, Vanderburgh County bars and restaurants will be forced to go smoke free cigarettes, under an ordinance passed by county commissioners on Tuesday.

    Restaurant and bar owners say the commissioners decision to ban smoking cigarettes will drive their clientele out, hurting them financially, while others say they'll just have to think outside the box when it comes to keeping there customers.

    Darlene Young, owner of the St. Joe Inn, one of the eight restaurants and bars that will be affected by the smoke-free cigarettes switch, worries that being a non-smoking cigarettes place is going to hurt business.

    "It's hard. It's going to hurt us financially, we've already had a lot of people complain," Young said.

    Young tell us she's still recovering from the last smoking cigarettes ordinance that required to separate the bar from the dinning room, and install extra ventilation.

    Young says see's the cigarettes ban's health benefits, but to her, it is all about politics and she's tired of getting pushed around.

    Also on the docket to go smoke cigarettes free is the Hornets Nest.

    The Hornets Nest says they've digested the information and have begun to make plans to accommodate marlboro cigarettes smokers.

    Owner Derek Ungethiem says that they plan to build a deck out front.

    A lot of people 14 News spoke with said they would like to see Indiana pass a statewide ban on indoor smoking cigarettes, that way everyone could be on fair playing ground.

    30 Interesting Cigarettes Facts



    The world’s view on smoking cigarettes has changed dramatically over the last century. The habit was once considered to be cool, sexy, good for your health, and widely enjoyed by many people. It was promoted by sportsmen, and advertised all over television. No one could be seen acting in a movie without a lit cigarette in their hand! Today, smoking is considered to be a nasty addictive habit that can kill you and those around you. You wont find them advertised anywhere – nor will you see anyone smoking inside a public building. It seems that these days smokers are considered to be anti-social and are often frowned at if seen smoking outside in crowded places. Below is a list of interesting facts about cigarettes.







    1. Cigarettes are the single-most traded item on the planet, with approximately 1 trillion being sold from country to country each year. At a global take of more than $400 billion, it’s one of the world’s largest industries.







    2. The nicotine content in several major brands is reportedly on the rise. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Health Department revealed that between 1997 and 2005 the amount of nicotine in Camel, Newport, and Doral cigarettes may have increased by as much as 11 percent.







    3. In 1970, President Nixon signed the law that placed warning labels on cigarettes and banned television advertisements for cigarettes. The last date that cigarette ads were permitted on TV was extended by a day, from December 31, 1970 to January 1, 1971 to allow the television networks one last cash windfall from cigarette advertising in the New Year’s Day football games.







    4. U.S. cigarette manufacturers now make more money selling cigarettes to countries around the globe than they do selling to Americans.







    5. The American brands Marlboro, Kool, Camel and Kent own roughly 70% of the global cigarette market.
