Veterans Disability Claim- How can Veterans Win a Claim despite the Tobacco Use Restrictions?
In this video Marc Whitehead, an Accredited Veterans Disability Attorney, discusses ways a veteran is able to win a disability claim despite the tobacco use restriction.
https://disabilitydenials.com/blog/va-claims-how-can-veterans-get-around-the-tobacco-use-restriction/
Although the VA provides for the use of a direct Service Connection in VA claims for a wide variety of disabilities, there is one exception. Veterans may not make a claim for service connection caused by tobacco use during their period of service.
Under no circumstances can tobacco consumption, by any method, be used in the Nexus of evidence needed for a VA claim.

1994 - Tobacco Company CEOs Testify Before Congress
In 1994, United States Congressman Harry Waxman held a famous series of Congressional hearings. The presidents and CEOs of the seven largest American tobacco companies were subpoenaed to testify before Waxman's committee. On April 14, 1994, after more than six hours of sharp questioning by members of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, the seven CEOs steadfastly refused to budge under stringent questioning that they knew cigarettes were addictive. Each stated under oath that they did not believe nicotine was addictive.
Within months, a perjury investigation was initiated by the Department of Justice. Ultimately, the Department of Justice claimed it did not have enough evidence to prosecute for perjury because the CEOs testified under oath that they b...

In this video Marc Whitehead, an Accredited Veterans Disability Attorney, discusses ways a veteran is able to win a disability claim despite the tobacco use restriction.
https://disabilitydenials.com/blog/va-claims-how-can-veterans-get-around-the-tobacco-use-restriction/
Although the VA provides for the use of a direct Service Connection in VA claims for a wide variety of disabilities, there is one exception. Veterans may not make a claim for service connection caused by tobacco use during their period of service.
Under no circumstances can tobacco consumption, by any method, be used in the Nexus of evidence needed for a VA claim.
This rule also applies to survivors seeking benefits after a veteran has passed away due to tobacco related illness.
This restriction though, is not quite as strict as it sounds. Although the VA cannot grant a service connection disability that depends on tobacco use to prove linkage. It is possible for claimants to receive benefits from tobacco related illnesses through other strategies.
If the disability you are seeking Veterans benefits for, could possibly be eligible for a service presumption that doesn't require providing a Nexus of evidence. Such as the Service Connection by Legal Presumption. You may still be able to make a successful case.
Meaning, it is possible to make a successful case without the need to provide a physicians opinion.
Example: If you are able to use the Service Connection by Legal Presumption for a diagnosis of lung cancer due to agent orange exposure. A Physicians opinion will not be required to submit. This is possible even if your doctor is convinced your long cancer was caused by smoking.
There is also a loophole regarding Secondary service connection for conditions caused by tobacco use.
In the rear cases where a Veteran took up smoking to clam the symptoms of a Service Connected ailment, such as PTSD or other anxiety disorders. Then developed a condition caused by tobacco use, the Veteran may be eligible for benefits.
The case may be ruled in the Veterans favor so long as they are able to prove the following:
1- The condition that caused the tobacco use was Service Connected
2- The use of tobacco was a major cause of the Secondary Disability
3- The Secondary Disability wouldn't have manifested if it had not been for the use of tobacco products
It is strongly recommended that you hire a qualified Veterans Disability attorney before beginning a case.
The rules and restrictions that effect VA claims are difficult to understand. So it is always a good strategy to have an experienced attorney on your side.

Industry Interference in the Passage of Excise Tax On Tobacco Products in Ghana was Real
…As Smokers claim recent Tax Increment on Tobacco Products have not reflected in prices on the market
Some regular cigarette smokers in Ghana have downplayed the effect of the 20% tax increment on Tobacco products. They say it has not reflected on the price of the commodity on the market, and that the price of cigarette has remained the same.
In an exclusive report by Ghananewsonline.com.gh the smokers who admitted that they are heavily addicted to cigarette smoking told members of our investigative desk, that a pack of cigarette still cost Ghc35 and a single stick goes for Ghp1.50. They said however, that, should the price go up further than this they would be forced to find ways to quit smoking because affordability would be an issue.
Parliament of Ghana passed the Excise Duty Amendment Bill 2022 in April this year into law with the expectation that the government would make about GH¢400 million with the imposition of a 20% tax on tobacco and tobacco related products, among others.
The process leading to the passage of the tax law by parliament faced various setbacks which some people have attributed to strong interference from the tobacco industry.
An Economist and Executive Director of Centre for Greater Impact Africa - Rev. Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, in an exclusive interview with our investigators said, industry has the right to oppose these taxes because it causes astronomical increase in production cost of these products leading to redundancy at many of the companies.
“Increment in prices makes cost of production expensive and can lead to redundancy, so industry has the right to fight back, and they did fight back with various technicalities,” he noted.
It is believed that Dr Worlanyo’s Center was one of the organizations that fronted for the Tobacco Industry in its move to delay the passage of the bill.
We can reference a letter of invitation from the Centre for Greater Impact Africa to some selected journalists in the country inviting them to be part of “an Army of Journalist against the Excise Duty Tax”.
Some Members of Parliament even in though refused to be put on record, admitted to the team in private conversations that various organizations and individuals tried various interventions to hinder the passage of the tax measure. According to the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Agotime-Ziope Constituency, Charles Agbeve, who is also a leading member of the Health Committee of Parliament, “these institutions did not use money, however, they were strong in their moves to talking individual MPs into seeing the law as a retrogression and unnecessary at the time.”
Other MPs also admitted that various organizations and individuals tried various interventions to hinder the passage of the tax measure.
The good news is that despite all the stubborn attempts, the law got passed nevertheless.
A concern that has come up, however, is about how impactful the 20% increment in tobacco related products has been on the lives of heavy smokers in the country?
GhanaNewsOnline.com.gh’s investigation team visited the “REDCO Ghetto” around Madina in Accra where we met ‘J’ and his friends who said indeed they have heard of the new tax law but the increment, has not affected them because the prices of cigarette on the market remains the same.
They admitted that, should the prices move to 2ghc per stick and 40 per pack, they would be left with no option than to quit smoking because affordability would surely be an issue. They said they are much aware of the negative impact of cigarette on their bodies but the addiction would not let them quit easily. They are even ready to move into smoking other substances should that become the only affordable measure to them.
“We haven’t seen any increment here, the pack of Kingsize is still 35Ghc and a single stick is 1.50Ghc, I buy it every day and no one has increased the price here,” he said.
We spoke with some Ghanaians on the street who insisted that increasing prices on tobacco products is a laudable step to rake in revenue for government. “It would also deter smokers from continuing with the habit,” they noted.
Our investigations reveal that the Excise Duty Tax faced and continues to face many hurdles from industry. For this reason we are recommending the strengthening of a dedicated media groups like the Media Alliance in Tobacco Control and Health (MATCOH) to help promote the works of advocates against tobacco in Ghana.

Some Members of Parliament even in though refused to be put on record, admitted to the team in private conversations that various organizations and individuals tried various interventions to hinder the passage of the tax measure. According to the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Agotime-Ziope Constituency, Charles Agbeve, who is also a leading member of the Health Committee of Parliament, “these institutions did not use money, however, they were strong in their moves to talking individual MPs into seeing the law as a retrogression and unnecessary at the time.”
Other MPs also admitted that various organizations and individuals tried various interventions to hinder the passage of the tax measure.
The good news is that despite all the stubborn attempts, the law got passed nevertheless.
A concern that has come up, however, is about how impactful the 20% increment in tobacco related products has been on the lives of heavy smokers in the country?
GhanaNewsOnline.com.gh’s investigation team visited the “REDCO Ghetto” around Madina in Accra where we met ‘J’ and his friends who said indeed they have heard of the new tax law but the increment, has not affected them because the prices of cigarette on the market remains the same.
They admitted that, should the prices move to 2ghc per stick and 40 per pack, they would be left with no option than to quit smoking because affordability would surely be an issue. They said they are much aware of the negative impact of cigarette on their bodies but the addiction would not let them quit easily. They are even ready to move into smoking other substances should that become the only affordable measure to them.
“We haven’t seen any increment here, the pack of Kingsize is still 35Ghc and a single stick is 1.50Ghc, I buy it every day and no one has increased the price here,” he said.
We spoke with some Ghanaians on the street who insisted that increasing prices on tobacco products is a laudable step to rake in revenue for government. “It would also deter smokers from continuing with the habit,” they noted.
Our investigations reveal that the Excise Duty Tax faced and continues to face many hurdles from industry. For this reason we are recommending the strengthening of a dedicated media groups like the Media Alliance in Tobacco Control and Health (MATCOH) to help promote the works of advocates against tobacco in Ghana.
