While hot pink is still a crowd-pleaser, it’s time to embrace a darker shade for SS23. Lavender tones have made a dramatic entrance with apologies to Pantone’s Color of the Year ’Very Peri,’ while designers like A.W.A.K.E and Valentino have incorporated the hue into asymmetric fitted shirts and soft brown co-ords that exude utilitarian sexiness.

Unlike commercial tobacco, Native Cigarettes are made from high-quality tobacco that is grown without any chemicals or additives. This results in a healthier smoking experience, as there are fewer harmful side effects to consider. Native cigarettes also contain more nicotine than traditional cigarettes, but they are less addictive, making them a great alternative for those who still smoke. Read more :nativecigarettes.com

In an effort to reverse these trends, many tribes are working towards decreasing the influence of commercial tobacco in a variety of ways. Some are emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of traditional tobacco and promoting smoking cessation efforts in their communities. Others are focusing on creating smoke-free spaces at pow-wows and offering tobacco education at tribal schools.

Still other tribes are experimenting with growing their own tobacco. Boudreau and her allies are working on growing Nicotiana rustica, a short and spindly-looking indigenous tobacco plant with a long history of ritual use by many tribal communities. The plants are easier to grow than their lush-leafed commercial cousin N. tabacum, which is what’s used for commercial cigarette production.

A man in Magog, Quebec recently pleaded guilty to selling illegal cigarettes out of his home. He had been buying cheap Native smokes at Kahnawake and reselling them to people on the reserve, saving them upwards of $5 per pack and netting himself $9.50.

The rate of cigarette smoking is higher among American Indians/Alaska Natives than all other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death for AI/AN people and cigarette smoking is the leading cause of cancer and lung ailments in this population.

Prepack is an insolvency term that describes a number of arrangements and processes across a range of jurisdictions. Although they are widely used, there is a lot of variation in terms of how they work.

There are some core benefits of a pre pack administration that help to make it a popular option. These include:

Business continuity: Insolvency is not good for business so a quick and relatively smooth transfer of the business through a pre-pack can be advantageous. This can be especially important where customers, suppliers and employees are concerned about a break in trading or the potential of the company being liquidated.

Exploring Prepack: An Alternative Insolvency Solution

Value protection: It is often the case that news of a company’s insolvency will lead to value diminution in the marketplace, as customers, suppliers and employees lose confidence or start shopping elsewhere. This can be mitigated by completing a pre-pack sale to a newco before this occurs.

Job-saving: Pre-packs often result in many staff keeping their jobs as the company is sold to a newco. This is because employees contracts are transferred to the newco via TUPE regulations.

Despite these benefits, the use of pre-packs is not without its critics, with some arguing that they lack transparency and are unfair to certain creditors. This is particularly true where the sale is to a connected party such as the directors, shareholders or previous owners of the original company. To counter this, Statement of Insolvency Practice (SIP) 16 requires IPs to provide a report from an independent evaluator following the completion of a pre-pack sale to a connected party.
