Resolution 43 (1987 Annual Meeting), adopted by the House of Delegates, resolved that the American Medical Association study the dangers associated with clove cigarettes, that policy recommendations regarding regulation of clove and other tobacco additives be developed, and that this information be made available to physicians and the public. Clove cigarettes are tobacco products. They therefore possess all the hazards associated with smoking all-tobacco cigarettes. In addition, inhaling clove cigarette smoke has been associated with severe lung injury in a few susceptible individuals with prodromal respiratory infection. Some individuals with normal respiratory tracts have apparently suffered aspiration pneumonitis as the result of a diminished gag reflex induced by a local anesthetic action of eugenol (the active component of cloves), which is volatilized into the smoke. The American Medical Association has an existing policy vigorously opposing the use of any tobacco product; no exemption from this policy is made for clove-containing cigarettes.
代表大会通过的第43号决议（1987年年会）决定，美国医学协会研究丁香烟相关的危害，制定关于丁香烟和其他烟草添加剂监管的政策建议，并将此信息提供给医生和公众。丁香烟是烟草制品。因此，它们具有与吸食全烟草香烟相关的所有危害。此外，在少数有前驱性呼吸道感染的易感个体中，吸入丁香烟烟雾与严重肺损伤有关。一些呼吸道正常的个体显然因丁香酚（丁香的活性成分）的局部麻醉作用导致咽反射减弱而发生误吸性肺炎，丁香酚挥发到烟雾中。美国医学协会现有一项坚决反对使用任何烟草制品的政策；含丁香香烟不豁免于此政策。
