The interpersonal management of environmental tobacco smoke in the home–a qualitative study
The home is a significant source of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure for many children and, therefore, increasingly a focus of intervention, although evidence of effectiveness remains equivocal. However, little is known about the nature, genesis, and micro-social context of self-imposed restrictions on smoking in the home. In this exploratory study, interviews were conducted in 15 diverse households that had resident children in Toronto…
Perceptions of industry responsibility and tobacco control policy by US tobacco company executives in trial testimony
While other industries use corporate social responsibility programmes to address social issues to protect their core business product, the fundamental social issue with tobacco is the product itself. As such, the corporate nature of tobacco companies is a structural obstacle to reducing harm caused by tobacco use
The Effect of Smoking on the Relationship between Alcohol Consumption and All-Cause Mortality in Canadian Women
The protective effect of light to moderate drinking on all-cause mortality in general is well established, but there have been questions on its generalizability to women and non-smokers. The present study addresses these questions with a large cohort of Canadian middle-aged women. The key findings indicate that light to moderate drinkers have a markedly lower risk of mortality compared with current abstainers and that this effect is independent o…
Dimensions underlying legislator support for tobacco control policies

Measuring the incidence of self-injury
Self-injury behavior in a city of some 200,000 residents was measured in a study designed to employ a wider variety of sources of information than had previous studies. The study disclosed a much higher rate of self-injury than reported in earlier studies. Reasons for this high rate are discussed, and the authors contend that the “true” rate of self-injury is much higher even than that reported in their study

Report of the Tobacco Policy Research Study Group on Tobacco Pricing and Taxation in the United States
It is widely recognised that tobacco taxes are a potent device to decrease tobacco consump tion. In the United States, however, tobacco taxes have fallen, after adjustment for inflation, since the first Surgeon General's report was issued in 1964 in which the US government acknowledged the link between tobacco and disease. The proportion of pack price accoun ted for by tax has decreased by nearly half since 1964. Indeed, there have been only two …
