Health Promotion International
From the first issue in May 1986, Health Promotion International (HPI) (Health Promotion until 1990) pursued an agenda of advocacy and action for healthy public policy and health equity. At the time of the journal’s launch, public health had become oriented toward medicalized and behavioural approaches, with individualized health education the dominant intervention. In HPI’s first editorial, then Director General of the World Health Organization …
HOP – An Occupational Indicator for the Potential of Working from Home
Working from home (hereinafter referred to as WFH) is becoming increasingly important as the growing availability of modern information and communication technologies enables many employees to decide where (and when) they work. Nevertheless, certain occupations cannot be undertaken outside of the workplace. Work relying on digital devices such as smartphones or laptops and an internet connection can be done relatively easily from home. WFH is har…
The policy implementation playbook
BACKGROUND: Tobacco industry interference during policy development is well documented, yet evidence on how the industry responds after policies are adopted and enter into force remains fragmented across policy domains and jurisdictions. This study systematically examines post-adoption tobacco industry conduct across key tobacco control measures and develops a cross-policy taxonomy of post-adoption tactics. We conducted as scoping review and qual…
Flue-cured tobacco in Zimbabwe
FCV increases the addictiveness of tobacco products and threatens the Miombo ecosystem in southern Africa. Restrictions on the use of flue-cured leaf in tobacco products have the potential to reduce demand for cigarettes and support the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control's Articles 17 and 18
The tobacco industry at the health–environment nexus
The sharp rise in ‘disposable’, or single-use, e-cigarettes in the UK—especially among young people—has raised urgent public health and environmental concerns. Manufacturers, including transnational tobacco companies (TTCs), have faced criticism for designing and marketing products that appeal to youth and have a considerable environmental footprint. In response, a UK-wide ban on single-use e-cigarettes was implemented in June 2025. While industr…
Constructing and contesting industry’s role in multistakeholder governance
BACKGROUND: Multistakeholderism as a norm stating that global public issues should be addressed by all those who affect or are affected by this issue, has become increasingly institutionalised in global governance, including the United Nations (UN) system. Despite an increasing body of evidence showing the risks of corporate capture of multistakeholder governance (MSG) and its related inability to deliver effective public health outcomes, this ap…
The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill (2023/4)
When faced with tobacco endgame and nicotine control policies in the UK, tobacco and nicotine industries pushed back using framing strategies common to health-harming industries. Despite contradicting their 'transformation' narratives, TTCs still sought to position themselves as public health actors deserving policy access. Advocates, researchers and policymakers can anticipate opposition to endgame policies-such as a generational sales ban-and N…
Tobacco control advocates as human rights defenders
Let us all work together for the larger public health good.” Philip Morris targeting German dental professionals
Unpacking complexities surrounding tobacco control policy formulation and tobacco industry interference in South Africa
South Africa (SA) used to be recognized as a committed leader in tobacco control (TC) having passed effective TC policies in the 1990s, but in recent years, it has been overtaken by other countries. While research suggests that the tobacco industry (TI) predominantly uses economic arguments to shape TC policy discussions in SA, TI tactics to influence policy formulation have not been examined in the peer-reviewed literature. In this study, we dra…
Impact and experiences of vestibular disorders and psychological distress
INTRODUCTION: People with vestibular disorders frequently experience reduced quality of life and challenges with activities of daily living. Anxiety, depression and cognitive problems often co-present with vestibular disorders and can aggravate symptoms and prolong clinical recovery. We aimed to gain in-depth insights into the impact of vestibular disorders and the contribution of psychological factors by exploring multistakeholder perspectives. …
“They try to suppress us, but we should be louder”
BACKGROUND: Tobacco control advocates and researchers face powerful opponents who go to great lengths to protect their interests. While threats and attacks are documented in the grey literature, research into intimidation remains scarce. Building on previous exploratory research, this study seeks to offer in-depth insights into experiences of intimidation in the global tobacco control community. METHODS: Using qualitative description, we conducte…
Advocacy counterstrategies to tobacco industry interference in policymaking
Seeking to be seen as legitimate members of the scientific community? An analysis of British American Tobacco and Philip Morris International’s involvement in scientific events
BAT and PMI representatives attended a large number and wide range of scientific events. Given that scientific events could be a crucial platform for building connections in the scientific sphere and disseminating industry's messages, this work highlights the importance of denormalising the tobacco industry's involvement in scientific events
Tobacco industry interference to undermine the development and implementation of graphic health warnings in Bangladesh
The strategies cigarette companies used closely resemble key techniques from the well-evidenced tobacco industry playbook. The study underlines the importance of continuing monitoring and investigations into industry conduct and suspicious actors. Prioritising the implementation of WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Article 5.3 is crucial for advancing tobacco control, particularly in places like Bangladesh, where close government-indust…
Die Folgen der Digitalisierung für die Geschlechterungleichheit auf dem Arbeitsmarkt – Substituierbarkeitspotenziale und die Beschäftigungsentwicklung bei Frauen und Männern
Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung hat Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitswelt und damit auch auf die bestehenden Geschlechterungleichheiten am Arbeitsmarkt. Es gibt sowohl Argumente, dass die Digitalisierung zu einer Verschärfung als auch zu einer Nivellierung der bestehenden Geschlechterungleichheiten am Arbeitsmarkt beitragen kann. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt deskriptiv, dass Frauen im Durchschnitt seltener als Männer substituierbare Tätigkeiten –…
To be honest, I’m really scared’
This exploratory study suggests that intimidation is a crucial challenge for the tobacco control community. There are several measures the global tobacco control community could take, including establishing an international support mechanism and building capacity to deal with intimidation and draw attention to it
Developing more detailed taxonomies of tobacco industry political activity in low-income and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: Historical evidence, predominantly from high-income countries (HICs), shows that the tobacco industry uses a recurring set of arguments and techniques when opposing tobacco control policies. This data formed the basis of a model of tobacco industry political activity known as the policy dystopia model (PDM). The PDM has been widely used in tobacco control research and advocacy and has subsequently been shown relevant to other unheal…
Occupation-Based Measures—An Overview and Discussion
Occupational information is among the most versatile categories of information about a person available in quantitative data. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of occupation-based measures in different topic areas. These include not only measures for analyzing social stratification, such as prestige scales, socioeconomic indices and class schemes but also measures of workplace tasks, occupation-specific health risks, gender segrega…
Berufe und soziale Ungleichheit – Thematische Einführung und Inhalte des Sonderhefts

Der Erwerbseinstieg in Zeiten gesellschaftlichen Wandels — Ost- und westdeutsche Jugendliche auf dem Weg ins Erwerbsleben
Die bisherigen Analysen des vorliegenden Buches konzentrierten sich darauf, die prägende Bedeutung der gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen für den Erwerbseinstieg in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren in Westdeutschland herauszuarbeiten. Die zusammengetragenen Befunde beschreiben eine Situation, in der die westdeutschen Jugendlichen mit einem eher bedächtigen, endogenen Wandel institutioneller Rahmenbedingungen sowie einer vordergründig durch die Konj…
