“In My Social Circle, We Don’t Discuss Health risks”
BACKGROUND: Nicotine vaping products (NVPs) remain prevalent among Australian adolescents and young adults (AYAs), despite increasing evidence of associated health risks and evolving regulatory restrictions. While some youth acknowledge potential harms, many continue vaping, raising questions about the role of uncertainty tolerance in sustaining use. This study aimed to examine how AYAs perceive vaping-related health risks, experience uncertainty…
A systematic review and synthesis of qualitative research on stakeholder views on commercial tobacco endgame goals and policies
BACKGROUND: As more countries and local jurisdictions set commercial tobacco endgame goals, evidence on stakeholders' views about endgame policies has expanded. We reviewed and synthesized evidence from qualitative studies on stakeholders' views about tobacco endgame goals and policies. METHOD: A systematic review of articles published until 20 August 2025 was conducted using seven academic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Medli…
Estimating the harms from smoking and second-hand smoke exposure in social housing
BACKGROUND: People living in social housing in Australia have higher prevalence of daily smoking and greater exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS), particularly in multi-unit housing where smoke can drift between dwellings. The health impact of this exposure has not been quantified for this population. METHODS: We developed a Monte-Carlo matrix model of household SHS exposure, including smoke drift between dwellings in multi-unit housing, and linke…
Framing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) risk
Protecting children from tobacco products in retail environments
Tobacco retailers’ use of toy displays and cartoons in signage in Australia
Do Australians use the prescription pathway when using nicotine vaping products to quit smoking
Evaluating the implementation of a prescription only regulatory model for nicotine vaping products
Our research identified several limitations associated with the current Australian prescription-only regulatory model. These were perceived by healthcare professionals to limit the potential for the regulations to reduce youth use and to increase access to safer NVP products for people who smoke to use for smoking cessation
Commercial tobacco endgame themes in the Australian media from 2000 to 2021
Media articles on the tobacco endgame in Australia generally contained positive sentiment about endgame policies. When engaging with the media, endgame advocates should be aware of, and ready to counter, opposing themes such as the purported failures of 'prohibition', 'nanny state' rhetoric or a growth in illicit tobacco trade
Support for nicotine reduction in cigarettes
More than half of respondents in all four countries-including those who smoked daily-supported a hypothetical VLNC standard to render cigarettes less addictive. It is important to examine if support is sustained after policies are implemented
The Acceptability and Effectiveness of Videos Promoting Smoking Cessation Among Australians Experiencing Mental Illness
There are high rates of tobacco smoking among people who experience mental illness (MI). While videos are an effective method of disseminating health-related information, there is limited research investigating the effectiveness of video-delivered education promoting smoking cessation among people living with MI. This formative study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of targeted video resources providing smoking cessation i…
‘It’s all the other stuff!’ How smokers understand (and misunderstand) chemicals in cigarettes and cigarette smoke
Many people understand chemicals as entities that do not occur naturally, and which are also invariably toxic. Tobacco control messages liberally use the term ‘chemicals’ to evoke these meanings and create concern among smokers. This may reinforce misunderstandings, potentially leading to smokers making harmful choices. To investigate smokers’ understandings of chemicals, we conducted qualitative research using 18 individual interviews and three …
Attitudes towards a hypothetical ‘clean nicotine’ product and harm reduction among smokers
Framing and scientific uncertainty in nicotine vaping product regulation
Policy Debates Regarding Nicotine Vaping Products in Australia
Australia has maintained a highly restrictive regulatory framework for nicotine vaping products (NVPs) and the regulatory approach differs from most other high income countries. This paper employed a thematic analysis to assess policy consultation submissions made to a government inquiry regarding use and marketing of NVPs. We included in the analysis submissions ( n = 40) made by Australian institutions that influence or contribute to health pol…
Protectors or puritans? Responses to media articles about the health effects of e-cigarettes
Background: As the use of e-cigarettes has increased globally, so has the debate about their safety and how they should be regulated. A primary source of information available to the public about the health effects of vaping are media articles, but it is unknown how the public might interpret and use media messaging to form or justify their positions on the regulation of vaping. This study analysed public comments on online media articles to inve…
Is it the nicotine? Australian smokers’ accounts of nicotine addiction
Since the 1980s, it has been widely accepted that nicotine is an addictive drug. While discussions of smoking inevitably lead smokers to reflect on their addiction, smokers’ perceptions of nicotine addiction specifically are rarely studied. Smokers’ understandings of nicotine addiction are increasingly relevant in light of the emergence of electronic cigarettes and other cessation aids containing nicotine, and their potential use as long-term rep…
Medicalisation, smoking and e-cigarettes
There is debate in the tobacco control literature about the value of a medical model in reducing smoking-related harm. The variety of medical treatments for smoking cessation has increased, health professionals are encouraged to use them to assist smoking cessation and tobacco dependence is being described as a 'chronic disease'. Some critics suggest that the medicalisation of smoking undermines the tobacco industry's responsibility for the harms…
Differential access to health care and support? A qualitative analysis of how Australian smokers conceptualise and respond to stigma
Scholarship on stigma, originally theorised as a ‘mark’ of social disgrace or difference, has since moved away from individual-level analyses to consider the socio-cultural context in the ‘marking’ of groups of people. In response to this theoretical shift, scholars have demonstrated how extensive tobacco denormalisation policies have contributed to the stigmatisation of smokers, documenting smokers’ experiences of stigma across a number of devel…
A qualitative study of smokers’ views on brain-based explanations of tobacco dependence
Scepticism and hope in a complex predicament
Why Don’t Smokers Want Help to Quit? A Qualitative Study of Smokers’ Attitudes towards Assisted vs. Unassisted Quitting
The development of prescription medication for smoking cessation and the introduction of evidence-based guidelines for health professionals has increasingly medicalised smoking cessation. There are debates about whether medicalisation is a positive development, or whether it has devalued unassisted quitting. In this debate the views of smokers have been neglected. This study explored the attitudes of smokers towards a range of quitting methods, a…
