  • Own-price and cross-price elasticities of demand for cigarettes and waterpipe tobacco in three Eastern Mediterranean countries

    Open AccessAzizeh Chalak, Rima Nakkash et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Background Waterpipe tobacco smoking rates in the Eastern Mediterranean region are among the highest worldwide, yet little evidence exists on its economics. Estimates of demand elasticities for tobacco products are largely limited to cigarettes. This study aimed to estimate own-price and cross-price elasticities of demand for cigarettes and waterpipe tobacco products in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. Methods A volumetric choice experiment was con…

  • Philip Morris patents ‘harm reduction’ electronic waterpipe

    Mohammed Jawad, Alan Shihadeh et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2020

    On 18 April 2019, a patent filed by Philip Morris Products SA was published entitled ‘Shisha device for heating a substrate without combustion’.1 The patent describes a waterpipe apparatus that contains a complex electric heating element with a cartridge containing an ‘aerosol-generating substrate’.1 The design appears to interchangeably accommodate solid or liquid substrates that may or may not contain tobacco, non-tobacco plant material or nico…

  • Toxicant inhalation among singleton waterpipe tobacco users in natural settings

    Mohammed Jawad, Thomas Eissenberg et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    Background Studies that assess waterpipe tobacco smoking behaviour and toxicant exposure generally use controlled laboratory environments with small samples that may not fully capture real-world variability in human behaviour and waterpipe products. This study aimed to conduct real-time sampling of waterpipe tobacco use in natural environments using an in situ device. Methods We used the REALTIME sampling instrument: a validated, portable, self-p…

  • Assessing the advertisement of waterpipe tobacco on eBay in the UK

    Zainab Hussain, May Ci Van Schalkwyk et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    Direct tobacco advertising has been banned in the UK since 2003. Non-cigarette tobacco products such as waterpipe are included in this law, though an assessment of waterpipe tobacco industry compliance has yet to be made. This study sought to assess the presence of waterpipe tobacco advertisement on eBay, an e-commerce website with no age restrictions, and the sixth most visited in the UK.1 The eBay tobacco policy allows the sale of nicotine patc…

  • Health workers and the weaponisation of health care in Syria

    Open AccessFouad Mohamed Fouad, Annie Sparrow et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

  • Differences in tobacco smoking prevalence and frequency between adolescent Palestine refugee and non-refugee populations in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank

    Open AccessMohammed Jawad, Yousef Khader et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2016

    Current tobacco smoking prevalence is in excess of 20 % in both adolescent Palestine refugee and non-refugee populations in Middle Eastern countries, however Palestine refugees may smoke tobacco more frequently than non-refugees. Comparison of simple prevalence estimates may therefore mask important differences in tobacco use patterns within population groups

  • Consensus statement on assessment of waterpipe smoking in epidemiological studies

    Wasim Maziak, Ziyad Ben Taleb et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2016

    Numerous epidemiological accounts suggest that waterpipe smoking (aka hookah, shisha, narghile) has become a global phenomenon, especially among youth. The alarming spread of waterpipe and accumulating evidence of its addictive and harmful effects represent a new threat in the global fight to limit tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. In response to waterpipe's alarming trends, major public health and tobacco control organisations have starte…

  • Integrating the impact of cigarette and waterpipe tobacco use among adolescents in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

    Open AccessMohammed Jawad, Peter Roderick et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2016

    More research is warranted to refine our model's parameters. Tobacco control researchers should consider a move towards a single unit of measure for cigarette and waterpipe tobacco exposure in order to better inform health policy

  • Prevalence, correlates and patterns of waterpipe smoking among secondary school students in southeast London

    Open AccessMohammed Jawad, Gerald PowerARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Waterpipe smoking prevalence was high in southeast London, and users exhibited a different sociodemographic profile to cigarette users. Waterpipe should be included in national health surveys of young people. National surveillance is warranted to help develop suitable interventions to prevent uptake and promote cessation

  • Key health themes and reporting of numerical cigarette–waterpipe equivalence in online news articles reporting on waterpipe tobacco smoking

    Mohammed Jawad, Ali Bakır et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2013

    Those wishing to write or publish information related to WTS may wish to avoid comparing WTS to cigarettes using numerical values as this is a major source of confusion. Future research is needed to address the impact of the media on the attitudes, initiation and cessation rates of waterpipe smokers
