Reactions of Adult Smokers and Former Smokers to Current US Warning Labels
Current warning labels do not make smokers think about the risks of smoking or have an effect on their likelihood of forgoing cigarettes or quitting
Trends in US newspaper and television coverage of tobacco
News coverage of tobacco in the USA was relatively constant from 2004 to 2010. Audiences were more likely to be exposed to different tobacco themes in newspapers/newswires than on television. Tracking information about tobacco news stories can be used by advocates, programs and others for planning and evaluation, and by researchers for hypothesis generation
Tobacco Use, Cessation, and Home Smoking Rules in a Hispanic Community
Prevalence estimates for current smoking and restriction in the home were similar to those reported for recent national surveys
Customizing Survey Instruments and Data Collection to Reach Hispanic/Latino Adults in Border Communities in Texas
Objectives. We sought to modify an instrument and to use it to collect information on smoking knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors among Hispanics/Latinos, and to adapt survey methods to obtain high participation levels. Methods. Promotoras (outreach workers) conducted face-to-face interviews with 1485 Hispanic adults (July 2007–April 2008). The project team used GeoFrame field enumeration methods to develop a sampling frame from househol…
Small-group discussions on menthol cigarettes
Some topics suggested by the participants warrant further investigation. More research is needed to assess the pervasiveness of these beliefs and their potential utility for smoking cessation interventions
Use of Consumer Survey Data to Target Cessation Messages to Smokers Through Mass Media
Objectives. We identified the mass media channels that reach the most cigarette smokers in an attempt to more effectively target smoking cessation messages. Methods. Reach estimates and index scores for smokers were taken from 2002–2003 ConsumerStyles and HealthStyles national surveys of adults (N=11660) to estimate overall and demographic-specific exposure measures for television, radio, newspapers, and magazines. Results. Smokers viewed more te…
Long-Term Trends in Adolescent and Young Adult Smoking in the United States
Objectives. We sought to describe long-term adolescent and young adult smoking trends and patterns. Methods. We analyzed adolescent data from Monitoring the Future, 1976 to 2005, and young adult (aged 18–24 years) data from the National Health Interview Survey, 1974 to 2005, overall and in subpopulations to identify trends in current cigarette smoking prevalence. Results. Five metapatterns emerged: we found (1) a large increase and subsequent dec…
What Do Adult Smokers Think About Ads and Promotional Materials for PREPs
New tobacco products
Although most established smokers did not like the PREPs they tried and will not recommend them to anyone, a minority of established smokers believe that there may be a market for these products
The Potential Effectiveness of Warning Labels on Cigarette Packages
Support for Tobacco Control Policies
Do Sex and Ethnic Differences in Smoking Initiation Mask Similarities in Cessation Behavior
Objectives. This study compared success in smoking cessation by sex, ethnic status, and birth cohort. Methods. African and European American respondents to the 1996 Current Population Survey (tobacco supplement) and the 1987 National Health Interview Survey (cancer control and cancer epidemiology supplements) constituted the study population. Elapsed time from smoking initiation to cessation was compared via nonparametric tests and survival analy…
Comprehensive tobacco control policies and the smoking behaviour of Canadian adults
To be effective, tobacco control must comprise a mix of strategies as men and women respond differently to health education and restrictions on public smoking; taxation, reflected in higher cigarette prices, is the only one of these measures related to smoking for both sexes. This model permits calculations of the level of increase in each measure that is required to reduce the prevalence of smoking by a specified amount
Using the Right Tools to Answer the Right Questions
The marked changes in health care expenditures in recent years have led to a call for greater accountability in the areas of health education, policy, services, and reform. In recent years, evaluative research has been conducted in health arenas under the rubric of health services research. The research methods employed have evolved not from evaluation research methodology, but from frameworks that often do not lend themselves to deriving appropr…
Knowledge About Tobacco and Attitudes Toward Tobacco Control
Interactions Between Smokers and Non-Smokers in Public Places
Smoking in the home
OBJECTIVES: Trends in attitudes and current practices concerning smoking in the home were examined. METHODS: Data from population-based surveys of adults in Ontario, Canada, were analyzed. RESULTS: Between 1992 and 1996, the percentage of respondents who agreed that parents spending time at home with small children should not smoke increased from 51% to 70%. In 1996, 34% of the homes surveyed were smoke-free. Smoke-free homes were associated with…
The relationship of cigarette prices and no-smoking bylaws to the prevalence of smoking in Canada
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the association of cigarette prices and no-smoking bylaws with the prevalence of smoking. METHODS: Data on individual smoking status were taken from two national household surveys in Canada. Current cigarette price, the 1-year and 10-year increase in price, and the extent of local restrictions on public smoking were added to the model. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of being a sm…
Smoking in the workplace
Restrictions on smoking and smoking patterns reflected the legislative environment; a more stringent environment was associated with more restrictions and less smoking at work
Quitting smoking
These findings support a multifaceted approach to tobacco control
An evaluation of the workplace smoking bylaw in the city of Toronto
Random-digit dialing surveys were conducted before (n = 1543) and 8 to 9 months after (n = 1430) implementation of the city of Toronto workplace smoking bylaw. Compared with workers in the rest of metropolitan Toronto and persons not working outside the home, city workers evidenced more positive changes in regard to knowledge of the bylaw, its requirements, and enforcement provisions. City workers reported more changes in workplace restrictions a…
The role of health beliefs in compliance with physician advice to quit smoking
Change in smoking status among school-aged youth
The present study examined the relationships between exposure to a smoking awareness curriculum, attitudes toward and knowledge about smoking, sociodemographic and smoking exposure characteristics, and change in smoking status over three years. During this period, 4.5 per cent of the students decreased their involvement with cigarettes, 56.6 per cent reported no change, and 38.9 per cent reported an increase. Exposure to the curriculum did not be…
