    Yoonsang Kim, Alex Kresovich et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2025

    Our analysis of ATST content on X/Twitter revealed the evidence of strategic comarketing of smokeless and alcohol products, specifically coordinated activities leveraging cultural narratives to normalise substance use. Social media's unregulated space facilitates cross-substance promotion, linking smokeless tobacco with alcohol through strategic product placement and lifestyle associations. These findings highlight the need for new prevention and…

    Open Access•Nathan A Silver, Nathaniel A Silver et al.•ARTICLE•Social Media + Society•2025•References: 76

    Tobacco content on Twitter (X) generally opposes regulation. Although a near real-time data source of the public's response to prominent events heightens the allure of extrapolating public sentiment from Twitter content, tobacco policy sentiment on the platform may be more indicative of industry-affiliated top users. We examined 2 years of tobacco policy discussion on Twitter (X) at the user level ( N = 3,159,807 posts) from September 2019 to Jul…

  • Deciphering Influence on Social Media: A Comparative Analysis of Influential Account Detection Metrics in the Context of Tobacco Promotion

    Open Access•Alex Kresovich, Andrew Norris et al.•ARTICLE•Social Media + Society•2024•References: 66

    Influencer marketing spending in the United States was expected to surpass $6 billion in 2023. This marketing tactic poses a public health threat, as research suggests it has been utilized to undercut decades of public health progress-such as gains made against tobacco use among adolescents. Public health and public opinion researchers need practical tools to capture influential accounts on social media. Utilizing X (formerly Twitter) little ciga…

The appeal of mining these rich datasets is clear. However, there is potential ri…

  • The Effects of Tobacco Coverage in the Public Communication Environment on Young People’s Decisions to Smoke Combustible Cigarettes

    Open Access•Richard Hornik, Steven Binns et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2022

    In today’s complex media environment, does media coverage influence youth and young adults’ (YYA) tobacco use and intentions? We conceptualize the “public communication environment” and effect mediators, then ask whether over time variation in exogenously measured tobacco media coverage from mass and social media sources predicts daily YYA cigarette smoking intentions measured in a rolling nationally representative phone survey (N = 11,847 on 1,1…

  • Association between E-Cigarette Advertising Exposure and Use of E-Cigarettes among a Cohort of U.S. Youth and Young Adults

    Youth and young adult (YYA) use of e-cigarettes increased rapidly between 2010 and 2019 in the United States, during which exposure to e-cigarette advertising was also increased. We aimed to examine whether exposure to e-cigarette advertising among YYAs may lead to subsequent e-cigarette use. A cohort of 3886 YYAs ages 13-24 was recruited from two survey panels in 2018 and followed up until 2019. Survey data were collected online and by telephone…

    Open Access•Megan C Diaz, Elexis C Kierstead et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Greater exposure to tobacco advertising online is associated with greater odds of smokeless use among surveyed youth and young adults. This effect of social media marketing exposure on smokeless use outweighs the mitigating impact of existing tobacco control policies. The findings underscore the need for strong advertising regulation of evolving tobacco products, including smokeless products, on social media and surveillance of digital marketing …

    Open Access•Ganna Kostygina, Hy Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2022

  • Heating Up: How Early Twitter Marketing Gave Rise to Organic Word-of-Mouth About Heated Tobacco Products

    Open Access•Ganna Kostygina, Hy Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Social Media + Society•2022•References: 32

    Social media are an important marketing platform for emerging tobacco products. Heated tobacco products (HTPs) have been introduced in a limited number of local test markets in the United States as potentially reduced-exposure tobacco products. HTPs can be used to heat tobacco as well as marijuana. However, due to growing digital media promotion of these products, it is possible that public knowledge and purchasing opportunities extend beyond tes…

  • Exploring How Exposure to Truth and State-Sponsored Anti-Tobacco Media Campaigns Affect Smoking Disparities among Young Adults Using a National Longitudinal Dataset, 2002–2017

    Open Access•David C Colston, Yanmei Xie et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    We found no evidence that baseline Truth and state-sponsored ad exposure was associated with first cigarette or daily smoking initiation at follow up, nor did we find any evidence for effect modification by sex, race/ethnicity, or parental education. We hypothesize that anti-tobacco media campaigns might have had a short-term impact on smoking behaviors, though these effects were not sustained long term

    Public health organizations are increasingly turning to social media as a channel for health campaign dissemination, as these platforms can provide access to 'hidden' or at-risk audiences such as populations of color and youth. However, few studies systematically assess the effects of such campaigns in a competitive communication environment characterized by an influx of sophisticated tobacco product marketing.

    The notion that an animal species is comparable with a human person is unusual but significant in North Atlantic societies. We analyze this trope to make a case for rhetoric culture theory as a powerful form of anthropological analysis. The "species is person" trope has been woven with other tropes to make moral and cosmological arguments in the present geosocial era of environmental crisis. The trope stands against two others in North Atlantic s…

    There is growing interest in conducting public health research using data from social media. In particular, Twitter “infoveillance” has demonstrated utility across health contexts. However, rigorous and reproducible methodologies for using Twitter data in public health are not yet well articulated, particularly those related to content analysis, which is a highly popular approach. In 2014, we gathered an interdisciplinary team of health science r…
