Mapping loopholes in the current regulation of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship in Europe
Curbing TAPS through comprehensive national bans and cross-border cooperation remains challenging because of the permeability of mass media, social media and other digital tools. Further research is necessary to develop strategies for effective implementation and enforcement to ensure compliance with TAPS regulations
Is the perceived public stigma of smokers associated with value opposites? An exploratory cross-sectional analysis of Norwegian data 2011–2013
Smoker stigma is a likely unintended consequence of tobacco polices aiming to denormalise smoking. Little is known about the dissemination of stigmatising attitudes toward smokers at the population level, including their associations with personal values. Applying a theoretical approach that conceptualises stigma as a cultural (moral and intersubjective) issue, we analyse the spread of perceived public stigma of smokers in Norway and factors pred…
Exploring barriers to adherence to Covid-19 infection control measures and advice among immigrants in Norway
This study provides enhanced understanding of how and what immigrants perceive as barriers to adherence to COVID-19 measures and advice. Understanding immigrants' perspectives is crucial to tailoring policies and improving information dissemination among different groups in the future
Public support for further regulating smoking, snus and e-cigarettes in Norway, and its associations with risk perceptions and tobacco use
Overall, these findings illustrate the key role of risk perceptions in forming public opinions regarding tobacco-preventive regulations and underline the importance of information to ensure that population risk perceptions are accurate
Assessing notions of denormalization and renormalization of smoking in light of e-cigarette regulation
Cigarettes, snus and status
During the last decades smoking has been marginalised. Current tobacco policy is characterised by a continuous denormalisation of all forms of tobacco consumption. Yet, many people still use tobacco. This article highlights a possible cultural explanation for this: different tobacco products and uses are included in lifestyles of different social status and prestige, and vary in legitimacy. Using nationally representative data of the Norwegian ad…
Accumulation of material and lifestyle problems among daily smokers in Norway 1999 to 2013 - a cross-sectional analysis
Daily smokers are generally worse off than occasional smokers and non-smokers combined. However, the accumulation of material problems and health-risk behaviours by daily smokers and occasional smokers/non-smokers did not change significantly and all groups had fewer problems in 2013 than in 1999
Internasjonalisering av norsk alkohol- og tobakkspolitikk 1945–2015
Tobacco denormalisation and representations of different tobacco users in Norway
This study asks whether representations of different typical tobacco users vary in line with established stereotypes and by social group membership (especially tobacco user status). Social identity theory posits that representations differ due to varying identification with product users on the basis of personal use, while distinction theory suggests representations will be structured by proximity and distance to user groups. Using principal comp…
Exposure to smoking in films and smoking behaviour among Norwegian 15- to 20-year-olds
Studies from several countries have revealed significant effects of exposure to smoking in films on smoking behaviour and attitudes among adolescents. This study presents the first findings from the Scandinavian cultural region on this topic. With the objective to test for significant adjusted relationships between exposure to smoking in films and established smoking among 15- to 20-year-old respondents, and susceptibility to smoking among non-sm…
Sigaretter, snus og status – Om livsstilsforskjeller mellom brukergrupper av ulike tobakksprodukter
Les cultes médiatiques
X Files, Friends, Jimmy Hendrix ou Les Tontons flingueurs... le culte a envahi tous les domaines, du cinéma à la musique, du livre à la télévision. Mais le culte n'est pas simplement une expression passe-partout : il nous invite aussi à analyser de nouveaux modes de rapport aux œuvres. Quelle signification accorder à ce terme issu du champ religieux et appliqué aux publics des grands médias contemporains ? Quelle représentation des publics appara…
