  • E-cigarettes, vaping and performativity in the context of tobacco denormalisation

    Open AccessMark Lucherini, Catriona Rooke et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2018Cited by: 5References: 10

    E-cigarettes are devices through which a nicotine solution is 'vapourised' and inhaled by the user. Unlike cigarettes, the process involves no tobacco combustion. However, the inhalation and exhalation of vapour is reminiscent of smoking and there is debate about the possible harms and benefits of e-cigarette use, including the 'renormalisation' of smoking. Despite these debates, there has been little exploration into the embodied and semiotic si…

  • Smokers’ and ex-smokers’ understanding of electronic cigarettes

    Catriona Rooke, Sarah Cunningham-Burley et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2015

    Different groups of smokers bring diverse expectations, requirements and concerns to their evaluations and therefore to the potential use of nicotine-containing products. The ambiguity around e-cigarettes in public health debates and medical practice is reflected in the positions and concerns of smokers. There is a need for both clear, up-to-date trustworthy information about their benefits and risks, and stronger regulation

  • News media representations of electronic cigarettes

    Catriona Rooke, Action Amos et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2013

    Drawing on the diffusion of innovations theory, we suggest that newspaper constructions of ENDS provide readers with important information about what ENDS are for, how they work, and their relative advantages. These themes, and dominance of more positive meanings, raise a number of issues for tobacco control, including concerns around celebrity use and promotion; the impact of increasing ENDS use on social norms around smoking; their potential to…

  • Harm reduction and the medicalisation of tobacco use

    Open AccessCatriona RookeARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2013Cited by: 3References: 10

    In tobacco control the focus has, for some time, been on abstinence from all types of tobacco use as the only solution to the problem of smoking, and harm reduction approaches are controversial. The most recent English tobacco strategy has incorporated harm reduction approaches in the form of new 'routes' to quitting smoking that encourage those who cannot quit to use safer sources of nicotine. This move away from a focus on abstinence can be see…

  • The Regulation of Nicotine in the United Kingdom

    Open AccessCatriona Rooke, Emilie Cloatre et al.ARTICLEJournal of Law and Society2012Cited by: 1

    This article explores the utility of actor‐network theory (ANT) as a tool for socio‐legal research. ANT is deployed in a study of the evolution of divided regulatory responsibility for tobacco and medicinal nicotine (MN) products in the United Kingdom, with a particular focus on how the latter came to be regulated as a medicine. We examine the regulatory decisions taken in the United Kingdom in respect of the first MN product: a nicotine‐containi…

  • Tobacco point-of-sale displays in England

    Catriona Rooke, Hazel Cheeseman et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2010

    The results suggest that the tobacco industry presence and control in the retail environment is significant. Tobacco companies overwhelmingly provided tobacco gantries in the shops surveyed and influenced displays through a combination of requirements and incentives. The extensive involvement of tobacco companies in providing and monitoring retail displays suggests the importance of implementing policies to end this form of advertising
