    Kathryn Heley, Linnea Laestadius et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025

    BACKGROUND: Despite limited scientific evidence, public perceptions of cannabis as health enhancing are significant. As food products, cannabis edibles (edibles), may also leverage food-related associations that convey health. Social media is a prominent and influential source of largely unregulated cannabis information and a potential place to correct misinformation. Given its potential to shape product appeal and perceptions of health benefits …

    Open AccessTahilin Sanchez Karver, Clare Barrington et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Despite increased attention and efforts to improve HIV care among female sex workers (FSWs), they continue to have suboptimal HIV outcomes. Exploring the socio-structural dynamics related to the quality of HIV care received by FSWs is critical to further strengthen interventions to improve their HIV care continuum outcomes. In this study, we conducted two rounds of qualitative in-depth interviews with 20 FSWs living with HIV in the Dominican Repu…

  • Tobacco companies’ creation of additional communication space

    Torra E Spillane, Alena Madar et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    Cigarette pack inserts/onserts are unregulated in many countries and provide additional space for tobacco companies to extend and innovate their advertising. Tobacco advertising and packaging policies such as plain and standardised packaging should expand to address inserts/onserts to protect consumers more fully from industry promotion of deadly products

  • Culturally specific health-related features on cigarette packs sold in China

    Open AccessYuxian Cui, Zheng Dai et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    Health-related features on cigarette packs sold in China are common. Enhanced policies to address tobacco packaging, labelling and branding could support and facilitate a reduction in the high tobacco burden in China

  • Straw cigarette branding

    Open AccessGraziele Grilo, Kevin Welding et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    We identified an increase in availability of unique straw cigarette packs, strong branding and use of misleading descriptors on the packs. The adoption of plain packaging and the implementation of Brazil's additive ban could help to reduce the appeal of straw cigarettes and curb the current increase in use among youth

  • Analysis of wedding appeals on cigarette packs in China

    Open AccessDeana G Trimble, Lingwei Yu et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Chinese tobacco manufacturers take full advantage of the cigarette gifting and sharing culture demonstrated by packs with imagery and terminology specific to weddings. With only a 35% text health warning label, manufacturers have much real estate to make packs attractive for gifting on such occasions. Implementing plain packaging policies may be effective in decreasing gifting attractiveness for cigarette packs

  • Industry manipulation of pictorial health warning labels in Pakistan

    Open AccessElizabeth Crespi, Michael Iacobelli et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Approximately 10.5% of adults in Pakistan (about 13 million) smoke cigarettes,1 causing 134 000 deaths annually.2 To reduce the burden of disease, the Pakistan government implemented a requirement in 2010 for 40% pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) that depicted mouth cancer. A 2017 ruling to increase HWL size was implemented in August 2018 (50% throat cancer image) and August 2019 (60% gangrenous foot image).3 4 Pictorial HWLs increase smoker…

  • Compliance with the City of Chicago’s partial ban on menthol cigarette sales

    Lauren Czaplicki, Joanna E Cohen et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    The poor compliance observed with Chicago's partial menthol cigarette ban highlights the need for comprehensive efforts. Optimising local resources to target enforcement efforts in gas stations could improve compliance. Ordinances that also restrict advertising could potentially enhance ban impact by reducing exposure to product and promotions

  • A closer look at ‘Cheap White’ cigarettes

    Open AccessHana Ross, Nicole Vellios et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2015

    We confirmed that many Cheap White brands do not comply with the legal requirements in countries where they are sold, but also found that some of these cigarettes appear to be sold legally even outside their country of origin. The presence of untaxed Cheap Whites undermines tobacco tax policies, while the availability of legal cheap cigarettes is a public health concern

    Lisa P Lagasse, Lisa Lagasse et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2014

  • I Come from a Black-Eyed Pea Background”

    Karen C Smith, Katherine Clegg Smith et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2012

    To promote healthy eating, it is important to understand how people conceptualize diet and factors shaping notions of particular foods and dietary patterns as healthy. We present data from eight focus groups exploring dietary issues among women aged 40-64. We analyze how women referenced their history and background in accounting for current diet. We highlight three emergent themes: (1) how we ate growing up; (2) what we eat where I come from; an…
