Exposure to Iqos ads and reduced exposure claims, and association with perceived risk from Covid-19 on Iqos purchase and use intentions: Results from a web-based survey
Introduction: IQOS was authorized to be marketed as a reduced exposure product by the Food and Drug Administration in October 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Those who smoke may be more sensitive to reduced exposure marketing claims and may have an increased inclination toward IQOS use. We evaluated the likelihood of trying and purchasing IQOS as a function of exposure to ads, product appeal, and COVID-19 risk perceptions using the orig…
Balancing Risks and Benefits of E-Cigarettes in the Real World
Revisiting Power in a Southeast Asian Landscape – Discussant’s Comments
Going back a half century to the classic essays of Benedict Anderson (‘The Idea of Power in Javanese Culture’) and Lucien Hanks (‘Merit and Power in the Thai Social Order’) shows both the value and the limitations of anthropology’s move to meaning and increasingly intensive, site-specific fieldwork. While Anderson and Hanks pioneered the study of indigenous meanings, an approach which came to dominate Southeast Asian anthropology and area studies…
The Impact of E-Cigarette Warnings, Warning Themes and Inclusion of Relative Harm Statements on Young Adults’ E-Cigarette Perceptions and Use Intentions
Although e-cigarettes in the United States are required to carry one nicotine addiction warning, little is known about the impact of other potential e-cigarette warning themes, nor about pairing warnings with messages that communicate e-cigarettes' reduced-harm potential relative to cigarettes. We randomly assigned 876 young adults (ages 18−29) to view e-cigarette ads in a 3 × 2 plus control online experiment that varied by warning theme (i.e., n…
Using a Smoking Cessation Quitline to Promote Lung Cancer Screening
Objective We assessed whether in-depth messaging delivered via a smoking cessation quitline results in participants: (1) speaking to their physician, or (2) insurance company regarding lung cancer screening (LCS). MethodsEligible participants lived in New York State and met the United States Preventive Services Task Force eligibility criteria for LCS (N = 1000). A randomized trial was conducted among New York State Smokers' Quitline participants …
Considerations and Future Research Directions for E-Cigarette Warnings—Findings from Expert Interviews
Tobacco warning labels are important sources of risk information but research historically has been cigarette-centric. This qualitative study aimed to inform future direction and research on warnings for e-cigarettes. Between June and August 2016, we conducted interviews with 10 researchers with expertise in tobacco warning label research. Interviewees were registrants of a 2016 National Cancer Institute grantee meeting on tobacco warnings. Sever…
Sermons in the Culture of Buddhism—Discussant's Remarks
Our panel's papers show a Buddhism alert to the moment and attuned to local realities. Culture by culture, our panellists capture Buddhism as a living tradition. Invaluable as these ethnographic insights are, seeing Buddhism's larger, enduring culture requires ethnology. In this wider perspective, set alongside Christianity and Islam, sermons distinguish world religions from indigenous religiosities that need no explanation. Over millennia, by pr…

Breastfeeding as custom not culture: Cutting meaning down to size (Respond to this article at http://www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)
Seeing breastfeeding as culturally constructed highlights its overall meaning only to hide the activity's inner dynamic and structural separateness. To study breastfeeding in its own terms, our paper flips culture as meaning on its head, asking how the whole (culture) fits the part (breastfeeding). Addressing that question to cultural, regional and cross‐cultural bodies of evidence, we find that what's viable bioculturally is nowhere near as mall…

De-medicalizing anorexia: A new cultural brokering
Interviews with recovered anorexics in Tennessee, U. S. A., and Toronto, Canada, refute popular stereotypes and question anorexia's medicalization. Instead of adolescent girls literally dying for looks, putting anorexics in their life-world and life-course context shows youthful ascetics-male as well as female-obsessing over not beauty but self-control, a cardinal contemporary virtue. What makes anorexia into a medical mystery as well as a person…

Indigenous Urbanism: Class, City and Society in Southeast Asia
While Southeast Asia revolves around its cities, scholarship spins off into disciplines that ignore this fact. In a region that has known cities for two millennia, where even remote peoples have shaped themselves to or against urban rule, research goes on as if the city were an alien entity, easily factored out and best forgotten. So village studies represent these city-centred nations, and few wonder if the entrepreneurs and middle class who now…
Agricultural Change and Ethnic Succession in Southeast Asian States: A Case for Regional Anthropology
In the first millennium A.D. mainland Southeast Asia's first great states arise, but then in the span of a few centuries these Indianized realms collapse and their Pyu, Mon, Khmer, and Cham peoples decline. In their place Burmese, Tai, and Vietnamese states arise and go on to rule the mainland as their peoples come to dominate the second millennium. Case by case these shifts appear to be ethnic and political successions wherein the strong displac…
Interpreting Thai Religious Change: Temples, Sangha Reform and Social Change
Thai religion is changing. So is Thai society. To most scholars the connection is obvious: social and especially material changes drive religious ones. So a new middle class causes religious ferment while a crisis in legitimacy explains a militant Buddhist movement as well as the fervour for amulets and forest monks. Such explanations are typical in using extra-religious current events to explain religious change. We need not dispute their specif…

Law as Indigenous Social Theory: A Siamese Thai case
Anthropologists often treat law as a discrete subject classified with politics and power and studied by nomothetic constructs. This treatment presupposes the place of law in society and denies history. To see law as a culturally constituted mode of analysis that projects an indigenous theory of society is to view a society in its own idiographic terms, and thereby demonstrate that it need not fit pre-established classification and constructs. Tra…
