Dimensions underlying legislator support for tobacco control policies
Based on our analyses, legislator support for tobacco control policies can be grouped according to our a priori factor model. The information gained from this work can help advocates understand how legislators think about different types of tobacco control policies. This could lead to the development of more effective advocacy strategies
What the public thinks about the tobacco industry and its products
Although Ontarians are ambivalent toward tobacco industry denormalisation, they are supportive of some measures. Mass media programmes aimed at increasing support for tobacco industry denormalisation and continued monitoring of public attitudes toward this strategy are needed
Institutional addiction to tobacco
As the health toll from tobacco use mounts worldwide,1 ,2 policy makers, programme personnel, and researchers are focusing more on the tobacco industry as the “underlying cause” of the tobacco epidemic.3 ,4 To mitigate growing public opposition, the tobacco industry attempts to buy respectability and social legitimacy.5-8 In the process, not only does it addict consumers to its lethal product, but it addicts institutions to a portion of its profi…
Smoking in the home
OBJECTIVES: Trends in attitudes and current practices concerning smoking in the home were examined. METHODS: Data from population-based surveys of adults in Ontario, Canada, were analyzed. RESULTS: Between 1992 and 1996, the percentage of respondents who agreed that parents spending time at home with small children should not smoke increased from 51% to 70%. In 1996, 34% of the homes surveyed were smoke-free. Smoke-free homes were associated with…
Smoking in the workplace
Restrictions on smoking and smoking patterns reflected the legislative environment; a more stringent environment was associated with more restrictions and less smoking at work
Quitting smoking
These findings support a multifaceted approach to tobacco control
An evaluation of the workplace smoking bylaw in the city of Toronto
Random-digit dialing surveys were conducted before (n = 1543) and 8 to 9 months after (n = 1430) implementation of the city of Toronto workplace smoking bylaw. Compared with workers in the rest of metropolitan Toronto and persons not working outside the home, city workers evidenced more positive changes in regard to knowledge of the bylaw, its requirements, and enforcement provisions. City workers reported more changes in workplace restrictions a…
The Education of White Elites in South Africa
One of the best indicators of the character of an elite is its educational background. From this it can be determined whether elite positions are available to all in open competition or whether they are earmarked for only a few with a certain social and educational background. The high proportion of British elites, for example, who, until very recently had attended the English public schools and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge points to …
