Perceptions of Health Risks and Accessibility
The prevalence of e-cigarette use (vaping) in young adults is concerning, particularly because the initiation of combustible tobacco use is higher in e-cigarette vapers. It is unclear why young, never-smoker vapers decide to start smoking cigarettes, but they may be influenced by perceptions of health risks and accessibility. We designed a social media questionnaire to assess factors driving the initiation of combustible tobacco use by e-cigarett…

Dual Use of Cannabis with Tobacco Is Associated with Increased Sugary Food and Drink Intake in Young People
Rates of cannabis initiation among teenagers and young adults are increasing. Further, the use of various forms of cannabis (smoked or vaped) with nicotine (dual use) is increasingly common among young people. The health effects of dual use are lesser known, particularly in the context of high-potency cannabis products and across different routes of administration, which is ominous in terms of predicting future health outcomes. There is a long hi…
A Tale of Two Bigamists
Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s novel of sensation, Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), adapts the earlier novella by Aphra Behn, The History of the Nun, or the Fair Vow-Breaker (1689). Both narratives consider
Impulsivity-Related Personality Traits as Predictors of E-Cigarette Use among Young Adults over Time
Introduction: There has been rising concern about e-cigarette usage among teenagers and young adults. As knowledge about the adverse health effects of e-cigarettes accumulates, it is critical to identify factors that may increase risk of vaping initiation and frequency of use. One potential risk factor known to increase risk for other substance use is impulsivity. This study tested the hypothesis that impulsivity prospectively predicts vaping ove…
Proposition 187 and the Travel Ban
The ideology of white Christian nationalism has become increasingly visible in the United States. This ideology intersects with public debate over immigration, posing a threat both to immigrants’ well-being and to American ideals of democracy. This essay considers how religious leaders in primarily white Christian communities addressed two historical moments related to immigration in the U.S.: Proposition 187 in California, and the “travel ban” i…
Deleterious Association of Inhalant Use on Sleep Quality during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic generated large amounts of stress across the globe. While acute stress negatively impacts health, defining exact consequences and behavioral interventions can be difficult. We hypothesized that a generalized increase in stress and anxiety caused by continuation of the global pandemic would negatively impact sleep quality and that ever users of e-cigarettes and conventional tobacco would have more profound alterations over ti…
Christian Realism and the State as Idol
At a time of outspoken nationalism, Christian realism accurately diagnoses idolatry of the state as a political and theological problem. The power of sovereign states protects self-determination but can allow states to unjustly oppress members of minority groups. From a Christian realist perspective, states’ power relative to other institutions can encourage religious idolatry, with citizens devoting their ultimate loyalty to a state. To mitigate…
Anne Conway’s Vitalism
One of the earliest English women writers in the late seventeenth century to take an interest in Vitalist philosophy was Anne Finch, Vicountess Conway (1631–79). Conway’s Prinicipia philosophiae an
(The Image Of) God in All of Us
This essay compares Sikh and Christian thought about and practices of hospitality in light of the global refugee crisis. It aims to show how both practices of hospitality, and religious ethical thought about hospitality, can be enhanced by dialogue between traditions. The refugee crisis arises out of a global failure of hospitality, and the type of hospitality refugees most fundamentally need is that which confers membership in a political commun…
Rewriting Pope’s Eloisa to Abelard
One of the many poetical “responses” by eighteenth-century writers to Alexander Pope’s Eloisa to Abelard (1717) was Judith Cowper’s Abelard to Eloisa (written 1720, published 1728), a poem that retells the story of the ill-fated French medieval lovers, Peter Abelard and Héloise. Replete with Eloisa’s erotic longings, frustration and yearnings both for her lover, Abelard, and God, Pope’s poem especially appealed to readers and writers throughout t…
