Who Will Deliver on the Promise
The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Core Competency Model aspires to rigorously train future leaders of public health practice to direct and advance societal efforts that address socially rooted causes of health and illness. Although there is no proven formula for success, 3 principles derived from practice may guide the way forward: (1) institutionalize mutual learning and reciprocity between schools of public health and public health agencies an…
Public Attitudes Regarding Banning of Cigarettes and Regulation of Nicotine
Knowledge of current public opinion is important as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) applies the best scientific evidence available to tobacco product regulation. Based on a nationally representative survey of the US adult population, we report 43% support for banning of cigarettes, 65% for reducing nicotine, and 77% for reducing nicotine if such an action could cause fewer children to become addicted to cigarettes. The FDA should consider …
Misinformation About Tobacco
In discussing responsibility as an ethical framework for public health (AJPH, July 2009), Turoldo1 suggests that the warning “Smoking kills” on cigarette packs represents an example of exaggerating negative consequences or the magnitude of problems. He argues that the label should more accurately say, “according to statistics, there is a certain probability of developing lung cancer through smoking, above all in people with a genetic predispositi…

This evidence-based smoking cessation program using behavioral counseling and combination pharmacotherapy was successful with entertainment industry workers
A Closer Look at Smoking Among Young Adults
Objectives. We sought to fill gaps in knowledge of smoking behaviors among college-educated and non–college-educated young adults. Methods. We used data from the 2003 Tobacco Use Supplement of the Current Population Survey to analyze smoking behaviors among young adults aged 18–24 years and older young adults aged 25–34 years by college status (enrolled, or with a degree, but not enrolled) and other measures of socioeconomic position. Results. Cu…
Evidence of a Dose—Response Relationship Between “truth” Antismoking Ads and Youth Smoking Prevalence
Objectives. In early 2000, the American Legacy Foundation launched the national “truth” campaign, the first national antismoking campaign to discourage tobacco use among youths. We studied the impact of the campaign on national smoking rates among US youths (students in grades 8, 10, and 12). Methods. We used data from the Monitoring the Future survey in a pre/post quasi-experimental design to relate trends in youth smoking prevalence to varied d…
Courage and Dignity
LINDA COSTIGAN STRUGGLED to quit smoking. She was finally successful—but only after she had been diagnosed with lung cancer. By then she had been smoking for 42 years. Although she could do little to save herself, Linda tried to do what she could to educate others about the hazards of smoking. She allowed the American Legacy Foundation to use her image and her brief but heartfelt letters to her daughter, J. C., her friend, Pat, and her granddaugh…
Getting to the Truth
Objectives. This study examines how the American Legacy Foundation's “truth” campaign and Philip Morris's “Think. Don't Smoke” campaign have influenced youths' attitudes, beliefs, and intentions toward tobacco. Methods. We analyzed 2 telephone surveys of 12- to 17-year-olds with multivariate logistic regressions: a baseline survey conducted before the launch of “truth” and a second survey 10 months into the “truth” campaign. Results. Exposure to …
