  • The Association of Exposure to Point-of-Sale Tobacco Marketing with Quit Attempt and Quit Success

    Open AccessMohammad Siahpush, Raees A Shaikh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    The aim was to assess the association of exposure to point-of-sale (POS) tobacco marketing with quit attempt and quit success in a prospective study of smokers in the United States. Data were collected via telephone-interview on exposure to POS tobacco marketing, sociodemographic and smoking-related variables from 999 smokers in Omaha, Nebraska, in the United States. Exposure to POS tobacco marketing was measured by asking respondents three quest…

  • Awareness, Trial, and Current Use of Electronic Cigarettes in 10 Countries

    Open AccessShannon Gravely, Geoffrey T Fong et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2014

    The cross-country variability in awareness, trial, and current use of e-cigarettes is likely due to a confluence of country-specific market factors, tobacco control policies and regulations (e.g., the legal status of e-cigarettes and nicotine), and the survey timing along the trajectory of e-cigarette awareness and trial/use in each country. These ITC results constitute an important snapshot of an early stage of what appears to be a rapid progres…

  • Toxic Metal Concentrations in Cigarettes Obtained from U.S. Smokers in 2009

    Open AccessRosalie Caruso, Richard J O’connor et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2013

    Smoking-related diseases can be attributed to the inhalation of many different toxins, including heavy metals, which have a host of detrimental health effects. The current study reports the levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) in cigarettes obtained from adult smokers participating in the 2009 wave of the ITC United States Survey (N = 320). The mean As, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb levels were 0.17, 0.86, 2.35, 2.…

  • How to access tobacco industry documents

    Geoffrey Ferris Wayne, Reynolds Reynolds et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2002

    Context: Internal industry documents may shed light on how cigarettes are designed to promote youth smoking

    Pamela M Ling, Anne Landman et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2002

  • Price, public policy and smoking in young people

    Eugene M Lewit, E Lewit et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    Policies limiting access to tobacco by young people, increasing education about the effects of tobacco use, and a sharp and sustained increase in real cigarette excise taxes are likely to be most successful in accomplishing the US Food and Drug Administration's goal of cutting the smoking prevalence of adolescents in half over the next seven years

  • Relationship on worksite smoking policy on changes in employee tobacco use

    Russell E Glasgow, R Glasgow et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    These data, from one of the largest and longest smoking cessation studies to date, add support to the conclusion that smoke-free worksite policies help employees to reduce or discontinue use of tobacco

  • Comparisons of recent trends in adolescent and adult cigarette smoking behaviour and brand preferences

    K Michael Cummings, K Cummings et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    Smoking prevalence rates have increased among teenagers, but have dropped among adults in the same communities. Among adolescents who smoke, and buy their own cigarettes, the three most heavily advertised brands--Marlboro, Camel, and Newport--have a substantially higher market concentration than among adult smokers

  • Discrepancies in cigarette brand sales and adult market share

    K Michael Cummings, K Cummings et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    Most smokers are brand loyal. Price seems to be an important factor motivating brand switching among adult smokers. It appears that recruitment of new customers among the ranks of non-smokers is necessary for premium cigarette brands such as Marlboro and Camel to maintain sales comparable to previous years

  • Use of the nicotine skin patch by smokers in 20 communities in the United States, 1992-1993

    K Michael Cummings, K Cummings et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    The nicotine skin patch is a popular and effective means of smoking cessation. Use of the nicotine patch, especially by low-income smokers, could be increased by reducing the out-of-pocket expenditure required for smokers to get the product

  • Predictors of smoking cessation in a cohort of adult smokers followed for five years

    Norman Hymowitz, K Michael Cummings et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    Despite the fact that most smokers expressed a strong desire to stop smoking in 1988, the majority, especially the most dependent heavy smokers (>25 cigarettes/day), struggled unsuccessfully to achieve this goal

  • Use of discount cigarettes by smokers in 20 communities in the United States, 1988-1993

    K Michael Cummings, K Cummings et al.ARTICLETobacco Control1997

    The availability of discount/generic cigarettes has made smoking more affordable, which most likely has helped the cigarette industry retain customers sensitive to price, who might have otherwise reduced consumption or stop smoking altogether

  • Workplace health hazards

    Julia Quint, Margaret A Handley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1990References: 2

    Between 1981-1986 a state-based occupational health telephone hotline received more than 8,000 inquiries on over 3,000 hazardous agents. Major caller groups were employees (37%), employers (20%), health care providers, primarily physicians (19%), government agencies (12%), and labor unions (6%). Employees were the fastest growing caller group. Callers inquired about general health hazards of chemicals (65%), the relation of symptoms to work (22%)…
