Building an analytical framework for tobacco-related information on social media: An exploratory analysis with generative AI assistance
This study offers a comprehensive framework for analyzing tobacco-related information on social media, emphasizing key issues in policy debates and the presence of conspiracy narratives. This framework can inform the design of interventions for less informed populations and enhance data annotation for machine learning tasks
Tobacco industry efforts to harness the voice and influence of community organisations
The Tobacco Institute used tactics identified in previous research on third-party industry allies to build a partnership with LULAC. Tobacco companies use similar practices in the 21st century. Our findings suggest a need for transparency regarding industry funding of community organisations given its potential to influence them in ways that promote health harms
Heated tobacco products likely appeal to adolescents and young adults
PMI's own data and available evidence from scientific studies conducted independent of the tobacco industry regarding how novel tobacco products are currently being marketed suggest that introduction of IQOS will result in adolescent and young adult non-users initiating tobacco use with IQOS and could also increase poly-use of IQOS along with other tobacco products
Iqos labelling will mislead consumers
Consumers will not understand the condition of the claims-that they must quit using cigarettes completely to achieve the inferred health benefits of IQOS. Rather, they are likely to misunderstand the unsupported claims of reduced risks to mean IQOS are harm-free
Dual use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and smoked tobacco: A qualitative analysis
Dual use reflects both social and physical cues. It assisted participants to navigate smoking restrictions and allowed them to manage divergent norms. Policies that discourage smoking, particularly excise tax increases on smoked tobacco and smoke-free space restrictions, appear important in prompting ENDS use. Future research could explore whether these policies also help foster complete transition from smoking to exclusive ENDS use
A geographically explicit ecological momentary assessment (Gema) mixed method for understanding substance use
Tobacco use is increasingly concentrated within marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ young adults. Developing tailored interventions to reduce tobacco-related health disparities requires understanding the mechanisms linking individual and contextual factors associated with tobacco use to behavior. This paper presents an in-depth exploration of three cases from a novel mixed method study designed to identify the situational factors and place-base…
Smoke-Free Laws and Hazardous Drinking: A Cross-Sectional Study among U.S. Adults
Tobacco and alcohol use are strongly associated. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship of smoke-free law coverage and smoke-free bar law coverage with hazardous drinking behaviors among a representative sample of U.S. adult drinkers ( n = 17,057). We merged 2009 National Health Interview Survey data, American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation U.S. Tobacco Control Laws Database, and Census Population Estimates. Hazardous drinking outcom…
New Product Marketing Blurs the Line Between Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Smokeless Tobacco Products
Tobacco companies have begun to acquire pharmaceutical subsidiaries and recently started to market nicotine replacement therapies, such as Zonnic nicotine gum, in convenience stores. Conversely, tobacco companies are producing tobacco products such as tobacco chewing gum and lozenges that resemble pharmaceutical nicotine replacement products, including a nicotine pouch product that resembles snus pouches. This convergence of nicotine and tobacco …
