  • Cigarette pricing 1 year after new restrictions on tobacco industry retailer programmes in Quebec, Canada

    Cynthia Callard, Cynthia D Callard et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2019

    Recent restrictions on tobacco industry incentive programmes for retailers have not ended price differentiation. Tobacco manufacturers' and retailers' pricing policies continue to provide price-sensitive smokers with ways to avoid the impact of tobacco tax increases

  • The ‘common knowledge’ of Quebecers: Quantifying the evidence of historians testifying for defendant tobacco companies

    Cynthia CallardARTICLETobacco Control2015

    The 'common knowledge' defence is a legal strategy which has been successfully used by defendant tobacco companies to avoid legal responsibility for the harms caused by smoking. Tobacco companies have hired professional historians to try to persuade courts about a longstanding high level of public awareness regarding the risks of tobacco use. To support this argument, they have used archival news clippings and media reports. Two historians were h…

  • Tobacco control and the World Trade Organization: Mapping member states’ positions after the framework convention on tobacco control

    Jappe Eckhardt, Chris Holden et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2015

    The growing prominence of tobacco issues in the WTO can be attributed at least in part to the fact that during the past decade tobacco firms have been marginalised from the domestic policy-making process in many countries, which has forced them to look for other ways and forums to influence decision-making. Furthermore, the finding that almost all recent opposition within the WTO to stronger tobacco regulations came from developing countries is c…

  • Supply-side options for an endgame for the tobacco industry

    Open AccessCynthia Callard, Cynthia D Callard et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2013

    Although governments have imposed controls on tobacco company behaviour, they have not yet aligned tobacco industry goals to public health objectives. As a result, tobacco companies have delayed or diminished the impact of imposed public health measures and have not contributed to curbing the epidemic of tobacco use. Over the past decade, several regulatory innovations have been proposed as ways to better align industry actions with public health…

  • Exploring vector space: Overcoming resistance to direct control of the tobacco industry

    Cynthia Callard, Neil Collishaw et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2012

    Within the epidemiological framework that describes the relationship of smokers (host), cigarettes (agent), tobacco companies (vector) and environment,1 both the agent and the vector are man-made and, in theory, controllable. Nonetheless, the smoking pandemic is expected to claim one billion lives in this century, even among people who are not yet born.2 With a preventable problem that is not being prevented, our disease strategy is arguably in n…

  • Follow the money: How the billions of dollars that flow from smokers in poor nations to companies in rich nations greatly exceed funding for global tobacco control and what might be done about it

    Cynthia CallardARTICLETobacco Control2010

    The business of selling cigarettes is increasingly concentrated in the hands of five tobacco companies that collectively control almost 90% of the world's cigarette market, four of which are publicly traded corporations. The economic activities of these cigarette manufacturers can be monitored through their reports to shareholders and other public documents. Reports for 2008 show that the revenues of these five companies exceeded $300 billion, of…

  • Tobacco on campus: Industry marketing and tobacco control policy among post-secondary institutions in Canada

    D Hammond, I Tremblay et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2005

    Post-secondary institutions in Canada remain tobacco friendly environments. Without increased direction and support from the public health community, post-secondary institutions will continue to lag behind, rather than lead current policy standards

  • Tobacco control: Comparative politics in the United States and Canada

    Cynthia CallardARTICLETobacco Control2003

    By D T Studlar, Broadview Press, 2002, US$19.95, CDN$29.95, £14.99, ISBN: 1-55111-456-9. Although tobacco control is a multidisciplinary field, it is one that is practised by considerably fewer political scientists than health practitioners, lawyers or economists. For that reason alone, Donley Studlar’s examination of the development of tobacco control measures in the USA and Canada is a noteworthy contribution. There are many reasons other than …

  • Why trade and investment liberalisation may threaten effective tobacco control efforts

    Cynthia Callard, Hatai Chitanondh et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2001

    Trade and investment liberalisation in tobacco products offers no benefits for tobacco control. Thus, if trade and investment liberalisation—as embodied in international agreements or viewed as an economic process—may harm tobacco control, as we believe it might, then trade and investment liberalisation in tobacco is an unhealthy and inappropriate public policy. We support the resolution of the 11th World Conference on Tobacco or Health that call…
