  • The policy implementation playbook

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Karen Evans-Reeves et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Tobacco industry interference during policy development is well documented, yet evidence on how the industry responds after policies are adopted and enter into force remains fragmented across policy domains and jurisdictions. This study systematically examines post-adoption tobacco industry conduct across key tobacco control measures and develops a cross-policy taxonomy of post-adoption tactics. We conducted as scoping review and qual…

  • Reducing the exceptional affordability of hand-rolling tobacco using tax escalators

    Open AccessR Chen, Ryan Kai Le Chen et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2026

    Sustained duty increases on the least expensive tobacco products could deliver substantial public health gains and reduce health inequalities. Such measures should coincide with strong enforcement against illicit tobacco and comprehensive smoking cessation support

  • Flue-cured tobacco in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, Britta Matthes et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2026

    FCV increases the addictiveness of tobacco products and threatens the Miombo ecosystem in southern Africa. Restrictions on the use of flue-cured leaf in tobacco products have the potential to reduce demand for cigarettes and support the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control's Articles 17 and 18

  • The tobacco industry at the health–environment nexus

    Open AccessPornpichar Lomngam, Rosemary Hiscock et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    The sharp rise in ‘disposable’, or single-use, e-cigarettes in the UK—especially among young people—has raised urgent public health and environmental concerns. Manufacturers, including transnational tobacco companies (TTCs), have faced criticism for designing and marketing products that appeal to youth and have a considerable environmental footprint. In response, a UK-wide ban on single-use e-cigarettes was implemented in June 2025. While industr…

  • The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill (2023/4)

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Tess Legg et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2025

    When faced with tobacco endgame and nicotine control policies in the UK, tobacco and nicotine industries pushed back using framing strategies common to health-harming industries. Despite contradicting their 'transformation' narratives, TTCs still sought to position themselves as public health actors deserving policy access. Advocates, researchers and policymakers can anticipate opposition to endgame policies-such as a generational sales ban-and N…

  • The ‘filter fraud’ persists

    Open AccessKaren Evans-Reeves, Kathrin Lauber et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Despite being labelled the “deadliest fraud in the history of human civilisation”,1 filter tips now feature on almost every mass-produced cigarette smoked across the globe.2 After filters first appeared in the 1860s as an attempt to protect against tobacco flakes entering the mouth,3 the tobacco industry introduced modern cellulose acetate cigarette filters in the 1950s to alleviate public concerns about smoking-related lung cancer.4 Filters and …

  • Quantile regression of tobacco tax pass-through in the UK 2013–2019. How have manufacturers passed through tax changes for different tobacco products

    Open AccessLuke Wilson, Luke B Wilson et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2020

    Following the repeated introduction of increases in specific tobacco tax as well as standardised packaging, we show that the tobacco industry applies techniques to keep the cheapest tobacco cheaper relative to the more expensive products when passing on tax increases to smokers

  • Longitudinal evaluation of the impact of standardised packaging and minimum excise tax on tobacco sales and industry revenue in the UK

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, Nicole H Augustin et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2020

    The concurrent introduction of standardised packaging and MET in the UK was associated with significant decline in sales and in tobacco industry revenues, and the end of the previous growth in cheap cigarette brands that appeal to young and price conscious smokers

  • Tobacco industry tactics to circumvent and undermine the menthol cigarette ban in the UK

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, Karin Silver et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2020

    Menthol, a type of alcohol (molecular formula C10H20O), can be obtained from mint plants or manufactured.1 2 In addition to flavouring, it has local anaesthetic properties that can conceal the negative sensations of smoking, due to desensitising receptors.1 3 Menthol cigarettes increase overall smoke intake, but mask early respiratory disease symptoms, reducing the chance of quitting.4–6 Smoking menthol cigarettes also may raise nicotine intake, …

  • Cigarette-like cigarillo introduced to bypass taxation, standardised packaging, minimum pack sizes, and menthol ban in the UK

    Open AccessJ Robert Branston, Rosemary Hiscock et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2020

    The UK has stringent tobacco control legislation, which has been extended most recently to include standardised packaging with minimum pack sizes,1 and from 20 May 2020, a ban on menthol.2 3 However, this legislation applies only to cigarettes and roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco. In January 2020, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) launched a new product onto the market that bypasses these laws. Sterling Dual Capsule Leaf Wrapped (figure 1) are officia…

  • UK tobacco price increases

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2019

    The industry has increased its prices beyond that required by tax changes, even when tax rises were larger and unexpected, although were notably smaller in such conditions. This suggests (1) that the industry is not actually concerned by the threat of illicit, especially since RYO had the highest levels of industry driven price increases despite higher levels of illicit, and (2) there remains scope for further tax increases, which should be relat…

  • Individualised tobacco affordability in the UK 2002–2014

    Open AccessTimea Partos, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    An individualised measure of tobacco affordability provided useful insights on the impact of tobacco taxes, social inequalities and purchase patterns in the UK. Although tobacco became less affordable, the annual rate of decline was low, suggesting annual tax rises were not large enough

  • Tobacco industry strategies undermine government tax policy

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2017

    The TI currently uses a variety of strategies to keep tobacco cheap. The implementation of standardised packaging will prevent small pack sizes and price-marking but further changes in tax policy are needed to minimise the TI's attempts to prevent sudden price increases

  • Do Climate Change Policies Promote or Conflict with Subjective Wellbeing

    Open AccessMiaomiao Liu, Yining Huang et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    As public expectations for health rise, health measurements broaden from a focus on death, disease, and disability to wellbeing. However, wellbeing hasn't been incorporated into the framework of climate change policy decision-making in Chinese cities. Based on survey data (n = 763) from Suzhou, this study used Generalized Estimation Equation approach to model external conditions associated with wellbeing. Then, semi-quantitative analyses were con…

  • English Stop-Smoking Services

    Open AccessLinda Bauld, Rosemary Hiscock et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    The UK is a global leader in stop-smoking support-providing free behavioral support and cessation medication via stop smoking services (SSS) without charge to smokers. This study aimed to explore the client and service characteristics associated with abstinence 52 weeks after quitting. A prospective cohort study of 3057 SSS clients in nine different areas of England who began their quit attempt between March 2012 and March 2013 was conducted. Imp…

  • Views from the Coalface

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, Linda Bauld et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    The UK Stop Smoking Services (SSS) are a source of information and advice on e-cigarettes for smokers and thus it is important to understand the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, e-cigarettes held by stop smoking practitioners. The datasets were English SSS quarterly monitoring returns (n = 207,883) and an online survey of English SSS practitioners, managers, and commissioners between 26th November and 15th December 2014 (n = 1801). SSS monito…

  • Development of a Quantitative Methodology to Assess the Impacts of Urban Transport Interventions and Related Noise on Well-Being

    Open AccessMatthias Braubach, Myriam Tobollik et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    Well-being impact assessments of urban interventions are a difficult challenge, as there is no agreed methodology and scarce evidence on the relationship between environmental conditions and well-being. The European Union (EU) project "Urban Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China and Europe" (URGENCHE) explored a methodological approach to assess traffic noise-related well-being impacts of transport interventions in three European cities …

  • Socioeconomic status and smoking

    Open AccessRosemary Hiscock, Linda Bauld et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the New York Academy of…2012

    Smoking prevalence is higher among disadvantaged groups, and disadvantaged smokers may face higher exposure to tobacco's harms. Uptake may also be higher among those with low socioeconomic status (SES), and quit attempts are less likely to be successful. Studies have suggested that this may be the result of reduced social support for quitting, low motivation to quit, stronger addiction to tobacco, increased likelihood of not completing courses of…

  • Why We Should Want to “Subsidize Losers’ Mortgages”

  • Do smoking cessation programmes influence geographical inequalities in health? An evaluation of the impact of the Pegs programme in Christchurch, New Zealand

    Rosemary Hiscock, J Pearce et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2009

    Although enrolees were drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds, those most likely to quit tended to reside in affluent areas or areas with a low proportion of Māori. There was no evidence that this smoking cessation programme increased or decreased inequalities within the Christchurch population. For smoking cessation programmes to have an impact on health inequalities more effort is required in targeting hard-to-reach groups and in encouraging …

  • The neighbourhood effects of geographical access to tobacco retailers on individual smoking behaviour

    Jamie Pearce, Rosemary Hiscock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2009Citada por: 11Referências: 39

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether neighbourhood measures of geographical accessibility to outlets selling tobacco (supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations) are associated with individual smoking behaviour in New Zealand. METHODS: Using geographical information systems, travel times from the population-weighted centroid of each neighbourhood to the closest outlet selling tobacco were calculated for all 38,350 neighbourhoods across New…

  • Mixing Housing Tenures

    Open AccessElspeth Graham, David Manley et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2009Citada por: 33Referências: 32

    Mixing tenures is now a widely accepted policy designed to tackle problems of social exclusion in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. However, the evidence base for mixing tenures is fragmented and ambiguous. With few exceptions, studies of mixed-tenure effects have been small, one-off investigations of individual communities, providing only a rudimentary basis for comparative evaluation. In attempting to address these issues, a national-level, ecologi…
