The Changing Tobacco Landscape: What Dental Professionals Need to Know
HHS Public Access Author manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author J Am Dent Manuscript Author Assoc. Author Manuscript Author manuscript; available in PMC 2017 July 01. Published in final edited form as: J Am Dent Assoc. 2016 July ; 147(7): 561–569. doi:10.1016/j.adaj.2016.01.008. The Changing Tobacco Landscape: What Dental Professionals Need To Know Elizabeth T. Couch, MS, RDH1, Benjamin W. Chaffee, DDS, MPH, PhD1, Stuart A. Gansky, MS, DrPH1, and Margaret M. Walsh, MS, MA, EdD, RDH1 1Department of Preventive and Restorative Dental Sciences, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, USA 94143-1361 Abstract Background—Recently, the range of tobacco products available in the United States and the patterns of tobacco product use have changed. While cigarette smoking prevalence has declined, dental professionals are likely to encounter many more users of new and alternative tobacco products among their patients. Approach—This paper reviews conventional and new tobacco products currently available, their adverse oral and systemic health effects, and their prevalence of use in the US. Results—Tobacco products other than cigarettes currently account for a substantial portion of tobacco use. For this reason, tobacco prevention and cessation counseling provided by dental professionals must address all tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, waterpipes (hookahs), and electronic cigarettes, as well as conventional and new smokeless tobacco products. Cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use are associated with immediate and long-term adverse health effects, including nicotine addiction, oral and systemic disease, and death. Novel products may attract new tobacco users, potentially leading to addiction that results in enduring tobacco product use and associated adverse health effects. -

Public education efforts are needed to communicate with these populations about cigarillo use risks, but little is known about the implications of using the term “cigarillo” in such efforts. The study goal was to assess adolescent and young adult perceptions of the term “cigarillo”. We conducted a nationally representative online survey of 3517 adolescents and young adults (ages 13–25). We asked participants “what is a cigarillo?” with several response options. Participants were 49.6% female, 69.8% white, 5.2% reported past 30-day cigarillo use, and 11.6% reported lifetime cigarillo use. The most common response to the question “what is a cigarillo” was “I don’t know” (51% of participants), followed by “a thinner and smaller version of a traditional cigar” (30.1% of participants), which was Citation: Cornacchione Ross, J.; chosen by 19.4% of adolescents and 36.8% of young adults. -

Curating Employee Ethics: Self-Glory Amidst Slow Violence at the China
MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01459740.2016.1174227 Curating Employee Ethics: Self-Glory Amidst Slow Violence at The China Tobacco Museum Matthew Kohrman Department of Anthropology, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS Seen through the prism of public health, the cigarette industry is an Biopolitics; corporation; apparatus of death. To those who run it, however, it is something more ethics; museum; tobacco prosaic: a workplace comprised of people whose morale is to be shep- herded. Provisioning employees of the cigarette industry with psychic scaffolding to carry out effective daily work is a prime purpose of the China Tobacco Museum. This multistoried exhibition space in Shanghai is a technology of self, offering a carefully curated history of cigarette production thematized around tropes such as employee exaltation. Designed to anchor and vitalize the ethical outlook of those working for the world’s most prolific cigarette conglomerate, the museum is a striking illustration that industrial strongholds of ‘slow violence’ produce their own forms of self-care. China’s current building boom, often chided for effacing history, has been notably productive for at least one category of institutional memory making. During the past decade, hundreds of new museums have been built across the country (Xinhua 2012). One, on Changyang Road in the middle of Shanghai, appears decidedly out of place; its façade seems more at home in Mexico than China. Passing it initially, viewers may be lulled into believing they are seeing a replica of El Castillo, a famed site in the Yucatan. Replete with fortified grey windowless walls, a hefty external stone staircase, hieroglyphic-like carvings, and totem poles, the building is obviously a play on a Mayan temple.
