Abstract This thesis undertakes a comparative analysis of ceramic and stone pipes recovered from eight archaeological sites located near present day Arkona, Ontario. Commonly known as the Arkona Cluster, these sites date to between A.D. 1000 and 1280 during the early Late Woodland Period and are thought to be part of a borderland region between distinct cultural groups known as the Western Basin Younge Phase and the Early Ontario Iroquoians. Using a combination of distribution and attribute data from each site’s pipe assemblage, I explore how the similarities and differences observed can be used to draw insights into the potential relations between the sites and how they relate to a larger regional context of identity formation, territorialization and intergroup interaction and exchange.

  • Raising the Minimum Legal Sale Age for Tobacco and Relate
    Raising the Minimum Legal Sales Age for Tobacco / 1 Tips & Tools Raising the Minimum Legal Sales Age for Tobacco and Related Products The Tobacco Control Legal Consortium has created this series of legal technical assistance guides to serve as a starting point for organizations interested in implementing certain tobacco control measures. We encourage you to consult with local legal counsel before attempting to implement these measures.1 For more details about these policy considerations, please contact the Consortium. Background All states in the U.S. have laws prohibiting retailers from selling tobacco products to minors. In most states, the minimum legal sales age (MLSA) for tobacco products is 18, but a few states have raised it to 19. Recently, Hawaii became the first state to raise the MLSA to 21.2 As of September 2015, over 100 localities in nine states have raised the MLSA to 213– including New York City, which in November 2013 became the first major city in the U.S. to raise its tobacco sales age to 21.4 In 2015, the Institute of Medicine released a report containing compelling evidence of the significant public health benefits of raising the tobacco sales age.5 The Institute conducted an exhaustive study of existing literature on tobacco use patterns, developmental biology and psychology, health effects of tobacco use, and national youth access laws, and mathematical modeling to predict the likely public health outcomes of raising the minimum legal sales age for tobacco products to 19, 21 and 25 years. The report found that an increased tobacco sales age helps delay smoking initiation among youth, which leads to lower smoking prevalence rates, saving millions of dollars in health care costs as well as significantly increasing not just the length, but also the quality of life, across populations.

  • Policy to Increase the Minimum Legal Sales Age for Tobacco from 18 to 21
    A Policy to Increase the Minimum Legal Sales Age for Tobacco and Nicotine Products from 18 to 21: Health Equity Implications T21 Policy Health Equity Impact Assessment Technical Report June 2017 The Multnomah County’s 2016 Community Health Improvement Plan’s (CHIP) fourth health equity priority is to Support Family and Community Ways. The CHIP report explains that to be truly healthy, there must be a balance of wellness in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The social context in which individuals live must also be well in order to support the individual in attaining optimal health. This HEIA report aligns with the content of that goal - suggesting that families and communities must function in positive ways, mutually supporting and reinforcing strengths and resiliency in the face of challenging external circumstances, in order for individuals to thrive1. For more information about the HEIA, contact Clay River at [email protected] or Kelly Gonzales at [email protected] 1 Acknowledgements This Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) is sponsored by the Oregon Health Equity Alliance (OHEA) with support from Multnomah County through an Oregon Health Authority funded grant: Strategies for Policy Systems and Environmental Change. The Native American Youth and Family Center led the HEIA with support from Upstream Public Health. OHEA is a group of more than 44 organizations seeking to make Oregon a more equitable place for all.

  • Where We Stand: Raising the Tobacco Age to 21
    Where we stand: Raising the tobacco age to 21 OCTOBER 2017 Truth Initiative® strongly supports raising the minimum age of sale for all tobacco products to 21 as part of a strong tobacco control policy program. Tobacco remains the number one cause of preventable death and disease in this country, with nearly 500,000 premature deaths a year due to tobacco use.1 In 2014, the Surgeon General estimated that if tobacco use trends remain on this path, 5.6 million U.S. youth will die prematurely due to smoking.1 Truth Initiative is committed to creating a world where tobacco is a thing of the past and achieving a culture where youth and young adults reject tobacco. Because most tobacco users start before age 18, and nearly all start before 26,1 reducing youth access to tobacco is a key tool in accomplishing our mission. For that reason, we support raising the minimum age of sale for all tobacco products to 21. Tobacco use among youth has long been a concern because of the harms inherently associated with tobacco use. Evidence suggests that nicotine use during adolescence and young adulthood has long term impacts on brain development,2 and may make it more difficult to quit using tobacco later.3 While we have made great strides in reducing both youth and young adult cigarette smoking nationwide, every day more than 3,200 youth smoke their first cigarette and another 2,100 youth and young adult occasional smokers become daily smokers.1 Young adulthood is also a critical time of development and experimentation.

This inventory, better known as Tophane pipe making, came out in a large part of the Ottoman Empire in different ways according to its period, region and production style. In a short span of time, tobacco spread to a large part of the empire, was first consumed as a remedy and soon after as a stimulating substance. The variety in the usage of opium, the consumption of wine despite its being banned, and especially the excessive consumption of coffee by almost everyone paved the way for tobacco.
