  • Emerging Research on Potential Health Effects of Electronic Cigarettes Secondhand Exposure Flavorings
    Emerging Research on Potential Health Effects of Electronic Cigarettes The proposed Orange County Board of Health rule to prohibit use in enclosed areas of restaurants and bars is primarily concerned with preventing secondhand exposure and not with the role of e-cigarettes on smoking promotion vs. cessation. Therefore, the research cited below focuses on the chemical composition of e-liquids and aerosol, toxicology studies, the potential for secondhand exposure, and documented health effects. There are additional bodies of research on the effectiveness and safety of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation that are not listed here. The emerging body of research on e-cigarettes suggests that emitted aerosol may contain potentially harmful chemicals in addition to nicotine or other drugs. Secondhand Exposure Research demonstrates the potential for secondhand exposure to e-cigarette aerosol through biomarkers of nicotine exposure, as well as through studies done in controlled indoor conditions. Ballbé M, Martínez-Sánchez JM. (2014). Cigarettes vs. E-Cigarettes: Passive Exposure at Home Measured by Means of Airborne Marker and Biomarkers. Environmental Research. 135:76–80. This study showed that non-smokers passively exposed to e-cigarettes absorb nicotine. This study characterized passive exposure to nicotine from e-cigarette vapor and conventional cigarette smoke at home among non-smokers under real-use conditions. The airborne markers were statistically higher in conventional cigarette homes than in e-cigarettes homes (5.7 times higher). However, concentrations of both biomarkers among non- smokers exposed to conventional cigarette smoke and e-cigarette vapor were statistically similar (only 2 and 1.4 times higher, respectively).The levels of airborne nicotine and cotinine concentrations in the homes with e-cigarette users were statistically higher than control homes.

  • Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames
    Conventions Were Outraged: Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2014 © Kristen Kelly Ames, 2014 ii ABSTRACT The dissertation traces intersections among subjectivity, gender, desire, and nation in English country house novels from 1921 to 1949. Inter-war and wartime fiction by Daphne du Maurier, Virginia Woolf, Nancy Mitford, P. G. Wodehouse, Elizabeth Bowen, and Evelyn Waugh performs and critiques conventional domestic ideals and, by extension, interrupts the discourses of power that underpin militaristic political certainties. I consider country house novels to be campy endorsements of the English home, in which characters can reimagine, but not escape, their roles within mythologized domestic and national spaces. The Introduction correlates theoretical critiques of nationalism, class, and gender to illuminate continuities among the naïve patriotism of the country house novel and its ironic figurations of rigid class and gender categories. Chapter 1 provides generic and critical contexts through a study of du Maurier’s Rebecca, in which the narrator’s subversion of social hierarchies relies upon the persistence, however ironic, of patriarchal nationalism. That queer desire is the necessary center around which oppressive norms operate only partially mitigates their force. Chapter 2 examines figures of absence in “A Haunted House,” To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. Woolf’s queering of the country house novel relies upon her Gothic figuration of Englishness, in which characters are only included within nationalist spaces by virtue of their exclusion.
