  • Marketing of Menthol Cigarettes and Consumer Perceptions Joshua Rising1*, Lori Alexander2
    Rising and Alexander Tobacco Induced Diseases 2011, 9(Suppl 1):S2 http://www.tobaccoinduceddiseases.com/content/9/S1/S2 REVIEW Open Access Marketing of menthol cigarettes and consumer perceptions Joshua Rising1*, Lori Alexander2 Abstract In order to more fully understand why individuals smoke menthol cigarettes, it is important to understand the perceptions held by youth and adults regarding menthol cigarettes. Perceptions are driven by many factors, and one factor that can be important is marketing. This review seeks to examine what role, if any, the marketing of menthol cigarettes plays in the formation of consumer perceptions of menthol cigarettes. The available literature suggests that menthol cigarettes may be perceived as safer choices than non-menthol cigarettes. Furthermore, there is significant overlap between menthol cigarette advertising campaigns and the perceptions of these products held by consumers. The marketing of menthol cigarettes has been higher in publications and venues whose target audiences are Blacks/African Americans. Finally, there appears to have been changes in cigarette menthol content over the past decade, which has been viewed by some researchers as an effort to attract different types of smokers. Review Summarized in this review are 35 articles found to The marketing of cigarettes is a significant expenditure have either direct relevance to these questions, or were for the tobacco industry; in 2006, the tobacco industry used to provide relevant background information.

    ADDRESSING THE TOBACCO EPIDEMIC IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES: BEST PRACTICES THAT REDUCE THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO ADVERTISING, PROMOTION AND SPONSORSHIP By LORNA MCLEOD ENGLISH (Under the Direction of Joel Lee) ABSTRACT Tobacco use is leading cause of preventable death in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2030 tobacco use will kill over 8 million people annually. Eighty percent of the world’s smokers now live in low and middle income countries (LMIC) compared to 20 percent in developed countries. A primary reason for increased smoking in these countries is the tobacco industry’s targeted and aggressive marketing of cigarettes; billions of dollars are spent annually on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (TAPS). In 2003, the WHO negotiated the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to prevent the death and disease associated with tobacco use. The FCTC treaty calls for countries to enact comprehensive policies that ban TAPS and inform their populations about dangers of tobacco use. The treaty is founded on proven interventions that countries can implement to protect their population from the epidemic. The objective of this research is to examine tobacco-related policies in LMIC to assess their impact on smoking behaviors. The first study reviewed the impact of TAPS exposure and anti-TAPS policies on students’ smoking behavior in African LMIC. The second study examined the impact of anti-TAPS policies and counter-tobacco messages on male smoking behavior in Thailand and Turkey. The findings suggest that there is an association between TAPS exposure and increased smoking and susceptibility in the youth studied.

INTRODUCTION For many, smoking a cigarette while enjoying a drink while out at a bar or restaurant are activities that go hand in hand.1 Despite the social popularity of this duo, recent smoking bans around the country are putting an end to smoking in bars and restaurants. 2 Scientists have found that smoking not only harms the smoker, but also those surrounding the smoker.3 Although society once consid- ered smoking a fashionable and generally acceptable activity, knowledge of its health risks is compelling lawmakers to pass laws prohibiting smoking in public places.

  • Tobacco Use by Indian Adolescents
    Tobacco Induced Diseases Vol. 1, No. 2: 111–119 (2002) © PTID Society Tobacco use by Indian adolescents Chadda RK, Sengupta SN Department of Psychiatry, Institute of Human Behavior & Allied Sciences, Delhi, India ABSTRACT. Adolescents are the most vulnerable population to initiate tobacco use. It is now well estab- lished that most of the adult users of tobacco start tobacco use in childhood or adolescence. There has been a perceptible fall in smoking in the developed countries after realization of harmful effects of tobac- co. The tobacco companies are now aggressively targeting their advertising strategies in the developing countries like India. Adolescents often get attracted to tobacco products because of such propaganda. There has been a rapid increase in trade and use of smokeless tobacco products in recent years in the coun- try, which is a matter of serious concern to the health planners. It is important to understand various fac- tors that influence and encourage young teenagers to start smoking or to use other tobacco products. The age at first use of tobacco has been reduced considerably. However, law enforcing agencies have also taken some punitive measures in recent years to curtail the use of tobacco products. This paper focuses on vari- ous tobacco products available in India, the extent of their use in adolescents, factors leading to initiation of their use, and the preventive strategies, which could be used to deal with this menace. KEY WORDS: Smoking, nicotine, tobacco abuse, smokeless tobacco. INTRODUCTION Tobacco use in children and adolescents is reaching pandemic India; its use has unfortunately been well recognized among levels.

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.
