Several approaches have been applied in previous studies; however, the concepts and interpretations of these approaches are poorly understood
Beliefs About the HealthEffects of Smoking Among Adults in the United States. The majority of U.S. adults believe that smoking is a cause of lung cancer, but research suggests that the percentage of adults who believe smoking causes other types of cancers and chronic disease is lower. This study examines the correlates of beliefs about several established healtheffects of smoking in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Data for this study come from Wave 4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study conducted from December 2016 to January 2018. Participants responded to questions assessing their beliefs about the healtheffects of smoking. Logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between beliefs about the healtheffects of smoking
Favorable Changes in Biomarkers of Potential Harm to Reduce the Adverse HealthEffects of Smoking in Smokers Switching to the Menthol Tobacco Heating System 2.2 for Three Months (Part 2). Tobacco Heating System (THS) 2.2, a candidate modified-risk tobacco product, aims at offering an alternative to cigarettes for smokers while substantially reducing the exposure to harmful and potentially , oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction). The results suggest that switching to mTHS has the potential to reduce the adverse healtheffects of smoking and ultimately the risk of smoking-related diseases. Switching to mTHS for 90 days led to reductions in a number of biomarkers of exposure in smokers, relative to those who continued smoking cigarettes, which were close to those observed when stopping
The healtheffects of smoking bans: Evidence from German hospitalization data. This paper studies the short-term impact of public smoking bans on hospitalizations in Germany. It exploits the staggered implementation of smoking bans over time and across the 16 federal states along with the universe of hospitalizations from 2000 to 2008 and daily county-level weather and pollution data.

Disparities in knowledge about the healtheffects of smoking among adolescents following the release of new pictorial health warning labels. This paper examined knowledge about the healtheffects of smoking among health equity groups following the 2012 introduction of refreshed pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) in Canada. Data are from the 2012/2013 Youth Smoking Survey a representative school-based survey of 47,203 adolescents in Grades 6-12 in nine provinces. Regression models examined overall knowledge about eight healtheffects of smoking included in the HWLs. Less than one-third of adolescents (32.2%) knew that smoking causes vision loss/blindness and 33.7% knew that smoking causes bladder cancer. Whereas knowledge was high for lung cancer (93.9%), knowledge about other health
Influence of Health Warnings on Beliefs about the HealthEffects of Cigarette Smoking, in the Context of an Experimental Study in Four Asian Countries Cigarette package health warnings can be an important and low-cost means of communicating the health risks of smoking. We examined whether viewing health warnings in an experimental study influenced beliefs about the healtheffects of smoking information, compared to approximately half of respondents in the Mumbai area, India (which had detailed pictorial warnings). Pictorial health warnings that convey the risk of specific healtheffects from smoking can increase beliefs and knowledge about the health consequences of smoking, particularly for health effects that are lesser-known.
Icons for HealthEffects of Cigarette Smoke: A Test of Semiotic Type We sought to identify icons to effectively communicate health harms of chemicals in cigarette smoke. Participants were a convenience sample of 701 U.S. adults. A within-subjects online experiment explored the effects of icon semiotic type: symbolic (arbitrary, most abstract), indexical, and iconic (representative, most concrete
