This work provides an evenhanded and authoritative overview of vaping and its impact on American culture and public health, especially among younger Americans.The 21st Century Turning Points series is a one-stop resource for understanding the people and events changing America today. This volume is devoted to the rapid rise of vaping across the nation, especially among young people. This trend has prompted fierce debate in communities across the country, with some people heralding'e-cigarettes'and other vaping devices as valuable smoking cessation tools and others condemning them for being unhealthy in their own right—and a gateway to future cigarette consumption. The Vaping Controversy describes the key events and people that provided the foundation for the rise of e-cigarettes and vaping, from governmental and medical efforts to reduce traditional cigarette smoking to the emergence and rapid spread of an entire industry devoted to selling vaping devices and accessories. This volume also explores how vaping has influenced youth culture and high school life, its impact on'old school'tobacco companies, and the increasingly visible partisan divide in attitudes about the public health impact of vaping.

Half of all smokers die of a smoking-related illness, and more than a billion people currently smoke.'Cigarettes'tells the story of the tobacco industry's cynical efforts to impose this danger on as many people—or victims—as possible, with a single purpose in mind: shareholder profits. Always frank in delivering its meticulously-documented message,'Cigarettes'should make the tobacco industry tremble more than a nicotine-deprived smoker.

Gesundheitsverhaltensmodelle finden Anwendung bei der Unterstützung von Therapieformen und beim Aufzeigen des eigenen konkreten Risikoverhaltens im Coachingbereich. Die daraus resultierenden erlernten Verhaltensweisen dienen der Förderung des Gesundheitsverhaltens. Das Transtheoretische Gesundheitsverhaltensmodell (TTM) ist ein anerkanntes und häufig angewandtes Hilfsmittel. Es fand seinen Ursprung durch Diclemente et al. während der Arbeit und Beobachtung von Rauchern, die es schafften, sich vom Tabak zu entwöhnen. Das TTM hilft denjenigen, die ihr eigenes Risikoverhalten selbst erkannt haben, jedoch weitere Hilfe benötigen, um das von ihnen gewählte Ziel zu erreichen. Da die Ergebnislage von Einzelstudien im Zusammenhang mit der Wirksamkeit von Gesundheitsverhaltensmodellen teilweise unübersichtlich oder inkonsistent ist, untersucht das vorliegende Buch die Wirksamkeit des Transtheoretischen Gesundheitsverhaltensmodells im Rahmen eines narrativen Reviews. Dafür werden 15 thematisch geeignete Primärstudien aus insgesamt drei Anwendungsbereichen ausgewählt. Zu diesen gehören: die Raucherentwöhnung, die Förderung der körperlichen Aktivität und die Verbesserung des Ernährungsverhaltens (Obst- und Gemüsekonsum).

This title discusses the phenomenon of smoking as a behavioural disease and the associated costs. The author details the consequences of smoking, in addition to the detrimental effects caused by second-hand tobacco smoke exposure as a health risk to children as well as to the general public. The central contribution of Joshua's work is to address these concerns in terms of the issues of free choice and the market. Considering the various restrictive policies designed to reduce smoking's prevalence, including the banning of smoking in public places, and the inclusion of warning labels on cigarette packets, Joshua carefully analyses potential economic remedies to the problem of smoking, notably the Pigovian tax. Finally, the book concludes with a highly relevant discussion of corporate social responsibility, and the role that this might play in anti-smoking projects. This is the first title in a four volume series ‘The Economics of Addictive Behaviours', which consists of three further volumes on alcohol abuse, illicit drug abuse and overeating.
