Samenvatting

This book, edited by the leading researcher in tobacco control and policy, explores multiple dimensions of tobacco use; health, social, and economic implications as well as the ethical, legal and scientific debates that have accompanied the development of tobacco control policies in the U.S.

The decline in the number of smokers and the consequent reduction in sickness and deaths caused by tobacco is one of the nation's great public health success stories. Many factors contributed to the decline, notably governmental tobacco control policies such as increased cigarette taxes and smoke-free workplace laws. Studies published by tobacco-policy researchers influenced the adoption of these and other tobacco control public polices.

Although tobacco-policy research dates back to the 1970s, the emergence of a field of tobacco-policy research, nurtured by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, evolved primarily over the past fifteen years. This volume, the third in the acclaimed Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Series on Health Policy, presents some of the most influential research that has defined the field and has contributed to policy change.

Required reading for anyone wishing to be conversant with tobacco control policy, the book is edited by Kenneth E. Warnerdean of the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan and a leading tobacco policy researcherwho leads with an overview of the field. Warner's overview is supported by reprints of some of the field's most significant articles, written by leading scholars and practitioners.

The topics discussed are:

Taxation and Price
Clean Indoor Air Laws
Advertising, Ad Bans, and Counteradvertising
Possession, Use, and Purchase (PUP) Laws and Sales to Minors
Cessation Policy
Comprehensive State Laws

The book concludes with analyses of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's work to reduce smoking.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
