Prospective correlates of exclusive or combined adolescent use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco: a replication-extension

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that the onset of tobacco use (smokeless tobacco, cigarettes) in adolescents is associated with alcohol use, risk taking, and low self-esteem. A sample of 842 seventh grade boys and girls from south California who had not used tobacco were identified and surveyed a year later. Risk taking was more associated with initiation of tobacco use in females. Social influence is a bigger factor in initiation of smoking among boys.

The organizational implications of smokeless tobacco use in the lumber mill industry

Article Abstract:

Users of smokeless tobacco working in the lumber mill industry have unhealthy sleep patterns, frequently take alcohol and become intoxicated, and have less job satisfaction and organizational committment. However, they feel more secure in their organizations than the tobacco-free employees. The tobacco chewers and the smokers are less hardworking and take more breaks from their work than the tobacco-free employees. Supervisors should encourage smokeless tobacco users to join smoking cessation programs.
