“…E-cigarette use is also high among young adults. A national consumerbased web survey suggested that 7.8% of young adults (18-24 years) have ever used e-cigarettes [2], and data collected from American college students [3,4] indicate that about one-third of college students have tried e-cigarettes.…”

Rates of e-cigarette use are high among youth, and there is little known about the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes. Since peer influence is a powerful determinant of tobacco use, we aimed to identify message themes about ecigarettes that youth would use to encourage or discourage peers from using e-cigarettes. We conducted 10 focus groups (N ¼ 69) with nonsmokers and smokers from one middle school, high school and college in Connecticut. Participants engaged in a discussion about ecigarettes, and each participant created one written message to encourage e-cigarette use and one to discourage use among peers. We content-analyzed the messages and identified three main themes and 12 encouraging and discouraging sub-themes. Encouraging themes included health benefits of e-cigarettes relative to cigarettes, attractive product characteristics (e.g. flavors) and social advantages (e.g. positive social image) of using e-cigarettes. Discouraging messages included health risks of e-cigarettes relative to cigarettes, unattractive product characteristics (e.g. cost) and social disadvantages (e.g. negative social image of using an e-cigarette). Overall, there were no differences by sex, age group or smoking status in generation of encouraging and discouraging message themes. This study identified youth-generated themes that may aid in e-cigarette prevention among youth.

“…In the perspective of policy content, awareness of the beneficiary is a key point to reach policy effectiveness (Bakaki & Bernauer, 2017). If the people are aware of the policy goals and objectives, they will voluntarily comply with the policy (Brown et al, 2016). The awareness of Depok citizens is influenced by the educational setting of Depok society, which is well educated.…”

Several regional governments in Indonesia have implemented paid plastic shopping bags policy to reduce micro-plastic waste. However, there are only a few studies to evaluate this program. To fill the research gap, the researchers seek to implement the regulation by investigating policy effectiveness factors. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to illuminate what factors affect the policy. The researchers studied the implementation of paid plastic bags in Depok City, West Java, Indonesia, by employing a survey to achieve the objective. One hundred and thirty-four respondents had participated in this research and shared their responses on the policy. A partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyze the data. The results showed three factors contributed to policy implementation: knowledge, awareness, and compliance. The current research extends Grindle’s theory by examining individual determinants as predictors of policy implementation. This study also adds the researchers’ knowledge into how society responds to Indonesia’s paid plastic shopping bags policy and contributes to the government designing a suitable strategy to implement the program effectively.

“…(24) On another set of 14 colleges and universities, it was observed that awareness of restrictions on e-cigarette use was low, and support for their restriction on campus captured a weak majority (60%). (25) It is generally accepted that social cues for various behaviors will tend toward increasing adoption of those behaviors, with recent studies demonstrating this with e-cigarettes (including evidence from neuroimaging and from advertising studies). (26)(27)(28)(29) The accuracy of public understanding of ecigarettes with respect to nicotine addiction is of great concern, especially in the youth population.…”

Influence of Risk Perception on Attitudes and Norms Regarding Electronic Cigarettes

Risk Analysis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of electronic cigarettes has grown substantially over the last few years. Currently, about 4% of adults use electronic cigarettes, about 16% of high school students report use in the past 30 days, as do approximately 11-25% of college students. A hallmark of the reduction in tobacco use has been the shift in social norms concerning smoking in public. Such norms may also drive views on acceptability of public electronic cigarette use. While normative factors have been given attention, little substantive application of the literature on risk perception has been brought to bear. The overall aim of this study was to place a cognitive-affective measure of risk perception within a model that also includes social cues for e-cigarettes, addictiveness beliefs, and tobacco use to predict perceived social acceptability for public use of e-cigarettes. To do so, a cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted among a sample of undergraduate students at a Western university (n = 395). A structural equation model showed that the acceptability of public e-cigarette use was influenced by social cues, beliefs about addiction, and cognitive risk perception, even after controlling for nicotine use. What is revealed is that cognitive assessment of e-cigarette risk and perception of addictiveness had a suppressing effect on perceived acceptability of public vaping, while greater exposure to social cues exerted a countervailing effect. This is evidence of the role that risk perception and social norms may play in the increases in electronic cigarette use that have been observed.
