“…Descriptive research has assessed attitudes towards tobacco industry regulation in diverse samples including: adults in Ontario;54 Mississippi parents before and after a youth-targeted, counter-industry state media campaign;62 Korean immigrant, male smokers;63 school nurses64 and New Zealand politicians 65. In a sample of smokers in four countries, thinking about the conduct of tobacco companies and belief that the industry should take more responsibility for tobacco's harms were independently predictive of support for industry regulation,46 and counter-industry beliefs were associated with noticing anti-smoking information, tobacco ads and secondhand smoke restrictions 8…”

Objective To conduct a review of research examining the effects of tobacco industry denormalisation (TID) on smoking-related and attitude-related outcomes. Methods The authors searched Pubmed and Scopus databases for articles published through December 2010 (see figure 1). We included all peer-reviewed TID studies we could locate that measured smoking-related outcomes and attitudes toward the tobacco industry. Exclusion criteria included: non-English language, focus on tobacco use rather than TID, perceived ad efficacy as sole outcome, complex program interventions without a separately analysable TID component and non peer-reviewed literature. We analysed the literature qualitatively and summarised findings by outcome measured. Results After excluding articles not meeting the search criteria, the authors reviewed 60 studies examining TID and 9 smoking-related outcomes, including smoking prevalence, smoking initiation, intention to smoke and intention to quit. The authors also reviewed studies of attitudes towards the tobacco industry and its regulation. The majority of studies suggest that TID is effective in reducing smoking prevalence and initiation and increasing intentions to quit. Evidence is mixed for some other outcomes, but some of the divergent findings may be explained by study designs. Conclusions A robust body of evidence suggests that TID is an effective tobacco control intervention at the population level that has a clear exposure–response effect. TID may also contribute to other tobacco control outcomes not explored in this review (including efforts to ‘directly erode industry power’), and thus may enhance public support and political will for structural reforms to end the tobacco epidemic.

“…These school nurses had moderately negative attitudes toward tobacco companies. In contrast, in a 1999 telephone survey of voters in Mississippi, most respondents held weakly negative attitudes toward tobacco companies (Carver et al, 2003). Attitudes toward tobacco companies may have deteriorated in these 5 years, or school nurses may be more negative toward tobacco companies than the general voting public listed in the phone directory.…”

“…The Tobacco Company Attitudes subscale consisted of 11 questions (e.g., "Tobacco companies are to blame for youth smoking") about tobacco companies being blameworthy for youth smoking (2 items), focused on youth (6 items), and similar to other companies (3 items, reverse scored), slightly adapted from Sly, Hopkins, Trapido, and Ray (2001) and Carver, Reinert, Range, and Campbell (2003). They were scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree) so that low numbers indicated more agreement with the perception that tobacco companies do bad things.…”

To further understand school nurses' tobacco policy beliefs and attitudes toward tobacco companies, a convenience sample of 53 school nurses completed questionnaires about anti-tobacco policies and attitudes toward tobacco companies. Overall, these nurses strongly agreed with tobacco policies such as banning youths from wearing clothing with a tobacco logo to school and fining restaurant owners who permit smoking. In addition, these nurses on average were negative toward tobacco companies. For example, they thought that tobacco companies and advertising leads to youth tobacco use. However, this group of school nurses thought that youths were basically neutral toward tobacco companies. Considering their professional experience with tobacco prevention at school, school nurses would be logical designers of tobacco prevention school interventions. An implication of these results is that school nurse education should include policy and activism components.

“…A US study also showed that TV advertisements are the most frequently mentioned source of help among recent quitters of smoking [28]. Furthermore, a number of studies have shown that mass media campaigns enhance improvements in attitude toward healthy behavior, such as better diet, exercise, illegal drug prevention, safe sex, and smoking cessation [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports on developing countries also support mass media interventions to increase the knowledge of HIV transmission and boost awareness of health providers [37].…”

Background: Vertical and horizontal trust, as dimensions of social capital, may be important determinants of health. As mass media campaigns have been used extensively to promote healthy lifestyles and convey health-related information, high levels of individual trust in the media may facilitate the success of such campaigns and, hence, have a positive influence on health. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between trust levels in mass media, an aspect of vertical trust, and health.
