This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities. In spite of lack of access to regular, legal employment, we found that many participants displayed a dedication to regular daily routine and a sense of risk management or control. These findings are discussed relative to past research on heroin addiction as well as recent research on the changing nature of employment. We argue that this sample fits somewhere in between the controlled or working addict, and the "junkie" or "righteous dope fiend" of urban lore. We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...

This Note proposes that the engine of tobacco policy in the United States—the nonsmokers’ rights movement—has largely and successfully run its course, leaving the United States primed for greater paternalistic tobacco regulation. Sure enough, we may be witnessing a sea change in tobacco policy with the introduction of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Many commentators from both sides of the debate, however, have decried the Act: It either bloodies the hands of the Food and Drug Administration by making it complicit in the distribution of the world’s deadliest consumer good, or it marks the anti-tobacco movement’s furthest intrusion into free markets and free speech yet. This Note charts a middle course, alternatively praising and criti...

We received a rather mammoth response when we asked readers to reveal how and when they were able to finally quit smoking. We've condensed and edited the answers that poured in, so more voices could be heard. The answers ranged across the board, as people wrestled time and time again with quitting, failing, trying again, until ... something worked. What was it that enabled them to ditch cigarettes for good? From cold turkey and willpower to Wellbutrin and granddaughters, here's what worked. ***

[...] the purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the perceptions of college students toward light cigarettes compared to regular cigarettes and ultra-light cigarettes compared to light cigarettes to assess whether students perceive these cigarettes as safer and whether their perceptions differ based on their smoking status (nonsmoker, former smoker, social smoker, or regular smoker). According to Etter, Kozlowski and Perneger, (2003), ultralight smokers tend to be older, have smoked longer, are less nicotine dependent, and smoke fewer cigarettes per day than regular or light smokers.
