My main area of research is smoking and tobacco control. This has focused on a broad range of smoking issues at the individual, community and societal level, including:
- The influence of the tobacco industry and the media on smoking- editorial and advertising messages and images in youth and women's magazines in UK and Europe.
- Young people - smoking uptake, dependence and cessation in the mid-to-late teens; transitions and smoking; smoking and gender; smoking and cannabis; perceptions of media smoking images.
- Adults - smoking and disadvantage; cessation services; smoking and gender; smoking and ethnicity.
- Evaluation of tobacco control initiatives - the Scottish legislation on smoking in public places, cessation initiatives with young people; community level initiatives on women, low income and smoking; networking and capacity building on women and tobacco in Europe
