Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigated the causal effects of a college education on smoking, drinking alcohol, sleeping, and site‐specific cancer‐screening behaviors in Japan. To adjust for endogeneity, we leveraged a unique instrument—demographic distortion caused by a behavior based on a superstition.

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In popular discourse and in the philosophical literature there is almost no reflection on the morality of doing harm in the context of doing one's job. To the contrary, workers are valorised simply for having a job, and typically individual workers are spared from blame, even when they cause significant harm as part of their job.

Nicotine as an odorant : a biochemical and electrophysiological study of receptors for nicotine in the olfactory epithelium of the rat [PDF]
The results suggest that nicotine vapour stimulates an in vitro olfactory preparation in three strains of rat and two strains of mouse, in a manner similar to known odorants.

Developmental and Behavioral Effects of Arsenobetaine in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arsenobetaine (AsB) is a prevalent organoarsenical in aquatic environments and is generally regarded as nontoxic. Despite its widespread occurrence, the developmental and neurobehavioral toxicity of AsB has not been systematically investigated.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cigarettes induce oxidative stress and DNA damage, processes that contribute to cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. High content screening (HCS) is an increasingly valuable tool for comparative toxicology because it enables simultaneous quantification of multiple mechanistic endpoints at single‐cell resolution. In this study, HCS was used to

Epigenetic mechanisms of nicotine dependence.
Smoking continues to be a leading cause of preventable disease and death worldwide. Nicotine dependence generates a lifelong propensity towards cravings and relapse, presenting an ongoing challenge for the development of treatments. Accumulating evidence

Alcohol and nicotine interactions: Pre-clinical models of dependence
, 2016 While the co-morbidity of alcohol (ethanol) and tobacco (nicotine) dependence is well described, the processes that underpin this strong connection are still under debate.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern agricultural practices expose humans and the environment to numerous chemical pesticides. Increasing evidence suggests that commercial pesticide formulations may exhibit toxicological properties that differ from those of their active ingredients alone due to the presence of co‐formulants and additives. This study evaluated the cytotoxic
