This volume sets the stage for understanding the evolution and importance of nursing science in the field by providing a brief historical overview of the tobacco epidemic and emerging science, describing changing trends in tobacco use, reviewing health risks of smoking and benefits of quitting, reviewing concepts in nicotine addiction and evidence-based recommendations for tobacco dependence treatment. Also highlighted are nursing science efforts and leadership in addressing two barriers to mounting programs of nursing research in tobacco control: the lack of nursing education and training in tobacco control and the limited research funding and mentorship. Finally, the contributors to this volume address the issue of smoking in the profession as it influences nurses' health, interventions with patients, and, potentially, scholarship efforts.

Mark Them Which Walk The sequel to The Apothecary’s Ointment. In the previous story, disappointment in a trusted friend and mentor had given Melvin Heath a temporary setback and left him disillusioned and uncertain, but hopeful. At this low point in Heath’s spiritual life following the downfall of his mentor, when he found himself bewildered and adrift, an older friend had encouraged him with these words: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man . . . but Blessed is theman that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. In the years that followed, Melvin remembered these lines from the prophet, Jeremiah. Through his experiences, they proved their worthiness as a guiding principle in his life. As Melvin regains his spiritual equilibrium, the adverse winds of tribulation assail him anew. With his Lord and Savior as an unfailing beacon, Heath steers a steady course through the troubled waters of religious politics.

The 1980s opened a discussion of the varying nature of health in different segments of the United States. Falling under the rubric of "health disparities," a great deal of research has been published demonstrating the substantial differences in health status within a population. The causes of health disparities are varied and not always clear but most researchers agree that disparities are a reflection of social and economic inequities and political injustice. One of the obstacles to addressing disparities is the lack of meaningful health data especially for vulnerable populations, which is often nonexistent despite being a critical factor for informing health programs and policies at the lo...
