Effects of oral nicotine pouches on cigarette smoking behaviour and tobacco harm exposure
NCT04250727
Words matter
Many terms for NML and NFT are differentially related to understanding nicotine source and risk perceptions even though no existing research indicates that NML and NFT differ meaningfully from each other on characteristics like addictiveness. In the absence of prohibiting product differentiation by nicotine source, regulatory agencies should promote using the terms 'Nicotine from Tobacco' and 'Nicotine Made in a Lab' and investigate whether produ…
Synthetic cooling agent in oral nicotine pouch products marketed as ‘Flavour-Ban Approved’
ONP products marketed as 'Flavour-Ban Approved' or 'unflavoured' contain flavouring agents, proving that the manufacturer's advertising is misleading. Synthetic coolants such as WS-3 can provide a robust cooling sensation with reduced sensory irritancy, thereby increasing product appeal and use. Regulators need to develop effective strategies for the control of odourless sensory additives used by the industry to bypass flavour bans
Including the term ‘tobacco-free nicotine’ in the nicotine addiction warning label mandated by the US Food and Drug Administration alters risk perceptions and use intentions
Modifying the FDA-mandated nicotine warning label to include 'tobacco-free nicotine' may negatively impact public health, so the FDA should enforce inclusion of its original required warning label
The daily association between affect and alcohol use
Influential psychological theories hypothesize that people consume alcohol in response to the experience of both negative and positive emotions. Despite two decades of daily diary and ecological momentary assessment research, it remains unclear whether people consume more alcohol on days they experience higher negative and positive affect in everyday life. In this preregistered meta-analysis, we synthesized the evidence for these daily associatio…
Cigarette Smoking in Response to Covid-19
During the initial wave of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the U.S., information was mixed about the relative COVID-19 risks and potential benefits associated with cigarette smoking. Therefore, we sought to understand individual differences in the impact of COVID-19 on cigarette smoking in a sample of adults who reported recent use, with a particular focus on chronic medical conditions likely associated with increased COVID-19…
Harm reduction for smokers with little to no quit interest
The policies studied seem unlikely to encourage harm reduction for individuals with little interest in quitting smoking
Examining associations of e-cigarette flavour restrictions with e-cigarette use and success quitting smoking among US adults
Experiencing e-cigarette flavour restrictions was not associated with success quitting smoking among adults using e-cigarettes to try to quit
Saracatinib Fails to Reduce Alcohol-Seeking and Consumption in Mice and Human Participants
More effective treatments to reduce pathological alcohol drinking are needed. The glutamatergic system and the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), in particular, are implicated in behavioral and molecular consequences of chronic alcohol use, making the NMDAR a promising target for novel pharmacotherapeutics. Ethanol exposure upregulates Fyn, a protein tyrosine kinase that indirectly modulates NMDAR signaling by phosphorylating the NR2B subunit. The Src/Fyn ki…
Pilot Ecological Momentary Assessment Study of Subjective and Contextual Factors Surrounding E-Cigarette and Combustible Tobacco Product Use among Young Adults
This pilot data suggests that unique contextual factors may be associated with e-cigarette use, compared to combustible tobacco smoking in a sample of young adults who use both e-cigarettes and combustible tobacco products. Future research with larger samples is needed to better characterize varying contexts and cues for tobacco use among young adults who are dual users
Food insecurity among individuals with substance use disorders in an Eastern city clinic
Food insecurity (FI) is under-researched among people experiencing substance use disorders (SUD). Given the physical and mental health consequences associated with FI, this study examined the prevalence of FI and its covariates in individuals seeking treatment for SUDs and whether any specific SUD diagnosis was associated with FI. Individuals with polysubstance use disorder (PSUD) were compared to those with a single SUD diagnosis. This study was…
PhenX
A working group (WG) of experts from diverse fields related to nicotine and tobacco addiction was constituted to identify constructs and measures for the PhenX (Phenotypes and eXposures) Tobacco Regulatory Research (TRR) Host: Biobehavioral Collection with potential relevance to users of both conventional and newer tobacco products. This paper describes the methods and results the WG used to identify, select, approve and place measures in the Phe…
Differences in flavourant levels and synthetic coolant use between USA, EU and Canadian Juul products
Tested US/Canadian Juul e-liquids contained higher flavour concentrations than EU products, likely reflecting adaptation to user preferences. In EU, 'Mint' e-liquid, menthol is partially substituted with the synthetic coolant WS-3 that elicits a cooling effect like menthol but lacks its distinct 'minty' odour. The inhalational safety of WS-3 is unknown. The use of an emulsifier in US/Canadian 'Mango' Juul e-liquid may be necessary to keep the pro…
Evaluating the effect of switching to non-menthol cigarettes among current menthol smokers
NCT03075839
Psychometrically improved, abbreviated versions of three classic measures of impulsivity and self-control.
Self-reported impulsivity confers risk factor for substance abuse. However, the psychometric properties of many self-report impulsivity measures have been questioned, thereby undermining the interpretability of study findings using these measures. To better understand these measurement limitations and to suggest a path to assessing self-reported impulsivity with greater psychometric stability, we conducted a comprehensive psychometric evaluation …
The Effect of Alcohol Treatment on Social Costs of Alcohol Dependence
BACKGROUND: The COMBINE (combined pharmacotherapies and behavioral intervention) clinical trial recently evaluated the efficacy of pharmacotherapies, behavioral therapies, and their combinations for the treatment of alcohol dependence. Previously, the cost and cost-effectiveness of COMBINE have been studied. Policy makers, patients, and nonalcohol-dependent individuals may be concerned not only with alcohol treatment costs but also with the effec…
Validation of a scale for the assessment of food cravings among smokers
Characteristics of Older Adult Problem Gamblers Calling a Gambling Helpline
Gender-Related Differences in the Characteristics of Problem Gamblers Using a Gambling Helpline
OBJECTIVE: The characteristics of male and female gamblers utilizing a gambling helpline were examined to identify gender-related differences. METHOD: The authors performed logistic regression analyses on data obtained in 1998-1999 from callers to a gambling helpline serving southern New England. RESULTS: Of the 562 phone calls used in the analyses, 349 (62.1%) were from male callers and 213 (37.9%) from female callers. Gender-related differences…
