Shaping Youth Tobacco Use
Objectives: Research has established that increasing policy support among adults can encourage behavior change; however, policy support, particularly regarding Tobacco 21 (T21), remains understudied among youth. This study examines whether exposure to T21 policy messages can increase support for the policy and reduce intentions to use tobacco among youth.Methods: We recruited an online convenience sample of U.S. youth aged 18–20 (final analytic N…
Urban–rural disparities in oral nicotine pouch sales and flavors in the United States
ONP sales exhibit significant urban-rural disparities, with rural areas showing higher per capita sales overall, but urban areas showing stronger preferences for flavored products and greater price responsiveness. As a result, regulatory measures targeting flavors or pricing may have a greater impact in urban areas compared to rural ones
A comparison of classifications for geographic location and their associations with tobacco use among US adults
PURPOSE: This study compared two classifications of rurality and their associations with cigarette, e-cigarette, and smokeless tobacco (SLT) use among a nationally representative sample of 31,196 US adults. METHODS: Data from Wave 1 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study. Weighted descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regressions assessed whether two classifications of rurality were differentially associated with pas…
Trends of oral nicotine pouch prices and sales by product characteristics in the USA, 2021–2024
Policy-makers may need to consider the role of major manufacturers, product flavours, and nicotine content in shaping the market. Continued surveillance is warranted to assess trends in use, particularly among youth and non-tobacco users
Oral nicotine pouch manufacturer’s reduced exposure claims require evidence and regulatory oversight
Effects of “Tobacco Free” Language in Warning Labels on Perceptions of Electronic Cigarettes and Nicotine Pouches among Young Adult Men
Background: Manufacturers of Puff Bar electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and Fre nicotine pouches claim that their products contain synthetic nicotine. The packages for Puff Bar and Fre have modified versions of the warning labels required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for tobacco products, which specify that Puff Bar and Fre products contain “tobacco free” or “non-tobacco” nicotine, respectively. We evaluated whether exposure to th…
How Age and E-cigarette Use Status Interact to Influence E-cigarette Ad Perceptions
Background: The prevalence of e-cigarette use among young people remains high. Young people are susceptible to e-cigarette advertising, although potential heterogeneity in perceptions of e-cigarette ads with respect to age and e-cigarette use history remains unexplored. We aimed to assess differences in perceptions of e-cigarette ads and product use intention, by age and e-cigarette use status. Methods: Participants from an online convenience sam…
E-Cigarette Use among Sexual Minoritized Women and Nonbinary People Assigned Female at Birth
Background: Young adult sexual minoritized women (SMW) are at disproportionate risk for e-cigarette use, which may in part be due to excess minority stress imposed by discrimination exposure. While discrimination exposure is associated with risk for combustible tobacco/nicotine use among SMW, similar associations have yet to be tested with e-cigarettes. Moreover, it is unknown if discrimination-related risk may be mitigated by protective factors …
The Effects of Oral Nicotine Pouch Packaging Features on Adult Tobacco Users’ and Non-Users’ Product Perceptions
The study findings demonstrate that the nicotine concentration displayed on ONP packaging can affect adults' perceptions of ONPs. Further research on the effects of ONP packaging features emphasizing nicotine (e.g., "tobacco free" nicotine claims) on tobacco users and non-users is needed to assess their potential public health impact
Juul and its ‘Action Network’ attempt to prevent a local flavour ban
Geographic Differences in Juul Use and Risk Perceptions
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare prevalence of JUUL use and JUUL risk perceptions between adolescents living in an urban area versus Appalachian areas of the U.S. METHODS: Data were drawn from a prospective cohort study of adolescent males (the Buckeye Teen Health Study, or BTHS); our cross-sectional analysis used data from one timepoint, collected between January and December 2019 (N = 873). Chi-square tests and multivariable logist…
Optimizing Images for an E-Cigarette Messaging Campaign
Images with specific features were rated as less likable but rated as higher on PE. However, the consistency of image features rated as effective by EVP users and non-users supports the utility of similar imagery for vaping prevention and reduction efforts
Integrating Self-Report and Psychophysiological Measures in Waterpipe Tobacco Message Testing
Results showed that the self-report and psychophysiological data did not always have the same ranking and differed based on weighting of the two methods. These findings highlight the need to formatively test messages using multiple methods and use an integrated approach when selecting content
Associations between Cognitive and Affective Responses to Tobacco Advertisements and Tobacco Use Incidence
Exposure to tobacco advertisements is associated with initiation of tobacco use among youth. The mechanisms underlying this association are less clear. We estimated longitudinal associations between youths' cognitive and affective responses to advertisements for cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco (SLT) and initiation of these products. N = 1220 Ohio-residing boys of ages 11-16 were recruited into a cohort in 2015 and 2016. Participan…
Waterpipe Warning Placement and Risk Perceptions
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to select a health warning message location on a waterpipe (WP) that both attracted visual attention and conveyed the risks associated with WP smoking. Methods: During June through November 2019, we conducted a within-subjects randomized experiment (N = 74) using eye tracking equipment to examine visual attention to 3 placements of a health warning on the WP (stem, water bowl, hose). We asked young adult …
Effects of flavourants and humectants on waterpipe tobacco puffing behaviour, biomarkers of exposure and subjective effects among adults with high versus low nicotine dependence
Findings underscore the complexity of setting product standards related to flavourants and humectants in WT. Future research evaluating whether WT smokers with high dependence would quit or reduce their WT smoking in response to removal of flavourants or humectants from WT is necessary to appreciate the full public health effects of such policies
Perceptions of smoking cessation and a novel psychosocial intervention for quitting among individuals with psychosis
Individuals diagnosed with psychosis have high rates of smoking-related morbidity and early mortality. Only a small proportion of these smokers will attempt to quit, and many existing cessation interventions have limited effectiveness. To explore the unique and potentially unmet cessation needs of individuals with psychosis, we sought first-person experiences with smoking cessation and reactions to a proposed intervention. Twenty-four smokers wit…
Switching stories
This study presents a foundation for understanding how adult users describe JUUL, including their experiences using JUUL to 'switch' or stop smoking. Currently, the effectiveness of ENDS for smoking cessation is not supported by substantial evidence; however, if cessation is defined as 'quitting combustible tobacco products', then regulators should be aware that switch and cessation messages may not be distinct
Adolescent males’ responses to blu’s fake warnings
Adolescents viewing an advertisement with a fake warning were less likely to recall the advertisement's actual warning or health risks. Although e-cigarette advertisements now carry large FDA-mandated warnings, this tactic could be used for cigarette advertisements that continue to carry small warnings in the USA. Findings underscore the necessity of tobacco advertisement surveillance and study of advertisements' effects on adolescents
Reasons for smoking and barriers to cessation among adults with serious mental illness
