Subjective Effects and Behavioral Intentions of Cigarettes, E-Cigarettes, and Heated Tobacco Products Among Black and White Adults Who Smoke
Introduction For adults who smoke (AWS) but are unable to quit, transitioning to less harmful nicotine products such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) may be a viable option for reducing exposure to tobacco-related toxicants. While the use of e-cigarettes and HTPs has proliferated among White AWS, little is known about the acceptability of these products among Black AWS.Methods Twenty-two Black (n = 12) an…
E-cigarette puff topography instruction to enhance switching among COPD patients who smoke
Introduction Patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who smoke often face significant challenges when attempting to quit. However, switching to less harmful alternatives such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) may help mitigate tobacco-related health outcomes. Training COPD patients who smoke to adjust their puffing topography could enhance nicotine delivery and satisfaction, thereby facilitating their transition…
Tobacco and Nicotine Use Among Students at Community Colleges and 4-Year Institutions
Introduction Evidence-based tobacco prevention and cessation are critical in the college setting. Relative to 4-year institutions, community colleges (CCs) are significantly under resourced in substance prevention. Prior work has demonstrated differences in tobacco use prevalence between 4-year and CC students. The present study expands prior work by examining 4-year and CC student tobacco use patterns across various types of tobacco products and…
Development and implementation of the Echo model in a school setting to address youth electronic cigarette use in Kansas
Introduction: Schools remain at the frontlines of addressing issues, such as e-cigarette use, that impact students. Despite e-cigarette use remaining a significant public health concern in the U.S., schools have limited resources (e.g., staff, capacity, programming) to address it, especially in rural and frontier areas. This ECHO Pilot Project aimed to build capacity and equip schools and school staff in the state of Kansas to address high rates …
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
Harm Perceptions of the Juul E-Cigarette in a Sample of Ever Users
Increased frequency of JUUL use was associated with decreased harm perceptions. JUUL was associated with reduced perceptions of absolute harm compared to most other tobacco products, except other ECs. Public health practitioners should develop public health interventions that increase harm perceptions of ECs
Electronic cigarette use patterns and chronic health conditions among people experiencing homelessness in MN
During a time when cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use, and dual use were decreasing in the general population in Minnesota, rates increased in the homeless population. We observed that the rates of dual use were more than five times greater among homeless adults compared to the general population in 2018. Correlates of e-cigarette use were identified and should be used to identify subpopulations for intervention targeting. Mechanisms of the relat…
Impact of flavors and humectants on waterpipe tobacco smoking topography, subjective effects, toxicant exposure and intentions for continued use
The findings demonstrate the importance of flavours and humectants on improving WT smoking experience and increasing the likelihood that users will want to initiate and continue smoking. Moreover, it demonstrates that flavours and humectants influence smoking behaviour and toxicant exposure in some unexpected ways that are important for regulatory efforts
Alcohol use and the interpersonal theory of suicide in American Indian young adults
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for American Indian (AI) young adults. Alcohol use is a well-established risk factor for suicide. On average, AIs ages 12 to 20 exhibit the second-highest rate of binge drinking compared to all other ethnic groups. The current study investigated the relation between alcohol use and suicide ideation in an AI sample and examined these relations in the context of the interpersonal theory of suicide (ITS).…
Temporal Estimations and Subjective Evaluations of Alcohol Consequences
Objectives: College student alcohol interventions utilizing public health messaging describe consequences that are delayed and significantly negative, a strategy shown to be ineffective. It is possible that messaging related to immediate, likely, and less negative consequences may be better at reducing problematic drinking. Although research has investigated perceptions of subjective evaluations, no studies have included perceptions of likelihood…
The Attitudinal and Motivational Effects of Anti-waterpipe Messages
Objectives: Waterpipe smoking can lead to negative health outcomes. In this study, we examined responses to anti-waterpipe smoking public service announcements (PSAs). Methods: In a pilot study, current waterpipe smokers (N = 20) and susceptible waterpipe never smokers (N = 25) were randomized to view either 3 anti-waterpipe PSAs, created by the Truth campaign, or 3 control videos. Participants answered questions pertaining to message acceptance …
Comparison of a preferred versus non-preferred waterpipe tobacco flavour
The current study is the first to examine flavours in WP smoking by measuring preferred versus control preparations to understand the impact on subjective experience, smoking behaviour and toxicant exposure. The pattern of results suggests that even this relatively minor manipulation resulted in significant changes in subjective experience. These results indicate a possible need for regulations restricting flavours in WP tobacco as with combustib…
Have combustible cigarettes met their match? The nicotine delivery profiles and harmful constituent exposures of second-generation and third-generation electronic cigarette users
Under normal use conditions, both G2 and G3 devices deliver cigarette-like amounts of nicotine, but G3 devices matched the amount and speed of nicotine delivery of a conventional cigarette. Compared with cigarettes, G2 and G3 e-cigarettes resulted in significantly lower levels of exposure to a potent lung carcinogen and cardiovascular toxicant. These findings have significant implications for understanding the addiction potential of these devices…
