Association of Use of Menthol- Versus Tobacco-Flavored ENDS with Switching Completely Away from Cigarettes and Differences by Menthol Cigarette Smoking
Introduction Menthol cigarettes and menthol-flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are a current focus of US regulatory policy considerations. Informed policy requires understanding how ENDS flavor may influence smoking behavior, and whether this association varies by preferred cigarette flavor.Materials and methods The analytic sample included 8,428 US adults who smoked cigarettes (AWS) in the Adult JUUL Switching and Smoking Traje…
Persistence of Youth Use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health, 2017-2021
BACKGROUND: Youth use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) is a concern, but little is known about the proportion that is transient and experimental vs. persistent and problematic. METHODS: Data were drawn from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health, focusing on ENDS-naïve youth at Wave 4 (∼2018), just prior to the US peak in youth ENDS prevalence. Degrees of ENDS use at Waves 5 (∼2019) and 6 (∼2021) were examined: past-year, p…
Measures of youth e-cigarette use
This perspective discusses how to best define “e-cigarette use” among youth in a way that is relevant to individual and human health. Commonly-used definitions of youth e-cigarette use have been adapted from measures validated for tobacco cigarette smoking among adults, but may not carry the same meaning for a different product (with a much lower risk profile and very different patterns of use) and a different population (whose use is more often …
What Substances Are Adolescents Vaping? Estimating Nicotine-Specific and Cannabis-Specific Vaping from US National Youth Surveys
Background Youth use of electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”) is an ongoing concern. Vaping is usually assumed to be of nicotine, but survey responses may also include vaping of non-nicotine substances (particularly cannabis), which can impose different risks. The current study quantifies the proportions of nicotine-specific and cannabis-specific vaping among adolescents.Methods Data from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) 2021 survey were analyzed…
Comparative risk perceptions of switching to Juul vs. continued smoking and subsequent switching away from cigarettes
Smokers who perceive JUUL as less harmful than cigarettes have higher odds of switching. Future research should examine whether messaging which aligns comparative risk perceptions with current evidence can facilitate switching, especially among heavier smokers
Rural disparities in adolescent smoking prevalence
INTRODUCTION: Rural residence is a well-established risk factor for risk behaviors and subsequent morbidity and mortality in the United States. Smoking is the primary cause of preventable death and is more prevalent in rural America. As chronic smoking habits typically develop during adolescence, the discrepancy in smoking rates between rural and urban youth likely contributes to a significant geographic disparity in the long-term health of adult…
Retracted Article
Population-level data suggest that smoking prevalence has dropped faster than expected, in ways correlated with increased e-cigarette use. This population movement has potential public health implications
Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms Rather than Alcohol Exposure Predict Experiences of Cannabis Use Disorder Symptoms among Adolescents and Young Adults
Background: Alcohol and cannabis use are highly comorbid. Objective: We evaluate if alcohol use and/or alcohol use disorder symptoms predict experiences of cannabis use disorder symptoms among adolescents and young adults and whether the relationships differ based on frequency of cannabis use, recency of cannabis initiation and age. Method: Data were drawn from five annual surveys of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2014–2018) to inclu…
Dual Use of Cigarettes and Juul
Objectives: Many smokers who start using ENDS engage in dual use of cigarettes and ENDS. This paper examines time trends in dual use after a JUUL Starter Kit purchase, and changes in cigarette consumption among those remaining dual users. Methods: In the ADJUSST study, a cohort of adult smokers who purchased a JUUL Starter Kit were followed naturalistically 6 times over 12 months. Trends in dual use and reported complete switching away from cigar…

A Practical Guide to Calculating Cohen’s f2, a Measure of Local Effect Size, from PROC Mixed
Reporting effect sizes in scientific articles is increasingly widespread and encouraged by journals; however, choosing an effect size for analyses such as mixed-effects regression modeling and hierarchical linear modeling can be difficult. One relatively uncommon, but very informative, standardized measure of effect size is Cohen's f(2), which allows an evaluation of local effect size, i.e., one variable's effect size within the context of a mult…
Coping with the 10th anniversary of 9/11
The events of 9/11 marked an increase in prejudice, discrimination, and other forms of unfair treatment toward Muslim Americans. We present a study that examined the emotions of Muslim Americans in the days preceding the ten-year 9/11 anniversary. We measured the antecedents (concerns) and consequences (coping) of sadness, fear, and anger. The 9/11 anniversary precipitated intense concerns with loss and discrimination, and intense feelings of sad…
