Racially-motivated discrimination distress and tobacco use outcomes among adolescents in the United States
Scores of ADDI and each of the three subscales were independently associated with tobacco dependence. Scores of the peer subscale were also associated with lower intention to quit and quit attempt. Prevention interventions may consider strategies to increase resilience against discrimination and screening for discrimination when treating young people with tobacco dependence
The effect of price on cigarette consumption, distribution, and sale in Tehran
Our findings highlight two important aspects concerning cigarette pricing in Iran. First is the change in the type of purchase from the whole box of cigarettes to the single stick cigarette or swapping to less expensive cigarettes. Second, increase in cigarette price (either through taxing or regular increases) could be offset by flooding smuggled cigarettes into the market. Therefore, in addition to raising cigarette prices, reducing cigarette c…
Determinants of progression of nicotine dependence symptoms in adolescent waterpipe smokers
A significant proportion of adolescent waterpipe smokers progressed on ND. Venue-based policies such as limiting youth access to waterpipe cafés are warranted
Early symptoms of nicotine dependence among adolescent waterpipe smokers
Background Although waterpipe smoking is increasingly popular among youth and can lead to nicotine dependence (ND), no studies have documented how ND develops in waterpipe smokers. We examined the emerging symptoms of ND among adolescent waterpipe smokers in Lebanon. Methods Individual confidential interviews were used to evaluate ND in 160 waterpipe smokers and 24 cigarette smokers from a sample of 498 students enrolled in 8th and 9th grades in …
The global epidemiology of waterpipe smoking

Still, the bleak outlook of the tobacco epidemic in the Arab world continues to be faced with complacency in the form of underutilization of surveillance systems to …
