  • The Nicotine Metabolite Ratio and Response to Smoking Cessation Treatment Among People Living with HIV Who Smoke in South Africa

    Open Access•Chukwudi Keke, Limakatso Lebina et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    The nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) has been informative in selecting treatment choices for nicotine dependence and increasing treatment efficacy in Western settings; however, the clinical utility of the NMR among smokers in low-resource settings remains unclear. Prospective analysis was conducted using data from a randomized controlled trial of smoking cessation among adults living with HIV, to examine the association between the NMR and respons…

  • A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Nicotine Metabolite Ratio and Its Association with Sociodemographic and Smoking Characteristics among People with HIV Who Smoke in South Africa

    Open Access•Chukwudi Keke, Z Wilson et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023

    The nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) is associated with race/ethnicity but has not been evaluated among smokers in the African region. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a large randomized, controlled trial for smoking cessation among people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa. Urine samples were analyzed for the NMR and evaluated as a binary variable using a cutoff value of the fourth quartile to determine the fastest metabo…

  • Correlates of Transitions in Tobacco Product Use by U.S. Adult Tobacco Users between 2013–2014 and 2014–2015

    Open Access•Karin Kasza, Blair Coleman et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018

    More than half of adult tobacco users in the United States (U.S.) transitioned in tobacco product use between 2013−2014 and 2014−2015. We examine how characteristics of adult tobacco users in the U.S. relate to transitions in tobacco product use. Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study data were analyzed from 12,862 adult current tobacco users who participated in Wave 1 (W1, 2013−2014) and Wave 2 (W2, 2014−2015). Three types of t…

  • Transitions in Tobacco Product Use by U.S. Adults between 2013–2014 and 2014–2015

    Open Access•Karin Kasza, Nicolette Borek et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018

    In 2013−2014, nearly 28% of adults in the United States (U.S.) were current tobacco users with cigarettes the most common product used and with nearly 40% of tobacco users using two or more tobacco products. We describe overall change in prevalence of tobacco product use and within-person transitions in tobacco product use in the U.S. between 2013−2014 and 2014−2015 for young adults (18−24 years) and older adults (25+ years). Data from Wave 1 (W1…

  • Smoking Trajectory Classes and Impact of Social Smoking Identity in Two Cohorts of U.S. Young Adults

    Open Access•Amanda L Johnson, Andrea C Villanti et al.•ARTICLE•Emerging Adulthood•2018

    This study describes cigarette smoking trajectories, the influence of social smoker self-identification (SSID), and correlates of these trajectories in two cohorts of U.S. young adults: a sample from the Chicago metropolitan area (Social Emotional Contexts of Adolescent and Young Adult Smoking Patterns [SECAP], n = 893) and a national sample (Truth Initiative Young Adult Cohort Study [YA Cohort], n = 1,491). Using latent class growth analyses and…

  • Public misperception that very low nicotine cigarettes are less carcinogenic

    Michael Byron, Mijin Jeong et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2018

    Many smokers had the misperception that smoking VLNC cigarettes is less likely to cause cancer, and some stated that they would be less likely to quit. A VLNC standard may be more effective if accompanied by a communication campaign that emphasises the continued dangers of smoking VLNC cigarettes due to the many toxic chemicals in smoke

  • Transitions in electronic cigarette use among adults in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study, Waves 1 and 2 (2013–2015)

    Blair Coleman, Brian L Rostron et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2018

    This study suggests that e-cigarette use patterns are highly variable over a 1-year period. This analysis provides the first nationally representative estimates of transitions among US adult e-cigarette users. Future research, including additional waves of the PATH Study, can provide further insight into long-term patterns of e-cigarette use critical to understanding the net population health impact of e-cigarettes in USA

  • Recommended core items to assess e-cigarette use in population-based surveys

    Jennifer L Pearson, Sara C Hitchman et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2017

    A consistent approach using standardised items to assess e-cigarette use in both youth and adult populations will aid cross-survey and cross-national comparisons of the effect of e-cigarette (and tobacco) policies and improve our understanding of the population health impact of e-cigarette use. Focusing on adult behaviour, we propose a set of e-cigarette use items, discuss their utility and potential adaptation, and highlight e-cigarette construc…

  • Potential deaths averted in USA by replacing cigarettes with e-cigarettes

    Open Access•David T Levy, Ron Borland et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2017

    The tobacco control community has been divided regarding the role of e-cigarettes in tobacco control. Our projections show that a strategy of replacing cigarette smoking with vaping would yield substantial life year gains, even under pessimistic assumptions regarding cessation, initiation and relative harm

  • Electronic cigarette use among US adults in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study, 2013–2014

    Blair Coleman, Blair N Coleman et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2017

    The majority of e-cigarette users in this study reported less than daily use. Compared with non-daily use, daily use was associated with being a former smoker; however, cross-sectional data limits our ability to establish the temporality or directionality of such associations

  • Obsolete tobacco control themes can be hazardous to public health

    Open Access•Lynn T Kozlowski, David B Abrams•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2016

    The Surgeon General in 2014 concluded that by far the greatest danger to public health was from cigarettes and other combusted products. At the same time the evidence base for smokeless tobacco and alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS) had grown. Product innovation and tobacco/nicotine bio-behavioral, epidemiological and public health sciences demonstrate that low nitrosamine smokeless tobacco (e.g., Swedish snus), and ANDS have substantia…

  • Changes in the prevalence and correlates of menthol cigarette use in the USA, 2004–2014

    Andrea C Villanti, Paul Mowery et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2016

    The youngest smokers are most likely to use menthol cigarettes. Among smokers, increases in overall menthol cigarette use and menthol cigarette use in whites, Asians and Hispanics since 2010 are of concern. There is tremendous urgency to limit the impact of menthol cigarettes on public health, particularly the health of youth and young adults

  • Design and methods of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study

    Andrew Hyland, Bridget K Ambrose et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2016

    The cumulative, population-based data generated over time by the PATH Study will contribute to the evidence base to inform FDA's regulatory mission under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and efforts to reduce the Nation's burden of tobacco-related death and disease

  • Tobacco retail outlet advertising practices and proximity to schools, parks and public housing affect Synar underage sales violations in Washington, DC

    Thomas Kirchner, T R Kirchner et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2014

    Findings demonstrate that while illicit tobacco sales to minors are occurring at acceptably low rates by Synar standards, illicit sales vary considerably by retail store type, advertising approach and proximity to high schools, parks and African-American residential areas. Future work may help inform regulatory efforts to reduce youth access at the neighbourhood, city, state and national levels

  • Differential trends in cigarette smoking in the USA

    Gary A Giovino, Andrea C Villanti et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2013

    Young people are heavy consumers of mentholated cigarettes. Progress in reducing youth smoking has likely been attenuated by the sale and marketing of mentholated cigarettes, including emerging varieties of established youth brands. This study should inform the Food and Drug Administration regarding the potential public health impact of a menthol ban

  • Public Support for Mandated Nicotine Reduction in Cigarettes

    Jennifer L Pearson, David B Abrams et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2013•Referências: 23

    Objectives. We assessed public support for a potential Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–mandated reduction in cigarette nicotine content. Methods. We used nationally representative data from a June 2010 cross-sectional survey of US adults (n = 2649) to obtain weighted point estimates and correlates of support for mandated nicotine reduction. We also assessed the potential role of political ideology in support of FDA regulation of nicotine. Resu…

  • Food and Drug Administration Regulation of Tobacco

    Andrea C Villanti, Ellen J Vargyas et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2011•Citada por: 1•Referências: 4

    The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (hereafter referred to as “the Act”) became law in 2009. One of its key provisions grants the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate tobacco products “for the protection of the public health.”1 Recognizing that the traditional “safe and effective” standard governing drugs and devices was inappropriate for tobacco products, which are inherently lethal, Congress designed the “p…

  • US Attitudes About Banning Menthol in Cigarettes

    Jonathan P Winickoff, Robert McMillen et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2011•Citada por: 4•Referências: 17

    Menthol is a cigarette flavoring that makes smoking more appealing to smokers. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has regulatory authority to ban mentholated cigarettes to reduce youth uptake and encourage adult cessation. Survey findings indicate that more than half of all Americans (56.1%) and of Blacks alone (68.0% in one sample and 75.8% in another) support banning menthol. Endorsement of a ban—especially by Blacks, who have the highes…

  • Debunking myths about self-quitting

    Sheldon Cohen, Edward Lichtenstein et al.•ARTICLE•American Psychologist•1989•Citada por: 25

    This article examines data from 10 longterm prospective studies (N greater than 5,000) in relation to key issues about the self-quitting of smoking, especially those discussed by Schachter. When a single attempt to quit was evaluated, self-quitters' success rates were no better than those reported for formal treatment programs. Light smokers (20 or less cigarettes per day) were 2.2 times more likely to quit than heavy smokers. The cyclical nature…

    David T Levy, Jennifer L Pearson et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2011•Citada por: 3•Referências: 25

    We used a validated smoking simulation model and data from the 2003 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey to project the impact that a US menthol ban would have on smoking prevalence and smoking-attributable deaths. In a scenario in which 30% of menthol smokers quit and 30% of those who would have initiated as menthol smokers do not initiate, by 2050 the relative reduction in smoking prevalence would be 9.7% overall and 24.8% fo…
