Tobacco Use, Risk Perceptions, and Characteristics of Adults Who Used a Heated Tobacco Product (IQOS) in the United States: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Tobacco Use, Risk Perceptions, and Characteristics of Adults Who Used a Heated Tobacco Product (IQOS) in the United States: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

As shown in Tables 3 and 4, 680 of the 688 (98.8%) established AUIs had ever smoked cigarettes and 628 (91.3%) were currently smoking cigarettes before they tried THS for the first time. By contrast, at the time of assessment, only 338 (49.1%) were smoking. At the time of the assessment, 144 of 645 (22.3%) current established AUIs were also using e-cigarettes and 86 (13.3%) were also using cigars. Use of other tobacco products was relatively rare (≤5%, 33 or fewer/645).

Assessing the Adherence of ChatGPT Chatbots to Public Health Guidelines for Smoking Cessation: Content Analysis

Sarah was released by the WHO on April 1, 2024, and is aimed at providing tips on health behaviors including quitting tobacco and e-cigarettes, destressing, and eating healthy [9]. Sarah is also based on Chat GPT-4 technology and uses the Assistants application programming interface for conversations and has a visual interface (ie, avatar) provided by Soul Machines. Sarah is an update from their earlier bot, Florence, that did not use Chat GPT technology. Sarah can be accessed from the WHO website [9].

Expanding the Scope: Reflections on Digital Smoking Cessation Strategies for Diverse Age Groups

Expanding the Scope: Reflections on Digital Smoking Cessation Strategies for Diverse Age Groups

We are writing to express our appreciation for the recent publication of the study entitled, “Expectations and Preferences for Digital Cessation Treatment: Multimethods Study Among Older Adults Who Smoke Cigarettes” in the Journal of Medical Internet Research [1]. I commend the authors for their efforts in exploring smoking cessation treatments within the older adult population and appreciate their focus on this often-overlooked demographic group.

Desires and Needs for Quitting Both e-Cigarettes and Cigarettes Among Young Adults: Formative Qualitative Study Informing the Development of a Smartphone Intervention for Dual Tobacco Cessation

Desires and Needs for Quitting Both e-Cigarettes and Cigarettes Among Young Adults: Formative Qualitative Study Informing the Development of a Smartphone Intervention for Dual Tobacco Cessation

Tobacco cessation among young adults is complicated by concurrent use of both e-cigarettes and cigarettes (dual use) [2]. Among young adults who currently used e-cigarettes in 2021, 37% also reported using cigarettes [3]. Dual use may lead to greater nicotine dependence and additive adverse health effects than single-product use [4]. Thus, quitting both products (ie, “dual tobacco cessation”) should be a goal to prevent health consequences.

Public Perception of the Tobacco 21 Amendment on Twitter in the United States: Observational Study

Public Perception of the Tobacco 21 Amendment on Twitter in the United States: Observational Study

In 2023, 12.6% of high schoolers reported current use of tobacco (in the past 30 days), including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah, heated tobacco products, and electronic nicotine delivery systems [1]. Furthermore, 3.9% of high schoolers reported current use of 2 or more products in the past 30 days [1] and are therefore more likely to continue nicotine use into adulthood [2-4].

Expectations and Preferences for Digital Cessation Treatment: Multimethods Study Among Older Adults Who Smoke Cigarettes

Expectations and Preferences for Digital Cessation Treatment: Multimethods Study Among Older Adults Who Smoke Cigarettes

More than half of older adults who smoke cigarettes want to quit [13], but only about a third (37%) use an evidence-based treatment when making a quit attempt [14]. However, when older adults do engage in evidence-based treatment, they experience comparable (and sometimes higher) quit rates compared to their younger counterparts [15].

Investigation of the Association Between e-Cigarette Smoking and Oral Mucosal Health Status Among Young People: Protocol for a Case-Control Trial

Investigation of the Association Between e-Cigarette Smoking and Oral Mucosal Health Status Among Young People: Protocol for a Case-Control Trial

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) were invented by a Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik, in 2003, who envisioned that they would replace conventional cigarettes due to their deleterious effects [4]. e-Cigarette companies claim that handheld devices can provide smokers with the same experience as conventional cigarettes while reducing their negative effects. e-Cigarettes were introduced with the hope that the smoking population would gradually stop using conventional cigarettes and switch to e-cigarettes.

Strengths and Limitations of Web-Based Cessation Support for Individuals Who Smoke, Dual Use, or Vape: Qualitative Interview Study

Strengths and Limitations of Web-Based Cessation Support for Individuals Who Smoke, Dual Use, or Vape: Qualitative Interview Study

Tobacco use behavior has shifted in recent years, particularly since the introduction of e-cigarettes; smoking rates have decreased, and e-cigarette use (also known as vaping) rates have increased. According to the 2020 Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey, smoking rates for those aged ≥15 years were at 10% (decreased from 12% in 2019), but vaping rates were at 17% (increased from 16% in 2019) [3,4].

Pilot Testing of an mHealth App for Tobacco Cessation in People Living With HIV: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Pilot Testing of an mHealth App for Tobacco Cessation in People Living With HIV: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

An estimated 40% of people living with HIV smoke cigarettes [1]. Smoking leads to many health problems among people living with HIV, including cardiovascular disease, pulmonary infections, bacterial pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer [2]. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among people living with HIV taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the United States [1,3].

Effects of Tobacco Versus Electronic Cigarette Usage on Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Suicidality Among Chinese Youth: Cross-Sectional Self-Report Survey Study

Effects of Tobacco Versus Electronic Cigarette Usage on Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Suicidality Among Chinese Youth: Cross-Sectional Self-Report Survey Study

Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes (ECs) are battery-based vaping devices simulating tobacco/conventional cigarette (CC) smoking by aerosolizing artificially manufactured liquid solutions containing nicotine for users’ inhalation [1]. The association between the usage of CCs and suicidality is well-established, with previous studies showing that regular usage of CCs is associated with an increased risk of suicidality (ie, suicidal ideation, plan, and attempt) [2-4].
