Sex-specific predictive factors of smoking cessation in subjects at high cardiovascular risk.

Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in particular in women, but smoking cessation (SC) reduces or even cancels the risk for both sexes. Using a nationwide SC services database, we aimed to determine the predictive factors of SC in men and women smokers with CV risk factors (CVRF) or CVD. A retrospective study from the French CDTnet database was conducted.

Factors associated with smoking cessation in exclusive smokers and dual users of e-cigarette and conventional cigarettes from CDTnet registry.

Dual use of electronic cigarettes and conventional cigarettes may be a transitional state towards cigarette smoking cessation. However, maintaining dual use may increase tobacco-related consequences as smoking behavior persists. The aim of our study was to describe characteristics of dual users and explore factors associated with their one-month abstinence in comparison to exclusive smokers in French smoking cessation services (SCS).

Cardiovascular Risk Among Patients Who Smoke: Risk Profiles and Differences by Sex.

Introduction: Smoking is particularly harmful to the cardiovascular system, and smoking-cessation is a key target for cardiovascular prevention. From a large nationwide database on subjects who visited smoking-cessation services, this study assessed the profile and abstinence rate comparing female with male smokers at high cardiovascular risk.

Methods: This was an observational study from the French smoking-cessation services cohort (French national cohort Consultations de Dépendance Tabagique) between 2001 and 2018.

Work Conditions are Associated with Alcohol Use after Taking into Account Life Conditions Outside of Work: Findings from a French Occupational Health Service.

: Our aim was to examine whether work conditions could be associated with alcohol use even after taking into account life conditions outside of work. : In 2019, 591 consecutive French workers were screened for alcohol use with the (FACE). Ten different work conditions and four life conditions outside of work were assessed with 5-item Likert scales.

Tobacco-related cardiovascular risk in women: New issues and therapeutic perspectives.

Background: Smoking is the main modifiable risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction, particularly in women; its prevalence in France is evolving, and new patterns of nicotine consumption have emerged.

Aims: To present contemporary data on smoking prevalence and the use of electronic cigarettes, and to describe current knowledge of the cardiovascular risk specificities and the effectiveness of withdrawal methods in women.

Method: We identified studies by searching the MEDLINE bibliographic database between 1995 and 2020, and the Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin (Bulletin Épidémiologique Hebdomadaire) published by the French health authorities.

Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics of Vapers Using E-Cigarettes Exclusively: The French Vapoquid Study.

Electronic cigarettes are increasingly being used as smoking cessation aids. Most studies assess the dual use of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, but there remains a paucity of literature concerning individuals who use e-cigarettes exclusively. : The aim of this study is to examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of exclusive e-cigarette users, and consider their willingness to quit e-cigarette use.

Smoking cessation using preference-based tools among socially disadvantaged smokers: study protocol for a pragmatic, multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Many smoking cessation aids such as nicotine replacement treatments and e-cigarettes have been proven effective in aiding smoking cessation attempts. Encouraging smokers with low socioeconomic position (SEP) to choose their smoking aid tool based on their preferences, and giving that tool free of charge, might increase the odds of smoking cessation. This trial examines the effectiveness of the 'STOP' (: Smoking cessation using preference-based tools), a preference-based smoking cessation intervention for smokers with low SEP.

Smoking cessation using preference-based tools: a mixed method pilot study of a novel intervention among smokers with low socioeconomic position.

Background: Compared to smokers with favorable socio-economic position (SEP), those with low SEP are less likely to have a successful smoking cessation attempt. Tailored approaches are therefore needed, and general practitioners could help reaching and assisting usually hard-to-reach population.

Method: STOP (Sevrage Tabagique à l'aide d'Outils dédiés selon la Préférence) is a pilot study, examining the feasibility, acceptability and potentiality of a smoking cessation intervention centered on smoker's preference.

Do the associations between the use of electronic cigarettes and smoking reduction or cessation attempt persist after several years of use? Longitudinal analyses in smokers of the CONSTANCES cohort.

Introduction: We examined whether duration of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use could be associated with smoking reduction or cessation attempt.

Methods: 5,409 current smokers at baseline enrolled in the French CONSTANCES cohort in 2015 or 2016 were included. Duration of e-cigarette use was categorized as follows: never; former user for more than one year; former user for less than one year; new user for less than one year; return to use for less than one year; regular use for one to two years; regular use for more than two years.

Introduction: Given the high prevalence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) amongst patients in Emergency Rooms (ER), it is recommended to carry out a systematized screening of at-risk drinkers, followed if necessary by a brief intervention (BI) to prevent AUD-related damages. This intervention has been the subject of numerous efficacy and feasibility studies. The purpose of this review of the literature is to identify optimal strategies for systematic screening and BI that can be deployed in the ER.
