Introduction: On April 20, 2020, New Jersey (NJ) implemented a comprehensive ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. This study compares sales of e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and cigars before and after the law.
Aims And Methods: Data were biweekly retailer scanner sales in NJ convenience stores for e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and cigars between August 2019 and December 2020.
Background: In the US, cigar warning label standards are less stringent than cigarette warning requirements and are not uniformly required; research is needed about warning efficacy in promoting cigar risk beliefs, discouraging use and supporting public health.
Methods: Using data from the PATH Study (Wave 5), we analyzed associations between noticing cigar warnings and perceived harm from cigar use, frequency of thinking about harms, and effects of warnings labels.
Results: Among adults who smoke cigars, respondents noticing warnings at least sometimes (vs.
Importance: Empirical evidence is needed on how a capitated, risk-based county plan performs as a viable public option in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace in California.
Objective: To estimate whether LA Care-a capitated, county-based public option and California's largest public insurer-was associated with health insurance premium growth in the Los Angeles (LA) regions of Covered California (CC), the ACA exchange in California.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This economic evaluation used ACA silver plan premium data within the 19 CC regions.
Importance: Physicians play a primary role in patient smoking cessation, yet their communication regarding e-cigarettes is not well understood.
Objective: To assess physician-patient communication regarding e-cigarettes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A national cross-sectional survey in 2018 and 2019 was conducted.
Although cigars pose health risks similar to cigarettes, their packaging/marketing is not subject to commensurate regulation in the US. In a 2000 agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, seven major manufacturers agreed to use some form of cigar warning. In 2016, the Food and Drug Administration passed a rule requiring larger standardized warnings, but the requirement was successfully challenged in court.
