Climate-related disasters pose significant risks to mental health and well-being globally. Individuals from disaster-prone regions, such as Puerto Rico, are at even greater risk. The devastating effects of recurrent hurricanes, compounded with pre-existing structural disparities (e.

Dose by design: How limits on nicotine flux and puff duration affect the abuse liability of electronic nicotine delivery systems.

Introduction: Electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) product standards for nicotine flux (nicotine emitted/second), combined with limiting puff duration, could control nicotine dose and support ENDS regulations. We assessed behavioral and subjective abuse liability indices for ENDS varying in nicotine flux with fixed puff duration among people who smoke.

Methods: This within-subjects study included 32 adults who smoked cigarettes.

Depression, Drinking to Cope, and Alcohol Use Severity Among Latinos Who Drink: The Moderating Role of Sex.

Objectives: The present study evaluated sex differences in the direct and indirect links between depressive symptoms, coping motives to drink, and alcohol use severity among Latinos who drink.

Results: Direct effects were significant in hypothesized directions such that depressive symptoms was positively associated with both coping motives to drink and alcohol use severity, and drinking motives to cope were positively associated with alcohol use severity.

Higher rates of tobacco use, compounded by stress from discrimination, contribute to lower cessation rates and worse smoking-related outcomes for SGM individuals. Having multiple stigmatized identities, such as identifying as SGM and being a person who uses cigarettes, may further increase smoking, and decrease the likelihood of cessation.
