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.

Clinical factors associated with smoking cessation among smokers with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by sex: Longitudinal analyses from French smoking cessation services.

Background: Smoking is responsible for 80 % of cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), while the prognosis is improved by smoking cessation (SC). We examined clinical factors associated with SC among smokers with COPD comparing women and men.

Methods: The study comprised a cohort of 1470 smokers who visited a SC service and completed at least 28-day of follow-up visits.

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.

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.

Predictors of Smoking Cessation Attempt and Continued Abstinence among Low-Income Disabled Smokers: Evidence from the French National Smoking Cessation Cohort CDT-Net.

: In France, daily smoking has been highly prevalent among low-income smokers.: Our aim was to search for factors associated with both continued abstinence and attempting to quit among low-income disabled smokers. : From the French national smoking cessation cohort CDT-net, we included 1624 adults living with disability pension or disabled adult allowance.
