Cigarette Smoking Relapse Among People Who Switched to E-cigarettes or Other Tobacco Products.

Introduction: Little is known about how quitting and switching to other tobacco products affects cigarette smoking relapse. Additionally, there is no consensus on the best definition of relapse.

Aims And Methods: Respondents who smoked cigarettes at baseline, had quit by the first follow-up, and completed the second follow-up survey in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study were included.

The Benefits of Quitting Smoking at Different Ages.

Introduction: Quantifying the impact of smoking on life expectancy and the potential benefits of smoking cessation is crucial for motivating people who smoke to quit. While previous studies have attempted to estimate these effects, they were conducted more than a decade ago and did not include a significant demographic, people over 65 years old who smoke.

Methods: Mortality rates by age and smoking status were calculated using mortality relative risks derived from Cancer Prevention Study II, 2018 National Health Interview Survey smoking prevalence data, 2018 U.

Evaluating trends in cigarette and HTP use in Japan and measurement issues in the National Health and Nutrition Survey.

Introdution: Studies have reported that the rapid rise in heated tobacco product (HTP) sales in Japan accompanied an accelerated decline in cigarette sales. However, these studies do not distinguish whether those who previously smoked cigarettes became dual users with HTPs (smoking fewer cigarettes) or instead switched completely to HTPs. If HTPs present lower health risks than cigarettes, replacing cigarettes with HTPs is more likely to improve public health than cigarette users continuing as dual users.

The Potential Impact of Oral Nicotine Pouches on Public Health: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: Oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) are a new class of nicotine products. This scoping review summarizes evidence on ONPs and explores their potential public health impact.

Aims And Methods: We conducted a structured literature search for empirical studies across three electronic databases through January 10, 2024.

New Estimates of Smoking-Attributable Mortality in the U.S. From 2020 Through 2035.

Introduction: The often-cited Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate of 480,000 annual U.S. smoking-attributable deaths (SADs), including 439,000 first-hand smoke deaths, derives from 2005 to 2009 data.

The association between cannabis vaping and other substance use.

Introduction: The popularity of cannabis vaping has increased rapidly, especially among adolescents and young adults. We posit some possible explanations and, to evaluate them, examine whether cannabis vapers differ from non-vaping cannabis users in other substance use.

Methods: Using nationally representative data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study wave 5 (Dec.

The evolution of age-specific smoking cessation rates in the United States from 2009 to 2017: a Kalman filter based approach.

Background: Tracking the US smoking cessation rate over time is of great interest to tobacco control researchers and policymakers since smoking cessation behaviors have a major effect on the public's health. Recent studies have employed dynamic models to estimate the US cessation rate through observed smoking prevalence. However, none of those studies has provided annual estimates of the cessation rate by age group.

The Evolution of Age-Specific Smoking Cessation Rates in the United States From 2009 to 2018.

Objective: Tracking the US smoking cessation rate over time is of great interest to tobacco control researchers and policymakers since smoking cessation behaviors have a major effect on the public's health. A couple of recent studies have employed dynamic models to estimate the US cessation rate through observed smoking prevalence. However, none of those studies has provided recent annual estimates of the cessation rate by age group.

The Association Between Cannabis Use and Subsequent Nicotine Electronic Cigarette Use Among US Adolescents.

Purpose: The current study assessed the association between cannabis use among youth never e-cigarette users and subsequent e-cigarette use.

Methods: The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study is a nationally representative cohort study. Participants aged 12 years and older were selected using a 4-stage, stratified probability sample design from the US civilian, noninstitutionalized population.

Association of Electronic Cigarette Use by US Adolescents With Subsequent Persistent Cigarette Smoking.

Importance: Many studies have reported a positive association of youth electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use with subsequent cigarette smoking initiation, but it remains unclear whether e-cigarette use is associated with continued cigarette smoking after initiation.

Objective: To assess the association of youth baseline e-cigarette use with their continued cigarette smoking 2 years after initiation.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study is a national longitudinal cohort study.

The actual and anticipated effects of restrictions on flavoured electronic nicotine delivery systems: a scoping review.

Objective: To synthesize the outcomes of policy evaluations of flavoured electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) restrictions.

Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science before May 3, 2022.

Study Selection: Studies that report sales, behaviour, or compliance outcomes related to implemented or hypothetical ENDS flavour restrictions.

A Proposed Policy Agenda For Electronic Cigarettes In The US: Product, Price, Place, And Promotion.

Growth in the market for electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) raises complex questions about the devices' public health implications and, hence, challenging policy issues. We propose a policy agenda addressing concerns about preventing youth uptake of e-cigarettes and the desire to realize the potential of e-cigarettes to increase adult cigarette smoking cessation. We organize interventions according to the "four Ps" of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion.

Health Effects of Electronic Cigarettes: An Umbrella Review and Methodological Considerations.

E-cigarettes are often marketed as a safer alternative to combustible cigarettes. However, their health effects, especially those associated with long-term use, remain largely uncertain. We conducted an umbrella review of the cardiopulmonary and carcinogenic risks of e-cigarette use, distinguishing between short-term and long-term health effects.

Monitoring the Increase in the U.S. Smoking Cessation Rate and Its Implication for Future Smoking Prevalence.

Introduction: We calculate the U.S. adult smoking cessation rate for 2014-2019, compare it to the historical trend, and estimate the implication for future smoking prevalence.
