Article Synopsis
- The study explores how well cancer patients understand the concentrations of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) in the cannabis products they use, which is important for assessing potential risks and benefits during treatment.
- Out of 343 cannabis-using cancer patients surveyed, less than 20% knew the THC and CBD concentrations in their products, with knowledge varying based on how the cannabis was consumed (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles).
- Findings highlight that factors such as how patients acquire cannabis and their current use significantly influence their knowledge of cannabinoid concentrations, suggesting a need for better education and information dissemination.
Introduction: Heated tobacco products (HTPs) and nicotine vaping products (NVPs) both are legal consumer products in the Republic of Korea. Little is known about perceptions of harmfulness of HTPs and NVPs relative to cigarettes in South Korea among adults who smoke, and how exposure to marketing may be associated with harmfulness perceptions.
Methods: This study used data from the 2020 International Tobacco Control (ITC) Korea Survey, and included 3713 adult (aged 19 years) cigarette smokers who were: 1) exclusive smokers (n=1845); 2) dual HTP + cigarette consumers (n=1130); 3) dual NVP + cigarette consumers (n=224); and 4) triple consumers (all three products, n=514).
