Background: This study reports on the development of pictorial health warning labels for electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) using the Delphi approach with a panel of tobacco control experts. Twenty-four evidence-based ENDS-specific warnings corresponding to three themes (toxicity, health risks and specific harm) were developed and used in the Delphi study.
Methods: We conducted a three-round online Delphi study among 60 experts (55% female) between June 2022 and April 2023.
Introduction: Youth represent a high-priority group for e-cigarette health communication. This study examined youth exposure to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) e-cigarette warning label over 4 years and its association with change in youth harm perception and intention.
Aims And Methods: We pooled data from the 2018-2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey (age 10-17; n = 67 159).
Background: While cigarette smoking has declined globally, waterpipe smoking is rising, especially among youth. The impact of this rise is amplified by mounting evidence of its addictive and harmful nature. Waterpipe smoking is influenced by multiple factors, including appealing flavors, marketing, use in social settings, and misperceptions that waterpipe is less harmful or addictive than cigarettes.

Data Sources And Study Selection: Six databases were searched for systematic reviews presenting evidence on ENDS-related health effects. Ninety reviews divided into five categories were included: toxicity=20, health effects=40, role in smoking cessation=24, role in transition to combustible cigarettes (CCs)=13 and industry marketing claims=4.
Tracheal extubation is an aerosol-generating medical procedure. Difficult tracheal extubation is a serious complication that increases the risk of respiratory aerosol and pathogen spread, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The management of difficult extubation is potentially even more challenging during the pandemic.
