This study examined differences in quit attempts, 1-month quit success, and vaping status at follow-up among a cohort of 3709 daily smokers with and without depression, anxiety, and regular alcohol use who participated in both the 2018 and 2020 International Tobacco Control Four Country Smoking and Vaping (ITC 4CV) Surveys. At baseline, a survey with validated screening tools was used to classify respondents as having no, or one or more of the following: 1) depression, 2) anxiety, and 3) regular alcohol use. Multivariable adjusted regression analyses were used to examine whether baseline (2018) self-report conditions were associated with quit attempts; quit success; and vaping status by follow-up (2020).

- This study analyzed data from 3,906 adults (ages 18+) across Canada, the US, England, and Australia to investigate the prevalence and causes of negative side effects from nicotine vaping products (NVPs).
- Results showed that 87.1% of participants reported no negative effects, with the most common issues being throat irritation, cough, and mouth irritation, and only a small percentage sought medical advice.
- Factors linked to higher reports of side effects included being younger, still smoking, vaping for less than six months, and using nicotine or certain flavors like menthol/mint while vaping.
Article Synopsis
- This study updates previous research on cigarette and heated tobacco product (HTP) sales trends in Japan from 2011 to 2023, using full unit sales data instead of partial data.
- Researchers analyzed sales data using joinpoint regression to identify trends for cigarettes, HTPs, and their combined sales over the years.
- The results showed a dramatic decline in cigarette sales (52.6% per capita) and a significant rise in HTP sales, indicating that while cigarette sales are dropping, HTPs are becoming more popular.
Background: This study aimed to investigate whether perceived vaping addiction is a predictor of quitting nicotine vaping product (NVP) use among adults who have ever smoked and currently vape exclusively or predominantly in four countries: Australia, Canada, the US, and England.
Method: Data analysed (n = 574) came from participants (aged 18 + ) who completed the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Four Country Smoking and Vaping survey in 2018 and again in 2020. Baseline inclusion criteria were: (1) currently not smoking or non-daily smoking; and (2) using NVPs daily/weekly for a period of at least 4 months.
