Background And Object: Whether opioid-receptor mu 1 (OPRM1) A118G polymorphism (rs1799971) is associated with nicotine dependence is controversial. We analyzed the combined results from published studies of this possibility.
Methods: Literature reviews were performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Web of Science, Chinese National Science Infrastructure (CNKI), PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar database searches using MeSH terms were conducted to find all relevant researches up to October 2016. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated in allele, homozygote, heterozygote, dominant and recessive models. Ethnicity-specific subgroup meta-analysis, heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis and publication bias were considered.
Results: Seven eligible studies with 3313 patients were included. The ORs in the five genetic models mentioned above were 1.000 (95% CI: 0.906, 1.104; p = 0.999), 1.032 (95% CI: 0.771, 1.381; p = 0.834), 0.963 (95% CI: 0.799, 1.162; p = 0.696), 1.006 (95% CI: 0.916, 1.104; p = 0.907), 0.967 (95% CI: 0.715, 1.309; p = 0.830), respectively. Only in dominant model is the association significant. Upon ethnicity-specific subgroup analysis, there is no statistical significance.
Conclusion: OPRM1-A118G polymorphism (A>G) is not associated with nicotine dependence.

Nicotine and tobacco use disproportionally affects sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations in the United States. Social media narratives may contribute to these disparities. This qualitative study delineated perceptions and experiences depicted in SGM-related videos about nicotine vaping on TikTok.

Introduction: The growing prevalence of E-cigarette use among adolescents is alarming because it increases the probability of persistent tobacco use and addiction to nicotine. Healthcare providers are in a unique position to influence their patients' use of E-cigarettes. The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency at which providers screen adolescents for E-cigarette use and advise against use during healthcare visits.

Background: Tobacco smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death, whereas chronic pain is the leading cause of disability. Chronic pain and tobacco smoking are closely interrelated. We investigated whether pain predicts daily cigarette smoking and if daily cigarette smoking predicts the development of pain.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, with approximately 70% of cases linked to modifiable risk factors. Digital health solutions offer potential for CVD prevention; yet, their effectiveness in covering the full range of prevention strategies is uncertain.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize current literature on digital solutions for CVD prevention, identify the key components of effective digital interventions, and highlight critical research gaps to inform the development of sustainable strategies for CVD prevention.
