Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) offer a promising approach to tobacco harm reduction, but many people use both ENDS and combustible cigarettes ("dual use"), which undermines potential risk reduction. To explore the role of ENDS nicotine delivery in promoting switching to ENDS, we conducted a study in which people who smoked cigarettes were offered an ENDS that had previously been shown to replicate the rapid nicotine pharmacokinetics of combustible cigarettes (BIDI Stick).

Methods: Twenty-five cigarette smoking adults, not seeking smoking cessation treatment, but open to using ENDS as a cigarette substitute, were provided with a 12-week supply of BIDI Stick in tobacco or menthol flavors, during a study that included seven biweekly sessions and a 6-month follow-up.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare past 12-month use of cigarette smoking cessation aids (e.g., Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved cessation products or e-cigarettes for smoking cessation) among people with substance use problems (PWSUPs) who currently smoke to people without substance use problems (SUPs) who currently smoke cigarettes in a nationally representative US sample.

Oxidative protein damage involving carbonylation of respiratory tract proteins typically accompanies exposure to tobacco smoke. Such damage can arise via multiple mechanisms, including direct amino acid oxidation by reactive oxygen species or protein adduction by electrophilic aldehydes. This study investigated the relative importance of these pathways during exposure of a model protein to fresh cigarette emission extracts.

Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are novel tobacco products that are alternatives to cigarettes. The study aimed to investigate the effect of HTPs on blood biomarkers of inflammation as well as to provide a comparative evaluation between daily heated tobacco users and healthy men who do not use nicotine products. This case-control study was carried out among 92 healthy males in Poland (Lodz-Province) aged 20-56 years: 44 daily heated tobacco users (daily use in the past 90 days) and 48 controls who do not use nicotine products.
