Objective: Dual use of combustible and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is increasing in prevalence and may be related to an increased risk for health problems. Accordingly, dual users represent a particularly vulnerable group. Neuroticism is an individual difference factor that demonstrates robust relations to combustible cigarette use. Yet, no work has examined neuroticism in relation to e-cigarette dependence or cognitions among dual users.
Methods: To address this limitation, the present study examined neuroticism in relation to e-cigarette dependence, expectancies about the negative effects of e-cigarettes, and perceived barriers for quitting e-cigarettes. The present study analyzed data collected from a cross-sectional survey of 437 dual combustible cigarette and e-cigarette users (49.9% female, M = 35.12 years, SD = 10.04).
Results: Results indicated that neuroticism was significantly, positively related to e-cigarette dependence (ΔR = 0.02, p < .001), expectancies about the negative effects of e-cigarettes (ΔR = 0.03, p < .001), and perceived barriers for quitting e-cigarettes (ΔR = 0.10, p < .001).
Conclusions: These novel findings suggest there may be merit in further exploring the role of neuroticism in the maintenance of concurrent combustible cigarette and e-cigarette use.

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.

Introduction: We conducted this review to examine the risk of e-cigarette dependence in different populations by updating the review on this topic by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine.
Methods: Six academic databases were searched for studies published between September 2017 and December 2023. We included peer-reviewed human, animal, cell/in vitro original studies examining associations of e-cigarette use and dependence but excluded qualitative studies.

Background: Since their inception, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) have gained increasing popularity, sparking a vaping epidemic among adolescents in the US and globally. Several ENDS safety concerns have emerged as device features and formats that contribute to heavy metal exposure and toxicity continue to evolve and outpace regulatory efforts.
Objectives: Our objective was to integrate ENDS emission profiles with salivary proteome and metabolome data to characterize exposure factors that may influence adverse vaping-mediated health outcomes.
