Article Abstract
Background: E-cigarette use is common among adolescents and young adults, yet little is known about e-cigarette cessation among this group. The current study assessed e-cigarette cessation attempts, interest in e-cigarette cessation, and methods of e-cigarette cessation most favored by young e-cigarette users.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered Facebook and Instagram between February and April 2019 to enroll current, regular e-cigarette using adolescents and young adults who reported non-regular use of other tobacco products. Participants included 212 (51.4% female) adolescents and young adults (14 to 21years of age) who reported six or more days of e-cigarette use and less than four days of other tobacco product use in the last 30days.
Results: More than half (=110; 51.9%) of the participants reported at least one past serious e-cigarette quit attempt. Among those, the average number of past quit attempts was 2.9 ( = 3.9). Of the 157 (74.1%) participants who indicated they were interested in quitting e-cigarettes, 78 (49.7%) endorsed health risks as their primary reason for wanting to quit e-cigarettes. The most frequently endorsed intervention methods to aid in e-cigarette cessation were those delivered digital methods, such as smartphone apps.
Conclusion: The current study provides preliminary data to support continued development of e-cigarette cessation treatments for adolescents and young adults. Future research should evaluate the potential use of digital methods to aid in e-cigarette cessation.

Are E-Cigarettes Substitutes or Complements to Combustible Cigarettes Among Youths? Evidence From Canada.
Health Econ

College of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.
Existing evidence on whether e-cigarettes are substitutes or complements to combustible cigarettes is limited and mixed. We revisit this question using nationally-representative Canadian survey data over 14 years (2004-2017) and difference-in-differences methods that exploit the staggered adoption of e-cigarette Minimum Legal Age (MLA) laws in Canadian provinces between 2015 and 2017. We study the laws' effects not only on youth smoking but also on smoking initiation and cessation to shed light on the mechanisms through which these laws affect youth smoking.

Aims: To determine patterns of e-cigarette flavour use (sweet, tobacco, menthol/mint) in interventional studies of e-cigarettes for stopping smoking, and to estimate associations between flavours and smoking/vaping outcomes.
Methods: Update of secondary data analyses, including meta-analyses subgrouped by flavour provision and narrative syntheses, incorporating data from January 2004 to February 2024. Eligible studies were identified from a Cochrane review.
Smoking cessation and harm reduction: a systematic overview of ongoing, randomized controlled trials.

Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, Faculty of Medicine, RWTH Aachen University, Pauwelsstraße 30, Aachen, 52074, Germany.
Background: Smoking remains one of the major public health threats, necessitating substantial scientific and societal interest in further developing and implementing systematic, smoking cessation trials. This review examines ongoing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on smoking cessation and harm reduction, focusing on adherence to German S3 guidelines for tobacco dependence and identifying areas needing further research and neglected aspects in the implementation of treatment guidelines for tobacco dependence.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, comprising multiple trial registries worldwide, to identify ongoing RCTs focusing on smoking cessation and harm reduction.

In 2019, we launched a web-based longitudinal survey of adults who frequently use e-cigarettes, called the Vaping and Patterns of E-cigarette Use Research (VAPER) Study. The initial attempt to collect survey data failed due to fraudulent survey submissions, likely submitted by survey bots and other survey takers. This paper chronicles the journey from that setback to the successful completion of 5 waves of data collection.
