Article Abstract
E-cigarettes are widely advertised, while the potential risks of e-cigarette use have been reported among adolescents. This study assessed online e-cigarette information exposure and its association with adolescents' e-cigarette use in Shanghai, China. A total of 12,470 students aged 13-18 years participated. A questionnaire collected information on students' sociodemographic factors, e-cigarette information exposure, cigarette use, e-cigarette use, and e-cigarette use intention. A multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess correlates of exposure to e-cigarette information and the association between e-cigarette information exposure and e-cigarette use. Overall, 73.9% of students knew about e-cigarettes and the primary sources of information were the internet (42.4%), movies/TV (36.4%), bulletin boards in retail stores or supermarkets (34.9%), advertising flyers (33.9%), and friends (13.8%). Students who had friends using e-cigarettes were curious about e-cigarettes and showed a greater monthly allowance; smokers and females were at a higher risk of social media and website exposure. Moreover, online information exposure (social media exposure, website exposure, and total internet exposure) was significantly associated with the intention to use e-cigarettes. The enforcement of regulations on online e-cigarette content should be implemented. Moreover, efforts to prevent young people from using e-cigarettes may benefit from targeting students at a higher risk of online e-cigarette information exposure.

The use of electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products is increasing among adolescents and young adults. Tobacco companies offer these devices to enhance the smoking experience by magnifying its attractive and minimizing the negatives associated with the consumption of conventional cigarettes. The objective of this review is to update the available knowledge on the impact of these devices, both from an individual perspective, in terms of their effects on health, and from a public health perspective due to direct exposure and the effects derived from the second and third hand emissions.

Introduction: Periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PDL-MSCs) are promising cells with crucial roles in maintaining and repairing periodontal tissue. However, their regenerative capacity can be influenced by various factors, including cigarette smoke and electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) aerosols. Smoking and vaping can impair their regenerative potential, and even though ENDS are perceived as safer tobacco products, there is a lack of evidence to guarantee this assumption.
