Vaping is common among young adults in the United States. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) has demonstrated success in smoking cessation efforts; however, it has not been comprehensively applied to vaping cessation, and core TTM vaping measures have not been developed. A cross-sectional survey including measures of stage of change (SOC), temptation to vape, and decisional balance (DCBL) was disseminated ( = 459). Items were adapted from TTM smoking scales. The sample was split for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA/CFA). Analyses of variance assessed relationships between constructs and SOC. EFA/CFA resulted in one Temptation scale (CFI = .95; = .87) and two DCBL scales (CFI = .91; Pros = .72; Cons = .72). Temptation to vape and Pros of vaping decreased significantly across SOC, while Cons increased significantly. TTM vaping measures for two key TTM constructs were developed utilizing a college sample. Results suggest that the developed measures map well onto the TTM framework.

Harm reduction for addictive consumption: When does it improve health and when does it backfire?

Università di Bologna, Department of Economics, Piazza Scaravilli 2, 40126, Bologna, Italy. Electronic address:
Some harm reduction strategies encourage individuals to switch from a harmful addictive good to a less harmful addictive good; examples include e-cigarettes (substitutes for combustible cigarettes) and methadone and buprenorphine (substitutes for opioids). These have proven to be controversial. Advocates argue that people struggling with addiction benefit because they can switch to a less harmful substance, but opponents argue that this could encourage abstainers to begin using the harm-reduction method or even, eventually, the original addictive good.

Vaping rates among Canadian youth are significantly higher compared to adults. While it is acknowledged that various personal and socio-environmental factors influence the risk of school-aged youth for vaping uptake, we don't know which known behavior change factors are most influential, for whom, and how. The Unified Theory of Behavior (UTB) brings together theoretically-based behavior change factors that influence health risk decision making.
