To evaluate and start a discussion on the potential usefulness of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven natural language processing technology such as the ChatGPT in tobacco control efforts, specifically vaping cessation.
Large scale human genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a growing pool of genes associated with cigarette smoking. One of the most prominent, phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B), has been associated with multiple smoking phenotypes.
Tobacco use is a risk factor for COVID-19 adverse outcomes. Despite health implications, data conflict regarding COVID-19 and tobacco consumption. We present results from a survey of health behaviors during the pandemic to identify how COVID-19 influenced tobacco use.
To understand the contextual and psychosocial factors associated with youth vaping in Colorado, the state with the highest youth vaping rates in 2019, and to propose strategies for prevention interventions.
Deletion of the tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase ( TDO2 ) gene induces an anxiolytic-like behaviour in mice and TDO inhibition by allopurinol elicits an antidepressant-like effect in rats exposed to restraint stress.
Complexation of nicotine (NCT) and magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS) has been formed in the dispersions that required multiple preparation steps. In this study, physical blending was used to produce NCT-MAS complexes. NCT, a free-base liquid state form, was adsorbed onto the MAS granules, where the diffusion and intercalation of NCT molecules into the MAS silicate layers occurred.
Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or vaping associated lung injury (EVALI) cases have increased with the popularity of e-cigarettes in the mostly young, healthy population. Some common symptoms associated with EVALI include shortness of breath and chest pain, and the most common diagnostic imaging findings are organizing pneumonia and diffuse alveolar damage seen on computed tomography (CT).
Naswar, a smokeless tobacco product, commonly consumed in Pakistan, is associated with a 10-fold increase in the risk of oral cancer. However, little is known about Naswar's underlying toxicity mechanisms.
