Using more than one tobacco product increases the risk of tobacco-related diseases. We investigated trends in the prevalence and dual use of factory-made (FM) cigarettes, other tobacco products, and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in South Africa over a 12-year period.
Rates of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use are exponentially increasing in youth and young adults within the United States, including Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) youth in Hawai'i. Disproportionately high ENDS use rates for AANHPI youth point to the need to understand the empirical literature in this area.
The increasing use of e-cigarettes among the youth is a public health problem that needs surveillance. We report changes in e-cigarette use, cigarette smoking, and 'dual use' among youth in 10 countries.
Despite evidence on the effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions in dental settings, the implementation remains low, especially for smokeless tobacco (ST). The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the influences governing the implementation of ST cessation support in dental hospitals.
In the wake of continued consumer demand despite increasing regulatory scrutiny, there is a need to develop systematic methods for identifying the harm profile of new psychoactive substances derived from hemp.
Smoking during pregnancy is associated with multiple undesirable outcomes in infants, such as low birth weight, increased neonatal morbidity and mortality, and catastrophic conditions like sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Smoking cessation therapy, including nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), is used perioperatively to assist patients to reduce their tobacco smoke intake and consequently decrease their risk of smoking-associated complications.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are customizable tobacco products that allow users to select e-liquid composition, flavors, and (in some devices) adjust wattage or heat used to generate e-cig aerosol.
