Tobacco consumption in schizophrenia (SCHZ) patients is highly prevalent. Data support the occurrence of sequential events during comorbidity establishment, and both smoking first, SCHZ second and SCHZ first, smoking second sequences have been proposed. To investigate whether these two possibilities lead to distinct outcomes of comorbidity, we used a phencyclidine-induced SCHZ model and nicotine exposure as a surrogate of smoking.
Background: The acquisition of healthy lifestyle habits by adolescents is largely influenced by close interpersonal relationships including their parents and teachers.
Objective: Digital interventions have been widely implemented to promote tobacco cessation. However, implementations of these interventions have not yet considered how participants' e-cigarette use may influence their quitting outcomes. We explored the association of e-cigarette use and quitting smoking within the context of a study testing a digital tobacco cessation intervention among individuals in the United States who were 18 years and older, smoked combustible cigarettes, and enrolled in the intervention between August 2017 and March 2019.
Introduction: IQOS, a heated tobacco product (HTP), is among a growing number of noncombustible nicotine delivery alternatives marketed to people who smoke combustible cigarettes and are interested in less harmful alternatives. Little is known regarding whether IQOS use and IQOS-associated effects impact motivation to quit cigarette smoking.
Understanding the association between initial experimentation with a tobacco product and subsequent patterns of tobacco use among youth is important to informing prevention activities for youth in the US. We conducted an online survey from August to October 2017 among youth aged 13-18 years.
