Summary: Smoking-induced relief of craving is associated with enhanced functional connectivity between the dlPFC, a region crucial in decision making, and the striatum, the neural structure underlying motivated behavior. These findings suggest that the neural interactions between dlPFC and striatum may play a key role in craving.

Summary: The study found that youth with frequent convenience store access were more likely to develop a tendency for e-cigarette use, and exposure to retail e-cigarette marketing as well as having a favorite branded e-cigarette ad also increased the risk of youth e-cigarette use.

Summary: This study examines the effect of race/ethnicity on the preference for e-cigarette flavors and reasons for use among adult smokers. The results show that individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes are more likely to use menthol-flavored e-cigarettes, while non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals have lower odds of using e-cigarettes. In addition, older adults are less likely to use sweet-flavored e-cigarettes. Adults who smoke menthol cigarettes are more likely to enjoy the flavors of e-cigarettes, while non-Hispanic Black adults have lower odds of liking flavors, and Hispanic adults have lower odds of using e-cigarettes to cut down on cigarette smoking.

Summary: Long-term exclusive e-cigarette users generally have little interest in quitting e-cigarette use. Factors such as intention to quit, smoking history, e-cigarette dependence, device type and number of devices used are associated with e-cigarette quitting behaviors.

Summary: Despite limited understanding of the effects of e-cigarettes on reproductive health, their use among reproductive-aged women is increasing. This study found that women with disabilities were more likely to use e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and dual use compared to women without disabilities. Improved screening for nicotine product use among disabled reproductive-aged women may be necessary to reduce their use in this vulnerable population.

Summary: This study found that adults with psychopathic traits have increased volumes of the striatum, which may be partly mediated by stimulation-seeking and impulsivity. The results are consistent with the hypothesis of abnormal reward processing in psychopathy.

Summary: Recent increase in smokeless tobacco use raises concerns about its potential association with the use of other addictive substances like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and alcohol. Public health interventions are needed to address this trend and its adverse health consequences.

Summary: The study found that measures of alcohol reward are related to neural indices of monetary reward in humans, supporting the linkage between individual differences in responses to drug and nondrug reward. These findings suggest a risk profile for drug use or abuse, particularly in young adults.

Summary: The study found that individuals with depressive symptoms and those using medication for depression were more likely to use dual/poly tobacco products. The results suggest that screening for dual/poly tobacco product use should be included in assessments of individuals experiencing depressive symptoms and using medication for depression by primary care providers and psychiatrists.

Summary: The study in Massachusetts found that the implementation of flavored tobacco product restrictions was associated with a decrease in adolescent cigarette use, especially among those aged 14 to 18. Additionally, the enforcement of tobacco 21 policies also led to a reduction in teenage cigarette use.

Summary: This study found that perceived exposure to tobacco marketing and objective exposure to tobacco outlets with outdoor marketing were positively associated with daily cigar use among youth. Tobacco control efforts should consider both perceived and objective exposure and unique associations with blunt use to prevent cigar use.

Summary: Smoking and inhaling nicotine or burned carbon particles can increase blood lactate levels. Inhaling thermal air, regardless of its content, leads to increased blood lactate and decreased blood glucose levels. Exercise-induced lactate accumulation and performance are similar across different inhalation conditions.

Summary: Global signal regression is a controversial analysis method that reduces the reliability of functional connectivity estimates. This study compares static and dynamic forms of global signal regression, finding that the dynamic form provides better denoising in certain brain regions.

Summary: Cholinergic dysfunction has been implicated in mental disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. Research found abnormalities in the microstructural neuroimaging measures of the cholinergic nuclei in untreated psychosis patients, indicating a potential link between cholinergic dysfunction and the pathophysiology of mental disorders.
