Summary: The study found that in South Korea, middle-aged individuals, those with higher income and education levels, as well as those with past vaping experience, were more likely to use heated tobacco products (HTPs). Additionally, current smoking behavior and motivation levels for smoking cessation were not significant predictors of future HTPs use.

Summary: This study aims to determine whether heated tobacco products (HTPs) in Spain adhered to regulations on tobacco advertising. The results indicate that the promotion of HTPs followed the same patterns as brands falsely perceived as healthier alternatives. Policy-makers should impose restrictions on marketing tobacco products that associate them with health to prevent an increase in smoking behavior.

Summary: The introduction of electronic inhalable products has brought new challenges to the nicotine market, as the similar product designs may lead to measurement errors in self-reported product use. Strategies such as including descriptive preambles in surveys and probing beyond initial usage questions can be used to address this issue. Caution is advised when interpreting survey results relying on self-reported use, due to the lack of comprehensive validation studies.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the emission behavior of ammonia in heated tobacco products. The results showed that the emission amount of ammonia increased with higher heating temperatures, and the distribution of ammonia in gas and particle phases was also influenced by the heating temperature.

Summary: Heated tobacco products (HTPs) produce lower emissions of harmful substances compared to tobacco cigarettes, but may also deliver lower levels of nicotine. This study aimed to compare the nicotine delivery and satisfaction of two different HTPs with conventional cigarettes in users who had switched to HTPs. The results showed that both HTPs delivered comparable levels of nicotine, but significantly lower than conventional cigarettes, suggesting a lower addictive potential. Despite the different nicotine delivery, cravings were reduced by all products, indicating that HTPs do not necessarily require high nicotine levels to satisfy cravings like tobacco cigarettes do. These findings were further supported by an ad libitum use study.

Summary: This study compares the aerosol composition and health risks of heated tobacco products (HTPs), electronic cigarettes, and conventional cigarettes. The results indicate that HTPs and e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes, considering the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Summary: This study investigates the awareness and perception of heated tobacco products (HTPs) among tobacco users. It finds that the use of HTPs has exceeded expectations due to strategic marketing from tobacco companies. However, HTPs may not be considered as substitutes for conventional cigarettes when it comes to quitting smoking.

Summary: This study evaluates the pass-through of taxes to prices of heated tobacco products (HTPs) and cigarettes. The results show that the tax rate for HTPs is much lower than that for cigarettes, resulting in similar unit prices. Additionally, while cigarette taxes are fully passed on to prices, HTP taxes are not, indicating that the tax gap does not translate to price gap. This suggests that lower taxes on HTPs do not lead to lower prices compared to cigarettes and are unlikely to incentivize smokers to switch to HTPs for cost savings.

Summary: This study investigates the heat transfer mechanism and pyrolysis characteristics of carbon-heated tobacco products (CHTPs) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. The results show that hole location and puffing significantly affect the temperature distribution and yields of volatile species in the tobacco. Air flow rate through the hole is a significant factor for nicotine yield distribution.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between Japanese nursing professionals' perceptions, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behaviors concerning smoking cessation support (SCS). The findings showed that nursing professionals who engaged in daily SCS had higher scores in various measures, indicating that beliefs and recognition of the importance of SCS play a significant role in promoting SCS behaviors.
