Summary: This study explored the association between adolescents' exposure to e-cigarettes in the social environment and their e-cigarette use in Shanghai, China. The findings showed that adolescents with exposure to secondhand e-cigarette aerosol, e-cigarette sales, e-cigarette information, and parents' and friends' e-cigarette use were more likely to have the intention to use e-cigarettes. Gender and school type differences were also observed, suggesting the need for targeted interventions for girls and different types of schools.

Summary: The study found that trajectories of e-cigarette use during adolescence are influenced by factors such as age, age of onset, frequency, and escalation in use, with younger cohorts exhibiting more problematic trajectories. Primary prevention is crucial, interventions to prevent teen e-cigarette use must start early in middle school and continue throughout adolescence.

Summary: The study evaluated the prevalence of dual use of tobacco products among Korean adolescents and its associated factors, finding that dual use was strongly linked to younger age, early smoking initiation, exposure to secondhand smoke, and heavy smoking. Limited smoking cessation attempts, secondhand smoke exposure in public, and easy access to cigarettes decrease the likelihood of adolescents becoming dual users.

Summary: The introduction of e-cigarettes in the US was followed by a slowing decline in current cigarette smoking and an acceleration in the decline of ever cigarette smoking. Traditional psychosocial risk factors suggest that most current cigarette smokers may continue smoking, while only a small percentage of current e-cigarette users may switch to cigarettes in the future.

Summary: People with disabilities have a higher prevalence of smoking, but there is limited knowledge about cessation interventions tailored for them. This study conducted a systematic review and found two promising interventions using mindfulness-based procedures in adults with mild intellectual disability. However, the interventions did not address the unique needs of people with disabilities.

Summary: Sleep is important, but staying up late has become a problem, especially among university students. Previous studies have found a connection between sleep procrastination, sleep biorhythms, and problematic smartphone use (PSU). This two-wave study explored the reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, while also considering the moderating role of sleep biorhythms. The results revealed a reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, with sleep biorhythms moderating this relationship.

Summary: Despite the availability of subsidized smoking cessation services in Israel, social disparities in smoking cessation rates persist. Efforts should focus on reaching subpopulations with low cessation rates and using tailored strategies for successful smoking cessation. Prioritizing smoke-free homes and workplaces is also important.

Summary: This meta-analytic review provides the first estimation of the overall bidirectional longitudinal associations between loneliness and problematic Internet use (PIU). The study finds a positive relationship from loneliness to PIU, as well as from PIU to loneliness. Additionally, the study reveals that this relationship is stronger in Eastern countries, with more males, more young adults, and in more recent years.

Summary: The study examined the metacognitive traits of adolescent and young adult e-cigarette users and the ability of the Metacognitions about Smoking Questionnaire (MSQ) to predict past 30-day e-cigarette use frequency. The results showed a correlation between metacognitive factors and e-cigarette use behavior, with different factors having different predictive abilities for e-cigarette use frequency.

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulation strategies in reducing harms associated with in-play sports betting. The results showed that setting monetary limits was effective in reducing financial, interpersonal, and health harms. However, setting time limits was found to increase spending and overall harms. These findings support the applicability of select self-regulation strategies from traditional forms of gambling to in-play betting, and highlight the need for further research on responsible gambling strategies.

Summary: This longitudinal study used a person-centered approach to differentiate fear of missing out (FoMO) among subgroups of individuals using latent profile analysis (LPA). The results showed significant differences between profiles in terms of social media engagement, social media self-control failure, and problematic social media use, and high trait-FoMO and high state-FoMO may be important risk factors for social media self-control failure and problematic social media use.

This study shows that focusing on the mental health benefits of quitting smoking can increase motivation to quit among individuals with a history of anxiety and/or depression.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between trajectories of prescription drug misuse (PDM) problems and college students' mental health and subjective happiness. The findings indicated that PDM problems were related to depressive symptoms, disinhibition, callousness/aggression, and lower levels of subjective happiness. However, these associations were no longer statistically significant when controlling for alcohol and other drug problems.

Summary: This study examines the co-occurring patterns of problem gambling and addiction severity over a five-year period and predicts the factors influencing these patterns. The results suggest that in a non-clinical sample, problem gambling and other addictive behaviors are likely to decrease simultaneously over time, and mental health disorders significantly influence these co-occurring patterns.

Summary: This study examined the associations between empirically-generated body mass index (BMI) trajectories and the risk of current use of combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes among adolescents. The findings showed that overweight and obese adolescents were more likely to use combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes compared to those with normal weight trajectories. Additionally, adolescents with fluctuating BMI trajectories were associated with higher weight control beliefs. These results highlight the importance of considering weight trajectories and weight control beliefs in understanding tobacco product use among adolescents.

Summary: Chemsex refers to the intentional use of substances in sexualized settings among men who have sex with men. It is a growing public health issue with estimated prevalence rates of 3% to 29% in this population. Chemsex poses risks such as HIV and STI exposure, addiction, cardiovascular problems, and mental health issues. However, there is a research gap in this area, and existing theoretical concepts and therapeutic strategies for addictions and risky sexual behaviors may not be applicable to chemsex due to its unique characteristics and impact on stigmatized minorities.
