Summary: This study found that individuals who simultaneously used conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes had the highest odds of developing hypertension compared to non-smokers. The association between the use of both cigarette types and hypertension was significant in males, while only the use of conventional cigarettes and past smoking were significant in females.

Summary: Latinos are underrepresented in clinical trials, and this study compares the effectiveness of different recruitment strategies for Latino smokers in a smoking cessation trial. The results show that low-effort recruitment strategies are more likely to attract eligible participants, and the recruitment method is associated with participants' characteristics.

Summary: Genome-wide association studies have identified the BDNF locus on chromosome 11 as the only SNP associated with both smoking behavior and body mass index in multiple populations. This study reveals a unique genetic predisposition to obesity in former smokers with certain BDNF SNPs, particularly in heavy smokers. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms of these associations.

Summary: This study investigated the quit rates among attendees of a smoking cessation clinic in Hunan and identified predictors of successful smoking cessation. Results showed that frequent follow-up sessions, previous quit attempts, and deciding to quit immediately or within seven days were significant factors in predicting successful smoking cessation.

Summary: The C3I program found that implementing comprehensive tobacco treatment programs and improving the staff-to-patient ratio can increase the reach of cessation treatment. Strengthening the tobacco treatment team and providing more resources can improve the effectiveness of smoking cessation.

Summary: The use of smoking cessation aids in England has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an increase in the use of remote support and prescription medication, while the use of other aids did not change significantly. It is inconclusive whether the pandemic has affected the real-world effectiveness of these cessation aids.

Summary: The CNHBM aims to document human exposure to environmental chemicals in the Chinese population, establish a national biorepository, and follow the same participants in subsequent cycles for dynamic data sets. The program collected blood and urine samples from over 21,000 participants to measure a variety of chemicals and establish a comprehensive understanding of environmental toxicity in China.

Summary: The Tips From Former Smokers campaign conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2012 to 2018 resulted in an estimated 129,100 premature deaths avoided, 803,800 life years gained, 1.38 million quality-adjusted life years gained, and $7.3 billion in healthcare sector cost savings. The campaign was associated with cost savings per lifetime quit of $11,400, per life year gained of $9,100, per premature deaths avoided of $56,800, and per quality-adjusted life year gained of $5,300.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions targeted at patients with chronic diseases. It found that an intervention with an intensive schedule delivered by healthcare professionals was more effective in promoting smoking cessation in patients with chronic diseases compared to minimal counseling. More attention and resources should be directed towards smokers with no intention to quit, especially those with chronic diseases.

Summary: There is evidence connecting mental illness to adverse health conditions, including oral health. However, the longitudinal associations between mental and oral health are not well-studied. This study found that symptoms of internalizing problems (related to depression and/or anxiety) are plausible risk factors for future oral disease. Better integration and coordination of mental and oral health treatment and prevention are recommended.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a prognostic scoring tool to predict loss to follow-up (LTFU) among TB patients who smoke, in order to improve successful TB treatment outcomes. Using longitudinal data from the Malaysian Tuberculosis Information System (MyTB) database, a simple prognostic score (T-BACCO SCORE) was constructed. The model exhibited fair discrimination and good calibration, making it a reliable tool to predict the risk of LTFU among TB patients who smoke.

Summary: The study found that using menthol cigarettes decreased the probability of successfully quitting smoking, while switching from menthol to non-menthol increased the likelihood of quitting successfully. This effect was slightly larger for non-Hispanic Black smokers, but did not differ for other demographic groups.

Summary: This study examines the affective responses elicited by different types of cigarette pack designs among smokers. The results show that different pack designs evoke different affective valence and types. GWL packs evoke negative affect, blank packs elicit neutral responses, and smokers' own packs elicit positive affect.

Summary: ObjectivesTo project cigarette consumption and set state-specific targets, this study analyzed trends in smoking behaviors and state-level data. The findings showed a decline in per capita cigarette consumption in the US since 1980, but with significant variations across states. The study also revealed growing inequality in cigarette consumption among states. Based on forecasts, only 12 states have a realistic chance of achieving target levels of consumption by 2035.

Summary: Since 1997, there has been a significant decline in cigarette smoking among individuals under 24 years old in the US. However, there has been an increase in nicotine vaping among the 17-18 age group from 2017 to 2019. The increase in vaping is independent of the decline in cigarette smoking.

Summary: This study explored the temporal patterns of daily tobacco product use among ever users from 2018 to 2019. The results showed a slight increase in the daily tobacco use rate, but it was not statistically significant. Most daily users continued to use their primary product, but there was also some evidence of switching to other products.

Summary: This study found that the level of tobacco dependence among most US tobacco product users remained stable over time, except for e-cigarette-only users. For cigarette-only smokers, switching to another product or not using any tobacco product was associated with lower levels of dependence. Not using any tobacco product was consistently associated with lower dependence for all other product users.
