Summary: The study found that smokers showed reduced inhibitory control in contexts of reward, leading to faster response times, indicating an enhanced approach bias to reward-related stimuli. This suggests that smokers may have difficulty in controlling their impulses in rewarding situations, possibly due to heightened sensitivity to rewards.

Summary: Smoking is a major cause of diseases and death, and nicotine addiction makes quitting challenging. Medical interventions can effectively help smokers quit. This study compares the characteristics of patients who visited a smoking cessation clinic once with those who visited multiple times, in order to identify factors associated with repeat clinic visits.

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of combustible cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and heated tobacco products among Korean adults were 24.8%, 6.8%, and 10.2% respectively. The use of HTP and EC alone or in combination was associated with increased attempts to quit smoking, while HTP and EC use was associated with lower odds of smoking abstinence.

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.

Summary: This study validates e-cigarette dependence scales using dynamic patterns of e-cigarette use behaviors and finds that more stable use patterns are associated with higher levels of dependence. Additionally, the dependence scales may capture the average consumption but not the instability of product-specific consumption.

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 evaluated the neurocognitive correlates of problem alcohol use and three non-substance-related addictive behaviors using a large community sample. The results showed differential associations between neurocognition and each addictive behavior, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of non-substance addiction.

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.

Summary: Although smoking rates have declined, especially among individuals with mental health concerns, effective messaging that emphasizes the benefits of quitting on mental health is still important. 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.
