Summary: Since the introduction of electronic cigarettes to the U.S. market in 2007, vaping prevalence has increased significantly in adult and adolescent populations. Concerns have been raised by the U.S. government and health professionals about the attraction of e-cigarettes to young non-smokers. A dynamical systems model was developed to analyze the competition between traditional and electronic cigarettes, predicting changes in smoking prevalence and determining the conditions under which e-cigarettes may benefit or harm society's public health.

Summary: In December 2019, a US Army training battalion in Virginia decided to ban tobacco and nicotine products after surveying trainee soldiers. The implementation process involved careful planning and data collection to address nicotine dependence and improve the health of soldiers. The intervention model offers comprehensive resources and therapy for long-term quitting.

Summary: This study is one of the largest to date and provides strong evidence that chronic smoking is associated with cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients. This goes against the self-medication hypothesis and suggests that ex-smokers may represent a specific subgroup.

Summary: The association between smoking and postoperative weight loss outcomes in bariatric surgery patients is not significant based on current evidence. However, more robust studies are needed to confirm this relationship due to the variability in study designs and analyses.

Summary: This narrative review discusses the impact of cigarette smoking and other tobacco/nicotine products on cardiovascular disease, highlighting the importance of rapid risk reduction after quitting smoking. In addition to cigarette smoking, the review also examines the effects of other combustible tobacco products, smokeless tobacco, electronic nicotine delivery systems, and second-hand smoke on cardiovascular health.

Summary: This secondary analysis of a randomized trial of mailed nicotine patches found that purchasing additional NRT was not associated with long-term success in tobacco cessation. Current smokers continue to show interest in NRT for quitting smoking.

Summary: This study evaluated smoking cessation treatment receipt and 1-year post-screening cessation outcomes in the Veterans Health Administration. Findings showed that only a small percentage of veterans who received tobacco treatment were able to quit smoking, and treatment and cessation were influenced by various factors.

Summary: This study found that nicotine can induce macrophage pyroptosis by increasing the expression of LINC01272, which competitively binds with miR-515, reducing the inhibitory effect of miR-515 on its target gene KLF6. This finding is important for understanding the mechanism of nicotine-induced atherosclerosis.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed a high prevalence of cigarette smoking among women worldwide, with a pooled prevalence of 28% for ever smoking and 17% for current smoking. Educational programs are crucial for reducing smoking prevalence among women.

Summary: This narrative review examines the epidemiology, consequences, and treatment options of tobacco use disorder (TUD) and nicotine dependence (ND) in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). The study found that smoking rates are 2-3 times higher in individuals with BD compared to community samples. Smoking has a detrimental impact on both mental and physical health as well as mortality in individuals with BD. Treatment options include pharmacological interventions and psychosocial interventions.

Summary: The study found that older smokers were more likely to smoke daily and less likely to attempt and succeed in quitting smoking. Younger smokers were more likely to achieve at least 30 days of abstinence, but the age effect disappeared when controlling for heaviness of smoking. Significant interactions were found between age and intention when predicting quit attempts, and age and heaviness of smoking when predicting quit success.

Summary: The flavor is the most important factor influencing the preferences of young adults who vape weekly. Gender differences exist in preferences for flavors, nicotine levels, and product messaging. Understanding the reasons behind individuals' choices of e-cigarette products can help inform public health efforts and policy making.

Summary: This study compared the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and tolerability profiles of two nicotine pouch variants with cigarettes. The results demonstrated that nicotine pouches may provide an acceptable alternative for adult smokers to achieve satisfactory nicotine delivery levels with lower abuse liability and addictive potential compared to continued cigarette smoking.

Summary: This study found that targeted interventions for smokers with chronic pain can increase their motivation to quit smoking and willingness to engage in smoking cessation treatment. By providing knowledge about the relationship between pain and smoking, these smokers can become more aware of how smoking may exacerbate their pain.

Summary: Research suggests that intolerance for nicotine withdrawal among cigarette smokers may lead to more severe insomnia symptoms, potentially explaining the higher incidence of clinically significant insomnia among smokers. Therefore, it is recommended that intolerance for nicotine withdrawal be considered as a potentially modifiable mechanistic factor in comorbid insomnia and nicotine/tobacco dependence.

Summary: Despite its frequent use for pain relief, experimental research on cannabidiol (CBD) in humans is lacking. This study tested the effects of CBD and expectancies for receiving CBD on human pain reactivity and found that CBD analgesia is influenced by both psychological expectancies and pharmacological action. Future investigations on the underlying mechanisms of CBD analgesia are needed.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that acute alcohol administration significantly impairs working memory in healthy adults, particularly when executive-related manipulation processes are involved. These findings have important implications for understanding the impact of alcohol on cognitive function and its association with self-regulation and hazardous behaviors.

Summary: This systematic review synthesizes literature on BAI implementation in medical settings, with penetration and acceptability identified as the most commonly reported outcomes. Studies suggest that patients and providers are accepting of BAI implementation efforts, and there is promising evidence that these efforts help expand the reach of BAIs.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the descriptions of interventions and treatment-as-usual (TAU) control groups in randomized controlled trials, and to assess the impact of the level of detail on treatment effects. The findings demonstrated the effectiveness of brief alcohol interventions in medical settings. However, the lack of clarity in the descriptions of TAU raises concerns about the validity of the trials, emphasizing the need for more detailed reporting and the use of TIDieR guidelines.
