Summary: Based on the findings, the use of e-cigarettes is closely associated with early-stage behavior in the smoking cessation process. E-cigarettes may encourage smokers to attempt quitting and achieve short-term cessation, but in the real world, they also contribute to smokers continuing to smoke without immediate intention to quit.

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: A study on US youth found that smoking prevalence decreased among those who regularly use electronic cigarettes, while intention to smoke in the future decreased or remained unchanged. The results provide little evidence that electronic cigarette use has increased conventional cigarette smoking among youth.

Summary: Limited information exists on multiple tobacco product use, particularly among youth. This study used data from the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey to assess the prevalence of youth e-cigarette use with other tobacco products and their associated characteristics. The study found that approximately four in 10 youth e-cigarette users reported using multiple tobacco products, with the majority using combustible tobacco. Frequent e-cigarette use and tobacco dependence symptoms were more prevalent among dual users of e-cigarettes and combustible tobacco.

Summary: This study describes the prevalence of tobacco, nicotine, and cannabis product use among Swiss secondary school students. It found that many students were attracted to smoking and regularly used new tobacco, nicotine, and cannabis products, although usage frequency varied. The most common daily use was reported for tobacco cigarettes, snus, and cannabis smoking with tobacco. Most participants reported using at least one product at least once within the last month.

Summary: Novel nicotine products, particularly e-cigarettes, have gained popularity as a potentially less harmful alternative to tobacco smoking, with evidence suggesting their role in smoking cessation. However, concerns about health consequences, particularly in non-smokers and long-term users, have been raised. Studies show distinct microbiome in e-cigarette users, possibly more pathogenic. Limited clinical evidence of oral health effects underscores the need for further research to understand potential harms and benefits of e-cigarette use.

Summary: Tobacco use poses significant risks to oral health, with a wide range of adverse effects and increased prevalence of oral diseases among smokers. The emergence of new tobacco and nicotine products, such as electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco, presents additional challenges for dental professionals. Understanding the implications of these products, as well as providing counseling and support for tobacco cessation, is crucial in managing periodontal disease and promoting oral health.

Summary: This study aims to assess the satisfaction of general dental practitioners in England with the current provision of advanced NHS restorative dentistry services and their views on managed clinical networks (MCNs). The results show that periodontics, endodontics, and tooth surface loss are the most important services, and there is dissatisfaction with the current provision in these areas. The survey also highlights differences in interest and barriers to joining MCNs based on gender and experience.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of dental unit waterline (DUWL) disinfectants on viral dispersion in dental bioaerosols and establishes a dual-tracer system for experiment validation. The results show that DUWL disinfectants reduce the viability of viruses in dental bioaerosols, suggesting their importance for routine infection control and during infectious disease outbreaks.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the influences governing the implementation of smokeless tobacco (ST) cessation support in dental hospitals in Pakistan. Dentists seldom screened ST users and only offered brief advice as cessation support. Barriers identified by dentists included fear, lack of knowledge and skills, lack of privacy, lack of belief in the effectiveness of behavioral support, lack of time and workload pressure, ST use in dentists, lack of referral systems, and absence of a mandatory requirement to offer cessation support. Facilitators included support delivery through junior dentists and longer interactions between dentists and patients. Patients reported receiving negligible cessation support from any healthcare provider.

Summary: Electronic cigarettes are a divisive topic among public health experts and researchers, with debates over whether they could increase smoking rates or be an effective tool for smoking cessation. Dental professionals play a key role in providing evidence-based advice on e-cigarettes, with UK supporting their use for Tobacco Harm Reduction. The potential harms from e-cigarette use are likely to be less than traditional cigarettes, particularly in terms of oral health effects.
