The QuitNic pilot trial aimed to test the feasibility of providing a nicotine vaping product (NVP) compared with combination nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to smokers upon discharge from a smoke-free residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment service.
Pediatric providers play an important role in parental and youth smoking cessation. The goal of this study was to understand smoking cessation attitudes of parents and the behaviors, confidence and self-efficacy of pediatricians related to providing smoking cessation counseling to parents and youth.
Behavioral simulation of smoking with or without nicotine reduces nicotine craving. Compared to cigarettes, ENL with NL or NL alone attenuates cigarette craving over time. Future clinical trials should evaluate the combination of ENL and NL as a method for smoking reduction or cessation.
E-cigarette use was associated with smoking reduction and cessation attempt for individuals who have used it for less than one year and additional benefits are expected to occur with a longer duration of use. Former users of e-cigarettes had poorer outcomes than those who have never used them.
There is strong evidence that a range of pharmacologic and behavioral interventions, both individually and in combination, are effective in increasing smoking cessation in nonpregnant adults. In pregnancy, behavioral interventions are effective for smoking cessation, but data are limited on the use of pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation. Data on the effectiveness and safety of electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation among adults are also limited and results are inconsistent.
We undertook this systematic review to support the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in updating its 2015 recommendation on tobacco cessation interventions for adults, including pregnant women. Our review addressed the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapy, behavioral interventions, and electronic cigarettes for tobacco cessation.
A growing body of literature suggests daily, but not non-daily, e-cigarette use is associated with greater odds of quitting combustible cigarettes in the general adult population. However, it is unknown if these findings generalize to treatment-seeking smokers who are receiving a behavioral intervention. Our primary aim was to examine whether frequency of e-cigarette use was associated with subsequent cessation among treatment-seeking smokers who are receiving a behavioral smoking cessation intervention.
Our data showed that dietary supplementation with vitamin D3 ameliorated nicotine withdrawal-induced anxiety, which may be related to downregulation of NR2A expression in hippocampus. Vitamin D3 may provide a new dietary intervention with the easy access for smoking cessation.
