Although e-cigarettes are not a federally approved tobacco cessation aid in the US, many smokers use them to quit or cut down on smoking. Tailored behavioral support could improve rates of complete smoking cessation for those individuals. A novel behavioral treatment to help dual cigarette and e-cigarette users quit smoking was tested in a randomized pilot with a state tobacco quitline.
The growing popularity of Cannabis sativa L. and its widespread use for medical and recreational purposes have created an urgent demand of accurate and reliable analytical methods to identify and quantify a growing number of cannabinoids.
These findings demonstrate the feasibility of pulsed-nicotine infusions to model nicotine delivery by smoking. This model could inform future studies testing novel smoking cessation therapies and tobacco regulatory studies testing the impact of nicotine reduction approaches.
Menthol cigarettes were prohibited in England in May 2020 and nationally in Canada in October 2017 but remain permitted in the US. Evidence on the outcomes of menthol cigarette bans among youth outside of Canada, and the characteristics of youth smokers, is lacking.
US college students smoke hookah and vape nicotine at higher rates than other young adults. Density and/or proximity of hookah lounges and vape shops near colleges has been described, but this study is the first to test whether tobacco retailers spatially cluster near college campuses.

Asian Americans suffer high rates of smoking and tobacco-related deaths, varying by ethnic group. Trends of cigarette and alternative tobacco product use among Asian Americans, specifically considering ethnic group, sex, and nativity, are infrequently reported.
Satisfactory recovery results demonstrated that the as-prepared portable kit method with outstanding electrocatalysis ability was feasible for analysis of nicotine in tobacco. Moreover, the values obtained using the A-SPE were in good agreement with those determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), which confirms the feasibility and validity of the present method.
