Safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes in those with atherosclerotic disease: a review
Open Heart. 2023 Dec 7;10(2):e002341. doi: 10.1136/openhrt-2023-002341.ABSTRACTSmoking cessation is the most effective intervention to reduce mortality in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), with 'e-cigarettes' becoming an increasingly used intervention to achieve smoking cessation. The current review aims to summarise the current evidence base for their efficacy and safety in the ASCVD cohort. A search of the PUBMED and MEDLINE databases using the terms 'e-cigarette', 'cessation', 'safety' and 'efficacy' since 2012 yielded 706 results. Both observational and experimental studies were ...

Clinical impacts of an integrated electronic health record-based smoking cessation intervention during hospitalisation
Conclusions An EHR-based clinical decision-making support embedded into admission and discharge documentation was associated with an increase in NRT prescriptions and improvement in quit rates. Similar systemic EHR interventions can help improve smoking cessation efforts after hospitalisation. (Source: BMJ Open)

Smoking cessation and its significant role in the Indian scenario
Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2023 Dec 4. doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2023.2814. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the increased health dangers of tobacco use, particularly in developing countries, smoking cessation intervention is crucially important. The aim of this study is to determine and assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive smoking cessation intervention program, incorporating behavior modification, counseling, and pharmacologic treatments, in the context of the Indian scenario. The process of initiating smoking or tobacco cessation begins with the evaluation of the distinct stages that smokers undergo as part of their j...

Is hospitalization a missed opportunity to intervene on tobacco cessation?
CONCLUSIONS: Despite hospitalization being associated with NRT prescribing, most patients who use tobacco and are hospitalized are not prescribed NRT. Hospitalization is an underutilized opportunity for both hospitalists and primary care physicians to intervene on smoking cessation through education and prescription of tobacco cessation aids.PMID:38043793 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2023.11.024 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

Outback Quit Pack: Feasibility trial of outreach smoking cessation for people in rural, regional, and remote Australia
CONCLUSION: The Outback Quit Pack intervention was feasible and acceptable. Alternative methods for remote biochemical verification need further study. SO WHAT?: A powered RCT to test the effectiveness of the intervention to improve access to evidence-based smoking cessation support to people residing in RRR areas is warranted.PMID:37968784 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.827 (Source: Rural Remote Health)
