Temporal associations linking alcohol and cannabis use to cigarette smoking in young adults engaged in a tobacco cessation and relapse monitoring study
Addict Behav. 2023 Oct 31;149:107902. doi: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107902. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTYoung adulthood remains a developmental period in which cigarette smoking initiation and progression to dependence and regular use is common. Moreover, co-use of alcohol and/or cannabis with tobacco is common in this age group and may have detrimental effects on tobacco use rates and cessation outcomes. Although young adults are interested in quitting smoking, achieving abstinence remains difficult, even with evidence-based treatment strategies. Understanding proximal associations between other substance use (e.g., alcoho...

Behavioral Activation-Based Digital Smoking Cessation Intervention for Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: A mobile app intervention tailored for depression paired with a sample of NRT was effective for depression treatment and smoking cessation. Findings support the utility of this intervention approach for addressing the currently unmet public health treatment need for tailored, scalable depression-specific cessation treatments.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03837379; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03837379.PMID:37910157 | DOI:10.2196/49809 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Smoking Cessation Practices in a Level 3 Irish Hospital
Smoking is a leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality(1). Hospitalization is an opportunity for smoking cessation. Referral to a cessation service, as recommended by NICE, is not available in our hospital.This cross-sectional study on medical inpatients occurred in December 2022. A questionnaire-based interview was applied which described patients’ smoking behaviour and cessation support to date. The response rate was 30%.Of 46 patients, 73% had a smoking history. 21% were active smokers. 1 patient vaped. The average age of smokers was 64 and non-smokers was 76. There was no gender difference between grou...

Bladder cancer patient and provider perspectives on smoking cessation
CONCLUSIONS: Bladder cancer patients utilize a variety of cessation strategies with "cold turkey" being the most used method, and many patients make multiple attempts at smoking cessation. Providers confront multiple barriers to conducting smoking cessation, including inadequate time and training in cessation methods; however, most would be willing to receive additional education. These results inform future interventions tailored to bladder cancer clinicians to better support provider efforts to provide smoking cessation counseling.PMID:37805339 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.08.017 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Goal-directed versus outcome-based financial incentives for smoking cessation among low-income, hospitalised patients: rationale and design of the Financial Incentives for Smoking Treatment II (FIESTA II) randomised controlled trial
Introduction Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the USA. Low utilisation of treatments for smoking cessation remains a major barrier for reducing smoking rates. Financial incentives represent an innovative approach to increasing use of therapies for smoking cessation. This paper will describe the rationale and design of the Financial Incentives for Smoking Treatment II (FIESTA II) study, a randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of goal-directed and outcome-based financial incentives to promote smoking cessation among hospitalised smokers. Methods and analysis We ar...

Cigarette Smoking Abstinence Among Pregnant Individuals Using E-Cigarettes or Nicotine Replacement Therapy
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: These findings suggest that individuals who used e-cigarettes during pregnancy had a higher smoking abstinence rate in late pregnancy than individuals who used NRT, especially for those who initiated e-cigarette use before pregnancy, indicating that replacement of cigarettes with e-cigarettes during pregnancy may be a viable strategy for harm reduction.PMID:37698863 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.30249 (Source: Cancer Control)

Pharmacological and electronic cigarette interventions for smoking cessation in adults: component network meta-analyses
CONCLUSIONS: The most effective interventions were nicotine e-cigarettes, varenicline and cytisine (all high certainty), as well as combination NRT (additive effect, certainty not rated). There was also high-certainty evidence for the effectiveness of nicotine patch, fast-acting NRT and bupropion. Less certain evidence of benefit was present for nortriptyline (moderate certainty), non-nicotine e-cigarettes and tapering of nicotine dose (both low certainty). There was moderate-certainty evidence that bupropion may slightly increase the frequency of SAEs, although there was also the possibility of no increased risk. There wa...
