E-cigarettes may help smokers stop or reduce smoking
Commentary on: McRobbie H, Bullen C, Hartmann-Boyce J, et al. Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation and reduction. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2014;12:CD010216. Context Tobacco smoking kills at least half of all continuing smokers. The nicotine in tobacco smoke is the main cause of addiction but causes almost none of the harm to health.1 Most smokers want to stop and many attempt to, but few succeed long term. Provision of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is a widely used and effective way of helping smokers to stop2 and is supported as harm reduction strategy.3 Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), which are not li...

Adolescent (Mis)Perceptions About Nicotine Addiction: Results From a Mixed-Methods Study
Conclusion. While adolescents have received the message that cigarettes are addictive, they are uncertain regarding the definition of addiction and have not recognized that addiction means experiencing difficulty quitting and continuing to smoke longer than expected. Findings suggest the need for comprehensive messaging regarding nicotine addiction in educational, clinical, and intervention settings and for product warning messages aimed at reducing and preventing tobacco use.

Perceptions and use of electronic cigarettes in pregnancy
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>Use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) is quickly growing in the United States, despite the unknown health implications and unregulated device contents. Although research is emerging around e-cigs in general, there continues to be a lack of scientific evidence regarding the safety and risks of e-cig use on maternal and fetal health, even though adverse health effects of nicotine on maternal and fetal outcomes are documented. This review summarizes existing perceptions of e-cig use in pregnancy, based on the limited number of publications av...

Using e-cigarettes in the home to reduce smoking and secondhand smoke: disadvantaged parents' accounts
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are subject to considerable public health debate. Most public health experts agree that for smokers who find it particularly challenging to quit, e-cigarettes may reduce harm. E-cigarette use in the home may also reduce children’s secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure, although e-cigarette vapour may pose risks. This is the first qualitative study to explore disadvantaged parents’ views and experiences of e-cigarettes in relation to reducing SHS exposure in the home. Interviews with 25 disadvantaged paren...

Taking Aim at the Injury Prevention Curriculum: Educating Residents on Talking to Patients About Firearm Injury
The medical community recognizes that firearm injury is a public health problem. Yet we lack both the tools for and the implementation of evidence-based firearm injury screening and counseling techniques. One reason for these deficits is the lack of clinical training related to engaging patients in firearm injury risk reduction. In this issue, Rickert et al describe a pre–post evaluation of a 2-part firearm injury prevention training curriculum for first-year medical residents at a single academic medical center. Their manuscript serves an important, but still preliminary, step forward for the field of postgraduate medic...

HHMI decides it takes a community to improve undergraduate science education
Bridget Trogden thought she knew the drill for winning a research grant: Write a proposal with her colleagues at Clemson University, where she is a professor of engineering and science education; submit it to a funder; and then pray it beats out hundreds of worthy competitors for a handful of awards. So Trogden was stunned when the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), one of the nation’s largest science philanthropies, informed her earlier this year— before she had even submitted a detailed proposal—that Clemson would be sharing in an $8.6 million grant for improving undergraduate science education. Clemson w...

Can taking up and then quitting smoking increase your salary? No | Suzi Gage
A Daily Telegraph headline claimed this was the route to higher wages, as ex-smokers were top earners in the USOK, first things first: taking up and then quitting smoking won't make you earn more. I think (well, I really hope) that the Daily Telegraph article is tongue in cheek, but even so, it's a stupid and frankly dangerous thing to say. Everyone knows smoking is a deadly habit, and that nicotine, when consumed by smoking a cigarette, is incredibly addictive.As Homer Simpson says to Bart when he announces he will take up and then quit smoking, it's "one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do". If people were to at...

Facebook and Twitter could be used to help people quit smoking
Conclusion This quasi-experimental study compared the effects of two smoking cessation interventions. The study reported that the use of social media and multi-component digital interventions is more effective in promoting smoking cessation than traditional quitline services. However, the researchers based their findings solely on the people who completed the final surveys, which will bias the results. This study has a number of other limitations, including the non-random assignment to study group, small sample size, and large loss to follow-up. The studies were also performed at different time points, which may have aff...
