This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional cigarette smoking remains a major cause of significant morbidity and mortality in the United States. Although adolescent cigarette smoking rates have declined over the past decades, e-cigarette use is an emerging public health threat that can potentially stall or reverse this decline. Currently, e-cigarette use has become a social norm with its prevalence surpassing that of conventional cigarette smoking among adolescents. Adolescent e-cigarette users are at heightened risk of nicotine addiction and progressing to conventional cigarette smoking. However, factors underlying this progression are yet to be fully elucidated. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior as a conceptual framework, I conducted three studies that aimed to identify factors that potentially underlie progression from e-cigarette use to conventional cigarette smoking among US adolescents. With data obtained from two national surveys on adolescent risk behaviors: Monitoring the Future Survey and Population Assessment on Tobacco and Health, I examined smoking-related perceptions that make adolescent e-cigarette users susceptible to conventional cigarette smoking (Study 1); identified subgroups of adolescent e-cigarette users at most risk of exhibiting smoking intention (Study 2); and investigated how e-cigarette use moderates the transition from smoking intention to conventional cigarette smoking (Study 3). These three studies identify actionable predictors of conventional cigarette smoking among adolescent e-cigarette users and highlight potential foci for smoking prevention efforts. Findings suggest that negative attitudes and norms toward conventional cigarette smoking are major factors underlying progression to smoking among adolescent e-cigarette users. Also, three distinct subgroups of adolescent e-cigarette users were identified with each having particular smoking-related characteristics that determine their intention to smoke conventional cigarettes. Finally, transition from smoking intention to smoking initiation is moderated by e-cigarette use status, with smoking intention predicting smoking initiation only among adolescent never e-cigarette users. Adolescent e-cigarette users are at risk of progressing to smoking initiation whether or not they exhibit smoking intention, an indication that the influence of e-cigarette use on cigarette smoking may potentially override the protective effect of lack of smoking intention. Adolescents least likely to initiate conventional cigarette smoking in the current tobacco landscape do not have smoking intention and are abstaining from e-cigarettes

This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco use among youth and young adults in any form, including e-cigarettes, is not safe. In recent years, e-cigarette use by youth and young adults has increased at an alarming rate. E-cigarettes are now the most commonly used tobacco product among youth in the United States. This timely report highlights the rapidly changing patterns of e-cigarette use among youth and young adults, assesses what we know about the health effects of using these products, and describes strategies that tobacco companies use to recruit our nation's youth and young adults to try and continue using e-cigarettes. The report also outlines interventions that can be adopted to minimize the harm these products cause to our nation's youth.E-cigarettes are tobacco products that deliver nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and many of today's youth who are using e-cigarettes could become tomorrow's cigarette smokers. Nicotine exposure can also harm brain development in ways that may affect the health and mental health of our kids.E-cigarette use among youth and young adults is associated with the use of other tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes. Because most tobacco use is established during adolescence, actions to prevent our nation's young people from the potential of a lifetime of nicotine addiction are critical.E-cigarette companies appear to be using many of the advertising tactics the tobacco industry used to persuade a new generation of young people to use their products. Companies are promoting their products through television and radio advertisements that use celebrities, sexual content, and claims of independence to glamorize these addictive products and make them appealing to young people.

This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. Despite their popularity, little is known about their health effects. Some suggest that e-cigarettes likely confer lower risk compared to combustible tobacco cigarettes, because they do not expose users to toxicants produced through combustion. Proponents of e-cigarette use also tout the potential benefits of e-cigarettes as devices that could help combustible tobacco cigarette smokers to quit and thereby reduce tobacco-related health risks. Others are concerned about the exposure to potentially toxic substances contained in e-cigarette emissions, especially in individuals who have never used tobacco products such as youth and young adults. Given their relatively recent introduction, there has been little time for a scientific body of evidence to develop on the health effects of e-cigarettes. Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes reviews and critically assesses the state of the emerging evidence about e-cigarettes and health. This report makes recommendations for the improvement of this research and highlights gaps that are a priority for future research.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco use has prevailed in our society for decades. Over the time it has been available in various forms. The latest tobacco form trending in the society is as an electronic cigarette. E-cigarettes are defined as battery-operated products that deliver nicotine without the burning of tobacco (Glasser, et al., 2017). They are available in different shapes and forms, with a variety of flavors (Electronic Cigarettes, 2019). The basic idea behind the introduction of e-cigarette was as an alternative to conventional tobacco smoking and as a smoking cessation tool. E-cigarette has a long history from 1927 to 2006. Joseph Robinson in 1927 came up with an idea of e-cigarette and the first commercial e-cigarette was invented by Honk Lik in 2003 and was introduced to the market in 2006 (Cummings et.al., 2014 and Historical Timeline of Electronic Cigarettes (n.d.)). Within the first decade of introduction to the market, the e-cigarette use has increased worldwide, especially among adolescents and young. According to the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS), in the United States 5.3 million youths use e-cigarettes. Of those 5.3 million youths, 20.8% were in high school and 4.9% were in middle school. (CDC, Youth and Tobacco Use 2019). According to 2018 National Health Interview Survey prevalence of e-cigarette use among young adults in the US was 7.6% (Truth Initiatives, 2019). Surveys of students of Polish schools and universities show prevalence of e-cigarette use is 23.5% for 15-19 years and 19% for 20-24 years old (Goniewicz & Zielinska-Danch, 2012). In a Mexico survey, prevalence of e-cigarette trial was 7% among adolescents, 3% adult nonsmokers and 18% adult smokers (Zavala-Arciniega, et al., 2018). Sales of e-cigarettes have been increasing tremendously since 2007. Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is a term used for the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over time and it is predicted that the e-cigarette market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.4% rise from 2019 to 2024 reaching nearly USD 53.4 billion (Kumar K., 2019). With this increased use and sales of e-cigarettes, there is still a question regarding the safety of e-cigarette use. Advertising of e-cigarette portrays it to be safer than conventional tobacco and as a smoking cessation tool, targeting a large adolescent and young adult population (Zhu, et al., 2014). Various studies have been carried out giving cautious signal of it being harmful (Hua, Alfi, & Talbot, 2013; Lerner, et al., 2015 & Sussan, et al., 2015). Effect of nicotine has a long-term effect and e-cigarettes being new to market still studies need to be carried out, to determine the pros and cons of its use. This project seeks to understand the factors contributing to e-cigarette use among adolescents and young adults. The data showing increased prevalence among youth, and the potential health impacts is the basis for our project. Our project primary aim and related goals and objectives are as follows: Aim: To assess factors contributing to the use of e-cigarette Goal 1: Review the National Youth Tobacco Survey-2018. Specific Objective: Objective 1: To determine if there is variation for e-cigarette use by age groups Objective 2: To analyze if there is a difference among gender for e-cigarette use. Objective 3: To determine if there is difference among different grade levels for e-cigarette use. Objective 4: To analyze e-cigarette use among different races. Objective 5: To analyze various reasons influencing the use of e-cigarette among the users Objective 6: To determine the influence of media channels advertisements among e-cigarette users Goal 2: Survey California State University San Marcos students Specific Objectives: Objective 1: To analyze if media has higher influence for e-cigarette use compared to other factors. Objective 2: To determine whether internet media has higher influence for e-cigarette use compared to other media channels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Analytical Assessment of E-Cigarettes: From Contents to Chemical and Particle Exposure Profiles addresses the many issues surrounding electronic cigarettes in an unprecedented level of scientific detail. The plethora of product devices, formulations, and flavors, combined with the lack of industry standards and labeling requirements, quality control, and limited product oversight, has given rise to public concern about initiation of use and potential for adverse exposure and negative long-term health outcomes. This volume discusses how analytical methods can address these issues and support the manufacturing, labeling, distribution, testing, regulation, and monitoring for consistency of products with known chemical content and demonstrated performance characteristics. The book begins with the background on aerosol drug delivery services and e-cigarettes, constituents of nicotine-containing liquid dosing formulations, typical use scenarios and associated aerosol emissions, and chemical exposures and pharmacological and toxicological effect profiles, and then continues with descriptions of the analytical methods used to characterize the chemicals in formulations and emissions from e-cigarettes, including their stability, physical particle-size distribution and thermal degradation under commonly employed conditions of use. Analytical methods enabling detection of biomarkers of exposure and harm in complex biological matrices are discussed, with an emphasis on constituents or emissions of current medicinal interest or with potential to produce harm. Opportunities and challenges for analytical chemistry in supporting the continued development and use of safe and consistent dosage formulations as alternatives to tobacco products are also explored, with a concluding section describing an analytical approach to a risk-benefit assessment of e-cigarette use on human health. The Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series is published in partnership with RTI International and edited by Brian F. Thomas.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco use by adolescents and young adults poses serious concerns. Nearly all adults who have ever smoked daily first tried a cigarette before 26 years of age. Current cigarette use among adults is highest among persons aged 21 to 25 years. The parts of the brain most responsible for cognitive and psychosocial maturity continue to develop and change through young adulthood, and adolescent brains are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of nicotine. At the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products considers the likely public health impact of raising the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products. The report reviews the existing literature on tobacco use patterns, developmental biology and psychology, health effects of tobacco use, and the current landscape regarding youth access laws, including minimum age laws and their enforcement. Based on this literature, the report makes conclusions about the likely effect of raising the minimum age to 19, 21, and 25 years on tobacco use initiation. The report also quantifies the accompanying public health outcomes based on findings from two tobacco use simulation models. According to the report, raising the minimum age of legal access to tobacco products, particularly to ages 21 and 25, will lead to substantial reductions in tobacco use, improve the health of Americans across the lifespan, and save lives. Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products will be a valuable reference for federal policy makers and state and local health departments and legislators.

Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.

This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Public Health, , language: English, abstract: The link between e-cigarette smoking and mental health disorders youth in the United among States (US) is a topic of concern. The purpose of this case study is to examine the relationship between the initiation of cigarette smoking, combustible cigarette, and dual-product use among US youth. The study aims to estimate the longitudinal association between noncigarette tobacco use and subsequent cigarette smoke initiation among youth. The prevalence of mental health problems among youth with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is significantly higher than that among youth without ADHD. The study also seeks to investigate whether internalizing and externalizing problems are associated with cigarette use and initiation age of regular use among adolescents. Furthermore, the study also examines the extent to which cigarettes can cause physical and psychological health problems. The evidence suggests that there is an association between internalizing problems and cigarette usage among youth among the US. Further research is needed to fully understand this relationship.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Book excerpt: Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this final rule to deem products meeting the statutory definition of "tobacco product," except accessories of the newly deemed tobacco products, to be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act). The Tobacco Control Act provides FDA authority to regulate cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, smokeless tobacco, and any other tobacco products that the Agency by regulation deems to be subject to the law. With this final rule, FDA is extending the Agency's "tobacco product" authorities in the FD&C Act to all other categories of products that meet the statutory definition of "tobacco product" in the FD&C Act, except accessories of such newly deemed tobacco products. This final rule also prohibits the sale of "covered tobacco products" to individuals under the age of 18 and requires the display of health warnings on cigarette tobacco, roll-your own tobacco, and covered tobacco product packages and in advertisements. FDA is taking this action to reduce the death and disease from tobacco products. In accordance with the Tobacco Control Act, we consider and intend the extension of our authorities over tobacco products and the various requirements and prohibitions established by this rule to be severable.
