Effects of exposure to anti-vaping public service announcements among current smokers and dual users of cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery systems

Abstract

Viewing anti-vaping PSAs with vapor was not associated with unintended effects and may have benefits on reducing smoking and vaping-related outcomes.

Cue Reactivity to Electronic Cigarettes: A Systematic Review

“…Additional secondary outcomes investigated in selected reviewed studies are presented next, including significant results on analyses: urge to vape, 66 , 69 urge to smoke, 70 , 85 intention to quit smoking or remain abstinent from smoking, 66 , 67 desire to smoke and vape, 66 self-efficacy (for smoking cessation and continued abstinence), 67 intentions to smoke or vape, intentions to buy ENDS and traditional cigarettes. 84 In this latter study, Tan et al reported that anti-vaping advertisements without vapour was associated with lower intention to buy ENDS and tobacco cigarettes in the smokers group; and in dual users, the exposure to the advertisement reduced the intention to purchase ENDS. In terms of ENDS rewards, De La Garza et al, 79 found that although a 16 mg/ml dose of nicotine though ENDS cue exposure (use) relieved withdrawal symptoms, it did not produce a rewarding feeling when compared to participants’ own tobacco cigarettes.…”

“…Cue exposure to ENDS was found to enhance craving for conventional (tobacco) cigarettes in 10 studies, 67 , 70 - 77 , 82 while eight studies reviewed did not demonstrate such a relationship. 65 , 66 , 68 , 78 , 79 , 83 - 85 To ensure that this dichotomy was not the result of study quality or design, the groups were compared for whether studies had been conducted in person or online, their number of participants, year of publication, the generation of ENDS used and the quality or Risk of Bias assessment. No differences were found.…”

“…Tan et al 84 compared the responses of exclusive tobacco smokers and dual users to vaping cues in anti-ENDS public service announcements. They found that for smokers, the ENDS cues lowered the intention to use ENDS or buy and smoke cigarettes, yet at the same time increased the urge to use ENDS or smoke (compared to no cue).…”

Helping the quitters quit: A systematic review and narrative synthesis of the barriers and facilitators to e-cigarette cessation and the support that is needed

“…One of these was slightly different to the others [34] in that the authors investigated what e-cigarette users might find useful in a cessation service. Three studies investigated the impact of interventions to support cessation [33,36,41]. Participants were either adults [30-34, 36, 39] young adults (age slightly varied across studies, ranging from 16-35 years) [30,31,40,41] or adolescents and young people (middle and high school and college ages 12 to 21 years) [35].…”

Some studies considered elements of e-cigarette smoking that are not relevant to our questions.…”
