“…SDMs include ancillary factors regulating nicotine dependence like affiliative attachment, cue exposure, and taste, and are strongly correlated to pleasure and relief derived from nicotine use (Smith et al, 2010;Tarantola et al, 2017). In contrast, primary dependence motives (PDMs) are the core features of nicotine dependence including factors like automaticity, craving and tolerance that are more related to physical nicotine dependence (Adkison et al, 2016;Smith et al, 2010). Score on an SDM scale is less correlated with nicotine dependence than PDMs and is not correlated with daily cigarette count, but is still a significant predictor of cigarette craving (Tarantola et al, 2017).…”

The rise of e-cigarette popularity has sparked interest in the role of palatable flavors on nicotine use. Despite growing evidence that sweet flavorants enhance nicotine reward, their influence on nicotine consumption has not been studied extensively. In addition, the impact that flavored nicotine use in adolescence could have on nicotine reward and dependence in adulthood remains unclear. This study examined the role of flavored nicotine access on nicotine preference and consumption longitudinally, from adolescence to adulthood. Male and female adolescent mice preferred a fruit-flavored nicotine solution. However, only adolescent female mice with access to flavored nicotine consumed higher doses. Furthermore, while adolescent male mice escalated consumption of both flavored and unflavored nicotine, female mice only escalated when given access to flavored nicotine. As mice matured into adulthood, there was no evidence that a history of flavored-nicotine access altered preference for unflavored nicotine. However, when the nicotine concentration was reduced, mice that had consumed strawberry-flavored nicotine in adolescence maintained baseline nicotine consumption levels longer than mice that initiated nicotine use without flavor in adolescence. Finally, addition of fruit-flavorants into the nicotine solution during adulthood led to increased levels of nicotine consumption, regardless of previous flavored-nicotine access or of familiarity with the selected flavorant. These results indicate that flavorants increase nicotine consumption independent of life stage, possibly posing a disproportionate risk to adolescent females. Our results also point to an effect of adolescent flavored-nicotine use on nicotine dose maintenance in adulthood, which could have implications for the success of future quit attempts.

Perceptions of “Natural” and “Additive-Free” Cigarettes and Intentions to Purchase

In August 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to cigarette manufacturers promoting brands as "natural" or "additive-free" because of concerns that such marketing claims might mislead consumers into believing that these brands are less dangerous to smoke than others. The current study examined consumer beliefs about the relative harms of "natural" cigarettes, and whether these beliefs influenced perceptions of advertising and purchase intentions when participants were shown an advertisement for American Spirit cigarettes. Data were collected using a web-based survey conducted in 2013 among 3,006 U.S.-based web panel members aged 15 to 65 years. Ratings of "natural" cigarette health risks (i.e., misperceptions) differed by sex, race, education, smoking status, and age. Controlling for perceived risks of other cigarette types, never smokers ( B = -0.31, p < .001) and ever/former smokers ( B = -0.15, p = .002) had significantly fewer misperceptions of "natural" cigarettes than current smokers. Current smoking (odds ratio [OR] = 17.8), believing the ad was truthful (OR = 1.18), and having more misperceptions about "natural" cigarette health risks (OR = 1.13) were independently associated with greater purchase intention. Consumers perceived cigarettes marketed as "natural" or "additive-free" as less harmful, and this influenced their perceptions of advertising claims and intention to purchase, controlling for other factors. These findings underscore Food and Drug Administration's recent warning letters.

“…The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study, a large survey of a representative sample of the US adult population, enables population-based comparisons of dependence on cigarettes and e-cigarettes. PATH's dependence scale was largely drawn from the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM) [9] and the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS) [10], which have been extensively validated for assessing dependence in smokers, demonstrating relationships to other dependence scales, self-rated addiction, cigarette consumption, laboratory self-administration, persistence or progression of use, craving, withdrawal, and relapse [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. WISDM items have also been validated in e-cigarette users [14].…”

Background and aims Cigarette smoking often results in nicotine dependence. With use of electronic cigarettes as an alternative source of nicotine, it is important to assess dependence associated with e‐cigarette use. This study assesses dependence among current and former adult e‐cigarette users on cigarettes and e‐cigarettes, compared with dependence on cigarettes. Design Cross‐sectional data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study from 2013–2016. Psychometrically assessed dependence was compared for cigarettes and e‐cigarettes among current and former exclusive and dual users of the products and among e‐cigarette users who had and had not recently stopped smoking. Setting A population‐based representative sample of US adults. Participants Participants were 13 311 US adults (18+) in Waves 1–3 of PATH reporting current established smoking, current use of e‐cigarettes, or stopping use of either product in the past year who were administered dependence assessments for cigarettes and/or e‐cigarettes. Measurements A 16‐item scale assessing tobacco dependence (on a 1–5 scale), previously validated for assessment and comparison of dependence on varied tobacco products, including cigarettes and e‐cigarettes, with a variation assessing residual dependence among users who stopped in the past year. Findings Among current users, dependence on e‐cigarettes was significantly lower than dependence on cigarettes, in within‐subjects comparisons among dual users of both e‐cigarettes and cigarettes (1.58 [SE = 0.05] vs. 2.76 [0.04]), P < 0.0001), and in separate groups of e‐cigarette users and cigarette smokers (1.95 [0.05] vs. 2.52 [0.02], P < 0.0001), and among both daily and non‐daily users of each product. Among former users, residual symptoms were significantly lower for e‐cigarettes than cigarettes, both among former dual users (1.23 [0.07] vs. 1.41 [0.06], P < 0.001) and among users of one product (1.28 [0.03] vs. 1.53 [0.03], P < 0.0001). The highest level of e‐cigarette dependence was among e‐cigarette users who had stopped smoking (2.17 [0.08]). Conclusion Use of e‐cigarettes appears to be consistently associated with lower nicotine dependence than cigarette smoking.
