“…Clinicians and researchers may want to focus their efforts on interventions for Black smokers and/or develop methods for assessing motivation to quit that fit into the PED and UC work flows. Although other research has shown that lower income groups were not receptive to cessation interventions 24,[30][31][32] , we did not observe any differences in interest in NRT with respect to either income or education. Moreover, we did not observe higher rates of interest in parents with higher nicotine dependence as seen in other studies 24,33 , but this is most likely due to the overall lower levels of nicotine dependence observed in our sample.…”

“…This finding suggests that the administration of free NRT may be received better in the UC setting, but further research to explore the reasons for interest in NRT is warranted. Similar to other research 24 , 28 , 29 , we also found that parents who were Black or more motivated to quit were more receptive to cessation efforts. These findings are clinically relevant to decision-making about NRT.…”

“…In contrast, only 67% of parents in the present study were interested but 100% of these parents who had no contraindications received NRT during their child's emergency and 79% reported some use. Since NRT is the preferred choice of cessation medication of many smokers 24,25 , our findings suggest that the provision of free NRT is acceptable to adult smokers in the emergency setting.…”

INTRODUCTION Although the administration of free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is effective in helping smokers quit, the feasibility, acceptability and safety of this practice have not been examined in the emergency setting of the pediatric emergency department (PED) or urgent care (UC). We examined the characteristics of parental smokers who were interested and eligible for free NRT during their child’s emergency visit and the uptake, usage, and associated side effects of NRT use. METHODS We analyzed data from 377 parental smokers who were randomized to receive cessation counseling and free NRT as part of an emergency visit-based randomized controlled trial. Parents interested in NRT were screened for medical contraindications; eligible parents were given a 6-week supply of NRT patches or lozenges during their child’s emergency visit and offered another supply 6 weeks later. We conducted Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and chi-squared tests to address our main study objective. RESULTS The majority of parents were female (87.5%), non-Hispanic Black (52.5%), and mean (SD) age was 33.1 (8.2) years. A total of 252 (66.8%) parents were interested in receiving NRT. Compared to uninterested parents, interested parents were more likely to: be older [33.6 (8.2) vs 31.9 (8.2), years]; be non-Hispanic Black (54.0% vs 49.6%); have older children [5.5 (5.0) vs 4.2 (4.6)]; have a higher readiness to quit [7.0 (2.4) vs 5.2 (2.6)]; and have a child being evaluated in UC compared to the PED (72.4% vs 56.5%). A total of 53 (21%) interested parents had >1 NRT contraindications. At 6 weeks, 94 (79.0%) parents reported some ≥NRT usage and 50 (53.2%) requested an additional 6-week supply. There were no serious adverse events and 5 (5.3%) reported minor side effects. CONCLUSIONS Parental smokers in the emergency setting are interested in receiving free NRT, the majority use it, and use is not associated with adverse side effects. The emergency visit may be an optimal time to offer NRT to parental smokers.

“…With the rapidly changing landscape of tobacco use in the United States, it is critical that cessation efforts focus not only on cigarettes, but the totality of tobacco products 24 . During tobacco cessation counseling, it is critical to take into consideration nicotine dependence, which may affect preferences on tobacco cessation methods 25 . In our study, despite declines in combustible tobacco smoking in 22 states between 2010/2011 and 2014/2015, aggregate tobacco consumption decreased only in 13 states, likely because of unchanged prevalence of smokeless tobacco use in most states.…”

“…Smokers seeking assistance for smoking cessation are more likely to be women, older smokers, and heavy smokers [7]. A recent study found that younger smokers, in addition to heavier smokers and those with previous quit attempts, were more willing than older smokers to use an evidencebased smoking cessation method [20]. Smokers with high consumption of cigarettes have a stronger preference for choosing pharmacotherapy than do light smokers [7,20,21].…”

In addition to traditional smoking cessation methods like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), new methods such as mobile applications and e-cigarettes have been added to the toolbox. The purpose of this study was to examine which methods smokers currently use in quit or reduction attempts and map characteristics of users of the various methods. In this study, participants were smokers who visited a website or called a quit line for smoking cessation and who were currently in quit or reduction attempts ( N = 740 ). Data were collected in Norway in 2013–2017 through a web survey. Most smokers were currently trying to quit, and the most frequently used methods were a smoking cessation app for mobile phones, nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs), and e-cigarettes. Logistic regression analyses identified older daily smokers with high cigarette consumption as NRT users, while the users of a cessation app were younger females. The use of e-cigarettes was associated with older, low educated smokers with low cigarette consumption. The use of the mobile phone app was associated with having made several recent quit attempts. The study provides insight into help-seeking smokers’ preferences for smoking cessation methods and user characteristics. This knowledge is relevant for further work in smoking cessation planning and policies.
