ChatGPT-Based Chatbot for Help Quitting Smoking via Text Messaging: An Interventional Study

ChatGPT-Based Chatbot for Help Quitting Smoking via Text Messaging: An Interventional Study

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death, disability, and disease burden in the United States and worldwide [1]. Approximately 11.6% of adults in the United States are current smokers, and an estimated 70% of smokers want to quit [2]. The earlier in the life course an individual stops smoking, the greater the health benefits are for both the individual and society as a whole [1].

Real-Time Antecedents of Young Adults’ Vaping and Co-Vaping of Nicotine and Cannabis: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Real-Time Antecedents of Young Adults’ Vaping and Co-Vaping of Nicotine and Cannabis: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Several EMA studies have examined different behaviors of using tobacco (eg, exclusive e-cigarette use, exclusive cigarette use, and dual tobacco use) and cannabis among young adults [14-17]. However, it is unclear whether real-time antecedents differ between nicotine and cannabis vaping, and less is known about real-time antecedents of same-occasion co-vaping. To address this gap, we aimed to examine real-time antecedents of nicotine and cannabis vaping and same-occasion co-vaping among young adults.

As these organized media battles were waged, an unexpected development hit the news: a vaping-related outbreak of hospitalizations and deaths.

Proximal Effects of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for Smoking Cessation With Wearable Sensors: Microrandomized Trial

Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Although the prevalence of smoking has decreased dramatically over the past several decades, 12.5% of the US adult population continues to smoke [1]. Novel smoking cessation interventions are needed, and one approach is to target key precipitants of lapse and relapse that may ultimately lead to long-term abstinence.

Guidelines recommend combining pharmacotherapies with behavioral interventions to enhance the effectiveness of smoking cessation attempts [6,7]. Web-based programs have emerged as a valuable tool in this context.
