Vaping, Acculturation, and Social Media Use Among Mexican American College Students: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Web-Based Cohort Study

Vaping, Acculturation, and Social Media Use Among Mexican American College Students: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Web-Based Cohort Study

Participants were asked about vaping and use of social media. Probes sought to determine exposure to and engagement with vaping-related social media content over the previous 14 days and how this influenced their outcome expectations, social norms, and attitudes and beliefs (ie, mediators), subsequently affecting their vaping.

Contextualizing Changes in e-Cigarette Use During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic and Accompanying Infodemic (“So Much Contradictory Evidence”): Qualitative Document Analysis of Reddit Forums

Contextualizing Changes in e-Cigarette Use During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic and Accompanying Infodemic (“So Much Contradictory Evidence”): Qualitative Document Analysis of Reddit Forums

Because posts were made in e-cigarette subreddits, mentions of “vaping” were assumed to be related to nicotine vaping unless there was an explicit mention of cannabis vaping and no mention of nicotine vaping. To capture interactions between Redditors, eligible posts had to have at least 1 comment from another Redditor. We excluded OPs that mentioned cannabis vaping and made no reference to nicotine vaping or e-cigarettes. A timeline of events related to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.

From Doubt to Confidence—Overcoming Fraudulent Submissions by Bots and Other Takers of a Web-Based Survey

From Doubt to Confidence—Overcoming Fraudulent Submissions by Bots and Other Takers of a Web-Based Survey

In 2019, we launched the Vaping and Patterns of E-cigarette Use Research (VAPER) Study, which has been described in detail elsewhere [14]. Participants were surveyed to understand better how their product use may change in response to regulations. We recruited a web-based original sample of a lower-prevalence population, adults who frequently use e-cigarettes (5+ days per week), to join a longitudinal web-based survey.

Short-Form Video Informed Consent Compared With Written Consent for Adolescents and Young Adults: Randomized Experiment

Short-Form Video Informed Consent Compared With Written Consent for Adolescents and Young Adults: Randomized Experiment

Because participants of different ages or with experience with vaping might have more familiarity with the topic or more willingness to participate in the study, we conducted prespecified subgroup analyses to examine if there were differences in the outcomes between adolescents and young adults, as well as among those with vaping experience.

Concurrent Mentions of Vaping and Alcohol on Twitter: Latent Dirichlet Analysis

Concurrent Mentions of Vaping and Alcohol on Twitter: Latent Dirichlet Analysis

Since 2014, nicotine-containing products such as e-cigarettes (often referred to broadly as vaping) have been the most used tobacco product among youth in the United States [1]. An estimated 14% of US high schoolers currently vape [2], while nearly one-third report consuming alcohol in the past 30 days [1]. Alcohol and vaping can often co-occur. A recent meta-analysis found that vaping was associated with a 6-fold increased odds of alcohol consumption as well as binge drinking or drunkenness [3].

Risk Perception and Knowledge Following a Social Game–Based Tobacco Prevention Program for Adolescents: Pilot Randomized Comparative Trial

Risk Perception and Knowledge Following a Social Game–Based Tobacco Prevention Program for Adolescents: Pilot Randomized Comparative Trial

In contrast, games meant for vaping or e-cigarette prevention have recently shown success. One example is a game called “Invite Only VR,” which showed improvement in e-cigarette knowledge, nicotine addiction knowledge, perceived addictiveness of e-cigarettes, and perceptions of harm [19]. In addition, 1 comprehensive game covering vaping and combustible tobacco, smoke SCREEN, improved antitobacco beliefs and tobacco knowledge [20]. These results highlight the potential success of game-based interventions.

Outcomes of a Comprehensive Mobile Vaping Cessation Program in Adults Who Vape Daily: Cohort Study

Adult e-cigarette users in the United States continue to vape despite being interested in quitting [4,5], demonstrating a need for additional vaping cessation programs with resources and support to guide these individuals through successful quit attempts. Of the limited research on digital vaping cessation programs, 4 studies have outcomes specific to vaping cessation.

Examining Quitting Experiences on Quit Vaping Subreddits From 2015 to 2021: Content Analysis

Examining Quitting Experiences on Quit Vaping Subreddits From 2015 to 2021: Content Analysis

Further examination of the experiences of those quitting vaping nicotine within the context of this ever-changing market is needed. The experiences of quitting vaping nicotine and quitting smoking are different [25,26]. Unlike quitting smoking, those quitting vaping must overcome the appeal of flavors, the inherent convenience and discreteness of the product, and a reported lack of self-awareness of how often one is using the product [6].

Public Response to Federal Electronic Cigarette Regulations Analyzed Using Social Media Data Through Natural Language Processing: Topic Modeling Study

Concerns were raised by state and federal investigators, and it was determined that Juul executives knew their marketing contributed to skyrocketing youth vaping rates nationwide, reversing years of tobacco control efforts [9,10]. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), nearly 10.7 million young people from 12 to 17 years old have used e-cigarettes or are open to trying them [11].
