Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of nicotine messaging and nicotine content of study cigarettes on nicotine beliefs and subsequent use of tobacco and nicotine products.
This within-subjects study aims to evaluate the effects of IQOS use on combustible cigarette smoking behaviors among 100 cigarette smokers who completed the study. After measuring baseline cigarette smoking rate, participants will receive an IQOS device and be instructed to use it (versus cigarettes) over a 14-day period. The investigators will also examine which objective and subjective effects of IQOS use predict a complete and incomplete switch from cigarettes to IQOS.
This study assessed the abuse liability (measured by assessing how much nicotine enters the body when the BIDI Stick is used, and how this makes users feel) and puffing topography (puff characteristics like volume and duration) of the BIDI Stick ENDS, a type of electronic cigarette.
This study is designed to find out how smoking affects the way the brain responds to pleasure and how this impacts smokers' behavior. Participants will complete three sessions. The first session will be a screening and training visit to determine final eligibility. Eligible participants will work with a researcher to develop brief scripts about times when they smoke and do other activities. Next, participants will attend two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans - one after abstaining from smoking for 24 hours and the other after smoking as usual. After the second MRI, participants will answer questions on their phone every day for two weeks.
To pilot test the appeal of non-tobacco oral nicotine products in cigarette smokers, smokeless tobacco users, and oral nicotine users.
This study will develop an ecological momentary implementation intentions intervention (EMI-II) for cigarette smoking, which will link critical situations where smoking is likely to occur with alternative responses to support avoidance of cigarette use. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) for data collection, this project will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness of a micro-randomized trial (MRT) of EMI-II targeting cigarette smoking reduction in a sample of adults who smoke a minimum of 15 cigarettes per day (n=100).
The purpose of this study is to: Aim I: Test the efficacy of a mindfulness-based text messaging program for smoking cessation ("iQuit Mindfully"), both as a standalone intervention and in combination with in-person counseling; and Aim II: Investigate the mechanisms through which mindfulness training impacts smoking cessation.
Cigarette smoking is a significant public health concern. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that has already displayed remarkable potential for producing novel, non-pharmacological interventions for depression and cigarette smokers. In this study, investigators will use brain MRI to guide TMS therapy for smoking cessation.
Menthol cigarettes comprise almost one-third of the United States (US) market share and are disproportionately smoked by racial minorities. Tobacco control policies targeting menthol flavoring in tobacco could have significant public health outcomes, especially among black smokers. One key challenge of tobacco regulation is weighing the risks and benefits of potential policies across different populations (i.e., users and non-users). Tension arises between policies intended to prevent adolescent and young adult (AYA) tobacco initiation and those intended to reduce harm among current tobacco users. The availability of menthol e-liquids may be important for encouraging menthol cigarette smokers to switch to e- cigarettes, but mint e-liquids, which are appealing to AYA, may be unnecessary to facilitate switching. Including mint e-liquids in flavor bans but allowing menthol e-liquids to remain on the market as potential substitution products for menthol smokers may be an optimal policy approach. The study team is proposing a lab study and field assessment to determine how including menthol and mint e-liquids in e-liquid flavor bans or sales restrictions affects tobacco product purchasing and use among menthol cigarette smokers. At lab sessions, participants will complete the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM) task, a behavioral economics task in which they receive account balances to an online store and can buy menthol cigarettes at escalating costs or buy e-liquids, non-menthol cigarettes, or nicotine replacement gum at fixed costs. They will complete the task under four marketplace conditions: (1) only tobacco e-liquids available, (2) menthol and tobacco e-liquids available, (3) menthol, mint, and tobacco e-liquids available, and (4) tobacco, menthol, mint, fruit, dessert. During a field assessment, product choice is validated by assessing use of products purchased during the ETM task. This proposal will inform policy-makers about the impact banning menthol and mint e-liquids will have on facilitating menthol cigarette smokers switching to e-cigarettes.
Interventions to disrupt memory reconsolidation have held promise for the treatment of stress- and anxiety-related disorders. In the present study, the investigators will examine whether an intervention based on these principles, called memory updating, could be adapted for reward-seeking behaviors. To test this, non-treatment seeking tobacco smokers will be exposed to smoking cues and/or stress, two stimuli known to trigger smoking. It is predicted that exposure to a stress task will enhance the cues' motivational salience and yield greater susceptibility to the memory updating procedure. As an add-on, the investigators will examine COVID-associated changes in substance use and whether participants in the memory updating groups might be more resilient to these effects. It is predicted that the changes in substance use will depend on whether the substances are used primarily in social settings.
