Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoking remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Despite declining rates of smoking in developed countries, smoking prevalence remains high, and there is evidence that it has plateaued in recent years. Individuals with a comorbid psychiatric diagnosis represent a disproportionate percentage of those who continue to smoke and are particularly at-risk given they smoke at higher rates and consume more cigarettes compared to those with no diagnosis. Moreover, these individuals are often excluded from clinical trials of smoking cessation, making it difficult to generalize results of previous intervention studies. In the general literature of smoking cessation, smoking cessation self-efficacy, or one's confidence in their ability to abstain from smoking, is a consistent predictor of positive abstinence outcomes. The overall purpose of this dissertation was to investigate smoking cessation self-efficacy as a predictor of abstinence outcomes in a population of treatment-seeking smokers with and without a history of psychiatric illness. To accomplish this, articles 1 and 2 investigated the psychometric properties of a multi-item measure of cessation self-efficacy. This entailed comparing the measure to other indices of smoking, and conducting a confirmatory factor analysis to ensure factor invariance and equivalence of the measure regardless of psychiatric status. We found a moderate correlation between our multi-item scale to a single-item measure of confidence to quit, as well as support for both the original two-factor model as well as a three-factor model, which explained 79.3% of the variance. Our results also supported the measure as being factor invariant across psychiatric diagnoses. Next, articles 3 and 4 investigated how this measure of cessation self-efficacy predicted several smoking outcomes (10-, 22- and 52-weeks following target-quit date), and whether this relationship was mediated by concurrent smoking and other interpersonal-indices of smoking cessation (nicotine withdrawal, negative affect). In article 3, we found support for a bidirectional and reciprocal relationship between smoking cessation self-efficacy and smoking status. While changes in concurrent behavior (smoking or abstinent) did impact subsequent evaluations of self-efficacy, the inverse was also true. Moreover, both concurrent smoking and cessation self-efficacy predicted outcomes at week 10. Article 4 built on this framework and investigated this relationship at 22- and 52-weeks post-target quit-date. Our results highlight the robust association between cessation self-efficacy and abstinence. Higher cessation self-efficacy was positively associated with better abstinence outcomes, even after controlling for concurrent smoking, withdrawal, and negative affect. Further, there was evidence that cessation self-efficacy partially mediated the impact of withdrawal and negative affect. In our fully adjusted model (adjusting for demographic characteristics, baseline smoking levels, withdrawal and negative affect), cessation self-efficacy along among the interpersonal-determinants predicted abstinence outcomes (Odds ratio = 1.078, 95% confidence interval (1.068 - 1.089). This was true for those with either a current, past, or no lifetime psychiatric diagnosis, and despite the finding that individuals in the lifetime (current or past diagnosis) category experienced overall lower self-efficacy. Overall, our results support the value of cessation self-efficacy as an important indicator of abstinence outcomes, and particularly highlight its potential utility for at-risk populations of comorbid psychiatric smokers.

This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negative Affective States and Cognitive Impairments in Nicotine Dependence is the only book of its kind that addresses nicotine use and abuse in the context of negative reinforcement mechanisms. Written and edited by leading investigators in addiction, affective, genetic, and cognitive research, it provides researchers and advanced students with an overview of the clinical bases of these effects, allowing them to fully understand the various underlying dysfunctions that drive nicotine use in different individuals. In addition, this book examines animal models that researchers have utilized to investigate the biological bases of these dysfunctions. The combination of clinical and preclinical approaches to understanding nicotine dependence makes this book an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to develop targeted treatments aimed at ameliorating symptoms of nicotine dependence, as well as identifying premorbid differences in affective or cognitive function. - Provides a unique perspective on nicotine dependence that emphasizes negative reinforcement rather than positive reinforcement - Examines psychiatric comorbidities and alleviation of withdrawal states as motivation for continued tobacco use - Includes both clinical and preclinical perspectives - Includes genetic and multi-neurotransmitter perspectives on nicotine use and withdrawal - Emphasizes heterogeneity of underlying reasons for smoking, the need for multiple animal models to understand this heterogeneity, and the expectation of heterogeneous responses to potential treatments, underscoring the need for personalized therapeutics

This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. Despite their popularity, little is known about their health effects. Some suggest that e-cigarettes likely confer lower risk compared to combustible tobacco cigarettes, because they do not expose users to toxicants produced through combustion. Proponents of e-cigarette use also tout the potential benefits of e-cigarettes as devices that could help combustible tobacco cigarette smokers to quit and thereby reduce tobacco-related health risks. Others are concerned about the exposure to potentially toxic substances contained in e-cigarette emissions, especially in individuals who have never used tobacco products such as youth and young adults. Given their relatively recent introduction, there has been little time for a scientific body of evidence to develop on the health effects of e-cigarettes. Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes reviews and critically assesses the state of the emerging evidence about e-cigarettes and health. This report makes recommendations for the improvement of this research and highlights gaps that are a priority for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioners helping smokers to quit can be more effective by learning key therapeutic techniques aimed at increasing any smoker’s chances of success. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation is a valuable guidebook to an empirically based CBT approach to smoking cessation that has been shown to be effective with or without the use of medications. This approach emphasizes techniques for enhancing the smoker’s motivation and confidence to quit, and teaching the smoker steps for preparing to quit, coping with the difficulties that emerge after quitting, and transitioning to become a long term nonsmoker. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation offers the fundamental counseling strategies and interventions that have been established, researched, and refined over the past decade. This program outlines essential components that should be included in the treatment of any smoker, as well as steps to take when faced with smokers likely to have particular difficulty quitting. Unique to this volume is the inclusion of a specifically tailored CBT model designed to address weight gain concerns in the smoker. Perkins, Conklin, and Levine are leading researchers on effective smoking cessation intervention for those concerned about the potential gain in weight that accompanies quitting, and offer a flexible approach that allows the practitioner to tailor interventions to each individual. An invaluable addition to any health professional’s repertoire, the treatment model presented in this book provides practitioners with the tools necessary to help their clients to quit smoking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Monograph provides a comprehensive overview of tobacco cessation, from health policy to patient care. Broad in scope, this state-of-the art collection is broken down into four sections: the changing landscape of the tobacco epidemic and challenges to curb it; treatment of tobacco dependence (pharmacotherapy, behavioural support); improving the care of patients with particular conditions who smoke (asthma, COPD, TB, cardiovascular diseases, etc.); and prevention. It also deals with some of the more controversial topics such as e-cigarettes and web applications. Readers will gain an understanding of how to implement smoking cessation into their everyday practice, but will also expand their knowledge about the policy and systems changes needed for population-wide smoking cessation.
