“…It is hardly plausible that a single puff or a few puffs on an e‐cigarette can cause subsequent regular smoking. Past 30‐day use is often used as a measure of current use , but it is not a satisfactory measure because in adolescents past 30‐day use is a heterogeneous category that includes both experimentation (single use), occasional use and regular use . Experimentation with tobacco is certainly not what is meant by the gateway theory.…”

“…According to longitudinal studies, however, smoking as a teenager predicts smoking as an adult. (Saddleson et al, 2016;Sargent, Gabrielli, Budney, Soneji, & Wills, 2017) A responsible smoker In all the group discussions students presented themselves as responsible smokers who actively took nonsmokers and children into consideration. The discussions stated that it is acceptable to smoke, but you must smoke responsibly and take other people into consideration, as they did.…”

Purpose: Based on focus groups, we analyse how practical nursing students deal with being as smokers and future healthcare workers. The way they justify their smoking is discussed within a group of peers. Methods: The study has a qualitative design with an inductive approach using focus group interviews (FGIs) for data collection. A total of 29 students were interviewed in five groups of five and one group of four participants. Results: In the analysis, we found four different discursive practices the students utilized for rationalizing their own smoking and coping with the moral dilemma of smoking in a context of health care where smoking is forbidden: (1) students normalized smoking with references to its prevalence within their social circles, (2) the students asserted that their smoking was under control, (3) students considered themselves responsible smokers, and (4) students identified smoking as a part of their identity. Conclusion: Training should support the growth of professional identity and address the smoker's identity right from the start of education. Smokers need special attention in the formulation of professional identity, however, without being stigmatized any further.

“…This framework fits with contemporary use patterns in young adults which range from daily, heavy use to non-daily, light use. It also allows prevescalation efforts to engage a broader range of young users-not just never users or any past 30-day users, or more established most days, every day, or more than daily users-in interventions (Kozlowski and Giovino 2014;Saddleson et al 2016;Villanti et al 2016;Warner 2015). An important assessment challenge is the need to rely on selfreports, given that there are no objective measures that can capture the patterning of use of multiple tobacco-and nicotine-containing products that is often sporadic and highly variable.…”

Preventing Smoking Progression in Young Adults: the Concept of Prevescalation

et al. 2018

As adolescents cross the threshold to young adulthood, they encounter more opportunities to engage in or accelerate previously discouraged or prohibited behaviors. Young adults, therefore, are more apt to initiate cigarette smoking and, more importantly, to accelerate their use if they tried and experimented as an adolescent. Preventing the escalation and entrenchment of smoking in the young adult years is critically important to reducing tobacco's long-term health toll. However, traditional interventions for youth have focused on preventing smoking initiation, and interventions for adults have focused on smoking cessation; both have failed to address the needs of young adults. We introduce the concept of Bprevescalation^to capture the need and opportunity to prevent the escalation of risk behaviors that typically occur during young adulthood, with a focus on the example of cigarette smoking. Prevescalation negates the notion that prevention has failed if tobacco experimentation occurs during adolescence and focuses on understanding and interrupting transitions between experimentation with tobacco products and established tobacco use that largely occur during young adulthood. However, since risk behaviors often co-occur in young people, the core concept of prevescalation may apply to other behaviors that co-occur and become harder to change in later adulthood. We present a new framework for conceptualizing, developing, and evaluating interventions that better fit the unique behavioral, psychosocial, and socio-environmental characteristics of the young adult years. We discuss the need to target this transitional phase, what we know about behavioral pathways and predictors of cigarette smoking, potential intervention considerations, and research challenges.
