“…Further, although e-cigarettes have been proposed as an aid to smoking cessation in adults, there is mixed evidence for their effectiveness ( 63 ), and they can be a gateway to tobacco and nicotine use in adolescents naïve to tobacco ( 64 , 65 ), E-cigarette users outnumber traditional smokers among adolescents ( 66 ); in one study 27.5% of high school and 10.5% of middle school students were current e-cigarette users ( 67 ), and in another, half of e-cigarette users aged 15–17 y had never used combustible cigarettes ( 68 ). This high use of e-cigarettes is of concern, as adolescents using e-cigarettes have an increased incidence of chronic bronchitis and asthma exacerbations compared with non-users ( 69 , 70 ). E-cigarette use is also becoming more common in pregnant women, thus exposing the developing fetus to nicotine, which crosses the placenta and thus reaches the fetal bloodstream.…”

Pediatric Preventive Care in Middle-High Resource Countries—The Padova Chart for Health in Children

ImportanceThe Padova Chart for Health in Children (PCHC) aims to gather the evidence of healthcare promotion and protection for chidren and adolescents (i.e., aged <18 y) into a single document in order to guide families, healthcare providers and social actors on healthy choices. No more than 2% of Europeans and North Americans aged <30 y have a healthy lifestyle. This, together with metabolic and brain plasticity during childhood, creates the ideal opportunity to implement preventive strategies. Guided interventions promoting healthy lifestyle in children and families therefore have a key role in abating the unprecedented pandemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in adulthood.ObservationsThe PCHC is divided into four sections: nutrition, cardiovascular health, respiratory health, and mental and social health. Each section is structured in an ALICE approach (assessment, lobbying, intervention, call-for-action, evaluation): assessment of necessity, describing relevance to healthcare; lobbying to identify those who can effect the proposed interventions; interventions involving family, school and peers; a call-for-action to define priorities among the proposed interventions; and objective evaluation measures that can be applied on a population basis.Conclusions and RelevanceInterventions promoting health in childhood require joint action from multiple institutional, local and family representatives, with the shared goal of promoting health across the entire age group. These lifestyle interventions have the potential to change the lifetime risk trajectory for NCDs.

“…Recently, a longitudinal study has investigated the respiratory health effects of EC use in a nationally representative cohort of US young adults. Using data derived from PATH Waves 2, 3, 4, and 5 for young J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f adults aged 18-24 years, Xie et al (66) showed that both former and current EC use was associated with higher odds of developing any respiratory symptom (aOR = 1.20 and 1.32 for former and current EC use, respectively) and wheezing (aOR = 1.41 and 1.51 for former and current EC use, respectively). Like most previous studies, cigarette smoking history was either not considered or insufficiently adjusted for in the analysis.…”

“…Campagna and Caci raised the concern that smoking history was insufficiently adjusted for in our study ( 1 ). Although we appreciate their interest in our work, their concerns were, however, unfounded.…”
