“…For example, among homeless youth, nearly all 292 survey respondents had engaged in one of the risky smoking behaviors we measured and most (73%) had smoked a discarded cigarette (Tucker, Shadel, Golinelli, Mullins, & Ewing, 2015). Rates of sniping were also much higher (32%) than our sample among general population adults enrolling in a smoking cessation trial (Lantini et al, 2018). Despite the low prevalence discovered among our participants, these risky smoking behaviors remain a concern, given the significant harms associated with sniping (e.g., exposure to toxins and/or susceptibility to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, hepatitis, and herpes).…”

Among the struggles faced by youth currently in or recently exiting foster care, tobacco use remains a low priority for practitioners and researchers, alike. Indeed, despite the dramatically altered landscape of tobacco products on the market, there have been no studies evaluating the use of alternative tobacco products among this vulnerable population. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of lifetime and current combustible and non-combustible tobacco use among youth exiting foster care, and report on the prevalence of nicotine dependence, motivation to quit, and preferred methods of tobacco cessation. Youth aged 18-24 (M = 20.13, SD = 1.16) *

“…The smoking history questionnaire consists of 13 items including age started smoking, current smoking rate, previous quit attempts and use of quit smoking medications and the presence of any smoking-related rules at home. A 5-item survey developed in our previous studies also asks about cigarette scavenging behaviors (e.g., In the past 30 days, did you smoke a cigarette butt previously smoked by someone else) [49,50]. Nicotine dependence is assessed using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) [44].…”

Introduction: Smoking cessation interventions delivered through mobile technologies offer promise as an effective intervention tool. However, most existing programs have not been empirically tested, were not developed with end-user participation, and/or do not address evidence-based cognitive and behavioral variables shown to enhance smoking cessation in clinical trials. In addition, many programs tested in research trials have required users to access the internet and/or a smartphone app to access all program features, limiting the potential reach of those programs. Methods/Design: This study is a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of the TMQ intervention for smoking cessation. All participants are randomly assigned to receive 12 weeks of either; (1) a tailored smoking-cessation intervention delivered 100% through text messaging (TMQ), or (2) non-smoking-related text messages serving as a control for contact and subject burden (Mojo). Assessments are conducted at baseline, 3-and 6-month follow-up. The primary outcome is prolonged abstinence using an intent-to-treat approach. To understand why TMQ may be more effective than Mojo, we will test several posited mechanisms of action (i.e., mediators) that may underlie intervention efficacy and will examine use of the TMQ integrated social support (ISS) network. At the end of treatment, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with TMQ participants. Conclusions: This study will provide a rigorous test of an innovative smoking cessation program delivered 100% through text messages. Use of mixed methodologies will provide the *

Butt Why ? Exploring factors associated with cigarette scavenging behaviors among adult smokers enrolling in a clinical trial for smoking cessation

Abstract: Scavenging is common among adult smokers. Interventions that address cigarette scavenging behaviors may better meet the needs of this unique smoking subgroup.
