“…There has been a recommendation that smoking tobacco is the most addictive drug. A positively significant number of people carry on with smoking since they are unable to stop (Sanders et al, 2019). In case they could, of course, they would stop.…”

Publicly the tobacco industry has denied for far too along with the fact that smoking causes lung cancer, among other dangerous diseases. However, doctors and health researchers have established that cigarettes’ carcinogenic nature is responsible for causing infections and the addictive quality that makes them sell. It is now evident that lawyers and public relations disquiet determine the industry’s smoking and health position. The industry maintains that publicity is used only to acquire brand share but not increase general intake, yet academic and health research has shown otherwise.

“…Thus, these smokers can no longer be assumed to have made adult and conscious decisions. Besides, nicotine has traits of a drug of misuse; it has characteristics of drug addiction (Sanders et al, 2019). However, the industry's position has it that nicotine is present to add flavor and test to the cigarette.…”

“…Research on SGM lived experiences with tobacco has explored motivations for tobacco use 16 and perceptions of tobacco control policies. 17 Moving forward, eliciting SGM perspectives in tobacco research with other vulnerable populations will provide valuable insight into the intersectional influences of multiple marginalized social identities (eg, SOGI, race/ethnicity) and structural inequities (eg, housing instability; health care access) on tobacco-related health disparities. 18 Qualitative methods are well-suited for in-depth exploration of the processes that perpetuate SGM tobacco-related health disparities.…”

Introduction Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals have higher tobacco use prevalence and consequently higher burden of tobacco-caused diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease compared with their heterosexual or cisgender counterparts. Yet, there is a critical gap in research focused on measuring SGM tobacco-related health disparities and addressing unmet needs of SGM individuals in the context of nicotine and tobacco research. Aims and Methods In this commentary, we summarize recommendations discussed during a pre-conference workshop focused on challenges and opportunities in conducting SGM tobacco control research at the 2019 Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Annual Meeting. Results Specifically, we recommend defining and measuring SGM identity in all nicotine and tobacco research routinely, using novel methods to engage a demographically diverse sample of the SGM population, and eliciting SGM community voices in tobacco control research. Conclusions Addressing these critical research gaps will enable the scientific community to generate the data to fully understand and support SGM individuals in tobacco use prevention and cessation. Implications Tobacco use and its consequences have become increasingly concentrated in disadvantaged groups, including sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. Through concrete recommendations in this commentary, we aimed to promote health equity, diversity, and inclusion in tobacco research for SGM populations by urging the scientific community to consider expanding efforts to monitor and address tobacco-related health disparities of SGM populations within their respective research programs.

“…. if you are all three of those things, you are going to be smoking” (Sanders et al, 2020). An intersectionality framework in intervention research allows for deeper understanding of barriers and needs by determining “how” different social groups are affected and “why” certain health outcomes are observed.…”

Tailored tobacco cessation interventions focusing on minoritized communities are proliferating, but the extent to which these interventions address the needs of individuals with multiple minoritized social identities is unclear. We developed Empowered, Queer, Quitting, and Living (EQQUAL), an avatar-led digital smoking cessation intervention tailored for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more (LGBTQIA+) young adults based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), via a multistage user-centered design process. The purpose was to evaluate feedback from EQQUAL development activities using an intersectional lens. Intersectionality is a paradigm created by Kimberlé Crenshaw illustrating the multiple social identities each person possesses along with the marginalization of these different social identities. We conducted a rapid deductive content analysis focused on intersectional design gaps using interviewer notes from user testing ( n = 7), a diary study ( n = 8), and treatment satisfaction responses from a single-arm trial of the EQQUAL intervention ( n = 22). Feedback related to intersectional design fell under three broad themes: (a) inadequate representativeness of the avatar, (2) inadequate representativeness within the program broadly, and (3) non-inclusive ACT intervention content. Feedback on inclusiveness included reference to socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, religious/cultural affiliation, and ability/disability. Although we previously found that EQQUAL was highly acceptable and showed promise in terms of efficacy in a single-arm pilot trial, we identified several gaps in intersectional design as the iterative intervention development proceeded. Because intersectional design is a critical part of developing interventions with a health equity focus, applying standardized procedures for intersectional design and analysis could improve intervention design and better address tobacco cessation treatment needs of individuals who may experience multiple forms of marginalization.
