“…The questionnaire contains two subscales: risks (16 items) and benefits (14 items). The RABE has demonstrated sound psychometric properties and reliability . The current study utilized both the mean risks and benefits subscales and demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Risks: α = .93; Benefits: α = .94).…”

“…The Risks and Benefits of E‐Cigarettes Questionnaire (RABE) is a 30‐item self‐report measure that assesses the perceived risks (eg, E‐cigarettes contain toxic chemicals) and benefits (eg, E‐cigarettes are safe) of using e‐cigarettes. Items are assessed on a Likert‐type scale ranging from 1 ( Totally Disagree ) to 7 ( Totally Agree ).…”

Background and Objectives Electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes) are recognized as a prevalent form of substance use among adults in the United States. The rise in e‐cigarette use has motivated research to identify subgroups of the population that may be particularly vulnerable to e‐cigarette use and its associated harm. Individuals with elevated psychological vulnerability are one such group more at risk for being a lifetime or current e‐cigarette user. Yet, little is known about how factors of psychological vulnerability relate to perceptions of e‐cigarette use within the context of e‐cigarette quit attempts. The current study evaluated the differential relations of anxiety sensitivity (AS), a core affective vulnerability factor, on several relevant e‐cigarette processes across those with and without a previous attempt to quit using e‐cigarettes. Methods Our sample consisted of 547 current e‐cigarette users (51% female, Mage = 35.38 years, SD = 10.1). Results Results indicated that AS significantly related to greater perceived risks, benefits, and positive outcome expectancies of e‐cigarette use among current e‐cigarette users who reported at least one attempt to quit e‐cigarettes but was unrelated among those who had never attempted to quit. Discussion and Conclusions Findings identify e‐cigarette users who fail to quit as a potential vulnerable subgroup of users who experience more strongly held perceptions about e‐cigarettes because of increased AS. Scientific Significance This work provides initial evidence for a conceptual model in which levels of AS and e‐cigarette processes are strengthened by and differ across e‐cigarette quit attempt history.

“…En relación a los universitarios los datos obtenidos en el presente estudio indican que tienen menos probabilidad de fumar que los jóvenes sin estudios universitarios, en contraposición con otros estudios donde se observa que con la entrada en la universidad aumenta el consumo de tabaco (Chen et al, 2004;Intra, 2011;Morrell, Cohen, Bacchi y West, 2005;Pastor et al, 2009). Estos datos del presente estudio se pueden deber al auge del uso de cigarrillos electrónicos, como puede verse en varios estudios en universitarios (Copeland, Peltier y Waldo, 2017;Rakotozandry et al, 2016) y jóvenes en general (Carroll y Wu, 2014;Peiper et al, 2016) donde afirman que ha aumentado el uso de este dispositivo en jóvenes y abalan el uso del cigarrillo electrónico como medida para dejar de fumar tabaco, sobretodo en jóvenes. En contraposición, otras investigaciones (Brose, Hitchman, Brown, West y McNeill, 2015;Córdoba, 2014;Ofei-Dodoo, Kellerman, Nilsen, Nutting y Lewis, 2017;Shi et al, 2016;Sutfin, McCoy, Morrell, Hoeppner y Wolfson, 2013) no consideran el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos como medida para dejar de fumar, pero sí para reducir el consumo.…”

“…For instance, interventions that show images of smoking's impact on premature facial wrinkles can instill motives for smoking cessation [62][63] . Research suggests that knowledge of e-cigarette explosions may deter young people from using e-cigarettes 67,68 . As such, public health professionals should consider using graphic images of e-cigarette explosion injuries in educational materials to prevent or reduce e-cigarette use.…”

INTRODUCTION E-cigarettes have the potential to cause burns from batteries that explode. Although e-cigarette explosion burns have been reported by the media (e.g. local online news, blogs), there is a need for a comprehensive review of published medical case reports regarding these injuries. METHODS CINAHL and PubMed were systematically searched using common terms regarding e-cigarettes (electronic cigarette, e-cigarette, vape, vaping, electronic nicotine delivery systems) in every combination with the term 'explosion'. Peerreviewed articles were included if they: were written in English, described case reports of burn injuries caused by e-cigarette explosions, and were published in any year. Cases were categorized by demographics, location of the e-cigarette explosion, burned body areas, types of burns, total body surface area of burns, the need for skin grafting, and the length of hospital stay. RESULTS Thirty-one articles were included in the review and described 164 cases. Most patients (90%) were male and between 20 to 29 years old. In the majority of cases (65%), e-cigarettes exploded in pockets, compared to exploding in the face or hand. Common burned areas included the thigh, hand, genitals, and face. Burn severity was typically second-degree burns (35%) or a combination of seconddegree and third-degree burns (20%). In all, 48 patients required skin grafting, with 19 reporting a median hospital stay of 5 days. CONCLUSIONS This review has several implications, including the need for regulation of batteries, education regarding battery safety, and leveraging images of the severity of e-cigarette explosion burns to discourage the use of e-cigarettes.
