“…E-cigarettes (also known as vape pens or vaporizers) are second, third, or fourth generation electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) that are designed for nicotine delivery, but have less resemblance to real cigarettes than first generation delivery systems (”cigalikes”). [ 1 ]…”

Background and Aims: We hypothesized that the prevalence of electronic cigarette vaping among the medical student population is on the rise. Our aims were to assess the prevalence of electronic cigarette vaping among medical students in Saudi Arabia, to understand and analyze the reasons that led them to try it, and to investigate students’ perceptions towards electronic cigarette vaping. Methods: An anonymous, paper-based, cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed amongst 401 undergraduate medical students from years 1-5 at Alfaisal University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Prevalence, intensity of e-cigarette use and reasons for it, relation of electronic cigarettes to cessation of tobacco smoking, and side effects were studied. Results: The prevalence of vaping was 49/401 (12.2%). There was a strong association between gender and vaping, with males being 3 times more likely to vape compared to females (χ2 (1) =13.62, P <.001). The three most common reasons for using electronic cigarettes were to enjoy the variability in flavours (61.4%, n = 30), to reduce or quit tobacco cigarettes (29.5%, n = 14), and to avert the public smoking ban (13.6%, n = 7). The three most common side effects experienced by users were coughing (26.7%, n = 13), dry mouth/throat (24.4%, n = 12), and dizziness (20%, n = 10). Conclusion: Use of the electronic cigarettes is not uncommon amongst medical students, mostly due to their appealing flavor variability. Further research is required to define long-term safety and side effect profiles, and to generate evidence-based guidelines concerning e-cigarette safety and efficacy for smoking cessation.

“…For example, passive exposure to first-generation cigalike e-cigarettes (visually similar to cigarettes) can increase desire to vape and smoke, whereas exposure to tobacco cigarettes may only increase desire to smoke (8). Similarly, second-generation e-cigarettes (size and shape of a large pen) can cue smoking urges among young adult daily and non-daily smokers (9). The impact of newer third-generation ecigarettes is currently unknown.…”

Objective This study examined whether exposure to smoking and vaping cues the urge to smoke or vape. It extends previous studies on first-generation cigalikes (visually similar to cigarettes) and second-generation devices (visually similar to pens) by including third-generation tank system devices (larger bulky units). In an online experiment, participants were randomly assigned to view one of four videos, which included smoking, vaping (cigalike or tank system), or neutral cues. The primary outcome was urge to smoke. Secondary outcomes were urge to vape, desire to smoke and vape, and intention to quit or remain abstinent from smoking.Results UK adults varying in smoking (current or former) and vaping (user or non-user) status (n=1120) completed the study: 184 (16%) failed study attention checks meaning 936 were included in the final analysis. Urges to smoke were similar across cue groups. Urges to vape were higher following exposure to vaping compared to neutral cues. There was no clear evidence of an interaction between cue group and smoking or vaping status. The lack of cueing effects on smoking urges is inconsistent with previous research, raising questions about the ability to assess craving in online settings.

“…One possibility is that previous studies have overestimated the impact on smoking urges of exposure to vaping or smoking cues; however, given differences in study methodology, it is more likely that the lack of effects reflect-at least in part-limitations of the materials and setting used in the current design. For example, King and colleagues [9] used confederate smokers or vapers, exposing participants to more ecologically valid cues compared to the videos used here.…”
