Objective Introduced in the early 2000s, e-cigarettes and vaping have risen in popularity, leading to a notable increase in acute lung injury and the coining of electronic cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI). Current studies have examined outcomes in EVALI specifically; however, data on the impact of vaping in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is lacking. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of vaping on hospital outcomes in patients with ARDS.

The exposure to risk factors, such as cigarette smoke and air pollution (containing metabolic oxidants and toxic substances), leading to cellular and molecular alterations, promotes the development of lung cancer at multiple stages. The antioxidant defence system plays a critical role in counteracting the mechanisms of oxidative stress. In physiological conditions, the balance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant species is critically important for the correct performance of cellular functions.

Background: E-cigarette use among youth in the United States has become a public health epidemic. Adults who regularly interact with youth-such as coaches, mentors, counselors, trainers, and caregivers-can significantly influence youth perceptions and behaviors related to e-cigarette use, either positively or negatively.
Purpose: The study purpose was to examine the effectiveness of a nurse-led educational presentation among youth-serving adults about e-cigarette products and their negative health effects through knowledge assessment.

There continues to be a high prevalence of smoking in many European countries. In Germany, for example, there are over 20 million smokers, most of whom exhibit little desire to quit. In other countries, the adoption of smoke-free products (SFPs), including e-cigarettes (ECs), heated tobacco products (HTPs), and oral nicotine pouches (NPs), is helping smokers to transition away from cigarettes.

Cigarette smoking is a prevalent and critical global health issue, with inconsistent findings for its effects on endogenous progesterone concentrations. This large multicentre study investigated the associations between various markers of smoking behaviour and plasma progesterone concentrations using a sex-segregating approach. We studied 747 males aged 18-65 years and 158 peri-/postmenopausal females aged 50-65 years and assessed differences in plasma progesterone concentrations between smokers and never-smokers and associations of plasma progesterone concentrations with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) score, cigarette pack years, age at onset of regular smoking, number of cigarettes smoked daily, exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), plasma cotinine and the Questionnaire of Smoking Urges (QSU) score.
