Aim: Electronic cigarette usage has become increasingly popular in recent years, advertised as a safe alternative to smoking. However, the long-term impact on prenatal development is not well understood. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the impact of prenatal electronic cigarette exposure on self-regulation and motor development in existing human and animal research and to identify the common assessment measures.
Methods: 2116 records from six databases were retrieved, of which 70 (56 human; 14 animal) were retained for review. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted on eligible studies.
Results: The emerging animal literature provides evidence for the impact of electronic cigarette exposure on offspring development. Meta-analysis results of 42 eligible human studies indicated that prenatal exposure to nicotine or cannabis by combustible or electronic cigarette was associated with deficits in cognitive, emotional, and behavioural self-regulatory domains, as well as motor function and neuromotor development. Only one human study included electronic cigarettes.
Conclusions: The combined findings of human and animal literature suggest overlapping influences of combustible and electronic cigarettes across self-regulation and motor domains. Given the policy implications, there is an urgent need for more research on electronic cigarette use in humans during pregnancy.

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) utilize "E-liquids" in order to generate "E-vapor", an inhalable aerosolized mixture containing nicotine and flavors. Flavored ENDS are very popular among teens who vape, however, the possible cardiac electrophysiological harm of inhalation exposure to flavored ENDS are not fully understood.
Objective: To test if inhalation exposure to flavoring carbonyls in e-liquids compromises mitochondrial integrity, increases oxidative stress, and leads to cardiac electrophysiological toxicity.

Tobacco use is the primary contributor to disease and death in the United States, and cigarette smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer. Safe and effective treatments for tobacco dependence exist; however, access to and use of tobacco treatment remains low. The most recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services National Coverage Determination requires a shared decision-making visit for lung cancer screening that includes counseling on the importance of maintaining cigarette smoking abstinence if a person formerly smoked; or the importance of smoking cessation if a person currently smokes and, if appropriate, furnishing of information about tobacco-cessation interventions.

The objective of this research was to use a network toxicology approach to examine the possible toxicity of the cigarette toxicants nicotine and coal tar that cause osteoporosis (OP) as well as its molecular processes. We determined the primary chemical structures and 128 targets of action of tar and nicotine using the Swiss Target Prediction, NP-MRD, and PubChem databases. We discovered that genes including DNAJB1, CCDC8, LINC00888, ATP6V1G1, MPV17L2, PPCS, and TACC1 had a disease prognostic guiding value by LASSO analysis and differential analysis of GEO microarray data.

Tobacco smoke is the main risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite current therapies alleviate symptoms there are limitations in the efficacy of treatments to curb its cardiovascular morbidities, particularly vascular dysfunction and the development of pulmonary hypertension. Our previous studies demonstrate that cigarette smoke directly contributes to pulmonary arterial dysfunction.
