Researchers surveyed over 5,800 smokers who tried to quit without medication or support between 2009 and 2014. They found that 20% of those who used e-cigarettes reported quitting smoking conventional cigarettes, compared to only 10.1% of those using nicotine replacements like gum or patches. Senior author Prof. Robert West said e-cigarettes could improve public health by helping more smokers quit, as the health risks are much less than from smoking.

This study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using e-cigarettes for smoking reduction and harm reduction compared to placebo e-cigarettes. It will recruit 80 daily smoker participants aged 21-35 and randomly assign them to use e-cigarettes containing 4.5% nicotine or 0% nicotine placebo e-cigarettes for 3 weeks. The study will collect data through surveys and 4 times daily text messages to assess patterns of cigarette and e-cigarette use, nicotine cravings, and satisfaction. It hypothesizes that nicotine e-cigarette use will reduce cigarette consumption more than placebo e-cigarettes over the course of the study.
Study of substance abuse among medical students
The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of substance abuse among medical students in a private college in Southern India. A survey of 300 randomly selected students found that 37% had used alcohol, 12% smoked, and 8% had used drugs. The most common reasons for substance abuse were fun (36%) and stress relief (40%). The results suggest the need for intervention programs to promote healthy lifestyle practices among medical students.

Music Recommendation Tutorial
UPDATED VERSION (2011): http://www.slideshare.net/plamere/music-recommendation-and-discovery
As the world of online music grows, music 2.0 recommendation systems become an increasingly important way for music listeners to discover new music.
Commercial recommenders such as Last.fm and Pandora have enjoyed commercial and critical success. But how well do these systems really work? How good are the recommendations? How far into The Long Tail do these recommenders reach?
In this tutorial we look at the current stateof theart in music recommendation. We examine current commercial and research systems, focusing on the advantages and the disadvantages of the various recommendation strategies. We look at some of the challenges in building music recommenders and we explore some of the ways that MIR techniques can be used to improve future recommenders.
The pros and cons of e- cigarettes
E-cigarettes may help some smokers quit or reduce smoking, according to some studies. Research shows e-cigarettes can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms compared to regular cigarettes. However, other studies found e-cigarettes can still expose users to toxic chemicals and negatively impact lung function. Further research is still needed to understand the overall health impacts of e-cigarettes. The FDA is concerned about a lack of regulation and marketing that could increase youth addiction to nicotine.

Palazzolo 2013 (electronic cigarette)
This document reviews the scientific literature on electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vaping. It finds that while vaping may be less harmful than smoking, more research is still needed to understand the health effects of vaping. Regulations of e-cigarettes are currently controversial, as they are marketed as smoking cessation tools but cannot legally be classified as such. The medical community faces the challenge of advising patients on vaping given limited evidence; while vaping is likely less dangerous than smoking, physicians worry it could perpetuate nicotine addiction. More research is needed to establish the safety of e-cigarettes and their potential as a smoking alternative or cessation method.
E-ciggarettes & work productivity- research.pptx
E-cigarette use in the workplace can negatively impact productivity and employee health. A survey found that the majority of employees see colleagues vaping at work, and most feel bothered by it. While vaping may be used to quit smoking, exposure to secondhand vaping in the workplace encourages tobacco use and relapse. Regulations are needed to restrict vaping in offices to protect employees and support quitting efforts. Employers should implement tobacco-free policies and provide resources to address this workplace issue.
Vapours vs cigarettes research
E-cigarettes provide an alternative to nicotine delivery through vapor rather than smoke. While they may be less harmful than conventional cigarettes, there are still health risks and unknown long-term effects. The document discusses both sides of the debate around e-cigarettes. Some view them as a harm reduction tool that can help smokers quit, while others are concerned they could renormalize smoking behaviors and expose users to carcinogens. Long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the safety profile of e-cigarettes and their impacts on public health.

Smoking has negative effects on students' health, finances, and behavior according to a research paper. It discusses how smoking is harmful to students' health due to the 4000 chemicals in cigarettes. It also negatively impacts students financially as money spent on cigarettes would be better spent on other needs or saved. Additionally, smoking can lead to negative behaviors in students such as stress, aggression, and losing focus in class. The paper recommends preventing youth smoking through parental influence, education, and following Islamic rulings against the consumption of tobacco.
Smoking, Hearing Loss, Cigarette Smoking
Cigarette smoking is a vice that is not just bad for the heart and lungs. It could also negatively impair a person’s hearing. A study published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research revealed that smokers have an increased risk of hearing loss.
Cigarettes on the cardiovascular system
Tobacco smoking is a major public health threat for both
smokers and nonsmokers. There is accumulating evidence
demonstrating that smoking causes several human
diseases, including those affecting the cardiovascular system.
Indeed, tobacco smoking is responsible for up to 30% of heart
disease–related deaths in the United States each year.1 This
is the single most preventable risk factor related to the
development of cardiovascular disease, bringing about a trend
toward tobacco harm reduction that started years ago.2 As
tobacco usage declined over time in the United States,
industries introduced an alternative known as electronic
cigarettes (e-cigarettes) claiming they were a healthier
alternative to tobacco smoking.3
Since then, the number of e-cigarette users has increased
significantly because of the perception that they serve as a
healthy substitute to tobacco consumption with minimal or no
harm, a lack of usage regulations (although that has now
changed), and the appealing nature of these devices, among
other reasons.4 Consequently, e-cigarettes became the most
commonly used smoking products, especially among youth,
with more than a 9-fold increase in usage from 2011 to
2015.5 Based on these considerations, it is clear that there
are many unanswered questions regarding the overall safety,
efficacy of harm reduction, and the long-term health impact of
these devices.
Besides their potential negative health effects on users,
there is increasing evidence that e-cigarettes emit considerable
levels of toxicants, such as nicotine, volatile organic
compounds, and carbonyls, in addition to releasing particulate
matter (PM).6,7 Thus, they possess a potential harm to
nonusers either through secondhand or thirdhand exposure.
This is especially the case in vulnerable populations, such as
children, elderly, pregnant females, and those with a history of
MPs Advocate For More Relaxed E-cigarette Rules | Jenn Galandy
MPs in the UK are advocating for more relaxed rules regarding e-cigarettes. They argue that vaping is less harmful than smoking normal cigarettes and can help people quit smoking. The report calls for more freedom in e-cigarette advertising, relaxed regulations and taxes on e-cigarettes, and annual reviews of the health effects of vaping. It also discusses allowing vaping in public places like public transport. The responses to the report were mixed, with health groups wary of marketing to youth but supportive of helping smokers quit, while the public expressed concerns about unknown health risks of vaping in public.

Primary Care Interventions for Prevention and Cessation of Tob.docx
Primary Care Interventions for Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco Use
in Children and Adolescents
US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
US Preventive Services Task Force
Summary of Recommendations
The USPSTF recommends that primary care clinicians provide interventions, including education or
brief counseling, to prevent initiation of tobacco use among school-aged children and adolescents. B
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and
harms of primary care–feasible interventions for the cessation of tobacco use among school-aged
children and adolescents.
I
See the Figure for a more detailed summary of the recommendation for clinicians. See the Practice Considerations section for more information on effective
interventions to prevent initiation of tobacco use and for suggestions for practice regarding the I statement. USPSTF indicates US Preventive Services Task Force.
IMPORTANCE Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. An estimated
annual 480 000 deaths are attributable to tobacco use in adults, including from secondhand
smoke. It is estimated that every day about 1600 youth aged 12 to 17 years smoke their first
cigarette and that about 5.6 million adolescents alive today will die prematurely from a
smoking-related illness. Although conventional cigarette use has gradually declined among
children in the US since the late 1990s, tobacco use via electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is
quickly rising and is now more common among youth than cigarette smoking. e-Cigarette
products usually contain nicotine, which is addictive, raising concerns about e-cigarette use
and nicotine addiction in children. Exposure to nicotine during adolescence can harm the
developing brain, which may affect brain function and cognition, attention, and mood; thus,
minimizing nicotine exposure from any tobacco product in youth is important.
OBJECTIVE To update its 2013 recommendation, the USPSTF commissioned a review of the
evidence on the benefits and harms of primary care interventions for tobacco use prevention
and cessation in children and adolescents. The current systematic review newly included
e-cigarettes as a tobacco product.
POPULATION This recommendation applies to school-aged children and adolescents younger
than 18 years.
EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT The USPSTF concludes with moderate certainty that primary
care–feasible behavioral interventions, including education or brief counseling, to prevent
tobacco use in school-aged children and adolescents have a moderate net benefit. The
USPSTF concludes that there is insufficient evidence to determine the balance of benefits
and harms of primary care interventions for tobacco cessation among school-aged children
and adolescents who already smoke, because of a lack of adequately powered studies on
behavioral counseling interventions and a lack of studies on medications.
RECOMMENDATION The USPSTF recommends that.
Dual Users and Electronic Cigarette Only Users: Consumption and Characteristics
Dual Users and Electronic Cigarette Only Users: Consumption and CharacteristicsHealthcare and Medical Sciences
This study compared characteristics and consumption patterns of dual users (combustible cigarette and e-cigarette users) to e-cigarette only users. The study found that e-cigarette only users consumed higher levels of nicotine in e-juice and more e-juice per month than dual users. Dual users consumed nicotine significantly sooner after waking than e-cigarette only users. A regression analysis indicated that higher e-juice consumption and later first nicotine exposure after waking were associated with being an e-cigarette only user. The findings provide insight into differences between dual and e-cigarette only users to inform regulation and health messaging about e-cigarettes.NOTES FOR TWO MORE RESEARCH ARTICLES1The Effe.docx

KG 604: Graduate Research & Critical Analysis
Dr. Aditi Puri
14 Nov 2022
New Research Article 1
Who: The assessment of cost-utility analysis of lung cancer screening and the paybacks on integrating smoking cessation interventions was performed by Villanti et al.
Why: This study aimed to assess whether LDCT screening for lung cancer among commercially insured individuals between 50 and 64 years at high risk for this disorder is turning out to be cost-effective. The authors also strived to quantify the extra payback of integrating smoking cessation solutions within lung cancer screening programs.
When: The authors analyzed their study in 2012 assuming that all existing smokers and half of the prior smoker population aged between 50 and 64 years were eligible for screening, with the minimum being set at least thirty packs –years of smoking.
Where: The researchers used data from National Health Interview Survey on cigarette smoking conditions for individuals between 45 and 64 years who were making 30% of active smokers across the United States at the time. The cancer treatment costs were acquired from New York's taxpayer database, which provided information including physician, hospital, drug and ancillary costs eligible for insurer reimbursement.
How: The authors used qualitative research methods to build up on the prior simulation model to determine the utility cost of yearly, recurring LDCT screenings for the last 15 years within an assumed high-risk population of 18 million adults aged between 50 and 64 years. It specifically involved those who have consumed over 30 packs within their smoking history. The authors' findings indicate that the recurring yearly lung cancer screening within the high-risk population has been effective. Providing smoking cessation strategies within the yearly screening program has increased the cost-effectiveness of the disorder by between 40 and 45%.
New Research Article 2
Who: The study on Using a smoking cessation quitline to promote lung cancer screening was performed by Sharma et al.
Why: The goal of their study was to compare two alternatives to dispense information concerning lung cancer screening. This included a quitline, a mailed brochure pinned with in-depth messaging facilitated by a quitline coach. Therefore, the authors focused on assessing the strategy that will be effective and have a significant impact on the participants searching for information about lung cancer screening. The authors thus hypothesized that the individuals who received the brochure would repo.

It specifically involved those who have consumed over 30 packs within their smoking history. The authors' findings indicate that the recurring yearly lung cancer screening within the high-risk population has been effective. Providing smoking cessation strategies within the yearly screening program has increased the cost-effectiveness of the disorder by between 40 and 45%.
New Research Article 2
Who: The study on Using a smoking cessation quitline to promote lung cancer screening was performed by Sharma et al.
Why: The goal of their study was to compare two alternatives to dispense information concerning lung cancer screening. This included a quitline, a mailed brochure pinned with in-depth messaging facilitated by a quitline coach. Therefore, the authors focused on assessing the strategy that will be effective and have a significant impact on the participants searching for information about lung cancer screening. The authors thus hypothesized that the individuals who received the brochure would repo.

This study compared the effects of cigarette smoke, e-cigarette vapor, and pure nicotine on cell viability using HeLa cells. Various concentrations of smoke and vapor condensates collected from a mechanical smoking system were applied to cells for 24 hours. An MTT assay then measured cell viability. Cigarette smoke exposure resulted in lower viability than e-cigarette vapor, but higher than pure nicotine. The results provide insight into the acute toxicity of these substances and whether e-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes.
Final Draft 8
This document discusses electronic cigarettes (ECs) and whether they are safer than combustible cigarettes. It summarizes that while ECs may expose users to fewer harmful chemicals than smoking, the long-term safety of ECs is still unknown. Studies have found potentially harmful chemicals in EC vapor, but in much lower amounts than in cigarette smoke. The regulation of ECs is also debated, as stricter rules may discourage innovation but make the products less appealing to youth and non-smokers. The evidence that ECs help smokers quit is also limited and inconclusive. More research is still needed to understand the public health impact of ECs.
Electronic Cigarettes: Evidenced Based Decision Making Presentation
An assignment for Dental Hygiene Theory 1 was to create an annotated bibliography for a research topic of our choice. This project was designed to challenge our critical thinking and decision making skills. I chose to research electronic cigarettes and their effects on oral health. It was interesting to compare different literature on this subject and the validity that they held. Most of the articles were very similar in the information portrayed and were very educational.
Tobacco Harm Reduction - an introduction
This document provides an introduction to tobacco harm reduction and alternative nicotine products such as e-cigarettes. It summarizes statements from public health organizations that find e-cigarettes to be much less harmful than combustible cigarettes. Research shows e-cigarettes help smokers quit at the population level and are effective cessation tools. The document argues for risk-proportionate regulation and taxation of nicotine products to incentivize smokers to switch to less harmful options and further reduce smoking rates.
E- cigarettes as gateway to nicotine addiction
A study of 1,300 college students found that of the 43 students whose initial nicotine exposure was from e-cigarettes, only 1 went on to smoke regular tobacco cigarettes. This contradicts claims that e-cigarettes act as a gateway to smoking. While some public health groups worry e-cigarettes could increase youth nicotine addiction, this study found that the vast majority of students who started with e-cigarettes were not currently using nicotine or tobacco products. The issue of whether e-cigarettes truly lead youth to smoking, and increased nicotine addiction, or if they can benefit public health requires more research.
Innovation for Consumers: E-cigarettes and novel tobacco products - Part of t...
This document discusses e-cigarettes and novel tobacco products. It argues that they are substantially less harmful than combustible cigarettes and have the potential to significantly reduce smoking rates and associated deaths. However, regulations should balance this potential benefit with preventing unintended consequences like perpetuating smoking or increasing youth uptake. The document proposes risk-proportionate regulations and taxes to incentivize switching from cigarettes, along with standards, marketing restrictions, and age limits, while ensuring products remain appealing to smokers trying to quit. The goal is harm reduction for populations according to the WHO framework convention on tobacco control.
Bareham et al E-Cigarettes Controversies within the controversy
E-cigarettes have been controversial since being introduced over 10 years ago. There are ongoing debates around their potential health risks, effectiveness for smoking cessation, appropriate regulation, and the involvement of tobacco companies. Studies have shown mixed results on whether e-cigarettes help smoking cessation and their long-term health effects are still unclear due to lack of research and conflicting reports. Various organizations and experts disagree on the appropriate regulatory approach and how the risks of e-cigarettes compare to conventional cigarettes. The controversies surrounding e-cigarettes are complex with arguments on both sides and no consensus on important issues related to public health.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

E- cigarettes more effective than gums, patches
- 1. E-cigarettes more effective than gums, patches
- 2. To further investigate the impact e-cigarettes may have on quitting smoking, the researchers surveyed over 5,800 smokers between 2009 and 2014 who attempted to stop smoking without prescription medicine or professional support.
- 3. After adjusting for factors that could influence success at quitting - including age, nicotine dependence and previous quit attempts - the researchers found that 20% of those who tried to quit by using e- cigarettes reported having ceased smoking conventional cigarettes.
- 4. By comparison, only 10.1% of those who used nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches or gum, reported stopping smoking, and 15.4% of those who tried to quit without help stopped smoking.
- 5. Senior author Prof. Robert West, of UCL's Department of Epidemiology & Public Health, says e-cigarettes could improve public health "because of their widespread appeal and the huge health gains associated with stopping smoking."
- 6. "It is not clear whether long-term use of e- cigarettes carries health risks, but from what is known about the contents of the vapor, these will be much less than from smoking."
