ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Heated tobacco product (HTP) use has increased substantially between 2016 and 2017 in Japan. This study aims to clarify how HTP use (IQOS, Ploom, and glo) spread across the different combustible cigarette smoking statuses during 2015-16 and 2017-18 in Japan.@*METHODS@#We compared the two periods of (i) 2015 to 2016 (N = 5,366) and (ii) 2017 to 2018 (N = 3,422) from a longitudinal study randomly sampling members from the Japan "Society and New Tobacco" Internet Survey (JASTIS). Multivariable logistic regression models for current HTP use in the previous 30 days by combustible cigarette smoking status in the previous year were used adjusting for socio-demographic factors.@*RESULTS@#HTP use increased by 10 times in the 2017-18 cohort compared with the 2015-16 cohort according to the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for current HTP use as 10.2 (7.03-14.8). According to smoking status, significantly higher adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of current HTP use for the after period were observed: 2.60 (1.37-4.94) for never smokers, 7.82 (3.64-16.8) for former smokers, 21.1 (5.73-77.9) for current smokers with intention to quit, and 17.0 (9.58-30.3) for current smokers without intention to quit.@*CONCLUSION@#During 2015 to 2018 in Japan, HTP use dramatically increased in all subgroups except for never smokers.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar el nivel de conocimiento, creencias, percepción y practicas asociadas al consumo de cigarrillos electrónicos en los estudiantes universitarios (UASD), recinto Santiago, República Dominicana. Cada estudiante firmó un consentimiento informado certificando que éste respondió cada pregunta realizada por el entrevistador de manera voluntaria. El método de recolección de los datos fue mediante entrevistas, las cuales fueron grabadas por los entrevistadores. La muestra fue de 53 entrevistas, 48 individuales y 5 grupos focales, la misma se tomó hasta alcanzar el punto de saturación de cada pregunta, es decir cuando todas las respuestas se tornaron repetitivas. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico y de fuentes primarias en el período mayo-agosto del año 2019 en la universidad privada Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) y la universidad pública Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. (UASD), campus Santiago, República Dominicana. El método de recolección de datos se realizó a través de entrevistas, las cuales fueron grabadas por los entrevistadores. Cada estudiante entrevistado firmó un consentimiento informado certificando que respondió voluntariamente a cada pregunta formulada por el entrevistador. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 53 entrevistas, 48 personas y cinco grupos focales. Las entrevistas se realizaron hasta llegar al punto de saturación de cada pregunta, que es cuando todas las respuestas se volvieron repetitivas. Resultados: El conocimiento que tiene los estudiantes universitarios sobre cigarrillo electrónico (CE), es pobre, desde su funcionamiento, partes, sustancias e incluso las posibles complicaciones que puede traer a la salud, tanto en la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) como en la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD), pero es más notable en la universidad pública. Por otro lado, muchos perciben el CE, como una alternativa del uso de tabaco, que posee diversidad de sabores, olor agradable, atractivo, práctico y capaz de ofrecer relajación. En cuanto a la actitud hacia el dispositivo, en PUCMM exhibe un mayor nivel de rechazo con respecto al uso. Es importante mencionar, que mayoría de los entrevistados son o alguna vez fueron usuarios de este, no obstante, no lo recomiendan en gran medida, ya que asumen que puede causar daño y ser adictivo, aunque en menor medida al cigarrillo convencional. La población más susceptible a su uso, son los jóvenes y el sexo masculino, aunque las féminas se han ido sumando de manera significativa. De igual modo, se logró apreciar las grandes influencias que mueven a los jóvenes a su consumo, incluyendo, las redes sociales, familia, amigos, en general el entorno en que se rodean. Conclusión: Concluimos que los estudiantes universitarios carecen de conocimiento con respecto al cigarrillo electrónico, tanto en el funcionamiento, sustancias y complicaciones para la salud. Muchos observan al cigarrillo electrónico como un dispositivo para fumar con un olor agradable, por lo cual puede ser muy atractivo para los usuarios. Se logró apreciar el importante papel que juegan las influencias sociales para el uso del dispositivo, promovido por las redes sociales y relaciones cercanas. Otro problema en la sociedad actual es el uso de CE en menores de edad. Según los resultados existe una gran necesidad de intervención y educación, principalmente en los jóvenes.


Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the level of knowledge, beliefs, perception, and practices associated with consuming electronic cigarettes among university students. Materials and methods: A qualitative study of phenome-nological type and from primary sources was carried out in the period of May-August of the year 2019 at the private university Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Mae-stra (PUCMM) and the public university Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD), Santiago campus, Dominican Republic. The data collection method was done through interviews, which the interviewers recorded. Each student interviewed signed an informed consent cer-tifying that they answered voluntarily each question asked by the interviewer. The sample consisted of 53 interviews, 48 individuals, and five focus groups. Interviews were done until reaching the saturation point of each question, which is when all the answers became repetitive. Results: University students' knowledge regarding elec-tronic cigarettes (EC) is poor. Knowledge regarding its mechanism, parts, substances, and possible complications to one's health, is scarce both in PUCMM and the UASD, but this is more notable at the public university. Addition-ally, many perceive EC as an alternative to tobacco use, the former, as per our study population, having a variety of fla-vors, a pleasant smell, being attractive, practical, and capa-ble of offering relaxation. Regarding the attitude towards the device, PUCMM exhibits a higher level of rejection regarding its use. It is essential to mention that most inter-viewees were once users of EC. However, they do not rec-ommend it to a great extent since they assume that it can cause harm and be addictive, although to a lesser extent than conventional cigarettes. The population most suscep-tible to its use are young people, including minors and the male gender, although females have been significantly increasing its use. Similarly, it was possible to appreciate the influences that greatly evoke the younger population's consumption, including social networks, family, friends, and the surrounding environment. Conclusion: We concluded that university students have insufficient knowledge regarding electronic cigarettes, both in their mechanism, substances, and health compli-cations. Most see electronic cigarettes as smoking devices with a pleasant smell, which can be very attractive to users. It was possible to observe the critical role played by social influences on the use of the device, promoted by social networks and close relationships. Another problem in cur-rent society is the use of CE in minors. According to the results, there is a great need for intervention and educa-tion, mainly among the younger generation.

ABSTRACT

Com a instauração da política de cotas, ocorreram profundas transformações no perfil dos estudantes das universidades públicas brasileiras. Essa nova composição do corpo discente, com maior representatividade de minorias e/ou estudantes de baixa renda, traz consigo novas demandas relacionadas à saúde mental do estudante. Apesar disso, ainda são escassas as pesquisas que investiguem esse contexto específico. Este estudo visa comparar a saúde mental de estudantes cotistas e não cotistas, avaliando diferenças nas prevalências de sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e estresse entre os dois grupos. Participaram da pesquisa 6.103 estudantes de graduação de uma universidade pública federal, dos quais 2.983 (48,88%) cotistas e 3.120 (51,12%) não cotistas. O levantamento de dados foi feito por meio de questionário on-line contendo questionário sociodemográfico e de hábitos de vida, e pelo Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, na sua versão reduzida de 21 itens (DASS-21), utilizada para avaliar sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e estresse. Os resultados indicaram que os estudantes cotistas apresentaram maiores prevalências de sintomas de depressão e ansiedade quando comparados aos não cotistas. As áreas de Ciências Exatas e da Terra, e os Bacharelados Interdisciplinares apresentaram maiores diferenças entre os dois grupos em relação a esses problemas em saúde mental. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de que as universidades estejam atentas às novas demandas em saúde mental dos estudantes e que estas sejam contempladas nas políticas de atenção à saúde estudantil.(AU)


With the introduction of the quota policy, profound changes took place in the profile of students in Brazilian public universities. This new composition of the student body, with greater representation of minorities and/or low-income students, brings new demands related to student mental health. Despite this, there are still few studies investigating this specific context. This study aims to compare the mental health of quota and non-quota students, evaluating differences in the prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress between the two groups. A total of 6,103 undergraduate students from a federal public university participated in the research, of which 2,983 (48.88%) were quota students and 3,120 (51.12%) were nonquota students. Data collection was carried out via an online questionnaire containing a sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire, and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, in its reduced version of 21 items (DASS-21) was used to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results indicated that quota students had higher prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety when compared to non-quota students. The areas of Exact and Earth Sciences and Interdisciplinary Bachelors were the ones that showed the greatest differences between the two groups in relation to these mental health problems. The results point to the need for universities to be attentive to the new demands in mental health of students and for these to be included in student health care policies.(AU)


Con la introducción de la política de cuotas, se produjeron cambios profundos en el perfil de los estudiantes de las universidades públicas brasileñas. Esta nueva composición del alumnado, con mayor representación de minorías y/o estudiantes de escasos recursos, trae consigo nuevas demandas relacionadas con la salud mental del alumno. Pero todavía existen pocas investigaciones sobre el contexto específico. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comparar la salud mental de los estudiantes beneficiarios de las políticas de cuotas y los no beneficiarios, y evaluar las diferencias en la prevalencia de síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés entre los dos grupos. En la investigación participaron un total de 6.103 estudiantes de grado de una universidad pública federal, de los cuales 2.983 (48,88%) son estudiantes beneficiarios y 3.120 (51,12%) son estudiantes no beneficiarios. Los datos se recolectaron de un formulario en línea, que estaba compuesto por un cuestionario sociodemográfico y de hábitos de vida, y por la Escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés, en su versión reducida de 21 ítems (DASS-21), utilizada para evaluar síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Los resultados destacaron que los estudiantes beneficiarios de las políticas de cuotas tenían una mayor prevalencia de síntomas de depresión y ansiedad en comparación con los estudiantes no beneficiarios. Las áreas de Ciencias Exactas y de la Tierra y Licenciaturas Interdisciplinarias presentaron las mayores diferencias entre los dos grupos con relación a estos problemas en salud mental. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de que las universidades sean conscientes de las nuevas demandas sobre la salud mental de los estudiantes y de que estas se incluyan en las políticas de atención de la salud estudiantil.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the prevalence of e-cigarette use among adolescent in Zhejiang province, and to analyze its distribution of different genders and school types to provide evidence for controlling the use of e-cigarette among adolescent. Methods: A total of 7 663 students from 60 middle schools through stratified multi-stage cluster sampling methods from Zhejiang province were surveyed by using questionnaire. Indicators as tried to use e-cigarette rate, current e-cigarette using rate, and other indicators were collected. All data were weighted by age proportions of adolescent in Zhejiang. Results: The prevalence of tried to use and current using e-cigarettes among middle school students were 6.99% and 1.45%, respectively; and there were 4.19% juniors who were susceptibility to future e-cigarette use. The rate of tied to use e-cigarette, current using e-cigarette and susceptibility to future e-cigarette use were higher in boys than in girls. The rate of current using e-cigarette was 2.07% for rural and 0.48% for urban. Technical secondary school students had the highest rate of tried to use e-cigarette and susceptibility to future e-cigarette use (13.53%, 6.91%). Junior school students (2.96%) had the lowest level of susceptibility to future tobacco use. The rate of tried e-cigarette use and current e-cigarette use and susceptibility to future e-cigarette use were higher in the group of "One of students' parents was smoker" (8.63%, 2.19%, 5.23%). The highest rate of current smoking was found in the group of "Weekly allowance more than 50 Yuan" (10.02%, 2.54%, 6.29%). Compared to technical secondary school students, senior school student (OR=0.57) and junior school students (OR=0.45) were less likely to try to use e-cigarette. Students whose weekly allowance were less than 20 Yuan were less likely to try to use e-cigarette (OR=0.49). Students who were boys (OR=5.44) and one of their parents was smoker (OR=1.59) were more likely to try to use e-cigarette. Conclusions: There were middle school students with tried e-cigarette use and current e-cigarette use, especially in technical secondary schools. The prevalence of e-cigarette using among middle school students increased with age. It is important to further spread of e-cigarette knowledge widely and deeply, and reduce the susceptible population of adolescents using e-cigarettes.

ABSTRACT

Tobacco intersects with the COVID-19 pandemic not only in terms of health consequences, but also environmental change and planetary health. Tobacco use exacerbates inequalities, causes catastrophic environmental degradation and climate change and adds burdens to COVID-19-related mortality, which are major challenges to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic has provided a chance to combat tobacco use and accelerate efforts to alleviate these challenges in response. The MPOWER measures introduced by the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) can play a crucial role in COVID-19 recovery to fight tobacco use and contribute to sustainable and equitable development. To accelerate recovery, it is critical to call for actions for governments and policy-makers to strengthen synergies and coordinate policy actions emphasising tobacco control and cessation across equity, public health, and climate actions as global authorities pledge to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and net zero emissions targets as part of the Climate Change Conference 2021 (COP26).

ABSTRACT

Responsável por milhões de óbitos anuais e um grande custo para a saúde pública, o câncer é a segunda maior causa de mortes no mundo. Dentre seus diversos tipos, o câncer de pulmão, além da alta incidência, é um dos mais letais. A exposição a substâncias tóxicas provenientes da combustão de matéria orgânica, assim como o consumo de cigarro, são os principais responsáveis pela alta incidência de câncer de pulmão. Dentre estas substâncias, está o benzo[α]pireno (B[α]P), um carcinógeno completo, ou seja, capaz de iniciar e promover o processo de carcinogênese. Resultados anteriores obtidos pelo grupo demonstraram que células BEAS-2B expostas a 1 µM de B[α]P apresentaram alterações das concentrações de metabólitos intracelulares, indução de estresse redox e hipermetilação do DNA. A exposição a 1 µM de nicotinamida ribosídeo (NR), um dos precursores de NAD+, foi capaz de proteger as células BEAS-2B contra a transformação induzida por B[α]P, além de impedir totalmente que células não expostas a B[α]P formassem colônias em soft-agar. A utilização da proteômica neste trabalho permitiu verificar a abundância das proteínas nos quatro diferentes grupos de exposição: Controle, B[α]P, B[α]P + NR e NR. Após 120 h de exposição as células foram coletadas, as proteínas extraídas e preparadas para análise. Foram descobertas 3024 proteínas posteriormente analisadas com o objetivo de elucidar vias possivelmente envolvidas na proteção contra o processo de transfomação maligna. Os grupos NR e Controle demonstram ser mais parecidos em relação ao seu conteúdo, enquanto os grupos B[α]P e B[α]P + NR foram mais semelhantes entre si. A análise de proteínas exclusivas revelou menos processos relacionados ao reparo de DNA no grupo tratado apenas com B[α]P quando comparado com B[α]P + NR. A análise estatística do total de proteínas utilizando o teste ANOVA (p < 0,05, N = 5) revelou 564 proteínas diferencialmente expressas entre os grupos. A clusterização nos permitiu observar a diferença na abundância de proteínas entre os quatro tratamentos. As proteínas estão envolvidas em funções como a regulação do metabolismo, resposta a estresse, transdução de sinal, regulação de expressão gênica e morte celular. Um dos clusters (cluster 1), contendo 59 proteínas, revelou poucos processos na análise de enriquecimento, mas as proteínas contidas nele apresentam funções como controle da divisão celular, apoptose e proteção ao estresse redox. Nele podemos observar que, no geral, o tratamento com B[α]P aumentou a abundância de algumas proteínas, o que foi revertido no grupo B[α]P + NR. O tratamento apenas com NR diminuiu a abundância das proteínas contidas nesse cluster. Outro cluster (cluster 4) apresentou 51 proteínas de abundância diminuída durante a exposição ao B[α]P, o que se reverteu no grupo B[α]P + NR. As proteínas desse cluster estão envolvidas em etapas importantes da via glicolítica, de crescimento, adesão, migração e invasão celular. Apesar de ser descrito que a exposição a NR pode aumentar a eficiência do reparo de DNA, os resultados apresentados nesse trabalho indicam que o efeito protetor pode estar relacionado com a modulação do ciclo celular ou alterações na adesão celular


Responsible for millions of annual deaths and a great health expense, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. Among its many types, lung cancer, besides its high incidence, is also one of the most lethal. Exposure to toxic substances resulting from the combustion of organic matter, as well as cigarette consumption, are the mainly responsible for the high incidence of lung cancer. One of these substances is benzo[α]pyrene (B[α]P), a complete carcinogen, able to initiate and promote the carcinogenesis process. Results obtained previously demonstrated that BEAS-2B cells exposed to 1 µM BaP presented alterations in the levels of intracellular metabolites, induction of oxidative stress, and hypermethylation of DNA. The exposure to 1 µM nicotinamide riboside (NR), one of the precursors of NAD+, was able to protect BEAS-2B cells against the transformation induced by B[α]P, moreover, it also totally prevented the colonies formation on soft agar in cells not exposed to B[α]P. The use of proteomics allowed us to verify the abundance of proteins in the four different exposure groups: Control, B[α]P, B[α]P + NR e NR. After 120h of exposure, the cells were collected followed by the extraction of the proteins. A total of 3024 proteins were identified and analyzed aiming to elucidate possible pathways involved in the protective effect against the malignant transformation induced by B[α]P. The NR and Control groups showed to be more similar, while B[α]P and B[α]P + NR were more similar. The analysis of exclusive proteins revealed fewer processes related to DNA repair in B[α]P when compared with B[α]P + NR. The statistical analysis of the total proteins using the ANOVA test (p <0.5, N = 5) revealed 564 proteins differentially expressed between the groups. The heatmap showed the difference in protein abundance between the four treatments. Proteins are involved in functionssuch asthe regulation of metabolism, stress response, signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, and cell death. One of the clusters (cluster 1), containing 59 proteins, revealed a few processes in the enrichment analysis, but the proteins contained in it have functions such as control of cell division, apoptosis, and protection from redox stress. It is possible to observe, in general, treatment with B[α]P increased the abundance of some proteins, which was partially reversed in group B[α]P + NR. On the other hand, the NR treatment decreased the abundance of proteins contained in this cluster. Another cluster (cluster 4) showed 51 proteins of decreased abundance during exposure to B [α] P, which was partially reversed in group B[α]P + NR. The proteins in this cluster are involved in important stages of the glycolytic pathway, also in growth, adhesion, migration, and cell invasion. Although it has been described that exposure to NR can increase the efficiency of DNA repair, the results presented in this work indicate that the protective effect may be related to the modulation of the cell cycle or cell adehsion modifications

ABSTRACT

La evidencia sugiere que la exposición a sustancias psicoactivas se relaciona con alteraciones en la espermatogénesis que afectan la calidad espermática. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar los parámetros espermáticos en consumidores habituales de cigarrillos de marihuana. Se analizaron muestras seminales de 42 consumidores activos de cigarrillos de marihuana y de 16 voluntarios no consumidores de marihuana. Mediante un análisis de semen, se determinaron los parámetros seminales convencionales (viabilidad, movilidad, morfología, y concentración de los espermatozoides) siguiendo los lineamientos establecidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Adicionalmente, se evaluó la capacidad antioxidante del plasma seminal mediante la determinación del porcentaje de inhibición del radical estable 1,1-difenil-2-picril-hidracilo. Los valores de la mediana de los consumidores respecto al grupo control fueron: volumen ­ 2,98 mL versus 3,95 mL (p = 0,0221); concentración total ­ 189 millones/mL versus 291,1 millones/mL (p = 0,0636); movilidad progresiva ­ 50% versus 56,5% (p = 0,0052); viabilidad ­ 65,3% versus 73,1% (p = 0,0732); y morfología normal ­ 5% versus 7% (p = 0,0167), respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio indican que el consumo de cigarrillos de marihuana afecta negativamente la movilidad progresiva, la morfología normal y la concentración total de espermatozoides; además, la concentración total de espermatozoides está afectada por la frecuencia del consumo de cigarrillos de marihuana.


Evidence suggests that exposure to psychoactive substances is related to spermatogenesis alterations that affect sperm quality. The objective of the present work was to determine sperm parameters in regular users of marijuana cigarettes. Seminal samples from 42 active consumers of marijuana cigarettes and 16 volunteer non-marijuana users were analyzed. Through a semen analysis, we identify conventional seminal parameters (viability, motility, morphology, and sperm concentration) according to the guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The antioxidant effect of the seminal plasma was evaluated through the determination of the percentage of inhibition of the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl. The median values of consumers with respect to the control group were respectively: volume ­ 2.98 mL versus 3.95 mL (p = 0.0221); total concentration ­ 189 million/mL versus 291.1 million/mL (p = 0.0636); progressive motility ­ 50% versus 56.5% (p = 0.0052); viability ­ 65.3% versus 73.1% (p = 0.0732); and normal morphology ­ 5% versus 7% (p = 0.0167). The results obtained in the present study indicate that the consumption of marijuana cigarettes negatively affects progressive motility, normal morphology, and total sperm concentration. In addition, the total sperm concentration is affected by the frequency of consumption of marijuana cigarettes

For data collection, a structured form was used and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test was used. For the analysis, the Chi-Square and/or Fisher's Exact Test with a 95% confidence interval was used. Results: there was an association between tobacco use and color (p=0.041), religious belief (p=0.001) and governmental benefit (p=0.006). There was an association between alcohol consumption and religious belief (p≤0.001). Regarding the need for intervention, there was an association between tobacco and color (p=0.009), income (p=0.001) and government benefit (p=0.006), as well as alcohol and age (p=0.035), religious belief (p=0.006) and income (p=0.002). Conclusion: factors such as religion, color, income, age and government benefit are associated with alcohol and tobacco use in rural women.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) conceitua o tabagismo como problema de saúde pública por estar entre as principais causas de morte evitável no mundo. A cessação do tabagismo é mensurada por meio do índice de cessação do tabagismo, que é calculado mediante a razão entre o número de pessoas que pararam de fumar e o número de pessoas que já fumaram algum dia (ex-fumantes e fumantes). Diversos são os fatores relacionados a cessação, podendo-se destacar aspectos sociodemográficos como ter idade relativamente avançada, renda mensal mais alta e um nível educacional mais alto; fatores ambientais tais como: restrições ao fumo em casa, bem como políticas antifumo em locais públicos e locais de trabalho. Para além dos fatores individuais, sabe-se que o ambiente social e físico no qual o indivíduo está inserido influencia diretamente a saúde e o comportamento, podendo também ser um preditor da cessação ao tabagismo. Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivo calcular o índice de cessação do tabagismo no Brasil, bem como, avaliar os fatores associados individuais e contextual. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo observacional do tipo transversal utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) realizada no ano de 2019. Inicialmente, foi realizada análise descritiva de cada variável estudada por meio do cálculo das frequências relativas. Posteriormente, foi realizada análise uni e multivariada, utilizando modelo de Poisson com variâncias robustas multinível para avaliar os fatores associados à cessação do hábito de fumar. No primeiro nível foram considerados os fatores sociodemográficos, comportamentais e de saúde, e no segundo a variável contextual Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) mensurada por Unidade Federativa (UF). As ponderações pertinentes ao delineamento amostral foram consideradas e todas as análises foram realizadas com o uso do programa STATA 14.0. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que a taxa de cessação do tabagismo no Brasil em 2019, foi de 68%, com média de 17 anos sem fumar (±12,9). No que se refere aos fatores sociodemográficos e econômicos associados a uma maior probabilidade de cessação foram: ser do sexo feminino (RP=1,10; IC95% 1,07-1,13), ter parceiro (RP=1,11; IC95% 1,08-1,15), ter escolaridade nível médio (RP=1,04; IC95% 1,01-1,08) ou superior (RP=1,07; IC95% 1,03-1,12), não possuir trabalho formal (RP=1,06; IC95% 1,03-1,09), frequentar atividade religiosa (RP= 1,08; IC95% 1,05-1,12), assistir propaganda sobre os malefícios do cigarro (RP=1,07; IC95% 1,02-1,11), ter hipertensão arterial (RP=1,10; IC95% 1,07­ 1,14), ter diabetes (RP= 1,07; IC95% 1,02­1,12), não presenciar fumo no domicílio (RP 1,43; IC95% 1,41-1,45), praticar exercício físico (RP=1,07; IC95% 1,03­1,10) e consumir bebida alcoólica menos de uma vez ao mês (RP 1,03; IC95% 0,99-1,07). Além disso, quanto maior o quartil de IDH da UF menor a probabilidade de cessação do tabagismo. Conclusão: Os achados do presente estudo afirmam que as desigualdades do índice de cessação têm um padrão diferente para algumas regiões do país. Dessa forma, é importante manter o monitoramento a fim de identificar possíveis localidades que precisem de intervenções mais direcionadas. O presente estudo poderá contribuir para melhoria dos processos e políticas públicas cujo foco seja a promoção da cessação do hábito de fumar.


Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) considers smoking as a public health problem as it is among the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Thousands of people die annually from tobacco-related diseases. Smoking cessation is measured using the smoking cessation index, which is calculated as the ratio between the number of people who have stopped smoking and the number of people who have ever smoked (ex-smokers and smokers). There are several factors related to cessation, among which are sociodemographic aspects such as being relatively advanced age, higher monthly income and a higher educational level can be highlighted; environmental factors such as attempts to quit smoking, restrictions on smoking at home, as well as anti- smoking policies in public places and workplaces, in addition to individual factors, it is known that the social and physical environment directly influences health and behavior in which a person is inserted, and may also be a predictor of smoking cessation. Objectives: This study aimed to calculate the smoking cessation rate in Brazil, as well as to evaluate individual and contextual associated factors. Methodology: This is a cross- sectional observational study using data from the National Health Survey (PNS) carried out in 2019. Initially, a descriptive analysis of each variance studied was performed by calculating the relative frequencies. Subsequently, a univariate and multivariate analysis was performed, using a Poisson model with robust multilevel variances to assess the factors associated with smoking cessation. In the first level, sociodemographic, behavioral and health factors were considered, and in the second one, the contextual variance Human Development Index, (HDI) measured by Federative Unit (FU). Weightings relevant to the sample design were considered and all analyzes were performed using the STATA 14.0 program. Results: The results showed that the smoking cessation rate in Brazil in 2019 was 68%, with an average of 17 years without smoking (±12.9). With regard to sociodemographic and economic factors associated with a greater probability of cessation, they were: being female (RP=1.10; CI95% 1.07-1.13), having a partner (RP=1.11; CI95 % 1.08-1.15), have secondary education (RP=1.04; 95%CI 1.01- 1.08) or higher education (RP=1.07; 95%CI 1.03-1.12) , not having a formal job (PR=1.06; 95%CI 1.03-1.09), attending religious activity (RP= 1.08; 95%CI 1.05-1.12), watching advertisements about the harmful effects of cigarette (PR=1.07; 95%CI 1.02- 1.11), having high blood pressure (PR=1.10; 95%CI 1.07­1.14), having diabetes (PR=1.07; 95%CI % 1.02­1.12), not witnessing smoking at home (PR 1.43; 95%CI 1.41- 1.45), practicing physical exercise (PR=1.07; 95%CI 1.03­1, 10) and consume alcohol less than once a month (PR 1.03; 95%CI 0.99-1.07). In addition, the higher the HDI quartile of FU, the lower the probability of smoking cessation. Conclusion: The findings of the present study state that the cessation rate inequalities have different pattern for some regions in the country. Thus, it is important to maintain monitoring in order to identify possible locations that need more targeted interventions. The present study will be able to contribute to the improvement of processes and public policies whose focus is on promoting smoking cessation.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a associação entre uso de cigarros eletrônicos e iniciação ao tabagismo, por meio de uma revisão sistemática com meta-análise de estudos longitudinais. Busca bibliográfica foi realizada nas bases MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS e PsycInfo. As etapas de seleção de referências, extração dos dados e avaliação do risco de viés dos estudos foi realizada em dupla, de forma independente e as divergências discutidas com um terceiro pesquisador para obtenção de consenso. Meta-análise foi realizada por meio do modelo Mantel-Haenszel de efeitos aleatórios. Dentre os 25 estudos incluídos, 22 avaliaram o desfecho de experimentação de cigarro convencional e nove avaliaram o desfecho de tabagismo atual (nos últimos 30 dias). A meta-análise demonstrou que o uso de cigarro eletrônico aumentou em quase três vezes e meia o risco de experimentação de cigarro convencional (RR=3,42; IC95% 2,81-4,15) e em mais de quatro vezes o risco de tabagismo atual (RR=4,32; IC95% 3,13-5,94). O risco de iniciação ao tabagismo é significativamente maior entre usuários de cigarro eletrônico. A liberação da comercialização desses dispositivos pode representar uma ameaça para as políticas de saúde pública no Brasil.


Abstract This article aims to evaluate the association between the use of electronic cigarettes and initiation to smoking, through a systematic review with meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. A bibliographic search was performed on the MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS and PsycInfo databases. Reference selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment of the studies were independently carried out in pairs, and the disagreements were discussed with a third researcher to reach a consensus. Meta-analysis was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel random effects model. Among the 25 studies included, 22 evaluated the outcome of conventional cigarette experimentation and nine assessed the outcome of current smoking (in the last 30 days). The meta-analysis showed that the use of electronic cigarettes increased the risk of conventional cigarette experimentation by almost three and a half times (RR=3.42; 95%CI 2.81-4.15), and by more than four times the risk of current smoking (RR=4.32; 95%CI 3.13-5.94). The risk of smoking initiation is significantly higher among electronic cigarette users. The marketing authorization of such devices may represent a threat to public health policies in Brazil.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: o tabagismo é uma das principais causas evitáveis de mortes no mundo representando um problema de saúde pública. Objetivo: investigar a relação da exposição passiva à fumaça principal do cigarro e as possíveis alterações histomorfométricas das células gliais, arteríolas e da matriz extracelular do nervo olfatório de ratas. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo experimental, analítico e quantitativo. Vinte ratas randomizadas divididas em dois grupos, controle e tabaco, foram expostas à inalação da fumaça principal do cigarro por 60 dias utilizando dispositivo validado na literatura. Resultados: a exposição à inalação da fumaça principal do cigarro resultou em alterações significativas no grupo tabaco, tais como, elevação nos níveis de cotinina no plasma sanguíneo, aumento na espessura da parede dos vasos sanguíneos, aumento na porcentagem do colágeno total do tecido, diminuição no número total de astrócitos e aumento no número total de micróglias. Conclusão: a exposição à fumaça principal do cigarro resulta em alterações histomorfométricas que poderiam causar alterações funcionais no nervo olfatório como perda sensorial olfativa. Os achados constatados são fortes o suficiente para servir como alerta a toda a população e às autoridades de saúde, no que se refere às leis antifumo, principalmente em ambientes fechados.


Introduction: smoking is one of the main preventable causes of death in the world and represents a worldwide public health problem. Objective: to investigate the relationship of second hand tobacco smoke and possible histomorphometric changes of glial cells, arterioles and extracellular matrix of the olfactory nerve in rats. Methodology: experimental, analytical and quantitative study, twenty wistar animals randomized into two control and tobacco groups, were exposed to inhalation of main cigarette smoke for 60 days using a device validated in the literature. Results: exposure to inhalation of main cigarette smoke resulted in changes in the tobacco group, such as increased levels of cotinine in the blood plasma, increased thickness of the blood vessel wall, increased percentage of total tissue collagen, decreased in the total number of astrocytes and increase in the total number of microglia. Conclusion: exposure to main cigarette smoke results in histomorphometric changes that can cause changes in the olfactory nerve such as sensory olfactory loss. Our findings are strong enough to serve as a warning to the entire population and to health authorities in relation to smokefree laws especially in closed environments.

ABSTRACT

Esta síntese rápida de evidências foi comissionada e subsidiada pelo Ministério da Saúde, no âmbito do projeto GEREB-010-FIO-20 e faz parte da Coleção "Rapid response for health promotion". PROBLEMA: O uso contínuo do tabaco, por exposição direta ou indireta, é considerado um problema global de saúde pública, responsável por oito milhões de mortes ao ano. Cerca de 80% dos usuários da substância residem em países de baixa e média renda, como o Brasil. O principal problema de saúde decorrente do uso dos derivados de tabaco é o câncer de pulmão, terceiro tipo de câncer mais comum na população e o mais letal. Neste cenário é importante que equipes e serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) estejam preparados para fornecer ações de prevenção e controle do fumo. Opções para enfrentar o problema: De 234 registros recuperados das bases de dados, após processo de seleção e elegibilidade, treze Revisões Sistemáticas (RS) foram incluídas nesta síntese narrativa. Os resultados foram organizados em quatro opções para políticas em contextos de APS. Efeitos positivos foram relatados nas RS para uma variedade de intervenções, no entanto, algumas incertezas também foram apontadas. Com relação à qualidade metodológica, uma RS foi classificada como de confiança moderada, duas de confiança baixa e dez de confiança criticamente baixa. Opção 1. Intervenções de aconselhamento conduzidas por profissionais de saúde: Seis RS apresentaram efeitos das intervenções de aconselhamento para cessação do uso do tabaco, conduzidas por profissionais farmacêuticos, enfermeiros, profissionais com treinamento específico para lidar com o tabagismo e profissionais não especificados. Uma variedade de modalidades de aconselhamento mostrou-se efetiva na comparação com nenhuma intervenção, cuidado habitual ou intervenções menos intensivas. Incertezas foram apontadas com relação aos efeitos da entrevista motivacional e na comparação do aconselhamento com intervenções mistas. Opção 2. Intervenções comportamentais únicas ou combinadas: Duas RS relataram que intervenções comportamentais se mostraram efetivas para lidar com o tabagismo em comparação a cuidados habituais, materiais educativos e aconselhamento breve. Incertezas foram relatadas em relação ao reforço contingente e com relação ao apoio comportamental para fumantes com sofrimento psíquico e jovens em diferentes situações de risco, sendo: adolescentes grávidas, adolescentes com doença mental, adolescentes em tratamento por uso abusivo de substâncias e estudantes residentes de comunidades socioeconomicamente vulneráveis (o risco e faixa etária não foi especificado em um estudo). Opção 3. Apoio de registro médico e feedback motivacional personalizado sobre riscos biomédicos: Duas RS investigaram os efeitos do apoio de registro médico nas consultas, e o feedback dos riscos biomédicos. As evidências são escassas para afirmar se essas intervenções são ou não efetivas na cessação do tabagismo. O uso de registro médico tem como base apenas dois estudos primários, um dos quais sem grupo controle. O uso de resultados de exames mostrou-se efetivo com o feedback sobre danos relacionados ao fumo, mas não teve o mesmo efeito quando esse feedback se referia à exposição ao fumo e ao risco de doenças relacionadas ao fumo. Opção 4. Intervenções multicomponentes: Oito RS apresentaram efeitos de diversas intervenções combinadas para redução ou cessação do uso do tabaco. Algumas intervenções foram realizadas por profissionais de farmácia, enfermagem, médicos ou equipe clínica. As intervenções multicomponentes mostraram-se efetivas para a cessação do tabagismo, particularmente nos estudos em que foram comparadas a nenhuma intervenção, cuidados habituais ou intervenções mais comumente utilizadas. No entanto, é importante considerar algumas incertezas de maior magnitude apontadas nos estudos, como a adição do aconselhamento por entrevista motivacional ou apoio por telefone


This rapid synthesis of evidence was commissioned and subsidized by the Ministry of Health, under the project GEREB-010-FIO-20 and is part of the "Rapid response for health promotion" Collection. PROBLEM: The continuous use of tobacco, through direct or indirect exposure, is considered a global public health problem, responsible for eight million deaths a year. About 80% of substance users reside in low- and middle-income countries, such as Brazil. The main health problem resulting from the use of tobacco derivatives is lung cancer, the third most common type of cancer in the population and the most lethal. In this scenario, it is important that Primary Health Care (PHC) teams and services are prepared to provide tobacco prevention and control actions. Options to tackle the problem: From 234 records retrieved from the databases, after a selection and eligibility process, thirteen Systematic Reviews (SR) were included in this narrative synthesis. The results were organized into four options for policies in PHC contexts. Positive effects were reported in the SRs for a variety of interventions, however, some uncertainties were also pointed out. Regarding methodological quality, one SR was classified as moderately confident, two as low confidence and ten as critically low confidence. Option 1. Counseling interventions conducted by health professionals: Six SRs showed effects of counseling interventions for tobacco use, conducted by pharmacists, nurses, professionals with specific training to deal with tobacco and unspecified professionals. A variety of counseling modalities have been shown to be effective in comparison with no intervention, usual care, or less intensive interventions. Uncertainties were pointed out regarding the effects of motivational interviewing and the comparison of counseling with mixed interventions. Option 2. Single or Combined Behavioral Interventions: Two SRs reported that behavioral interventions were effective in dealing with smoking compared to usual care, educational materials, and brief counseling. Uncertainties were reported in relation to contingent reinforcement and in relation to behavioral support for smokers with psychological distress and young people in different risk situations, namely: pregnant adolescents, adolescents with mental illness, adolescents undergoing treatment for substance abuse and students residing in communities socioeconomically vulnerable (risk and age group were not specified in one study). Option 3. Medical record support and personalized motivational feedback on biomedical risks: Two SRs investigated the effects of medical record support on appointments, and biomedical risk feedback. Evidence is scarce to state whether or not these interventions are effective in smoking cessation. The use of medical records is based on only two primary studies, one of which without a control group. The use of test results was effective with feedback on smoking-related harm, but did not have the same effect when that feedback referred to smoking exposure and risk of smoking-related illness. Option 4. Multicomponent Interventions: Eight SRs showed effects of several combined interventions to reduce or stop tobacco use. Some interventions were performed by pharmacy, nursing, medical or clinical staff professionals. Multicomponent interventions were shown to be effective for smoking cessation, particularly in studies where they were compared to no intervention, usual care, or more commonly used interventions. However, it is important to consider some uncertainties of greater magnitude pointed out in the studies, such as the addition of motivational interviewing counseling or telephone support

ABSTRACT

Abstract Cigarette consumption is a worldwide epidemic and its reduction is one of the major public health concerns. In Brazil, although there is a wide literature on smoking cessation it is restricted to experimental studies. Based on data from the 2013 National Health Survey (PNS), this study uses the survival methodology and use population data and consumer's profile to investigate which characteristics will affect smoking cessation hazard. The results showed that the people who are less likely to quit smoking are older, single men, with low income and fewer education years. They also do not practice physical exercise. The findings of cigarette cessation hazard to Brazilian population are similar of experimental studies with smokers and ex-smokers in country. Therefore, in order to decrease public health spending, Brazilian health policies regarding tobacco cessation could focus on those groups who will likely smoke for a long time.


Resumo O consumo de cigarro é uma epidemia mundial e sua redução é uma das principais preocupações de saúde pública. No Brasil, embora exista uma ampla literatura sobre a cessação do tabagismo, ela se restringe a estudos experimentais. Com base nos dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013 (PNS), este estudo usa a metodologia de sobrevivência e usa dados da população e os perfis dos consumidores para investigar quais características afetarão as chances de cessação do tabagismo. Os resultados mostraram que as pessoas com menor probabilidade de parar de fumar são homens mais velhos e solteiros, com baixa renda e menos anos de estudo, que não praticam exercícios físicos. Os achados do risco de cessação do cigarro para a população brasileira são semelhantes a estudos experimentais com fumantes e ex-fumantes no país. Portanto, para diminuir os gastos em saúde pública, as políticas de saúde brasileiras em relação à cessação do tabaco poderiam se concentrar nos grupos que fumarão por mais tempo.

ABSTRACT

Resumo As doenças relacionadas ao tabaco matam oito milhões de pessoas anualmente no mundo e, no Brasil, são responsáveis por milhares de casos de cânceres, doenças cardiovasculares e outras enfermidades. Os filtros nos cigarros são percebidos como uma tecnologia que reduziria os danos à saúde. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever a tecnologia dos filtros, seu histórico, seus impactos e discutir formas de regulação. Foi feita uma busca na literatura para avaliar os impactos desta tecnologia. Os resultados mostram que os filtros foram inicialmente desenvolvidos para fins estéticos, e posteriomente aprimorados e promovidos como uma tecnologia para redução de danos. O filtro de cigarro mais utilizado é o de acetato de celulose, combinado ou não com carvão ativado. Apesar das propagandas e da percepção dos fumantes, os filtros não trazem nenhum benefício à saúde, e sua associação com tecnologias como a perfuração nas ponteiras podem trazer mais riscos à saúde. Os filtros também podem tornar os cigarros mais atrativos e causam impactos ao meio ambiente. Por proporcionarem uma falsa percepção de riscos e nenhum benefício, os filtros deveriam ser uma tecnologia proibida.


Abstract Tobacco-related diseases kill eight million people worldwide ever year and are responsible for thousands of cases of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses in Brazil. Cigarette filters are believed by many to reduce the health risks of smoking. This article outlines the history of the technology of filters and discusses the impacts of these cigarette design features and their regulation. We conducted a literature review to assess the impacts of this technology. The results show that filters were initially developed for aesthetic purposes and later improved and marketed as a harm reduction technology. The most widely-used filters are those made of cellulose acetate with or without activated carbon. Despite smokers' beliefs and advertising claims, filters have no health benefits and filter tip ventilation can increase the health risks of smoking. Filters can also make cigarettes more appealing and cause significant environmental impacts. Cigarette filters have no health benefits and lull smokers into a false sense of security and should therefore be banned.

ABSTRACT

Resumo A presente investigação objetivou verificar modificações no consumo de cigarro e álcool em uma amostra de adolescentes do sistema estadual de ensino da cidade de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil entre 2015 e 2017. Estudo longitudinal de coorte prospectivo realizado com 799 adolescentes, entre 11 e 15 anos. O consumo leve e excessivo de álcool e de cigarro foram avaliados através do questionário Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Modificações do consumo de álcool e cigarro foram avaliadas através de modelos de Equação de Estimação Generalizável com distribuição de Poisson para obtenção de razões de taxas de incidência (RTI) com intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). A variável "tempo" foi tratada como variável independente, juntamente com demais possíveis preditores (sexo, faixa etária, estado nutricional, nível socioeconômico, escolaridade do chefe da família, atividade física e tempo em tela). O consumo de cigarros (RTI= 1,32, IC95%= 1,02; 1,71), consumo leve (RTI= 1,32, IC95%= 1,13; 1,53) e excessivo de álcool (RTI= 1,21, IC95%= 1,04; 1,40) cresceram significativamente entre 2015 e 2017. O presente estudo denota que os adolescentes participantes desta investigação estão modificando seus comportamentos em direção a um estilo de vida menos saudável.


Abstract The scope of this study was to verify alterations in cigarette and alcohol consumption in a sample of adolescents from the state education system of the city of Curitiba in the State of Paraná between 2015 and 2017. It involved a longitudinal prospective cohort study conducted with 799 adolescents (11 to 15 years of age) between 2015 and 2017. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) questionnaire evaluated mild and excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption. Modifications of alcohol and tobacco consumption were evaluated through Generalizable Estimating Equation (GEE) models with Poisson distribution to obtain Incidence Risk Ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The "time" variable was treated as an independent variable along with other possible predictors (gender, age bracket, nutritional status, socioeconomic level, head of household education, physical activity and screen time). Tobacco consumption (IRR= 1,32, 95%CI = 1,02; 1,71), mild (IRR= 1,32, 95%CI = 1,13; 1,53) and excessive (IRR= 1,21, 95%CI = 1,04; 1,40) alcohol consumption increased between 2015 and 2017. This study indicates that adolescents participating in this research are modifying their behaviors towards a less healthy lifestyle.

ABSTRACT

O tabagismo integra a classificação de distúrbios como transtornos mentais e comportamentais em razão do uso de substância psicoativa. Torna-se reconhecido como uma doença crônica causada pela dependência à nicotina, substância presente nos produtos à base de tabaco. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao uso de tabaco por estudantes universitários brasileiros. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática e metanálise de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2020. A pesquisa foi feita nas bases de dados Scielo.org e Scielo.br, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus e Embase. Esta pesquisa teve por base as recomendações metodológicas do Prisma. O rigor metodológico foi avaliado segundo critérios de Russell e Gregory. Dos 1.496 artigos, 18 entraram na revisão sistemática e oito na metanálise. Identificou-se que 61,11% dos estudos foram publicados entre 2010 e 2014. A prevalência do uso do tabaco variou entre 4,7% e 24,6%. Entre os ex-tabagistas, variou de 2,1% a 88,5%. Entre os sexos, 11% dos homens e 4% das mulheres usam tabaco, segundo a sumarização da metanálise. Destacaram-se os seguintes fatores associados: sexo masculino; morar sozinho ou com amigos; renda familiar de cinco a oito salários mínimos; classe econômica A1/A2; não trabalhar; e não ser adepto à religião. Existem variados estudos sobre o tema e que abrangem o período proposto publicados com diferentes perspectivas. Entretanto, as análises relatam divergência do consumo entre os sexos, assim como demonstram alguns fatores de proteção.


Smoking constitutes a mental and behavioral disorder due to the use of psychoactive substances and is recognized as a chronic disease caused by dependence on nicotine, substance present in tobacco products. To identify the prevalence and factors associated with tobacco use among Brazilian college students, this study carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis from January 2010 to December 2020. Data was collected by searches in the Scielo.org and Scielo.br, Virtual Health Library (BVS), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (Lilacs), Pubmed, Web of science, Scopus, and Embase databases. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines, and its methodological rigor was assessed according to Russell and Gregory. Of the 1496 papers found, 18 were included in the systematic review and eight in the meta-analysis. Of these, 61.11% were published between 2010 and 2014. The prevalence of tobacco use ranged from 4.7% to 24.6%; among former smokers, it ranged from 2.1% to 88.5%. As for gender, 11% of men and 4% of women use tobacco, according to summary of the meta-analysis. The following associated factors were highlighted: being male; living alone or with friends; family income from 5 to 8 minimum wages; economic class A1/A2; unemployed; and not being religious. Several studies address this subject in the proposed period, published with different perspectives. But the analyses report divergence of use between genders and point to some protective factors.

Este estudio se fundamentó en las recomendaciones metodológicas de Prisma. El rigor metodológico se evaluó según los criterios de Russell y Gregory. De los 1.496 artículos, 18 se incluyeron en la revisión sistemática y 8 en el metaanálisis. El 61,11% de los estudios se publicaron entre 2010 y 2014. La prevalencia del consumo de tabaco oscilaba entre el 4,7% y el 24,6%. Entre los exfumadores se osciló en el 2,1% y el 88,5%. Entre los sexos, el 11% de los hombres y el 4% de las mujeres consumen tabaco según muestra el metaanálisis. Se destacaron los siguientes factores asociados: sexo masculino; vivir solo o con amigos; ingresos familiares de 5 a 8 salarios mínimos, clase económica A1/A2; no trabajar; y no tener una religión. Varios estudios se dedican al tema y abarcan el periodo en estudio con diferentes perspectivas. Sin embargo, los análisis relatan la divergencia del consumo entre los sexos, así como demuestran algunos factores de protección.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#In recent years, heated tobacco products (HTPs), which are widely used in Japan, have been sold by various brands using additives such as flavors. It has been reported that the components of mainstream smoke are different from those of conventional cigarettes. In this study, we established an analytical method for furans and pyridines in the mainstream smoke, which are characteristic of HTPs and particularly harmful among the generated components, and investigated the amount of component to which the smokers are exposed.@*METHODS@#We established a simple analytical method for simultaneous analysis of gaseous and particulate compounds in the mainstream smoke of HTPs (IQOS, glo, ploom S) in Japan by combining a sorbent cartridge and glass fiber filter (Cambridge filter pad (CFP)). Both the sorbent cartridge and CFP were extracted using 2-propanol and analyzed via GC-MS/MS to determine the concentration of furans and pyridines generated from each HTP.@*RESULTS@#The results showed that the levels of target furans such as furfural, 2-furanmethanol, 2(5H)-furanone, and 5-methylfurfural tended to be higher in the mainstream smoke of glo than in standard cigarettes (3R4F). Pyridine, which is generated at a high level in 3R4F as a combustion component, and 4-ethenylpyridine (EP), which is a known marker of environmental tobacco smoke, were detected. Among these components, 2-furanmethanol and pyridine are classified as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Therefore, it is possible that they will contribute to the health effects caused by use of HTPs.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Using the new collection and analytical method for furans and pyridines in the mainstream smoke of HTPs, the level of each compound to which smokers are exposed could be clarified. By comprehensively combining information on the amount of ingredients and toxicity, it will be possible to perform a more detailed calculation of the health risks of using HTPs. In addition, the components detected in this study may be the causative substances of indoor pollution through exhaled smoke and sidestream smoke; therefore, environmental research on the chemicals generated from HTPs would be warranted in future studies.
