NCT06909500
This clinical trial evaluates a smartphone application (app) called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on Vaping for helping young adults quit using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). E-cigarettes pose numerous risks, particularly to youth and young adults. Addressing the high prevalence of e-cigarette use by young adults requires effective and accessible treatments to support current users to quit. Research shows this group prefers and benefits from newer methods of treatment delivery such as digital interventions. ACT on Vaping is a digital therapeutic intended to deliver behavioral therapy to young adults who vape to motivate and support abstinence from all nicotine and tobacco products. The app contains sessions that promote awareness of cues that trigger tobacco use and teach skills for responding to these triggers in a way that is tailored for the participant's readiness to quit. Receiving access to the ACT on Vaping app may be effective in helping young adults quit vaping.
NCT06249984
This clinical trial tests the effects of tobacco cut and nicotine form on the abuse liability in participants who use moist snuff (smokeless tobacco \[SLT\]). Two features of moist snuff that are key targets of manipulation from the tobacco industry and drivers of its addiction potential are length of tobacco cut (long versus fine) and nicotine form (low versus high levels of nicotine in the free-base form). Finer tobacco cuts and higher levels of free-base nicotine (FBN) result in faster, greater nicotine delivery. Researchers want to gain information on how certain characteristics of moist snuff affect how long people use it, how it delivers nicotine, or how much people like it. This clinical trial may provide justifications for local, state, or federal regulations aimed at reducing the appeal and addictiveness of moist snuff.
NCT05876091
This clinical trial tests the effect of tobacco flavor and liquid composition on the way a person puffs on a vape (topography). In general, tobacco products are designed with sensory factors in mind, such as flavor, to increase the appeal. Flavors and the composition of nicotine, either made in a lab (synthetic) or from tobacco, may create positive sensory effects, such as look, feel and taste, and influence smoking behavior and willingness to try different types of cigarettes. Understanding how nicotine vaping products are used is important in assessing individual and population level health risks. Vape flavors and synthetic nicotine may be related to harmful effects on health from vaping and may impact the appeal, risk beliefs and vaping topography.
NCT05730439
This clinical trial examines the impact of nicotine patches on preventing cancer in rural and Appalachia Ohio residents. Nicotine pouches are new smokeless tobacco products that are marketed as substitutes for smokeless tobacco and are gaining in popularity. There is little research on how nicotine pouches will be adopted by residents of Ohio Appalachia and rural Ohio. This study may help researchers better understand the appeal and potential impact of nicotine pouches on public health.
NCT05453773
This clinical trial evaluates how the content of waterpipe (WP) tobacco affects the appeal, puffing behavior, and toxicity of WP tobacco smoking. The data from the proposed study will provide direct links between WP tobacco's primary additives (sugars and humectants), CO and nicotine biomarkers, smoker preferences, perceptions of harm and puffing behaviors, and the subsequent range of toxicant exposures associated with these additives and behaviors. Study outcomes include waterpipe puffing behaviors, exhaled carbon monoxide levels, nicotine uptake, spirometry, sensory perceptions, smoking appeal, and risk perception. Waterpipe tobacco smoking is often the first combustible tobacco product tried by adolescents and young adults, possibly due to the widespread availability of heavily sweetened waterpipe tobacco and the perception that waterpipe smoking is a safer alternative to cigarette smoking. However, waterpipe tobacco smoking is associated with lung disease, carbon monoxide poisoning, and precursor conditions for oral and other cancers in adolescents and young adults. There is currently little data available on how the primary additives (by weight) in waterpipe tobacco affect puffing behaviors, toxicant exposures, pulmonary function and appeal. This clinical trial uses established waterpipe tobacco smokers, four investigational tobacco products with precisely manipulated levels of humectants and natural sugars in a single-blind, crossover (repeated measures) study design to determine how waterpipe tobacco additives effect human puffing behavior, nicotine uptake, flavor perceptions, lung function, and biomarkers of exposure.
NCT03200236
The purpose of this study is to compare intensive telephone counseling (ITC) plus the nicotine patch vs. standard telephone counseling plus the nicotine patch (Usual Care; UC) among current smokers undergoing lung cancer screening. Smoking-related outcomes will be examined at three, six and twelve months post-randomization.
NCT03402230
This randomized early phase I trial studies how well broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement works in decreasing toxicity in heavy smokers. Broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement is a dietary supplement made from broccoli sprout and seed extract powder, and may break down some of the cancer causing substances in tobacco smoke and produce substances that may protect cells from tobacco smoke-induced damage in current smokers.
NCT04510077
This trial investigates how well a smartphone-based smoking cessation program called SmartQuit works to help patients stop smoking. SmartQuit is an smartphone application-based smoking cessation program that includes a defined program consisting of interactive evidence-based exercises for dealing more effectively with urges to smoke, a place to track desired behaviors, personalized plans for quitting, and a certificate of completion once the recommended program components are completed. SmartQuit may help patients quit smoking, lower healthcare costs and reduce premature tobacco-related deaths.
