Expectations and Preferences for Digital Cessation Treatment: Multimethods Study Among Older Adults Who Smoke Cigarettes

Expectations and Preferences for Digital Cessation Treatment: Multimethods Study Among Older Adults Who Smoke Cigarettes

More than half of older adults who smoke cigarettes want to quit [13], but only about a third (37%) use an evidence-based treatment when making a quit attempt [14]. However, when older adults do engage in evidence-based treatment, they experience comparable (and sometimes higher) quit rates compared to their younger counterparts [15].

Conversational Chatbot for Cigarette Smoking Cessation: Results From the 11-Step User-Centered Design Development Process and Randomized Controlled Trial

Conversational Chatbot for Cigarette Smoking Cessation: Results From the 11-Step User-Centered Design Development Process and Randomized Controlled Trial

Challenges in treatment engagement and cessation efficacy across all communities of people who smoke are compounded by a scarcity of trained clinicians and significant barriers, including cost and lack of insurance, hindering access to existing clinician-delivered interventions [10-14]. Given that 1.3 billion people in the world smoke cigarettes, with 70% of them wanting to quit, it would be impractical to have enough trained clinicians to help people quit smoking [15,16].

The Association Between Personality Traits and Health-Related Quality of Life and the Mediating Role of Smoking: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

The Association Between Personality Traits and Health-Related Quality of Life and the Mediating Role of Smoking: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

As such, those with higher agreeableness exhibit more positive social and prosocial behaviors [30], but they are also more susceptible to being socially influenced to smoke. People with a high level of openness tend to be more inclined to engage in novel activities and are more susceptible to experimenting with smoking [31].

Identifying Patterns of Smoking Cessation App Feature Use That Predict Successful Quitting: Secondary Analysis of Experimental Data Leveraging Machine Learning

Identifying Patterns of Smoking Cessation App Feature Use That Predict Successful Quitting: Secondary Analysis of Experimental Data Leveraging Machine Learning

Given that this was a secondary data analysis involving a relatively small convenience sample of individuals who participated in an experiment, findings from this study were not expected to be generalizable to the general population of people who smoke. Findings were also not expected to be generalizable to all quit START users because the experimental protocol itself may have affected some participants’ app feature use.

Efficacy of the QuitSure App for Smoking Cessation in Adult Smokers: Cross-Sectional Web Survey

Efficacy of the QuitSure App for Smoking Cessation in Adult Smokers: Cross-Sectional Web Survey

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 8 million people around the world die every year, either directly or indirectly (via secondhand smoke), because of tobacco consumption. Hence, the WHO [2] has identified the tobacco epidemic as one of the world’s biggest public health threats. Beyond the burden of mortality lies the burden of disease as a result of tobacco consumption. For every 1 individual who dies because of smoking, at least 30 live with a serious illness caused by smoking.

They do not create smoke or use combustion to operate. These consumer products have been rapidly gaining ground on combustible cigarettes (CCs) among smokers because of their potential for harm reduction from cigarette smoke and smoking cessation [1-3], their competitive price [4,5], and because of allowing people who smoke to continue having a “smoking experience without smoking” [6-8].

Investigation of the Association Between e-Cigarette Smoking and Oral Mucosal Health Status Among Young People: Protocol for a Case-Control Trial

Investigation of the Association Between e-Cigarette Smoking and Oral Mucosal Health Status Among Young People: Protocol for a Case-Control Trial

The development of oral mucosal lesions is based on the principle that tobacco irritates the oral mucosa (through cigarette smoke and the chemicals in cigarettes), causing it to react adversely to prolonged irritation. e-Cigarettes operate in a similar way to tobacco, which also irritates the oral mucosa through atomization and chemicals.

Effectiveness of the QuitSure Smartphone App for Smoking Cessation: Findings of a Prospective Single Arm Trial

Effectiveness of the QuitSure Smartphone App for Smoking Cessation: Findings of a Prospective Single Arm Trial

Of the total Indian adults who smoke, only a minority take advantage of evidence-based approaches to smoking cessation. The most effective tobacco cessation programs require personalized human intervention combined with costly pharmaceutical supplementation, making them unaffordable or inaccessible to most tobacco users [3,4]. Thus, digital therapies, delivered through smartphone apps, offer a promising alternative to these traditional methods [5-8].

Behavioral Activation–Based Digital Smoking Cessation Intervention for Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Clinical Trial

Behavioral Activation–Based Digital Smoking Cessation Intervention for Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Clinical Trial

However, to our knowledge, no randomized clinical trials have evaluated BA-based digital intervention approaches for smoking cessation among individuals who smoke cigarettes and have depressive symptoms. Importantly, because medication management is a critical component of any tobacco cessation intervention [38], it would be unwise to provide a digital cessation intervention without also providing pharmacotherapy.
