Bewerten Sie den Einfluss von Nikotinfluss und Nikotinform auf subjektive Auswirkungen im Zusammenhang mit der Abhängigkeit

Nikotinfluss, ein potenziell wirksames Instrument zur Regulierung der Nikotinabgabe durch elektronische Zigaretten: Bedeutung des Nikotinflusses für die Nikotinabgaberate und die subjektive Wirkung
Elektronische Nikotinabgabesysteme (ENDS) erhitzen und verdampfen eine nikotinhaltige Flüssigkeit, um ein Aerosol zu erzeugen, das Nikotin an das Blut und das Gehirn abgeben kann.
Der ENDS-Konsum hat im letzten Jahrzehnt rapide zugenommen, insbesondere unter Jugendlichen: Über 20 % der US-amerikanischen High-School-Schüler sind derzeit ENDS-Konsumenten, und es gibt Hinweise auf eine Nikotinabhängigkeit in dieser Bevölkerungsgruppe.
Es wurde ein Bundesgesetz vorgeschlagen, das die flüssige Nikotinkonzentration von ENDS begrenzen würde, um ENDS „deutlich weniger süchtig machend und für Jugendliche attraktiver“ zu machen.
Diese und andere Bemühungen zur Eindämmung der Sucht durch Begrenzung der Nikotinflüssigkeitskonzentration werden jedoch wahrscheinlich keinen Erfolg haben, da die Nikotinemissionen von ENDS von mehreren Variablen abhängen.
Um die beabsichtigten Ziele im Bereich der öffentlichen Gesundheit zu erreichen, müssen sich die Suchtbekämpfungsvorschriften auf die Nikotinabgabe und nicht auf die Nikotinkonzentration konzentrieren.
Während die Nikotinabgabe nicht direkt reguliert werden kann, kann die Geschwindigkeit, mit der ein ENDS Nikotin ausstößt, der „Nikotinfluss“, auf der Grundlage einiger Gerätedesign- und Betriebsvariablen reguliert und, was wichtig ist, vorhergesagt werden.
Bisher gibt es jedoch keine empirischen Belege für den Zusammenhang zwischen Flux und Abgabe oder zwischen Flux und den subjektiven Effekten, die eine Nikotinabhängigkeit unterstützen.
Die Schließung dieser Lücke ist für die Bereitstellung eines wirksamen Rahmens für die Regulierung von ENDS von wesentlicher Bedeutung.
An der American University of Beirut werden die Forscher den Zusammenhang zwischen Nikotinfluss, -form und subjektiven Wirkungen untersuchen.
Die Teilnehmer verwenden ENDS-Geräte mit unterschiedlichen Nikotinflüssen und -formen.
Abhängigkeitsmaße wie Rauchdrang, Verlangen und Abstinenz werden bewertet.
Das Ergebnis gibt Aufschluss darüber, inwieweit der Nikotinfluss bzw. die Nikotinform die subjektiven Auswirkungen im Zusammenhang mit der Abhängigkeit, der Zugintensität und der Exposition gegenüber Giftstoffen beeinflusst.
Zusammenfassend wird dieses Projekt die empirischen Beweise liefern, die öffentliche Gesundheitsbehörden benötigen, um den Nikotinfluss als umfassendes und praktisches Konstrukt zur Regulierung der Nikotinabgabe von ENDS zu nutzen.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Bewerten Sie den Einfluss des Nikotinflusses und der Nikotinform auf die subjektiven Wirkungen.
An der AUB bewerten die Forscher subjektive Effekte (z. B.
Produktgefallen, Nikotinverlangen) und Zugtopographie für 130 Teilnehmer, die sich 5 ENDS-Konsumsitzungen unterziehen, bestehend aus 2 Zügen (10 Züge + 60 Minuten nach Belieben) mit 2 Flussmitteln (16 und 32 μg/s) x 2 Formen (protoniert, Freebase) und ein 0-Nikotin-Zustand.
Darüber hinaus werden die Forscher ein hochmodernes Gerät verwenden, um vor Ort eine Probe eines Bruchteils des bei jedem Zug erzeugten Aerosols zu entnehmen, um den tatsächlichen Nikotinfluss und die tatsächliche Nikotinform zu überprüfen und die Exposition gegenüber Lungengiften (Carbonylen) zu messen.
Die Forscher gehen davon aus, dass ein erhöhter Nikotinfluss und protoniertes Nikotin zu einer stärkeren Verringerung des Nikotinverlangens sowie zu einer geringeren Zugintensität und Carbonylbelastung führen wird.

The Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS; based on Hughes and Hatsukami, 1986 questionnaire) was measured using composite mean of MNWS items (irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, hunger/appetite, Impatient, depression, desire for sweets and craving) on a 0-10 scale (Not at all - Extremely), with higher scores indicating greater withdrawal severity.

Puff Duration - Combination 6,7 & 8
Zeitfenster: Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
|
Measured topography Average Puff Duration (sec) - using Subox mini C. Puffs were administered in alternating order using block randomization; for Combination Six, odd puffs were delivered at 20W and even puffs at 40W; for Combination Seven, odd puffs were delivered at 20W/8mg/mL and even puffs at 40W/4mg/mL; for Combination Eight, odd puffs were delivered at 30/70 PG/VG and even puffs at 70/30 PG/VG.

Sensory Feedback - Perceived Mouthful - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Zeitfenster: Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
|
The perceived mouthful will be assessed using the following question: "How would you rate the amount of smoke filling your mouth during the puff you just smoked?".
A subjective visual analog scale will be used (1-5, barely any smoke- a lot of smoke) with higher scores indicating higher mouthful.
Puffs were administered in alternating order using block randomization; for Combination Six, odd puffs were delivered at 20W and even puffs at 40W; for Combination Seven, odd puffs were delivered at 20W/8mg/mL and even puffs at 40W/4mg/mL; for Combination Eight, odd puffs were delivered at 30/70 PG/VG and even puffs at 70/30 PG/VG.

Sensory Feedback - Perceived Draw Effort - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Zeitfenster: Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
|
The perceived draw effort will be assessed using the following question: " How would you rate the effort needed to draw the puff you just smoked?".
A subjective visual analog scale will be used (1-5, easy- hard) with higher scores indicating harder draw effort.
Puffs were administered in alternating order using block randomization; for Combination Six, odd puffs were delivered at 20W and even puffs at 40W; for Combination Seven, odd puffs were delivered at 20W/8mg/mL and even puffs at 40W/4mg/mL; for Combination Eight, odd puffs were delivered at 30/70 PG/VG and even puffs at 70/30 PG/VG.

|
Sensory Feedback - Throat Hit - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Zeitfenster: Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
|
The perceived Throat hit will be assessed using the following question: "How would you describe the throat hit of the device you just used" (0-100 General Labeled Magnitude Scale; anchors: "barely detectable" to "strongest imaginable").
Puffs were administered in alternating order using block randomization; for Combination Six, odd puffs were delivered at 20W and even puffs at 40W; for Combination Seven, odd puffs were delivered at 20W/8mg/mL and even puffs at 40W/4mg/mL; for Combination Eight, odd puffs were delivered at 30/70 PG/VG and even puffs at 70/30 PG/VG.
