Oceń wpływ strumienia nikotyny i postaci nikotyny na subiektywne skutki związane z uzależnieniem

24 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: American University of Beirut Medical Center

Strumień nikotyny, potencjalnie potężne narzędzie do regulacji dostarczania nikotyny z elektronicznych papierosów: znaczenie strumienia nikotyny dla szybkości dostarczania nikotyny i subiektywnego efektu

Elektroniczne systemy dostarczania nikotyny (ENDS) podgrzewają i odparowują płyn zawierający nikotynę w celu wytworzenia aerozolu, który może dostarczać nikotynę do krwi i mózgu. Używanie ENDS gwałtownie wzrosło w ostatniej dekadzie, zwłaszcza wśród młodzieży: ponad 20% uczniów szkół średnich w USA jest obecnie użytkownikami ENDS i istnieją dowody na uzależnienie od nikotyny w tej populacji. Zaproponowano ustawodawstwo federalne, które ograniczyłoby stężenie nikotyny w płynie ENDS, aby uczynić ENDS „znacznie mniej uzależniającym i atrakcyjnym dla młodzieży”. Jednak te i inne wysiłki mające na celu ograniczenie uzależnienia poprzez ograniczenie stężenia nikotyny w płynie są mało prawdopodobne, ponieważ emisje nikotyny z ENDS zależą od wielu zmiennych. Aby osiągnąć zamierzone cele w zakresie zdrowia publicznego, przepisy dotyczące uzależnień muszą koncentrować się na dostarczaniu nikotyny, a nie na stężeniu nikotyny. Chociaż dostarczanie nikotyny nie może być regulowane bezpośrednio, szybkość, z jaką ENDS emituje nikotynę, „strumień nikotyny”, można regulować i, co ważne, przewidywać na podstawie kilku konstrukcji urządzenia i zmiennych operacyjnych. Jednak do tej pory nie ma dowodów empirycznych wykazujących związek między przepływem a dostarczaniem, ani między przepływem a subiektywnymi skutkami wspierającymi uzależnienie od nikotyny. Zamknięcie tej luki ma zasadnicze znaczenie dla zapewnienia skutecznych ram regulujących ENDS. Na Uniwersytecie Amerykańskim w Bejrucie badacze ocenią związek między przepływem nikotyny, jej formą i subiektywnymi efektami. Uczestnicy będą używać urządzeń ENDS o różnych strumieniach i formach nikotyny. Ocenione zostaną środki uzależnienia, takie jak chęć palenia, głód i abstynencja. Wynik wskaże stopień, w jakim strumień/forma nikotyny wpływa na subiektywne efekty związane z uzależnieniem, intensywnością zaciągania się i ekspozycją na substancje toksyczne. Podsumowując, projekt ten dostarczy empirycznych dowodów potrzebnych agencjom zdrowia publicznego do wykorzystania strumienia nikotyny jako wszechstronnej i wygodnej konstrukcji do regulowania dostarczania nikotyny z ENDS.

Przegląd badań

Szczegółowy opis

Oceń wpływ strumienia i postaci nikotyny na efekty subiektywne. W AUB badacze ocenią efekty subiektywne (np. lubienie produktu, głód nikotynowy) i topografia zaciągania się dla 130 uczestników, którzy przejdą 5 sesji używania ENDS składających się z 2 ataków (10 zaciągnięć + 60 min ad libitum) z 2 strumieniami (16 i 32 μg/s) x 2 formami (protonowana, wolna zasada) i warunek 0 nikotyny. Ponadto badacze wykorzystają najnowocześniejsze urządzenie do pobrania próbki in situ frakcji aerozolu wytwarzanego podczas każdego zaciągnięcia się, aby zweryfikować rzeczywisty przepływ i formę nikotyny oraz zmierzyć ekspozycję na toksyczne substancje płucne (karbonylki). Badacze postawili hipotezę, że zwiększenie przepływu nikotyny i protonowanej nikotyny spowoduje większe zmniejszenie głodu nikotynowego oraz mniejszą intensywność zaciągania się i ekspozycję na karbonyl.

Komparator placebo: Placebo - Kombinacja Piąta - 0μg/s strumienia nikotyny
Badacze przetestują subiektywne efekty strumienia nikotyny (0 μg/s) placebo. Po jednogodzinnym okresie obserwacji, uczestnicy użyją Subox Mini C w walce z 10 zaciągnięciami (30-sekundowa przerwa między zaciągnięciami). Godzinę po pierwszej walce uczestnicy zostaną poinstruowani, aby dmuchać na urządzeniu przez 60 minut ad libitum. Subiektywne pomiary (tj. uzależnienie od nikotyny, działanie leku, upodobanie do produktu i głód) będą podawane 5 razy na sesję: 5 min przed i 5 min po rozpoczęciu ukierunkowanego ataku oraz 5 min przed, w połowie i 5 min po rozpoczęciu walka ad libitum.

Mouth-level PM
Ramy czasowe: Will be measured after the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout and 60-minute, ad lib use bout
Mouth-level PM (Particulate matter) dose estimated using the REALTIME real-time in-situ sampling device, which collects 5% of the aerosol at the mouthpiece during each puff; values are reported as the total session dose (5% fraction × 20), in mg.
Will be measured after the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout and 60-minute, ad lib use bout
Mouth-level Nicotine
Ramy czasowe: Will be measured after the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout and 60-minute, ad lib use bout
Mouth-level nicotine dose estimated using the REALTIME real-time in-situ sampling device, which collects 5% of the aerosol at the mouthpiece during each puff; values are reported as the total session dose (5% fraction × 20), in mg.
Will be measured after the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout and 60-minute, ad lib use bout
Puff Duration - Combination 6,7 & 8
Ramy czasowe: 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.
Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
Sensory Feedback - Perceived Mouthful - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Ramy czasowe: 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.
Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
Sensory Feedback - Perceived Draw Effort - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Ramy czasowe: 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.
Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
Sensory Feedback - Throat Hit - Using Kangertech Subox Mini C (Sub-ohm Device)
Ramy czasowe: 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.
Will be measured during the approximately 5-minute, 10-puff use bout
