Research has established that exposure to media and the perceived enforcement of policies can influence outcomes related (un)healthy behaviors. However, little is known about underlying processes may mediate relationship. The Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) model serves as an important framework for examining health cognition behavior change. It asserts knowledge underpins beliefs, attitudes drive motivation, practices reflect In realm e-cigarette cessation, this study investigates on perceptions policy enforcement, which in turn affects risk-benefit evaluations behavioral outcomes. Data were collected 2024 from online questionnaire survey (N = 724) conducted Guangdong China, with participants aged 18 30. We primarily employ methods such mediating effect testing regression analysis conduct our data analysis. findings suggest social exposure, risks benefits collectively youth vaping behaviors through various pathways. Specifically, results indicate a positive tobacco control policy. This perception, turn, positively both risk benefit perceptions, thereby either decreasing likelihood heightened or increasing it enhanced benefits. highlights impact content concerning e-cigarettes, noting ambiguous advertising education materials enhance Furthermore, we investigate information shared across platforms enforcement. Implications limitations are discussed.

Altered executive control network and default model network topology are linked to acute electronic cigarette use: A resting‐state fNIRS study

Addiction Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(7)

Abstract In recent years, electronic cigarettes (e‐cigs) have gained popularity as stylish, safe, and effective smoking cessation aids, leading to widespread consumer acceptance. Although previous research has explored the acute effects of combustible or nicotine replacement therapy on brain functional activities, studies e‐cigs been limited. Using fNIRS, we conducted graph theory analysis resting‐state connectivity 61 male abstinent smokers both before after vaping e‐cigs. And performed Pearson correlation investigate relationship between alterations in network metrics changes craving. E‐cig use resulted increased degree centrality, nodal efficiency, local efficiency within executive control (ECN), while causing a decrease these properties default model (DMN). These were found be correlated with reductions craving, indicating differing topologies ECN DMN decreased findings suggest that impact e‐cig usage observed resembles traditional other forms delivery, providing valuable insights into their addictive potential effectiveness aids for cessation.
