Abstract
Introduction
IQOS, a heated tobacco product (HTP), is among a growing number of noncombustible nicotine delivery alternatives marketed to people who smoke combustible cigarettes and are interested in less harmful alternatives. Little is known regarding whether IQOS use and IQOS-associated effects impact motivation to quit cigarette smoking.
Methods
Non-treatment-seeking adult daily smokers (n = 87) completed a within-subjects study consisting of a baseline ad-lib smoking period (days 1–5), two laboratory visits (days 6–7) involving IQOS exposure, and a two-week period where participants were instructed to switch from smoking cigarettes to using IQOS (days 8–21). Motivation to quit smoking was measured on days 1 and 22.
Results
A generalized linear model revealed a significant increase in motivation to quit smoking across the 14-day switch phase with an increase of 1.47 ladder steps (Δ=1.47, sd = 1.98, t(86) = 6.92, p < 0.0001), increasing from 5.30 to 6.80. Candidate predictors were identified through a stepwise selection procedure, which resulted in a final model with two predictors, the standardized HeatStick substitution rate (b = 0.54, (CI95% 0.13–0.95), p = 0.01) and standardized relative risk perception score (b = 0.45, (CI95% 0.04–0.85) p = 0.03),
Conclusions
Among those uninterested in quitting cigarette smoking within the next month, IQOS use was associated with increased motivation to quit. Motivation to quit smoking may not be a necessary prerequisite for promoting smoking behavior change but rather bolstered by smoking behavior change in the context of HTP use. Greater perceptions of risk reduction may ultimately aid the transition from combustible to noncombustible tobacco products.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
