Since previous studies have excluded CVD patients, there are few existing data examining CYT safety in this critical population. An observational prospective study was conducted in the Verona University Hospital (AOUI), Italy, to assess the safety and efficacy of CYT for smoking cessation. Thirty-six hospitalised participants from the Cardiology Department received oral CYT 1.5 mg for 25 days, according to the West Dosing Schedule (6 capsules for the first 3 days, gradually decreased up to 2 capsules on the last 6 days), in combination with supportive care. The primary endpoint was CYT safety, with 11 mild-moderate Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reported by 9 (25%) participants. Initial insomnia (11%), nausea (6%), sleep disorders (6%), headache (3%), gastritis (3%), and diarrhoea (3%) were the most frequent symptoms.

We conducted an observational study comparing changes before and after the Internal medicine-Neurosurgical Comanagement (INC) intervention. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of patients enrolled before the INC intervention and a prospective evaluation of those enrolled after the INC intervention was implemented. We defined the pre-INC intervention group as 380 patients admitted to the ND for neurosurgical disease between January 2022 and April 2022 and the post-INC intervention group as 367 patients admitted to the ND between January 2023 and April 2023.

This cross-sectional study examined differences in self-rated general health between exclusive e-cigarette users and exclusive cigarette smokers, using data from the 2017-2019 Scottish Health Survey. A total of 2484 adults (aged 16 and above) were included and categorized as exclusive e-cigarette users (n = 565) or exclusive cigarette smokers (n = 1919). Self-rated health was assessed using a single-item measure with five response categories: \"very bad,\" \"bad,\" \"fair,\" \"good,\" and \"very good\". Generalized ordinal logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between nicotine product use and self-rated health, adjusting for age, sex, Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, marital status, ethnicity, alcohol consumption frequency, physical activity, presence of longstanding physical or mental health conditions, and age of smoking initiation. In the fully adjusted model, exclusive e-cigarette users had higher odds of reporting better self-rated health compared to exclusive cigarette smokers overall (OR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.05-1.51, p = 0.012). A graded relationship was also observed in the fully adjusted model, with progressively lower odds of reporting better self-rated health as smoking intensity increased, using exclusive e-cigarette users as the reference group. Heavy smokers (≥ 20 cigarettes/day) had the lowest odds of reporting better self-rated health (OR = 0.63, 95% CI 0.49-0.80, p < 0.001), followed by moderate smokers (10 to < 20 cigarettes/day) (OR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.66-0.99, p = 0.047). In contrast, light smokers (< 10 cigarettes/day) showed no significant difference in self-rated health compared to exclusive e-cigarette users (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.75-1.18, p = 0.614). These findings indicate that exclusive e-cigarette use is associated with better self-rated health compared to exclusive cigarette smoking, particularly among moderate and heavy smokers. Additional analyses revealed no significant differences in self-rated health among exclusive e-cigarette users based on prior smoking history (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.43-2.08, p = 0.882) or among exclusive cigarette smokers based on prior e-cigarette use (OR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.69-1.09, p = 0.219). These findings suggest that prior use is unlikely to explain the observed association between exclusive e-cigarette use and better self-rated health compared to exclusive cigarette smoking. Given the subjective nature of self-rated health, these findings should be interpreted with caution.
