===2021: [https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article-abstract/24/6/855/6440299 Associations Between Nicotine Knowledge and Smoking Cessation Behaviors Among US Adults Who Smoke]=== | |||
*This study provides longitudinal evidence that among adult smokers, misperceiving nicotine as a primary cause of smoking-related diseases may be associated with reduced cessation success and lower likelihood of using less harmful nicotine products. These misperceptions may therefore impede efforts to encourage smokers ready to quit to use evidence-based cessation support such as nicotine replacement during quit attempts and limit the success of policies designed to shift smokers to less harmful sources of nicotine. | |||
