*The exact role and effects of treatment may not be the only aspect of medication use that smokers are misinformed about: a number of studies have reported that a large proportions of smokers have concerns about the safety and efficacy of NRT products, believing either that these products do not promote cessation, that they are dangerous/ harmful to use, or that the mechanism of action of nicotine replacement products is to make a user sick if they lapse during treatment. Important for the purposes of this discussion, smokers who hold these misperceptions are less likely to have used NRT in the past, and less likely to say that they intend to use it as part of future quit attempts, suggesting that beliefs about NRTs’ safety and efficacy may impact on treatment use. | |||

*These findings are concerning since misperceptions about nicotine may result in underutilisation of NRT. Therefore, we aimed to assess these views in New Zealand (NZ) smokers, with the context being a country in which NRT is provided in a heavily subsidised form and widely distributed via the national quitline service. | |||
*When asked if ‘the nicotine in cigarettes is the chemical that causes most of the cancer?’, most smokers in wave 1 (52.6%) said that it was true, 36.7% said it was false (the correct answer) and 10.7% could not say. The proportion answering ‘true’ was fairly similar in wave 2 at 52.1%. In a multivariate model (that adjusted for demographics, socioeconomic position, mental health and smoking-related beliefs and behaviours), certain groups of smokers were significantly more likely to believe that nicotine was carcinogenic. These included older smokers (≥50 vs <35 years); Māori smokers (vs European/other, adjusted OR (aOR)=1.77, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.58); and Asian smokers (vs European/other, aOR=3.25, 95% CI 1.35 to 7.83). | |||

*Four in ten smokers incorrectly believe vaping is as or more harmful than smoking up from a third last year and one in five in 2019. | |||
*A third of smokers understand that vaping is less harmful than smoking, but fewer than one in ten that they are a lot less harmful | |||
*Ex-smokers who vape (2.9 million) have the most accurate perceptions of harm, with 75% correctly identifying that vaping is less harmful than smoking. | |||
*From 2016 to 2019 the proportion of adults who inaccurately believed that vaping is as, or more harmful than smoking hovered around one in four, with between 43% and 50% believing it was less harmful. (Figure 8) However, in 2020 the proportion believing it was more or equally harmful rose significantly to 37% with the proportion believing it to be less harmful falling to 39%. | |||
*The likely driver for this change in public perception was significant media coverage of injuries to health in the US from products banned in the UK. This years significant drop in public understanding that vaping is less harmful than smoking could be linked to widespread media coverage of youth vaping which has not always clearly distinguished the differences between the harms from smoking and vaping. | |||
*In 2023 a third (34%) of smokers said that they did not know how harmful NRT is compared to smoking, 11% thought it was more than or equally as harmful as smoking, and only 29% correctly identified NRT as being a lot less harmful than smoking. | |||

*The increase in e-cigarette risk perceptions might discourage adult smokers from using e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking, despite evidence from a clinical trial that ecigarettes are a more effective cessation method than FDA-approved products such as the nicotine patch. | |||
*Our econometric results suggest that the immediate impact of the first information shock was to increase the fraction of respondents who perceived e-cigarettes as more harmful than smoking by about 16 percentage points. More targeted advice about the risks of THC e-cigarettes (vs nicotine products) might have more effectively reduced the use of those products, potentially preventing EVALI cases. | |||

*The data reveal that most smokers are misinformed about the health risks of nicotine and the safety/efficacy of nicotine medications. Approximately half incorrectly reported that the reduction in nicotine in cigarettes has made cigarettes less dangerous to health and only one-third correctly reported that nicotine patches were less likely to cause a heart attack than smoking cigarettes. Smokers who were more knowledgeable about the health risks of nicotine and the safety and efficacy of nicotine medications were more likely to report past use of nicotine medications. Misperceptions about the health risks of nicotine and the safety/efficacy of nicotine medications may discourage some smokers from considering the use of these medications to help them stop smoking. | |||

*The paper calibrates and tests this equipment, showing the potential problems of exposing these biological systems when the aerosol is generated by a high powered device with sub-ohm coils and an inapprotriately low airflow. This grossly deviates from consumer usage of these divices and is also the perfect storm for generating aerosols under overheating conditions and high toxin’s load. | |||
*Many cell/rodent studies report deleterious biological effects from the exposure to e-cigarette aerosol, thus contributing to the vaping harm narrative, but often the aerosols are unrealistic, overheated and toxic. A second paper is forecoming in which we will revise 19 studies with this problem, there are bound to be much more. | |||
