  1. Electronic Cigarettes and Smoking Cessation Sarah Boone, Carolyn Little, Clay Owens, Jeremy Randolph, Genny Tibbs

  2. Objectives • Analyze Smoking in Kentucky • List Methods of Smoking Cessation • Acute Effects of Electronic Cigarettes • Review the Evidence of Related Studies • Compare Use of Electronic Cigarettes and Nicotine Patches

  3. Smoking in KY http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/state_data/state_highlights/2010/states/kentucky/

  6. Smoking Cessation • 80% of smokers who attempt cessation relapse within in first month of quitting • 3-5% remain abstinent at 6 months (Polosa, BMC Public Health, 2011) • Common Methods: • Electronic cigarettes • Nicotine Patches • Oral Medication • “Cold Turkey”

  7. Electronic Cigarettes P: Smokers I: Electronic Cigarettes C: Nicotine Patches O: Smoking Cessation Westenberger, FDA, 2009

  8. Acute Effects of E-Cigarettes Vansickel, American Association for Cancer Research, 2010

  9. Acute Effects of E-Cigarettes • 32 tobacco cigarette smokers • Four products: • Own brand cigarette, “NPRO” electronic cigarettes, “Hydro” electronic cigarettes, or sham • Outcome Measures: • Heart rate, plasma nicotine content, Tiffany Drobes Questionnaire of Smoking Urges Brief Vansickel, American Association for Cancer Research, 2010

  10. Acute Effects of E-Cigarettes • Results: • Own brand increased plasma nicotine, CO concentration and heart rate • NPRO EC, Hydro EC, and sham smoking did not • Both EC exposed users to no nicotine or CO • Both EC didn’t increase heart rate • Both EC increased subjective ratings of acceptability Vansickel, American Association for Cancer Research, 2010

  11. Acute Effects of E-Cigarettes • Conclusion: • Neither electronic cigarettes exposed users to measurable levels of nicotine or CO • Both suppressed nicotine/tobacco abstinence symptom ratings Vansickel, American Association for Cancer Research, 2010

  12. Electronic Cigarettes & Smoking Cessation Polosa, BMC Public Health, 2011

  13. Electronic Cigarettes & Smoking Cessation • Methods: • 5 visits: baseline and four follow up visits at week 4, 8, 12, and 24 • Baseline Measurements: • Demographics and detailed smoking history • Level of carbon monoxide in exhaled breath (eCO) • 4 week supply of 7.4 mg nicotine cartridges given • Max use of 4 cartridges/day Polosa, BMC Public Health, 2011

  14. Electronic Cigarettes & Smoking Cessation Polosa, BMC Public Health, 2011

  15. Electronic Cigarettes & Smoking Cessation • Results: • 50% reduction shown in 13/40 subjects • Combined sustained 50% reduction and smoking abstinence in 22/40 (p≤0.001) • Conclusions: • Reduction in cigarette smoking with e-cigarettes may increase motivation to quit • Gradual reductions in cigarette smoking can increase cessation Polosa, BMC Public Health, 2011

  16. Case Series on Smoking Cessation Utilizing E-cigs Caponnetto, Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011

  17. Case Series on Smoking Cessation Utilizing E-cigs • Three chronic smokers (two male, one female) • Severe dependence to nicotine • Fagerstrom Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) • Exhaled Breath Carbon Monoxide Concentration (eCO) • Previous cessation efforts (patches & group counseling) Caponnetto, Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011.

  18. Case Series on Smoking Cessation Utilizing E-cigs • Results: • Cessation status following the usage of E-cigs • No relapse 6 months following study • Reduction in eCO • Variation in E-cig composition • Regulation? • Limitation – Small sample size Caponnetto, Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011.

  19. Comparison: Nicotine Patch Therapy Myung et al. 2007, Am J Health-Syst Pharm

  20. Comparison: Nicotine Patch Therapy • Study: • Meta-analysis of studies investigating efficacy of nicotine patches vs. placebo. • Purpose: • Assess current literature • Determine an odds ratio for smoking cessation Myung et al. 2007, Am J Health-Syst Pharm

  21. Comparison: Nicotine Patch Therapy • Methods: • 16 RCT’s • Total subjects: 9,457 • 6,084 nicotine group • 3,373 placebo group • Results of Meta-analysis: Pooled OR (odds ratio) for 16 studies was 1.79 http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2007/pr036-07.shtml Myung et al. 2007, Am J Health-Syst Pharm

  22. Electronic Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation Bullen, Nat Inst Health Innov, 2013

  23. Electronic Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation: A Randomized Controlled Trial • Purpose: • To assess whether E-cigarettes containing nicotine were more effective for smoking cessation than nicotine patches • Methods: • 657 subjects were selected for the study • Randomized by computerized block randomization • 4:4:1 ratio Bullen, Nat Inst Health Innov, 2013

  24. Electronic Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation: A Randomized Controlled Trial • Procedures: • Subjects used respective smoking cessation products for 12 weeks before a specific “quitting day” • The primary outcome measured was smoking abstinence six months after “quitting day” • Verified by self-report and carbon monoxide measurement Bullen, Nat Inst Health Innov, 2013

  25. Electronic Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation: A Randomized Controlled Trial • Results: • Abstinence rates after six months • Nicotine E-cigarette 7.3% • Nicotine Patches 5.8% • Placebo E-cigarette 4.1% • Study was underpowered due to low abstinence rates and could not conclude if E-cigarettes were superior to nicotine patches or placebo Bullen, Nat Inst Health Innov, 2013

  26. Summary Smoking Cessation Electronic Cigarettes Nicotine Patch Odds ratio for sustained abstinence after 1 year: 1.79 (compared to placebo) Lowest rates of abstinence after six months • Levels of nicotine or eCO were reduced • Suppressed nicotine/tobacco abstinence symptom ratings • Highest rates of abstinence after six months • Greater success rates with “rituals” of smoking
