• Derived cannabinoid product availability among online vape shops. Preventive medicine reports Satybaldiyeva, N., Harati, R., Mejorado, T., Morales, N., Benitez, G., Ellis, S. E., Ferran, K., Leas, E. C. 2024; 48: 102910

  Abstract

  To determine the proportion of online vape shops that offer derived cannabinoid products in a large metropolitan area (San Diego, California), measure their compliance with state hemp regulations, and estimate whether these shops receive more website traffic compared to those that offered nicotine or tobacco.We obtained vape shops (n = 109) using browser-based (i.e., Google Search) and map-based (i.e., Google Maps and Yelp) searches in San Diego from March to August 2023 and conducted a content analysis of their websites to identify derived cannabinoid products offered for mail-order purchasing. Using website traffic data, we examined the association between derived cannabinoid product availability and monthly website visits.Among the 109 online vape shops in the study sample, 35.8 % offered derived cannabinoid products for mail-order purchase and 26.6 % sold flavored (excluding terpenes) and inhalable cannabinoid products. Compared to vape shops that did not offer derived cannabinoid products (Mean: 23,619; 95 % CI: 23,605-23,634), those offering flavored and inhalable cannabinoid products received 2.5 times more monthly website visits (Mean: 57,950; 95 % CI: 57,913-57,986) and those offering any derived cannabinoid products received 5.5 times more monthly website visits (Mean: 130,694; 95 % CI: 130,607-130,782).The prevalence of flavored and inhalable derived cannabinoid products, despite being prohibited under California's hemp regulations, highlights the need for additional enforcement measures to ensure retailer compliance. The higher website traffic observed among vape shops offering cannabinoid products may be indicative of greater popularity of retailers selling derived cannabinoid products compared to those selling nicotine or tobacco products alone.

• Switching people who smoke to unfiltered cigarettes: Effects on smoking topography ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS REPORTS Romero, D. R., Appolon, G., Novotny, T. E., Pulvers, K., Tracy, L., Satybaldiyeva, N., Magraner, J., Oren, E. 2024; 19: 100548

  Abstract

  Smoking topography (ST) describes smoking behavior and patterns. Removal of the cigarette filter and subsequent impact on ST has not been investigated. This is the first clinical trial comparing ST for filtered and unfiltered cigarettes in a naturalistic experiment.We conducted a crossover clinical trial following established people who smoke cigarettes (n = 32) for two weeks under filtered and unfiltered smoking experimental conditions. Participants (50 % female, mean age 38.3 yr.) smoked in each experimental condition followed by a 3-week post-washout period. ST (puff count, volume, duration, peak and average flow) was measured at six time-points. Statistical analysis included a linear repeated mixed-effects model of smoking experimental conditions by visit number and sex.Average flow (ml/sec) was significantly less for filtered smoking (-6.92 lower (95 % CI: -13.44 to -0.39), p < 0.05), thus demonstrating more resistance on inhalation. No significant differences were found between filtered or unfiltered experimental conditions for other ST variables. However, average volume and average peak flow were somewhat higher in unfiltered smoking, and lower mean puff counts/cigarette were observed for unfiltered compared to filtered smoking.Lower average flow rates were associated with filtered cigarette smoking. No significant differences were found for other ST variables between smoking experimental conditions. ST measurements comparing cigarette smoking conditions may determine if product regulatory changes, such as removing the cigarette filter could impact smoking behavioral patterns among people who smoke. This proof-of-principle study measuring ST may be replicated in larger trials to determine potential behavioral changes in smoking unfiltered cigarettes.
