Trends in Smoking and e-Cigarette Use Among US Patients With Cancer, 2014-2017
Cet article présente l'évolution, sur la période 2014-2017, des pratiques tabagiques et de l’utilisation de la cigarette électronique chez les patients atteints d'un cancer aux Etats-Unis
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become increasingly popular in the United States and are advertised as a potentially safe and useful method of smoking cessation, despite unknown long-term health sequelae. Individuals with cancer are particularly sensitive to the harms of active smoking, thus smoking cessation is a critical component of cancer survivorship. However, the patterns and implications of e-cigarette use in patients with cancer are not well known. Therefore, we examined contemporary trends of conventional smoking and e-cigarette use among patients with cancer.
