Abstract
Background/Objectives: Smoking cessation is acknowledged for its health benefits. However, it paradoxically increases diabetes mellitus (DM) risk shortly after quitting due to weight gain. This research aimed to investigate how smoking status could affect the development of DM, focusing on how the risk of acquiring diabetes changed over time after quitting smoking, independent of variables such as weight gain. Methods: The data of 386,558 participants of the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study, excluding those with pre-existing DM, were examined. Smoking status and its long-term effects on DM risk were assessed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Lifestyle factors, including weight change, physical activity levels, and alcohol intake, were adjusted as time-varying covariates throughout the follow-up period. Results: Modified hazard ratios (HRs) indicated no notable disparity in DM risk between individuals who previously smoked and those who had never smoked (HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.999-1.08, p-value < 0.001). In contrast, current smokers exhibited a significantly increased DM risk (HR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.24-1.35, p-value < 0.001). Within the first six years post-cessation, former smokers initially faced a higher DM risk than never smokers (0-2 years, HR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.15-1.31, p-value < 0.001; 3-5 years, HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.04-1.20, p-value < 0.001). After 12 years, they realigned with never smokers (12-46 years, HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.98, p-value = 0.002). Current smokers consistently showed a higher DM risk (0-9 years, HR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.14-1.46, p-value < 0.001). Adjusting for covariates such as weight change and physical activity did not alter these findings. Conclusions: Our results indicated that former smokers initially experienced an elevated risk of DM relative to never smokers. This increased risk aligned with the risk of never smokers after six years, and the risk continued to improve after 12 years compared to never smokers. This contrasted with current smokers, who maintained a heightened risk of DM, even when adjustments were made for weight change, physical activity, and alcohol intake as time-varying covariates.

Abstract
Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is increasing in Europe and the USA. While mounting evidence exists regarding an array of associated adverse health effects, to date limited evidence exists regarding the health effects of e-cigarette use on cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). The present review summarizes the effects of e-cigarette use on CV health. A search strategy of in vivo experimental, observational studies (including population-based cohort studies), and interventional studies was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science (April 1, 2009-April 1, 2022). The main findings revealed that the influence of e-cigarette on health are attributed mainly to the individual and interactive effects of flavors and additives used in e-cigarette fluids, along with the extended heating. The above collectively stimulate prolonged sympathoexcitatory CV autonomic effects, such as increased heart rate and diastolic blood pressure (BP), as well as decreased oxygen saturation. Hence, e-cigarette users are at increased risk of developing atherosclerosis, hypertension, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Such risks are anticipated to increase, especially among the young who are increasingly adopting e-cigarette use particularly with flavored additives. Further investigations are urgently needed to evaluate the long-term effects of e-cigarette use, particularly among susceptible population groups such as youth.

Metabolic and Other Endocrine Elements with Regard to Lifestyle Choices: Focus on E-Cigarettes. Metabolites 2023; 13:1192. [PMID: 38132874 PMCID: PMC10745117 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13121192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Our objective was to overview recent data on metabolic/endocrine disorders with respect to e-cigarette (e-cig) use. This is a narrative review; we researched English, full-length, original articles on PubMed (between January 2020 and August 2023) by using different keywords in the area of metabolic/endocrine issues. We only included original clinical studies (n = 22) and excluded case reports and experimental studies. 3 studies (N1 = 22,385; N2 = 600,046; N3 = 5101) addressed prediabetes risk; N1 showed a 1.57-fold increased risk of dual vs. never smokers, a higher risk that was not confirmed in N2 (based on self-reported assessments). Current non-smokers (N1) who were dual smokers still have an increased odd of prediabetes (a 1.27-fold risk increase). N3 and another 2 studies addressed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM): a lower prevalence of DM among dual users (3.3%) vs. cigarette smoking (5.9%) was identified. 6 studies investigated obesity profile (4 of them found positive correlations with e-cig use). One study (N4 = 373,781) showed that e-cig use was associated with obesity in the general population (OR = 1.6, 95%CI: 1.3-2.1, p < 0.05); another (N5 = 7505, 0.82% were e-cig-only) showed that obesity had a higher prevalence in dual smokers (51%) vs. cig-only (41.2%, p < 0.05), while another (N6 = 3055) found that female (not male) e-cig smokers had higher body mass index vs. non-smokers. Data on metabolic syndrome (MS) are provided for dual smokers (n = 2): one case-control study found that female dual smokers had higher odds of MS than non-smokers. The need for awareness with respect to potential e-cig--associated medical issues should be part of modern medicine, including daily anamnesis. Whether the metabolic/endocrine frame is part of the general picture is yet to be determined. Surveillance protocols should help clinicians to easily access the medical background of one subject, including this specific matter of e-cig with/without conventional cigarettes smoking and other habits/lifestyle elements, especially when taking into consideration metabolism anomalies.

Lee SH, Kim SH. Association of dual use of cigarettes with obstructive sleep apnea assessed by the STOP-Bang score. Tob Induc Dis 2023; 21:114. [PMID: 37712077 PMCID: PMC10498501 DOI: 10.18332/tid/169727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although previous studies have addressed the association between smoking and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there are few studies on the association between electronic cigarette use and OSA. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between the dual use of electronic and conventional cigarettes and OSA. METHODS Data from 7350 participants of the 2019-2021 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed in this population-based study. The STOP-Bang score was calculated using eight items: snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, high blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and sex. The main independent variable was smoking behavior. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. Subgroup analysis was conducted to analyze the association between smoking behavior in detail and OSA, and stratified analyses were additionally performed. RESULTS Of the 7350 participants, 417 (5.7%) had a high risk of OSA, according to the STOP-Bang score. Compared to the non-smoker group, the dual user group had a 2.46-fold increase in the odds of OSA (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.04-5.79). Current non-smokers who were dual users in the past had increased odds of having OSA (AOR=3.61; 95% CI: 1.32-9.92). In the stratified analyses, dual cigarette use was significantly associated with OSA in females and those with a low physical activity level. CONCLUSIONS Dual users and cigarette-only users had an increased probability of developing OSA. Even if they are not currently smoking or vaping, individuals who were dual users in the past were associated with a higher risk of OSA. The association between dual cigarette use and OSA was more pronounced in females and those with a low physical activity level. While intervening for obstructive sleep apnea or investigating risk factors, new smoking methods such as vaping and dual use should be considered along with conventional smoking.

Abstract
Smoking and second-hand smoke strongly increase incidence of diabetes and probability for its complications. Smoking cessation can lead to weight gain and increased diabetes risk; however, it decreases cardiovascular and total mortality. A basal diagnostics (Fagerström Test, exhaled CO) is the basis for successful smoking cessation. Supporting medication include Varenicline, Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Bupropion. Socio-economic as well as psychological factors play an important role for smoking and smoking cessation. Heated tobacco products (like the E‑cigarette) are no healthy alternative to cigarettes and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.Moderate consumption of alcohol possibly decreases risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Selection bias and underreporting in studies maybe contribute to a too optimistic view. On the other hand, alcohol increases in a dose dependant fashion excess morbidity and disability adjusted life years, especially by cancer, liver diseases and infections.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized as sustained damage to the renal parenchyma, leading to impaired renal functions and gradually progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetes mellitus (DM) and arterial hypertension (AH) are underlying diseases of CKD. Genetic background, lifestyle, and xenobiotic exposures can favor CKD onset and trigger its underlying diseases. Cigarette smoking (CS) is a known modified risk factor for CKD. Compounds from tobacco combustion act through multi-mediated mechanisms that impair renal function. Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) consumption, such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco devices, is growing worldwide. ENDS release mainly nicotine, humectants, and flavorings, which generate several byproducts when heated, including volatile organic compounds and ultrafine particles. The toxicity assessment of these products is emerging in human and experimental studies, but data are yet incipient to achieve truthful conclusions about their safety. To build up the knowledge about the effect of currently employed ENDS on the pathogenesis of CKD, cellular and molecular mechanisms of ENDS xenobiotic on DM, AH, and kidney functions were reviewed. Unraveling the toxic mechanisms of action and endpoints of ENDS exposures will contribute to the risk assessment and implementation of proper health and regulatory interventions.
