6 SMOKING in PSYCHIATRY: ADULTS in SAN FRANCISCO, CA Acton, Prochaska, Kaplan, Small & Hall. (2001) Addict Behav Benowitz, Schultz, Haller, et al. (2010) Am J Epi Prochaska, Gill, & Hall. (2004) Psychiatric Services Cigarettes/day M(SD) 21 (15) 17 (12) 15

7 MAJOR TARGET MARKET  Estimates that 44% to 46% of cigarettes consumed in US by smokers with psychiatric or addictive disorders (Lasser, 2000; Grant, 2002)  175 billion cigarettes and $39 billion in annual tobacco sales (USDA, 2004)

8 Project SCUM 1995-1997  RJ Reynolds’ SubCulture Urban Marketing Campaign for  Gay people in the Castro and “street people” in the Tenderloin  Noted the high incidence of smoking and drugs in these subcultures  Plan was to introduce Camel cigarettes into less traditional retail outlets, like "head shops”  Eventually changed the campaign to Project Sourdough

9 WHAT ABOUT E-CIGARETTES? (vape pens, e-hookahs, hookah pens)  Cigarette-shaped device consisting of a battery and a cartridge containing an atomizer to heat a solution, often with nicotine By January 2014 there were 466 brands (each with its own website) and 7764 unique flavors (Zhu, 2014)

10  Use rising rapidly: 1% (2009) to 6% (2011) of US adults  Majority of EC users current or former smokers  Dual use is common  Attraction of EC:  Use in settings with smoking bans  Perceptions may aid cessation  Perceived healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes  Projections: EC will eclipse conventional cigarettes in 10 yrs E-CIGARETTES Pepper & Brewer (2013); Herzog et al. (2013)

11 RCT of EC for CESSATION  RCT: 16 mg nicotine EC, non-nicotine EC, 21 mg patch  657 smokers interested in quitting  13% using antidepressants or anxiolytics  Verified 6-mo prolonged abstinence:  7% nicotine EC, 6% patch, 4% placebo EC  Minimal counseling; only a third attended a session  Adherence greater for EC (78%) than patches (46%)  EC users liked their tactile, cigarette-like qualities, sensory familiarity, taste, perceived health benefits, ease of use, and absence of cigarette odor Bullen et al. (2013) Lancet

12 E-CIGS & SCHIZOPHRENIA  1 study of EC in smokers with SMI, uncontrolled study  14 smokers w/ schizophrenia not intending to quit  Wk 52:  50% (7/14) reduced cigarettes/day by > 50%  14% (2/14) were smoke-free  1 to 2 cartridges/day used throughout the study  Schizophrenia symptoms did not increase with smoking reduction/cessation Caponnetto et al. 2013 Enviro Res Public Health

15 “Giving psychiatric patients access to e-cigarettes, particularly on closed wards, is definitely something to consider."

16  N=10,041  US population survey in Feb 2012 E-CIGs & MENTAL HEALTH Cummins et al. (2014) Tobacco Control Tried EC Current EC Future EC

17  N=956, 50% men  Mean age = 39 (SD=14)  21% employed  Race/ethnicity:  15% were Hispanic  57% Caucasian  24% African American  5% Asian/Pacific Islander  14% multiracial/other STAR STUDY 2009 - ongoing

18  Mean = 17 (SD=10) cigarettes per day  Mean = 19 (SD=14) years  78.5% smoked within 30 minutes of waking  Stage of change for quitting smoking: TOBACCO USE PC = Precontemplation C = Contemplation P = Preparation

19 3-6 months of nicotine patch plus gum/lozenge

21 E-CIG USE: SMOKERS with SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (N=956) Growth in Reported E-cig Use by Year of Study Enrollment Prochaska & Grana (in press) PLOS ONE

22  Later year of enrollment: OR=29.2 (95% CI 10.5 - 80.7)  Younger age (18-25): OR =2.6 (1.2 - 5.7)  nonHispanic vs. Hispanic: OR=4.0 (1.8 - 8.9)  Preparation vs. precontemplation: OR=2.7 (1.4 - 5.2) PREDICTORS of E-CIG USE NS: gender, race, employment status, hospital site, study condition, psychiatric or substance use diagnosis, mental health severity, time to 1 st AM cig, cigs/day Prochaska & Grana (in press) PLOS ONE

23  Abstinence at latest FU available:  21% for EC users and 19% for non-EC users, p=.726  Among continued smokers:  >50% reduction in cigarettes/day (cpd)  EC (51%) vs. non-EC users (51%), p=.978  Median reduction in cpd: 7.1 (EC) vs. 6.6 (non-EC), p=.730  CPD at latest FU: 10.0 (EC) vs. 10.1 (non-EC), p=.915  All smoking outcomes NS by EC use in adjusted models E-CIG USE and SMOKING (N=956) Prochaska & Grana (in press) PLOS ONE

24  Smokers with SMI increasingly tried EC, particularly young adults (age 18-25) and non-Hispanics  Smokers preparing to quit had >2-fold greater likelihood of EC use  EC use during the prospective trial was unrelated to abstinence status nor, among those who did not quit, reduction in smoking  A few participants reported encouragement to use EC by their clinicians DISCUSSION

25  Limited to 3 hospitals in the SF Bay Area  EC use was not directly assessed  likely under-detected use  Did not assess duration or continued EC use STUDY LIMITATIONS Findings underscore the need for inclusion of smokers with mental health concerns in studies of e-cigarette use for smoking cessation and harm reduction.
