The new trial by Rigotti et al shows that 12 weeks of cytisinicline has superior smoking cessation outcomes than 6w of cytisinicline treatment or 12 weeks of placebo, with abstinence rates during weeks 9-12 of 32.6%, 22.3%, and 7%, respectively. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

It is unfortunate that there has never been an “Operation Warp Speed” to prevent the more than 480 000 deaths each year caused by smoking. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

We hope that this decisive action by New Zealand might inspire countries like the US to tackle addiction to cigarettes with the vigor and speed that its effects on public health deserve. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

The unvaccinated were less likely to consume news about #COVID19 and to believe government sources as reliable information for COVID19. The vaccine hesitant were concerned about lack of vaccine research, distrust of its safety, and fear of side effects. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34987300/

"We found that unvaccinated smokers were less likely to seek COVID-19 information, and particularly not from government sources, so vaccination messaging from CDC or FDA may not be as effective." @JessicaMYingst @DrSophiaIAllen @dsouza_gail @PSU_ABL journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
