Abstract

Introduction To examine the associations between baseline receipt of cigarette and non-cigarette tobacco discounts or coupons and smoking cessation at follow-up among US adult cigarette smokers with the intention to quit at baseline. Aims and Methods Data were from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study wave 3 (October 2015–October 2016), wave 4 (December 2016–January 2018), and wave 5 (December 2018–November 2019) surveys. Two separate sets of analyses were conducted using wave 3–4 data (N = 3707) and wave 4–5 data (N = 6251). Specifically, wave 4 was used as the 1-year follow-up of wave 3 to examine the short-term association, and wave 5 was used as the 2-year follow-up of wave 4 to examine the longer-term association. Study population were current established cigarette smokers with the intention to quit (within 1 year for wave 3–4 data) at baseline. Exposure was self-reported past 12-month receipt of discounts or coupons for cigarettes and non-cigarette tobacco products at baseline, and outcome was self-reported completely quitting cigarette smoking at follow-up. Baseline single-wave weights were applied, and multivariate logistic regressions were used to estimate the adjusted associations. Results Participants who received cigarette discounts or coupons at baseline were less likely to quit completely for both 1-year follow-up (aOR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.48 to 0.90) and 2-year follow-up (aOR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.61 to 0.90). Baseline receipt of discounts or coupons for non-cigarette tobacco products were not consistently associated with cigarette smoking cessation at follow-up. Conclusions Receipt of cigarette discounts or coupons was associated with a reduced likelihood of successful quitting among cigarette smokers with intention to quit. Policies restricting cigarette coupons may help them quit completely. Implications This study found that among baseline current established cigarette smokers with intention to quit in the United States, baseline receipt of cigarette discounts or coupons was negatively associated with cigarette smoking cessation for both 1-year follow-up and 2-year follow-up. Baseline receipt of discounts or coupons for e-cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products were not consistently significantly associated with cigarette smoking cessation at follow-up. Our study results indicated that policies restricting cigarette coupons may help increase the likelihood of successful smoking cessation for smokers with intention to quit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

78. Large-area epitaxial growth of 2D ZrS2(1−x)Se2xsemiconductor alloys with fully tunable compositions and bandgaps for optoelectronics

Author

Huang, Jidong, Tian, Yan, Cheng, Yong, Li, Xingxing, Zhang, Siyu, Jiang, Ji, Chen, Jingren, Wang, Gaokai, Li, Jingzhen, Yin, Zhigang, and Zhang, Xingwang

Abstract

Bandgap engineering of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is significant for broadening their applications in electronics and optoelectronics devices. Herein, we report the new epitaxial growth of large-area uniform ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2x} alloy films with fully tunable composition on sapphire substrates {itvia} a facile single-step chemical vapor deposition method. The ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2{itx}} alloys exhibit good single crystallinity and epitaxial quality, as well as uniform elemental distribution, and the epitaxial relationship with the substrate is determined to be ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2{itx}} (0001)[10–10]∥sapphire (0001)[11–20]. The bandgap of ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2{itx}} alloy exhibits a pronounced bowing behavior with continuously tunable bandgaps from 1.86 to 1.15 eV, depending on the Se composition. The ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2{itx}}-based photodetectors demonstrate a sensitive photoresponse to visible light with a fast response time of ∼100 µs, and their performances are significantly improved as the Se composition decreases. This work provides an efficient way to synthesize ZrS{in2(1−{itx})}Se{in2{itx}} alloys with fully tunable bandgaps, providing great flexibility in designing TMD-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract

ObjectivesPhilip Morris has a history of aggressive marketing tactics in its global pursuit of IQOS sales, which extant literature suggests may appeal to non-smokers and young adults. This study was the first to examine point-of-sale (POS) marketing and pricing of IQOS after it entered the US market in October 2019.MethodsTrained field staff assessed 75 retail partner stores selling IQOS/HeatSticks in the Atlanta area in February–November 2020 using an IQOS-tailored, standardised assessment tool. The tool assessed store characteristics, product availability and accessibility, marketing and promotions and pricing for each store.ResultsAll stores assessed sold HeatSticks in at least one of the three flavours (tobacco, smooth menthol, fresh menthol), but did not sell the IQOS device. IQOS/HeatSticks marketing was present inside 98.5% and outside 17.3% of stores assessed. Marketing for other tobacco products was present inside 98.5% and outside 32% of stores. The average price per HeatSticks pack was US$6.40 compared with US$6.08 for Marlboro Red cigarettes.ConclusionOur study revealed a considerable amount of POS marketing and promotion for IQOS/HeatSticks at retail partner locations, visible to all retail consumers, including youth and non-smokers. This study was the first to examine IQOS POS marketing and promotion in the US context and findings add to the extant literature on IQOS global marketing strategies. As additional novel tobacco/nicotine products continue to enter the market, targeted monitoring of the POS marketing and promotion for these new products is warranted.

Abstract

Recently, group-IVB semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of ZrS2 have attracted significant research interest due to its layered nature, moderate band gap, and extraordinary physical properties. Most device applications require a deposition of high quality large-area uniform ZrS2 single crystalline films, which has not yet been achieved. In this work, for the first time, we demonstrate the epitaxial growth of high quality large-area uniform ZrS2 films on c-plane sapphire substrates by chemical vapor deposition. An atomically sharp interface is observed due to the supercell matching between ZrS2 and sapphire, and their epitaxial relationship is found to be ZrS2 (0001)[101̄0]∥Al2O3 (0001)[112̄0]. The epitaxial ZrS2 film exhibits n-type semiconductor behavior with a room temperature mobility of 2.4 cm2·V−1·s−1, and the optical phonon is the dominant scattering mechanism at room temperature or above. Furthermore, the optoelectronic applications of ZrS2 films are demonstrated by fabricating photodetector devices. The ZrS2 photodetectors exhibit the excellent comprehensive performance, such as a light on/off ratio of 106 and a specific detectivity of 2.6 × 1012 Jones, which are the highest values compared with the photodetectors based on other group-IVB two-dimensional TMDs.

Abstract

AIMS: We estimate associations between e-cigarette prices (both disposable and refill) and e-cigarette use among middle and high school students in the United States. We also estimate associations between cigarette prices and e-cigarette use. DESIGN: We use regression models to estimate the associations between e-cigarette and cigarette prices and e-cigarette use. In our regression models, we exploit changes in e-cigarette and cigarette prices across four periods of time and across 50 markets. We report the associations as price elasticities. In our primary model, we control for socio-demographic characteristics, cigarette prices, tobacco control policies, market fixed effects, and year-quarter fixed effects. SETTING: United States of America. PARTICIPANTS: 24,370 middle and high school students participating in the Monitoring the Future Survey in years 2014 and 2015. MEASUREMENTS: Self-reported e-cigarette use over the last 30 days. Average quarterly cigarette prices, e-cigarette disposable prices, and e-cigarette refill prices were constructed from Nielsen retail data (inclusive of excise taxes) for 50 U.S. markets. FINDINGS: In a model with market fixed effects, we estimate that a 10% increase in e-cigarette disposable prices is associated with a reduction in the number of days vaping among e-cigarette users by approximately 9.7% (95% CI = −17.7% to 1.8%; p=0.02) and is associated with a reduction in the number of days vaping by the full sample by approximately 17.9% (95% CI=−31.5% to −4.2%; p=0.01). Refill e-cigarette prices were not statistically significant predictors of vaping. Cigarette prices were not significantly associated with e-cigarette use regardless of the e-cigarette price used. However, in a model without market fixed effects, cigarette prices were a statistically significant positive predictor of total e-cigarette use. CONCLUSIONS: Higher e-cigarette disposable prices appear to be associated with reduced e-cigarette use among adolescents in the US.
