We aimed to create a basic set of definitions and relationships for identity‐related constructs, as part of the Addiction Ontology and E‐Cigarette Ontology projects, that could be used by researchers with diverse theoretical positions and so facilitate evidence synthesis and interoperability.
Methods
We reviewed the use of identity‐related constructs in psychological and social...
Background and aims
Ontologies are ways of representing information that improve clarity and the ability to connect different data sources. This paper proposes an initial version of an ontology of tobacco, nicotine and vaping products with the aim of reducing ambiguity and confusion in the field.
Methods
Terms related to tobacco, nicotine and vaping products were identified in the research literature...
Background and aims
Smoking is extremely common among adults experiencing homelessness, but there is lack of evidence for treatment efficacy. E‐cigarettes are an effective quitting aid, but they have not been widely tested in smokers with complex health and social needs. Here we build upon our cluster feasibility trial and evaluate the offer of an e‐cigarette or usual care to smokers accessing a...
Background and Aims
There is concern that young people may be attracted to e‐liquid flavours, prompting long‐term vaping in naive users and potentially subsequent tobacco smoking. We aimed to review the use of e‐liquid flavours by young people and describe associations with uptake or cessation of both regular vaping and tobacco smoking, adverse effects and subjective experiences.

E‐cigarettes are the most popular consumer choice for support with smoking cessation in the United Kingdom. However, there are concerns that long‐term e‐cigarette use may sustain concurrent tobacco smoking or lead to relapse to smoking in ex‐smokers. We aimed to explore vaping trajectories, establishing e‐cigarette users' perspectives on continued e‐cigarette use in relation to...
AimsMost people who quit smoking for a short term will return to smoking again in 12 months. We tested whether self‐help booklets can reduce relapse in short‐term quitters after receiving behavioural and pharmacological cessation treatment.
DesignA parallel‐arm, pragmatic individually randomized controlled trial.
SettingSmoking cessation clinics in England. Participants People who stopped smoking...
Background and aims
Many women quit smoking during pregnancy, but relapse after the baby is born. To understand why and identify ways of preventing this, this study reviewed the qualitative literature on women's experience of postpartum smoking relapse.
Methods
A systematic review of qualitative studies and process evaluations of trials. We undertook a thematic synthesis of published qualitative...
AimSupervised consumption of opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) is standard in many drug centres reducing drug diversion, but is costly. We aimed to determine whether supervised consumption of OMT improved retention and other measures of drug use.
DesignPragmatic randomized controlled trial comparing 3 months of daily supervised consumption of OMT with 1 month or less of daily supervised OMT, then...
