Research Shows Low-Nicotine Cigarettes Help Smokers Cut Back
BOSTON (CBS) – New research shows low-nicotine cigarettes may help people light up less.
For years, tobacco companies marketed so called light cigarettes making smokers believe they were healthier though they really weren’t.
Now we’re talking about cigarettes with lower levels of nicotine, the compound that is responsible for tobacco addiction. And researchers wanted to know, what would smokers do if they smoked cigarettes with lower nicotine? Would they smoke more cigarettes to compensate? The answer is no.
The study published in today’s New England Journal of Medicine looked at 800 smokers and had...

Predictors of Revision Surgery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Conclusion:
In this large cohort study, the rate of revision ACL reconstruction was 3.6%, which is consistent with the existing literature. Increased odds of revision surgery among active-duty personnel were associated with the perioperative use of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. Age ≥35 years and concomitant meniscal repair were found to be protective against ACL revision.

Addressing Adolescent Oral Health: A Review
Oral health is one of the most unmet health care needs of adolescents. Oral disease can have a profound effect on overall health, including pain, missed school, heart disease, and even death. Adolescents have specific needs pertaining to oral health in addition to the usual lifelong issues of caries management, sports injury prevention, and dental referrals. Teen years are a higher risk time for oral piercings, increased sugar intake, nicotine initiation, and orthodontic considerations. Adolescents need a unique approach to motivate them about their oral health issues. This is particularly important because lifelong health...

Evaluation of the effect of policy change on physical contacts in youth ice hockey using video analysis
Conclusions
Bantam ice hockey players in a league where policy disallowed body checking are at a lower risk of high intensity physical contacts, but commit higher rates of hooking and slashing behaviours. This research informs the mechanisms explaining injury risk reduction related to body checking policy change and have important national public health implications for policy decisions related to rule enforcement in youth sport.

Does concussion history and post-injury sleep quantity influence neurocognitive scores following concussion in collegiate athletes?
Conclusions
Athletes with a concussion history may be quicker to respond to neurocognitive tasks, but commit greater number of errors. Post-concussion sleep quantity changes do not influence neurocognitive performance one day post-injury. Future research should consider effects of concussion history on RT and impulse assessments.

Vaping Is Addictive And Can Lead Teens To Smoke, Study Finds
CBS Local — A newly released report, compiled by health experts from around the country, has found that e-cigarettes can have a much more negative impact on teens than previous believed. The study claims that teens not only become addicted to vaping but are more likely to pick up smoking because of it.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine released their findings on Jan. 23, citing evidence that e-cigarettes were safer than traditional smoking products, but refused to declare vaping devices completely safe. “When it got down to answering the questions about what the impacts on health are,...

HealthWatch: E-Cigarettes Are Less Harmful Than Regular Cigarettes, Still May Pose Risks
BOSTON (CBS) — Many smokers turn to e-cigarettes to help them quit but just how safe are they?
A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concludes that e-cigarettes are less toxic than regular cigarettes and could be a useful tool to help smokers kick the habit.
That said, e-cigarettes do emit some toxins and release nicotine which is addictive and has long-term effects, so you if you don’t smoke, certainly don’t start using e-cigarettes because you think they’re harmless. They’re not.
And we know that once kids and teens start using e-cigarettes or start ...

Almost 1 in 11 Students Has Vaped Marijuana
By Michael Nedelman, CNN
(CNN) — Nearly 1 in 11 middle and high school students in the US has used cannabis in an e-cigarette, according to a new report.
That breaks down to 12.4% of high schoolers and 4.5% of middle schoolers — 8.9% combined — who have ever vaped marijuana, which is on par with or higher than what previous studies have found. The data come from the 2016 National Youth Tobacco Survey, which includes more than 20,000 students nationwide.
Health experts say this finding adds to evidence that a growing vaping trend is affecting kids’ developing brains and acting as a gateway to other ...

The importance of nicotine use among winter sports athletes especially in skiers. Letter to the editor
We read with great interest the article by Menz et al., entitled “The use of medication and alcohol in recreational downhill skiers: results of a survey including 816 subjects in Tyrol".1 The authors reported the prevalence of medication use and alcohol consumption in a representative population of recreational downhill skiers. The finding that 63% of skiers un der medication concomitantly consumed alcohol is alarming. The Authors also reported the prevalence of smoking use. With our letter we would like to provide additional data and insights about nicotine and tobacco use in skiers.

US Health Officials Report New Vaping Deaths, Repeat Warning
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials on Friday again urged people to stop vaping until they figure out why some are coming down with serious breathing illnesses.
Officials have identified about 450 possible cases, including as many as five deaths, in 33 states. The count includes newly reported deaths in California, Indiana and Minnesota.
No single vaping device, liquid or ingredient has been tied to all the illnesses, officials said. Many of the sickened — but not all — were people who said they had been vaping THC, the chemical that gives marijuana its high. Many are teens.
Health officials have only been counting...

Use Of E-Cigarettes May Increase Flu Risk
BOSTON (CBS) – As the cases of vaping-related lung disease continue to rise, experts are warning of yet another potential risk as winter approaches.
That is, vaping may make you more vulnerable to the flu.
Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine looked at mice and found that just inhaling e-cigarette vapor, even without nicotine, disrupted normal lung function in mice and blunted the ability of their immune cells to respond to the influenza virus.
They say chronic exposure to e-cigarettes, even with ingredients that are thought to be relatively safe, could cause significant lung damage and put users at higher risk ...

Electronic cigarettes and sports: Dangerous liaisons?
Tobacco, including smokeless tobacco (SLT) must be discouraged, especially within 2h before and after a sports session [1]. However, the guidelines did not include the electronic cigarette (EC) which is a new growing mode of nicotine consumption, used as a smoking cessation tool [3]. Acute exercise is a trigger for myocardial infarction or sudden death, potentially enhanced by nicotine, through increased circulating catecholamine levels [2]. Although controversial and less documented than cigarette smoking (CS) [3], the harmful cardiovascular effects of SLT include coronary events and stroke [4].
