Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inhaled tobacco products are used in many forms around the world, ranging from combustible forms such as cigarettes, cigars and pipes, and heated tobacco from combusted charcoal (water pipes) or electric sources (electric water pipes, heat-not-burn, tobacco heated products) to aerosolized forms from liquids and gels (electronic cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems). The environmental impacts and health effects associated with the global use of tobacco products are multi-faceted. This Special Issue explores the joint effects of user behavior and the inherent characteristics of tobacco products on human health and the environment.
We encourage manuscripts from a variety of disciplines including (but not limited to) behavioral and physical sciences, clinical medicine, dentistry, psychology and social sciences, toxicology, pharmacology, epidemiology, finance, business and marketing, engineering and technology, regulatory science, and public policy. We are particularly interested in articles which explore the relationships between two or more factors which jointly impact human health and/or the environment. We are eager to explore how research from one discipline informs, or is informed by, research in another discipline.
Here are some examples of intersecting topics that could be addressed in this Special Issue:
- How product characteristics affect emissions,
- How user behavior affects emissions,
- How demographics and user characteristics influence product choice,
- How product characteristics affect the global environment throughout the product life cycle,
- How product characteristics affect successful switching from more harmful to less harmful tobacco products,
- How product characteristics affect toxicity and health risk,
- How can regulatory agencies assess the comparative health risk of one tobacco product versus another, particularly in light of produce use and misuse?
Disclaimer: We will not accept research funded in part or full by any tobacco companies in this Special Issue. For more details, please check httpswww.mdpi.com1660-460115122831htm.
