A recent study conducted at the University of Vermont examined the effects of smoking cigarettes with varying nicotine doses on weight and appetite in individuals with affective disorders, opioid use disorder, and socioeconomically disadvantaged women. The study found that weight increased over time for all populations, but did not vary by nicotine dose. However, individuals with affective disorders and socioeconomically disadvantaged women reported increased appetite and weight gain when smoking cigarettes with a nicotine content of 0.4 mg/g. The researchers concluded that these changes were not clinically significant, suggesting minimal short-term adverse consequences of a nicotine reduction policy. The study was supported by the Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Food and Drug Administration. [Extracted from the article] |
