 Corrective education targeting misperceptions of nicotine products' relative harmfulness may facilitate their use [NRT and vapor products} for smoking cessation.

 High perceived threat of tobacco may be overgeneralized to nicotine. Messaging should attempt to correct the misperception that nicotine causes cancer.

It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth. This 🧵 is about #ADHD and #nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant. Prescription stimulants help many people with ADHD. Smoking is twice as common in people with ADHD than the general population. #SaferNicotine #ADHDAcceptanceMonth
#ADHDAwarenessMonth
...findings have led to the hypothesis that individuals with ADHD may smoke in order to alleviate requisite symptoms of the disorder and further suggest nicotine can be used to improve aspects of cognitive function in these patients

#ADHDAcceptanceMonth

Some support for this hypothesis has been provided by studies which have shown positive effects of nicotine on ADHD symptoms and cognitive performance in non-smokers with ADHD.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay. This thread 🧵 is about #depression and #nicotine. A higher % of people w/depression smoke than people w/o depression. Depression is serious. Seek help if you're silently suffering alone. This isn't easily "fixed" by a lifestyle change! #MIAW21

E-cigarette use was not associated with an escalation in depression symptoms.

E-cigarette use was not related to the development of depression symptoms over time.
