The health Effects of Real-World Dual Use of Electronic and Conventional Cigarettes versus the health Effects of Exclusive Smoking of Conventional Cigarettes: a Systematic Review.

The paper is a systematic review of studies examining the health effects of using both electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and conventional cigarettes (also known as dual use).

The authors, Pisinger and Rasmussen, were responsible for the conceptualization, search, methodology, validation, formal analysis, data curation, writing, and funding acquisition for the review. They included a total of 49 studies in their final analysis, which were identified through a systematic search of databases including PubMed, Embase, and PsycInfo. The search terms used included various combinations of "electronic cigarette," "e-cigarette," "electronic nicotine delivery device," and "dual use."

The review excluded studies that did not meet certain criteria, such as those that did not focus on the health effects of dual use of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes, or those that were not published in English. an overview of the excluded studies and the inclusion/exclusion process can be found in Tables S2 and S3, respectively. additional details about the methodology and definitions used in the review can be found in appendices S1 and S2.

The results of the review found that dual use of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes is associated with a number of negative health effects, including increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The authors also discuss the challenges of measuring e-cigarette use intensity and the regulatory implications of their findings.

Overall, the document is a systematic review of the health effects of dual use of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes, conducted by authors Pisinger and Rasmussen. The review included 49 studies and found that dual use is associated with negative health effects.
