Psychological and behavioral profiles of combustible vs. e-cigarette users: a narrative review of the implications for tailored non-pharmacological cessation interventions
Overview
This narrative review compares the psychological and behavioral profiles of combustible cigarette users versus e-cigarette users to inform tailored non-pharmacological cessation strategies. The authors analyze 76 studies to highlight distinct dependence patterns, noting that combustible users often require structured interventions addressing physiological withdrawal, while e-cigarette users may respond better to digital platforms with gamification and peer support. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers seeking a differentiated behavioral framework for tobacco control.
