On this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Prabhat Jha about his fascinating research recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine on the extent and speed at which quitting smoking reduces death rates from smoking-related illnesses.  What he describes in the podcast will be encouragement for anyone, no matter how long they smoked, to consider quitting. In addition to his research, we also chat about evidence for and against vaping, and he also shares a colorful tale on the lows the tobacco industry will go to keep people hooked. Dr. Jha is an epidemiologist, researcher and founding director of the Centre for Global Health Research at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. His research focus is death resulting from HIV, tobaccco, alcohol, maleria and both infectious and non-communicable diseases in general. You can read more about him on his Wikipedia page here.

“I'm betting it's going to be more good than bad, but I have some big concerns about where things are headed,” warns Dr. Matthew Johnson of Johns Hopkins University when prognosticating about what impact the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment will have on society at large. As he tells host Shiv Gaglani, once these compounds are more widely available, there is real potential for unscrupulous actors to take advantage of people and cults to form. “One of the critiques is about this “new religion” component. I've been really concerned about that because I see even within the deepest layers of science, it's very difficult to trust people with the magnitude of effect psychedelics have in people.” It's perhaps surprising for one of the scientists responsible for the renaissance in psychedelic research to articulate those concerns, but Dr. Johnson notes there is a long history, going back centuries, of psychedelics waxing and waning due to social and political factors. For now, he is focused on the efficacy of psychedelics in combating nicotine addiction, an area he pioneered starting a decade ago. Preliminary results of a study building on his early work indicate psychedelic-assisted therapy may be twice as effective as the leading nicotine replacement therapy. Up next is a multi-site trial on nicotine, plus studies on using LSD to treat chronic pain and psylocibin to deal with opioid addiction and PTSD. Don't miss this thoughtful, nuanced and super informative discussion on one of the most interesting areas in medical science today. 

In this episode, Chloe Burke talks to Dr Jamie Hartmann-Boyce about new guidance from the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group (TAG) on assessing and minimising risk of bias in tobacco cessation trials. Jamie explains some of the key challenges in this area and explains some of the primary sources of bias that authors need to be aware of when analysing tobacco cessation trials. This article was published as part of Addiction's Methods and Techniques series."We wanted to do this to make sure people were assessing it [risk of bias] well, but also to put in some sort of consistency across our reviews so that the different author teams working on them were broadly using the same criteria"Original article: Assessing and minimizing risk of bias in randomized controlled trials of tobacco cessation interventions: Guidance from the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group by Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson.

Highlights From Today's Episode “For every person who dies from smoking, at least 30 people will live with a serious smoking-related illness. Smoking causes cancer; heart disease; strokes; lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which include emphysema and chronic bronchitis; and diabetes. 87% of all lung cancers are directly linked to smoking. . . . One out of every three cancer deaths are directly related to smoking.” Timestamp (TS) 11:50 “When and if a patient continues to smoke with a cancer diagnosis, it's because there's a high nicotine dependence. They're smoking to manage their withdrawal symptoms. The biggest withdrawal symptoms are anxiety and depression. And one might say that just being diagnosed with a cancer diagnosis is very anxiety-provoking. . . . They get very, very anxious, and the nicotine receptors in the brain will actually tell them to have a cigarette.” TS 15:58 “One of the byproducts of tobacco is carbon monoxide, and that is retained in the lungs. . . . And in eight hours, we can start to reverse that. In 24 hours, the risk of a heart attack decreases if you stop smoking. In about two weeks to three months after stopping smoking, your circulation starts to improve and your lung function increases.” TS 27:43 “As an oncology nurse, I think we need to start really focusing on some of the positive reasons why patients need to stop smoking in any prognosis that they have across the board. I think people respond to positive feedback better than negative feedback. That's why the benefits of smoking cessation for patients with cancer are so important to talk about.” TS 29:35 “It's the oncology nurse who might be the only cheerleader this person has to keep them motivated moving forward, and that's what we need to do. We need to make sure our patients' motivation and competence stay high so that they can continue on this journey of quitting.” TS 31:50

Donna Borowski, RN discusses tobacco cessation strategies and Mission programs helping our population fight this addiction.

Tobacco Recovery was presented on October 17, 2017, by Anna Byberg, LMSW, CAADC; Program Coordinator, Dawn Farm Spera Recovery Center (and a panel of former tobacco users.) Despite downward trends in the prevalence of tobacco use in the general population, tobacco use remains a significant problem among people with alcohol/other drug addiction. The conventional wisdom that tobacco use should not be addressed during treatment or in early recovery has been shown to be false. Studies have demonstrated that tobacco cessation has positive effects on recovery and relapse rates, and a smoke-free policy does not adversely affect treatment retention. This program will describe the prevalence of tobacco addiction among people with alcohol and other drug addictions, the relationship between tobacco use and recovery, information on tobacco cessation techniques targeted to people with alcohol/other drug addiction, and suggestions for implementation of tobacco cessation support by addiction treatment programs/professionals. This presentation is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a free, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.
