INTRODUCTION: Instagram is a popular social networking platform for sharing photos with a large proportion of youth and young adult users. We aim to identify key features in anti-vaping Instagram image posts associated with high social media user eng...
Vaping involves the heating of chemical solutions (e-liquids) to high temperatures prior to lung inhalation. A risk exists that these chemicals undergo thermal decomposition to new chemical entities, the composition and health implications of which a...
INTRODUCTION: Increasing number of current cannabis users report using a vaporized form of cannabis and young adults are most likely to vape cannabis. However, the number of studies on cannabis vaping is limited, and predictors of cannabis vaping amo...

Feature selection is essentially the process of picking informative and relevant features from a larger collection of features. Few studies have focused on predictors for current e-cigarette use among U.S. adults using feature selection and machine l...
To monitor health risks associated with vaping, we introduce a multi-spectral optical sensor powered by machine learning for real-time characterization of electronic cigarette aerosols. The sensor can accurately measure the mass of particulate matter...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies identified e-cigarette content on popular video and image-based social media platforms such as TikTok. While machine learning approaches have been increasingly used with text-based social media data, image-based analysis ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and start a discussion on the potential usefulness of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven natural language processing technology such as the ChatGPT in tobacco control efforts, specifically vaping cessation.
