Conclusions & Final Thoughts

E – cigarettes are not demonstrably superior to FDA approved medications for smoking cessation

The long term health risk of exposure to e – cigarette constituent chemicals is unknown

No regulatory oversight, such as requirement for good manufacturing practices, is currently in place for e –cigarette devices or e – juice

Because they may not be effective for smoking cessation, dual use may prolong exposure to tobacco

Tiotropium in Uncontrolled AsthmaDesign:  o Randomized, double‐blinded, triple‐dummy, crossover trial

Population:  o 210 patients with poorly controlled asthma on ICS monotherapy

Treatment:  o Double ICS dose vs add‐on tiotropium vs add‐on salmeterol

Results:  o Tiotropium improved morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) as 

compared to doubling the ICS dose. Tiotropium was non‐inferior to salmeterol at improving PEF.
