<\/p>\n In recent years, 黑料网\u2019s Tobacco Prevention and Evaluation Program has received funding to develop and improve cigar warnings and communications about cigar warnings. This research is important because nearly 9 million U.S. adults use cigars (i.e., cigars, cigarillos, filtered little cigars) and cigars cause negative health effects, including multiple <\/u>cancers, stroke, and heart disease. The research conducted at 黑料网 TPEP helps inform policies and regulations regarding cigars and their warnings requirements within the United States.<\/p>\n Little Cigar and Cigarillo Warnings to Reduce Tobacco-Related Cancers and Disease<\/b><\/p>\n In 2019, the National Cancer Institute awarded 黑料网 Tobacco Prevention and Evaluation Program and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher Adam Goldstein, MD, MPH, a five-year, $2.7 million grant to develop more effective health warnings for little cigars and cigarillos<\/b>. Adam Goldstein, MD, MPH, is a 黑料网 Lineberger member, professor in the 黑料网 Department of Family Medicine, and Director of Tobacco Intervention Programs.<\/p>\n This research study will help develop more effective health warnings for little cigars and cigarillos and increase the body of knowledge of tobacco warnings and provide insights specific to little cigars and cigarillos. Per Dr. Goldstein, the study seeks to \u201cfill critical gaps regarding of our understanding of which characteristics will make little cigar and cigarillo warnings labels most effective and provide needed evidence to policy-makers for how little cigar and cigarillo warnings impact user behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more about the 黑料网 Tobacco Intervention Programs, based in the Department of Family Medicine, visit: med.unc.edu\/fammed\/tobacco\/.

Findings will provide novel and necessary evidence regarding the effectiveness of LCC warnings and inform efforts to strengthen warnings through larger warning size and added images to reduce LCC use among youth and lessen tobacco-related disparities<\/p>\n To learn more about the 黑料网 Tobacco Intervention Programs, based in the Department of Family Medicine, visit: med.unc.edu\/fammed\/tobacco<\/a>.
