  • More adolescents are inclined to transition from vaping to conventional cigarettes, reversing a two-decade-long decline.

    “Moreover, more adolescents are inclined to transition from vaping to conventional cigarettes, reversing a two-decade-long decline [166–169].”

    From Adolescent nicotine exposure and persistent neurocircuitry changes: unveiling lifelong psychiatric risks (2025) · cites this paper as [166]

    The Results report that baseline vaping was associated with greater smoking frequency six months later, particularly among adolescents who did not smoke at baseline. The study does not establish that vaping caused a transition to cigarettes or report a reversal of a two-decade decline in adolescent smoking. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
