Objectives: In this study, we assessed complete switching away from cigarette smoking among adult smokers who purchased a JUUL Starter Kit (JSK).

Background: Interferon regulatory factor 6 ( IRF6 ) plays a critical role in embryonic tissue development, including differentiation of epithelial cells. Besides orofacial clefting due to haploinsufficiency IRF6, recent human genetic studies indicated that mutations are linked small mandible and digit abnormalities. The function has been well studied oral epithelium; however, its craniofacial skeletal formation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the Irf6 bone development using...
