'Other indoor settings' (eg, bar and restaurant) was reported as the place where most of e-cigarette non-users were exposed (8.3%), followed by workplace/educational venues (6.4%), home (5.8%), public transportation (3.5%) and private transportation (2.7%). SHA exposure was more likely to occur in certain groups of non-users men, younger age groups, those with higher level of education, e-cigarette past users, current smokers, those perceiving SHA harmless and living in countries with a higher e-cigarette use prevalence. CONCLUSIONS We found inequalities of SHA exposure across and within European countries. Governments should consider extending their tobacco smoke-free legislation to e-cigarettes to protect bystanders, particularly vulnerable populations such as young people.

METHODS All 2018 FDA e-cigarette warning letters issued by the Center for Tobacco Products to online retailers were reviewed and characterised. Date of issuance, name, type, and location of the retailer, and violation type were recorded. Retailer websites were rechecked a minimum of 30 days after the issuance of the warning letter to assess compliance with enforcement actions. RESULTS One hundred and thirteen of 124 letters met the inclusion criteria; one duplicate letter and 10 letters unrelated to e-cigarettes were excluded. One manufacturer was cited for associating their e-liquid with prescription drugs, and when analysed, the e-liquid was found to contain phosphodiesterase inhibitors. A majority of violations, 98.2% (111/113), pertained to the sales of an e-cigarette product to a minor and/or use of marketing that appeals to children. The majority of websites (63.7%, 72/113) resolved all violations. However, 19.5% (22/113) inactivated their website, and 16.8% (19/113) did not fully correct all violations. CONCLUSIONS Sales of e-cigarette products to minors and the purposeful marketing of e-liquids in a manner that appeals to children and adolescents continues to be problematic. While the warning letters were successful in getting a majority of online retailers to correct the stated violation, many sold other products that would be considered a violation of marketing to minors. The appearance of e-liquids that contain prescription medications is also alarming. Comprehensive and continued enforcement of online e-cigarette retailers is urgently needed. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions.

Only a few studies have examined burnout in Canadian residents, and no multispecialty studies using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Health Sciences Survey (MBI-HSS) exist. The purpose of our study is to identify burnout prevalence, contributory factors and solutions. selleck inhibitor METHODS A prospective 62-item survey, including the 22-item MBI-HSS, was sent to all Alberta residents, with a resident population of 1745. The association between burnout, EE, DP and PA with items in the survey was performed. Continuous data were evaluated using Student's t-test or analysis of variance. Ordinal data were evaluated using Spearman's correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U test. Nominal data were evaluated using χ2 test. RESULTS Response rate was 41.1% (n=718), with burnout prevalence of 69.4%. 61.6% of residents demonstrated high EE, 47.8% high DP and 29.0% low PA.
