We really appreciate their relentless efforts for communicating and coordinating with our coordinators thoroughly and making this issue successful and intriguing for readers worldwide.

Impacts of Smartphone Dependence on Students? Sleep and Everyday Memory by Xiaojing Li, the study carried were based on the self-efficacy of the students and young adults in the us age of smartphones and consequences faced by them in affecting their cognitive memory. Various surveys from Chinese students and scholars which are used in the original article are explained well. The article elicits further study about the students’ smartphone dependence and further consequences faced due to this addiction. This article gave a proper idea about smartphone addiction and the trauma they face due to this addiction. We are very fortunate to receive such an article with funding from the Chinese National Funding of Social Sciences and Shanghai Municipal Funding of Social Sciences. Commentary article on Pilot Study of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) Cessation Methods by Michelle Sahr was another interesting article we have published. This study was carried to find the differences between smoking and vaping usage among people. Various questionnaires are prepared and a modified Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence is prepared. With her article, she was induced to study various programs which are to be highly encouraged to improve the field study of vaping (as this can’t be quantifiable). The article elicits further study about consequences faced due to this addiction and their effects on the behavioral health of an individual.
