Appendix BOverview of Literature Search

The committee conducted a series of searches in five databases—PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO (ProQuest), MEDLINE (Ovid), and Embase (Ovid)— between February 2021 and March 2021 to identify all literature on premium cigars. Additional focused searches were conducted for subject- or language-specific databases, including American Chemical Society, Agricola (Ovid), LILACS, and LexisNexis. Initial search results were then expanded in June to include any relevant articles published prior to the dates included in the initial search criteria and after the initial searches were undertaken. Additional searches were run in August 2021 focusing on the use of the term “premium” for other consumer goods in specific publications.

Some 2020 and 2021 studies may not have been captured due to lags and discrepancies in database indexing. Because the last comprehensive review cigars (including premium cigars) was published in 1997, the search date range was 1996–2021. The search was limited to the English and Spanish languages but did not limit country of origin. The research questions that the committee considered informed the terms used in the search strategy (see Appendix A).

Because “premium” has been neither clearly defined nor used systematically (see Chapter 1), searches considered cigars more generally. Reviews were identified for other combustible tobacco products for comparison to premium cigars. The committee's approach was informed by published guidelines for conducting systematic reviews and the approaches taken by prior National Academies committees (CRD, 2009; Higgins, 2021; IOM, 2011, 2012, 2016; NASEM, 2017, 2018; NRC, 2014; OHAT, 2019; Whiting et al., 2016). However, early in its work, the committee noted the very limited literature available on premium cigars specifically and the lack of an agreed-upon definition of “premium” and therefore a lack of consistency regarding which brands are considered premium in the literature. Moreover, many publications do not distinguish “premium” from other large cigars. In addition, the study types varied considerably (e.g., laboratory, epidemiologic and toxicologic studies, and surveys). The committee adjusted its approach and framework accordingly. The following section includes the committee's search strategy to identify literature on premium cigars.

Committee members reviewed and assessed each relevant study. First, the committee identified what questions the literature addressed and then assessed the extent to which each study was able to answer each one. The committee considered study design, study results, and other potential sources of conflict of interest or bias, including multiple elements to assess internal and external validity, including the study sample, sampling methods, basic demographic information (age, gender, and race/ethnicity), and setting. Analytical methods were also considered, such as statistical tests used and their appropriateness. The quality of execution (e.g., dropout rates) was assessed as well. Finally, the committee considered the study results (including adjusted and unadjusted results where available), including the outcomes assessed and how these outcomes were operationalized.

Potential bias in the studies based on sponsorship, particularly by industry, is often a concern in the tobacco literature, given the industry's history of manipulating evidence to support its interests. However, a range of nonscientific influences affect how investigators design, conduct, analyze, and interpret their data, including research sponsorship and source of employment (NASEM, 2018). The evidence assessment in this report focused on the quality of the research and reported results but recognized that financial interests raise concerns to varying degrees with the credibility of the findings. For completeness, the committee documented the source of research sponsorship or other external involvement in a table available as an online supplement, noting whether each study was funded by industry, government, other (university, foundation), or not stated (the committee used the template used in NASEM, 2018). The committee also notes other industry involvement, such as whether industry is a source of employment.
