International data suggest an increase in e-cigarette use. However, there are still significant deficits in the reporting of its current prevalence. The present study reports representative data on e-cigarette use that make it possible to differentiate users both by the nicotine content of the e-cigarette liquids being used and by their smoking status. The underlying data are taken from the National Cancer Aid Monitoring (NCAM). In its first wave, 3000 persons aged between 14 and 45 were interviewed by telephone. Point estimates, confidence intervals and determinants of use will be presented. Overall, 20 % of respondents had used an e-cigarette before, of which 80 % used liquids containing nicotine. Men, younger persons, persons with a migrant background and persons with a lower education level were more likely to have used an e-cigarette before than their respective reference groups. Half of all ever users of e-cigarettes also smoked tobacco cigarettes, while roughly one third had never used tobacco products before. For the first time, a representative study was conducted combining questions on the use of e-cigarettes with questions on smoking tobacco cigarettes and the nicotine content of the liquids being used. Target groups for future prevention measures are adolescents, as they had the highest prevalence of e-cigarette use, as well as non-smokers, since one third of e-cigarette users had never used a tobacco product before. Both groups also seem to be relevant target groups for which the introduction to e-cigarettes should be prevented.

“…This support, in the country’s leading tobacco-producing state, should serve to promote the adoption of comprehensive tobacco and e-cigarette campus policies not only at other hospitals throughout the U.S. and globally, but also in private spaces such as worksites, restaurants, and bars, which currently lack such regulations in many states [ 31 , 41 , 42 ]. At the same time, more research is needed to guide tobacco control practitioners and policymakers about the effects of e-cigarettes on users and bystanders and the impact on population health in order to inform more effective e-cigarette regulation [ 43 , 44 ].…”

Electronic Cigarettes on Hospital Campuses

Smoke and tobacco-free policies on hospital campuses have become more prevalent across the U.S. and Europe, de-normalizing smoking and reducing secondhand smoke exposure on hospital grounds. Concerns about the increasing use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and the impact of such use on smoke and tobacco-free policies have arisen, but to date, no systematic data describes e-cigarette policies on hospital campuses. The study surveyed all hospitals in North Carolina (n = 121) to assess what proportion of hospitals have developed e-cigarette policies, how policies have been implemented and communicated, and what motivators and barriers have influenced the development of e-cigarette regulations. Seventy-five hospitals (62%) completed the survey. Over 80% of hospitals reported the existence of a policy regulating the use of e-cigarettes on campus and roughly half of the hospitals without a current e-cigarette policy are likely to develop one within the next year. Most e-cigarette policies have been incorporated into existing tobacco-free policies with few reported barriers, though effective communication of e-cigarette policies is lacking. The majority of hospitals strongly agree that e-cigarette use on campus should be prohibited for staff, patients, and visitors. Widespread incorporation of e-cigarette policies into existing hospital smoke and tobacco-free campus policies is feasible but needs communication to staff, patients, and visitors.
