“…Despite this finding, several factors appear to foster the use of e-cigarettes in this population, including an uncertainty about the risks of e-cigarettes, a reported number of social benefits associated with their use, and limited direct education on the potential risks of e-cigarettes [19,33]. While the longitudinal risks associated with the use of e-cigarettes have yet to be determined, many have underscored the importance of developing public health measures and education programs on e-cigarettes targeted at the vulnerable adolescent population as part of an effort to combat the current observed rise in tobacco product use among youth [9,19,[33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…Further, while both cigarettes and e-cigarettes are now illegal for purchase by minors in North Carolina, taxes on e-cigarette liquids are significantly lower than on combustible cigarettes [28]. For these reasons, it has been posited that adolescents in our region may have a more favorable attitude toward tobacco products, including e-cigarettes [19]. It is not surprising, then, that our survey found a strong correlation between the use of e-cigarettes and the ever-use of combustible cigarettes.…”

“…Indeed, the risk of adolescent e-cigarette use has been previously correlated with parental use of e-cigarettes and tobacco products [19]. Given the current promotion of e-cigarettes as a novel alternative to cigarettes and perhaps as an aid for smoking cessation [32], it is not surprising that a general perception exists that e-cigarettes may be less harmful than combustible cigarettes [7].…”

Our survey results suggest that a critical time for adolescent education on this issue would be prior to high school matriculation, at which time the prevalence of everuse of e-cigarettes surpasses perceived risk.…”

“…What is the association between combustible cigarette and e-cigarette use and academic grade level? What are the correlates of current e-cigarette use among adolescents in a single county in North Carolina, a state with relatively high tobacco product use among youth and young adults [17][18][19]? To our knowledge, the current study is the first to report adolescent risk perceptions of e-cigarette use and adolescents' perceptions of their parents' attitudes toward e-cigarette use.…”

BACKGROUND: Primary care settings provide opportunities to identify electronic-cigarette (e-cigarette) use and to implement strategies for changing tobacco use behavior. However, a better understanding of the extent and associated characteristics of e-cigarette use among primary care patients are needed to inform such efforts. OBJECTIVE: To describe patient demographic and substance use characteristics by e-cigarette use status among a large sample of primary care patients. To examine the prevalence and correlates of e-cigarette use among tobacco users in the sample. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis from a multisite validation study of a substance use screening instrument. PARTICIPANTS: Adult primary care patients aged 18 and older (n = 2000) recruited across 5 primary care clinics in the Eastern USA from 2014 to 2015. MAIN MEASURES: Patients reported past 3-month e-cigarette use, sociodemographics, tobacco use, and other substance use. Current nicotine dependence and DSM-5 criteria for past-year substance use disorders were also assessed. KEY RESULTS: Among the total sample, 7.7% (n = 154) adults reported past 3-month e-cigarette use. Adults who reported e-cigarette use (vs. no use) were more likely to be younger, white, or have frequent tobacco use, nicotine dependence, or past-year illicit drug use/disorders. Among past 3-month tobacco users, 16.3% reported e-cigarette use. Adjusted logistic regression indicated that odds of e-cigarette use were greater among tobacco users who had some college education or more (vs. < high school) or were daily/almost daily tobacco users (vs. not); odds were lower among Blacks/African-Americans (vs. whites). E-cigarette use among tobacco users was associated with increased odds of current nicotine dependence or tobacco use disorder as well as more severe dependence/disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced surveillance of e-cigarette use among adult tobacco users in primary care, particularly among those who use tobacco frequently, may have implications for helping patients with tobacco cessation using established approaches including behavioral support, pharmacotherapy, or referral to specialized care.
