“…18 Third, e-cigarette use could normalize nicotine use 25,34,35 and initiate nicotine dependence. 18,25,35,36 Fourth, e-cigarette use could potentially desensitize the lungs to harsh or adverse effects of nicotine inhalation. 20 To our knowledge, our study is the first to examine the risk of e-cigarette use on relapse among distant former combustible cigarette smokers and initiation of combustible cigarette smoking among never smokers in a representative sample of US adults.…”

Objectives: Any potential harm-reduction benefit of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) could be offset by nonsmokers who initiate e-cigarette use and then smoke combustible cigarettes. We examined correlates of e-cigarette use at baseline with combustible cigarette smoking at 1-year follow-up among adult distant former combustible cigarette smokers (ie, quit smoking ≥5 years ago) and never smokers. Methods: The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, a nationally representative, longitudinal study, surveyed 26 446 US adults during 2 waves: 2013-2014 (baseline) and 2014-2015 (1-year follow-up). Participants completed an audio computer-assisted interview in English or Spanish. We compared combustible cigarette smoking at 1-year follow-up by e-cigarette use at baseline among distant former combustible cigarette smokers and never smokers. Results: Distant former combustible cigarette smokers who reported e-cigarette past 30-day use (9.3%) and ever use (6.7%) were significantly more likely than those who had never used e-cigarettes (1.3%) to have relapsed to current combustible cigarette smoking at follow-up ( P < .001). Never smokers who reported e-cigarette past 30-day use (25.6%) and ever use (13.9%) were significantly more likely than those who had never used e-cigarettes (2.1%) to have initiated combustible cigarette smoking ( P < .001). Adults who reported past 30-day e-cigarette use (7.0%) and ever e-cigarette use (1.7%) were more likely than those who had never used e-cigarettes (0.3%) to have transitioned from never smokers to current combustible cigarette smokers ( P < .001). E-cigarette use predicted combustible cigarette smoking in multivariable analyses controlling for covariates. Conclusions: Policies and counseling should consider the increased risk for nonsmokers of future combustible cigarette smoking use as a result of using e-cigarettes and any potential harm-reduction benefits e-cigarettes might bring to current combustible cigarette smokers.

“…However, at present, EC users such as these appear rare (Chivers et al, 2016; Sutfin et al, 2013; Vickerman et al, 2013) and thus the clinical relevance of such an investigation may be limited, at least among adults. Among adolescents, such users may be more common (Wills, 2017) and future work should specifically examine discounting in this population.…”

“…Recent evidence offers indirect empirical support for this hypothesis. Cross-sectional data suggest that youth who use alternative tobacco products exhibit fewer psychosocial risk factors (e.g., sensation seeking) and mental health problems other than ADHD (e.g., substance use, anxiety, depression) than adolescents who smoke combustible cigarettes (Wills, 2017;Leventhal et al, 2016). Comparisons between youth poly-product users (e.g., use of e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes) and youth who use a single product have found that poly-product users exhibit greater levels of some mental and behavioral health outcomes (e.g., marijuana use) but not others (e.g., anxiety and depression; Leventhal et al, 2016).…”
