“…In particular, all e‐cigarette users in NHANES who were free of a history of cigarette smoking (ie, sole users) were aged <40 years. Consistent with our findings, the PATH study showed that the prevalence of e‐cigarette use is higher among younger than older adults 18, 25. The use of e‐cigarettes has become more popular among young‐adult, never‐smoking individuals 25.…”

“…A growing body of evidence supports dual tobacco‐product use as the most prevalent tobacco‐use pattern 18, 19, 20. In line with our findings, the PATH (Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health) study, the CDC, and the NHIS (National Health Interview Survey) have indicated that e‐cigarette users are more likely to be current or former smokers 18, 19, 20. The high prevalence of e‐cigarette use among current smokers should be interpreted carefully.…”

BackgroundTo examine the prevalence and patterns of recent electronic cigarette (e‐cigarette) use in a nationally representative sample of US adults and adolescents.Methods and ResultsUsing tobacco information from NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2013–2014, 5423 adults and 895 adolescents (aged 13–17 years) were included in this analysis. Demographic, tobacco use, and drug use information were self‐reported. Recent e‐cigarette use (within the previous 5 days) was stratified by smoking status. Of 125 e‐cigarette users, 116 participants were aged ≥18 years, corresponding to 2.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.0–3.1) and 1.21% (95% CI, 0.3–2.1) prevalence of e‐cigarette use among US adults and adolescents, respectively. E‐cigarette adult users were current smokers (68.1%), former smokers (23.7%), and never smokers (8.2%). The highest prevalence of e‐cigarette use was among current smokers (8.2%; 95% CI, 6.3–10.1), followed by former smokers (2.7%; 95% CI, 1.4–4.1), and then never smokers (0.4%; 95% CI, 0.2–0.6). After adjusting for age, sex, and ethnicity, e‐cigarette users had higher odds of being exposed to secondhand smoke (odds ratio: 6.3; 95% CI, 3.6–11.1) and drinking alcohol (odds ratio: 4.2; 95% CI, 1.8–10.0) and lower odds of having at least a college education or a higher income, compared with tobacco nonusers.ConclusionsBetween 2013 and 2014, e‐cigarette use in the United States was more common among younger people, those with low socioeconomic status, and current and former smokers. These findings will help inform future research as well as public policy and regulatory actions.

“…The greater elevation in odds of currently using e‐cigarettes among recent quitters could suggest that the population with CVD might be more reliant on e‐cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool than the general population. We also observed differences in e‐cigarette use across education, with those who have some college showing the greatest use, which agrees with findings in prior studies characterizing e‐cigarette use …”

BackgroundCharacterizing electronic cigarette (e‐cigarette) use patterns is important for guiding tobacco regulatory policy and projecting the future burden of tobacco‐related diseases. Few studies have examined patterns of e‐cigarette use in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods and ResultsWe examined e‐cigarette use in adults aged 18 to 89 years with a history of CVD, using data from the 2014 National Health Interview Survey. We investigated associations between ever and current e‐cigarette use and smoking with multivariable logistic regression. In a secondary analysis, we modeled the association between e‐cigarette use and a quit attempt over the past year. Former smokers with CVD who quit smoking within the past year showed 1.85 (95% confidence interval, 1.03, 3.33) times the odds of having ever used e‐cigarettes as compared with those who reported being “some days” current smokers. Current smokers who attempted to quit smoking within the past year showed significantly increased odds of ever having used e‐cigarettes (odds ratio, 1.70; 95% confidence interval, 1.25, 2.30) and currently using e‐cigarettes (odds ratio, 1.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.32, 2.95) as compared with smokers who had not attempted to quit over the past year.ConclusionsIndividuals with CVD who recently quit smoking or reported a recent quit attempt were significantly more likely to use e‐cigarettes than current smokers and those who did not report a quit attempt. Our findings may indicate that this population is using e‐cigarettes as an aid to smoking cessation. Characterizing emerging e‐cigarette use behaviors in adults with CVD may help to inform outreach activities aimed at this high‐risk population.

“…Approximately 30% of current e‐cigarette users in this study reported using e‐cigarettes daily. This percentage is slightly higher than the 21% of current e‐cigarette users in the general population reporting daily use . Smokers who reported more frequent use of e‐cigarettes cited using e‐cigarettes to help to quit smoking more often than smokers reporting infrequent (ie 5 or fewer days in the past month) e‐cigarette use.…”

“…There is great variability in how frequently current e‐cigarette users in the general adult US population report using e‐cigarettes. A recent study found that among the 5.5% of US adults reporting current e‐cigarette use, 42% reported use on 2 or fewer days in the past 30 days and 21% reported daily e‐cigarette use . While past studies have assessed prevalence of e‐cigarette use among smokers with cancer, there have been few estimates of frequency of or reasons for e‐cigarette use in this population.…”

Electronic cigarette use patterns and reasons for use among smokers recently diagnosed with cancer

et al. 2018

Many patients with cancer use electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes), yet little is known about patterns and reasons for use. Using cross‐sectional baseline data from a randomized controlled trial, we aimed to describe prevalence and correlates of e‐cigarette use, frequency of use, and reasons for use among smokers recently diagnosed with cancer. Participants (n = 302) included adults (age ≥18 years) recently diagnosed with varied cancer types who smoked ≥1 cigarette within the past 30‐d from two US academic medical centers. Participants reported ever and current e‐cigarette use, and current e‐cigarette users reported days of e‐cigarette use and the main reason for use. We compared current, former, and never e‐cigarette users by sociodemographics, cancer type, medical comorbidities, smoking behaviors, attitudes, and emotional symptoms, and described use among current e‐cigarette users. Of smokers recently diagnosed with cancer, 49% (n = 149) reported ever e‐cigarette use and 19% (n = 56) reported current use. Of current e‐cigarette users, 29% (n = 16) reported daily use. Current e‐cigarette users did not differ from former and never e‐cigarette users by cancer type, smoking behaviors, or emotional symptoms. Women were more likely to be current users than never users, and current e‐cigarette users had less education than former users. Most current e‐cigarette users reported using them to help quit smoking (75%). One in five smokers with cancer report current e‐cigarette use, but most are not using e‐cigarettes daily. The majority report using e‐cigarettes to quit smoking. E‐cigarette use by patients with cancer appears to reflect a desire to quit smoking.

Electronic cigarette use among US adults in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, 2013–2014

Abstract: The majority of e-cigarette users in this study reported less than daily use. Compared with non-daily use, daily use was associated with being a former smoker; however, cross-sectional data limits our ability to establish the temporality or directionality of such associations.
