“…To date, general principles and established treatments for CC use have been applied. This approach carries potential limitations: a qualitative study of Canadian youth and young adults identified several differences between vaping and CC use that may influence the cessation process [ 91 ]. In this study, unlike CC users, EC users reported their enjoyment of flavors as a reason for ongoing use.…”

“…Like all substance use disorders, clinicians can begin by engaging youth in strength-based motivational interviewing, weighing the risks of vaping against perceived benefits, and identifying specific goals for use reduction or cessation with youth who wish to quit [ 87 ]. Youth often cite health, cost, freedom from addiction, social considerations, and academic performance as reasons for wishing to quit vaping [ 89 , 91 ]. These goals may include eliminating use of favored flavors that although not addictive seem to reinforce use in youth.…”

“…These goals may include eliminating use of favored flavors that although not addictive seem to reinforce use in youth. Social media information and misinformation about EC has caused confusion for some youth that may reduce motivation for cessation [ 91 ]; medical professionals can provide credible information about health risks to reinforce motivation for change. Since youth EC users may be less aware of how much they are using (e.g., how many pods per week) than CC users, helping the youth keep a log of use may provide a useful means of developing insight into their use [ 91 ].…”

Worldwide, youth electronic cigarette use (vaping) has risen significantly over the past decade. This public health concern has spurred many high-quality studies characterizing country-specific prevalence, risk factors, physical and behavioral health complications, and optimal methods of assessment and counseling for youth vaping. Clinicians remain underexposed to this recent work, limiting translation of evidence into higher quality patient care. This review aims to provide pediatricians and other clinicians working with youth a clinically focused survey of key research findings and considerations based on recent evidence. This narrative review surveys emerging trends in EC use across different countries, reasons for youth vaping, characteristics of vaping materials that promote youth use, associations with combustible cigarette use, relation with cannabis and other illicit substances, physical and behavioral health risks associated with vaping, and methods of assessment, counseling, and intervention for problematic vaping in youth. Since vaping remains a relatively new phenomenon, long-term health consequences remain unknown. Conclusion : Youth vaping is an increasingly well-studied phenomenon with both physical and behavioral health risks. Pediatricians and other youth-focused clinicians can apply the lessons of recent research in work with youth and their families. What is Known: • Youth vaping is an increasingly prevalent public health concern . • Recent research demonstrates physical and behavioral health risks associated with vaping as well as methods for assessment, counseling, and intervention . What is New: • The current review summarizes the latest evidence in a clinically focused framework to facilitate translation of emerging knowledge to practice .

“…Use of ECs can also produce dependence 1 and withdrawal upon cessation 15 . Thus, among those who become dependent on ECs, quitting ECs could require some motivations or strategies similar to quitting CCs 16 . Though research on reasons for quitting ECs among adults is limited, one recent qualitative study identified health, financial cost, and freedom from addiction as common reasons for wanting to quit ECs among youth and young adults seeking EC cessation treatment 17 but did not assess reasons for quitting among dual users per se.…”

strategies used (i.e. methods) to quit ECs among adults who use both ECs and CCs. Discontinuing EC use is common among adult CC smokers who try using ECs 3-5. In a large national study of US adults, over half (56%) of current CC smokers who started using ECs later discontinued ECs 4 and findings were similar in a European cohort study with a two year follow-up 5. Much of the prior research on stopping ECs includes adults who tried and subsequently discontinued ECs in the absence of self-defined regular EC use or dependence 4,8. Among adults with a history of regular EC use, the most ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Most adults who use electronic cigarettes (ECs) also smoke combustible cigarettes (CCs). Quitting ECs appears common among dual users but little is known regarding adult dual users' motivations and methods to quit ECs or how this relates to quitting CCs. METHODS We used Amazon Mechanical Turk, a web-based crowd-sourcing service, to survey 366 US adults with a history of regular EC and CC use. This analysis examined motivations and methods to quit both products among a subset of 204 (55.7%) respondents with dual use and a history of one or more attempts to quit ECs. RESULTS Most respondents (95%) were using ECs at the time of this survey and had a lifetime median of five EC quit attempts. The most common motivations to quit ECs were health (74%), money/cost (45%), and to reduce risk of COVID-19 (25%). The most common EC quit methods were cutting down (68%), getting advice from a doctor (28%), quitting 'cold turkey' (24%), nicotine replacement therapy (24%), and switching to ECs with less nicotine (24%). Most motivations and methods to quit ECs and CCs were moderately to highly correlated, suggesting similarity in dual users' approach to quitting the two products. CONCLUSIONS Dual users had a range of motivations and methods to quit ECs, most of which were similar to their motivations and methods to quit CCs. These findings support the need to develop treatment for adults motivated to quit ECs and demonstrate that dual users may currently engage in similar strategies to quit both products.
