“…Previous research has shown that current smokers do indeed use e-cigarettes in situations where they cannot smoke cigarettes. [36][37][38] If permitted in smoke-free areas, e-cigarettes could be used to subvert smoking restrictions and re-normalize smoking. 6 Social denormalization of smoking played a critical role in reducing smoking prevalence and youth initiation.…”

Introduction: In the United States, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are currently unregulated, extensively marketed, and experiencing a rapid increase in use. The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions of U.S. adults about e-cigarette use in smoke-free public areas. Methods: Data were obtained from the online HealthStyle survey administered to a probability sample of a nationally representative online panel. The study included 4,043 U.S. adults, aged 18 years or older who responded to this question, "Do you think e-cigarette should be allowed to be used in public areas where tobacco smoking is prohibited?" Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to examine opinions on e-cigarette use in smoke-free areas by sex, age, race/ ethnicity, household income, education, census region, and cigarette smoking status and e-cigarette awareness and ever use. Results: Overall, about 40% of adults were uncertain whether e-cigarettes should be allowed in smoke-free areas, 37% opposed, while 23% favored their use in smoke-free public places. Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that adults who were aware, ever used e-cigarettes, and current cigarette smokers were more likely to express an "in favor" opinion than adults who expressed an uncertain opinion (don't know). Conclusion: Over 75% of U.S. adults reported uncertainty or disapproval of the use of e-cigarettes in smoke-free areas. Current cigarette smokers, adults aware or have ever used e-cigarettes were more supportive to exempting e-cigarettes from smoking restrictions. With impending regulation and the changing e-cigarette landscape, continued monitoring and research on public opinions about e-cigarette use in smoke-free places are needed.

“…Shiffman, Pillitteri, Burton, and Di Marino (2004) did show that simulated ads describing Eclipse reduced intentions to quit among smokers, and Hughes, Keely, and Callas (2005) showed that Eclipse users were no more or less likely to have quit at 6 months follow-up compared with other smokers. More recently, several studies have evaluated the use of e-cigarettes by cigarette smokers, which indicate that smokers report using them to help quit or cut down on smoking (Adkison et al, 2013;Etter, 2010;Etter & Bullen, 2011;Pearson, Richardson, Niaura, Vallone, & Abrams, 2012;Pokhrel, Fagan, Little, Kawamoto, & Herzog, 2013;Regan, Promoff, Dube, & Arrazola, 2013;Vickerman, Carpenter, Altman, Nash, & Zbikowski, 2013). None of the unconventional tobacco products evaluated in this study have been approved as smoking cessation aids.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and correlates of use of nicotine-containing tobacco products such as cigars, pipe tobacco, and cigarettes that promise less exposure to toxins; e-cigarettes; and smokeless tobacco products among a cohort of conventional cigarette smokers followed over the past decade. We also evaluated associations between use of such products and cigarette quitting.

“…The extant literature on consumer perceptions of e-cigarettes is limited and focuses primarily on self-reported reasons for e-cigarette use (Adkison et al, 2013;Dawkins et al, 2013;Farsalinos et al, 2014;Goniewicz et al, 2013;Pepper et al, 2014;Richardson et al, 2014;Vickerman et al, 2013;Zhu et al, 2014), which is only one aspect of consumer perceptions. Based on survey data, frequently endorsed reasons for e-cigarette use include: aiding in conventional cigarette smoking cessation (Dawkins et al, 2013;Farsalinos et al, 2014;Pepper et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2014); the ability to use e-cigarettes anywhere (Dawkins et al, 2013;Pepper et al, 2014); the limited amount of secondhand "smoke" produced (Farsalinos et al, 2014); and consumer perceptions of less harm than conventional cigarettes (Etter and Bullen, 2011;Pepper et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2014).…”

Background-Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is rapidly increasing among adults in the U.S. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore consumer perceptions about e-cigarettes, including knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and perceived social norms.Methods-A total of 14 focus groups (N = 116) were conducted with current adult e-cigarette users in five U.S. cities from March through May, 2014. Focus groups were segmented by age (young adults aged 18-29 and older adults aged 30 and older) as well as by e-cigarette use status (exclusive e-cigarette users and non-exclusive e-cigarette users). Focus group discussions lasted approximately 60-min and were audio-recorded and transcribed; data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach.Results-Participants expressed many positive attitudes towards e-cigarettes and simultaneously reported a lack of information and knowledge about the products. Focus group participants overwhelmingly felt as though the ingredients of e-cigarettes were likely less harmful than conventional cigarettes. Additionally, many described positive reactions from family and friends, especially when e-cigarettes were used in place of conventional cigarettes.Conclusions-Findings from this qualitative study provide insight into consumer knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about e-cigarettes increasing our understanding of why and how they are
