Prevalence of flavored e-cigarette use among subpopulations of adults in the United States
Journal of the National Cancer Institute Aug 19, 2020
Leventhal AM, Dai H., et al. - Researchers sought to clarify the prevalence of flavored e-cigarette use among US adult classified by age, smoking status, and purpose for vaping (ie, quitting smoking, to use when/where smoking is not allowed) to help create policies that could lower the tobacco-related cancer burden. In the July 2018 Current Population Survey Tobacco Use Supplement, a nationally representative cross-sectional adult survey (n = 46,759), they estimated the prevalence of current flavored e-cigarette usage (use > 1 non-tobacco flavors) across subpopulation groups using two-sided statistical significance tests. Out of all respondents, 1.6% reported current flavored e-cigarette use, suggesting a low overall prevalence of flavored e-cigarette use among US adults. However, its use is common in current vapers. Never smokers and other subpopulations that might experience harm from vaping showed disproportionate prevalence of flavored e-cigarette use.
