Developing a Vape Shop-Based Smoking Cessation Intervention: A Delphi Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Providing access to a vape shop-based smoking cessation intervention may simultaneously increase e-cigarette use and increase the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. The aim of this study was to identify the most important elements of vape shop-based smoking intervention to stakeholders who would be involved in delivering or accessing such an intervention.

Aims and methods

We conducted a three-round Delphi study of vape shop staff (n = 40), stop smoking professionals and tobacco control leads (n = 30), and smokers, vapers, and dual users (n = 30) in the United Kingdom in May-August 2021. In each round participants were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with statements related to vape shop-based interventions.
