ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study longitudinally describes the relationship between frequency of e-cigarette use and past-month cigarette abstinence, dual use, and maintenance of cigarette smoking among adults in the US who ever used e-cigarettes for cigarette cessation.

Methods

Data were from the US Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study Waves 5 (2018/19; baseline) and 6 (2021; follow-up). The sample was restricted to adults who used cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the past-month and ever used e-cigarettes to quit smoking at baseline. The primary predictor was baseline daily e-cigarette-use, and outcomes at follow-up were past-month cigarette abstinence, and multiple past-month cessation outcomes: a. cigarette maintenance; b. dual use; c. dual abstinence; and, d. past-month
