The effect of potential electronic nicotine delivery system regulations on nicotine product selection.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To estimate the effect of potential regulations of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) among adult smokers, including increasing taxes, reducing flavor availability and adding warning labels communicating various levels of risk.

Design

We performed a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among a national sample of 1200 adult smokers. We examined heterogeneity in policy responses by age, cigarette quitting interest and current ENDS use. Our experiment overlapped January 2015 by design, providing exogenous variation in cigarette quitting interest from New Year resolutions.

Setting

KnowledgePanel, an online panel of recruited respondents.

Participants

A total of 1200 adult smokers from the United States.
