Adult Use of and Transitions From Nicotine and Non-nicotine-Containing E-cigarettes: Data From the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, 2013-2016.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Studies largely focus on nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NiCE) though non-nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NoCE) exist; NoCE prevalence and patterns of use are largely unknown. This study examines self-reported prevalence and patterns of NiCE/NoCE use. METHODS:We analyzed adult (18+ years) data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study from Wave 1 (2013-2014, n = 32,320), Wave 2 (2014-2015, n = 28,632), and Wave 3 (2015-2016, n = 28,148). We test associations between Wave 1 self-reported current NoCE/NiCE use status and demographic characteristics and assess the proportion of self-reported current NoCE/NiCE users at Wave 1 or Wave 2 who continue to use NoCE or NiCE, switch to NiCE or NoCE, discontinue e-cigarette use, switch to use other nicotine pro
