The association between frequency of e-cigarette use and long-term smoking cessation outcomes among treatment-seeking smokers receiving a behavioral intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A growing body of literature suggests daily, but not non-daily, e-cigarette use is associated with greater odds of quitting combustible cigarettes in the general adult population. However, it is unknown if these findings generalize to treatment-seeking smokers who are receiving a behavioral intervention.

Methods

Participants (N = 2637) enrolled in a RCT of web-based smoking treatments reported their use of e-cigarettes at baseline, 3-, and 6-months. Three groups were created based on e-cigarette use: (1) non-users, (2) intermittent users, and (3) daily users. Th
