Dual use of e-cigarettes with conventional tobacco is associated with increased sleep latency in cross-sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: The health effects of e-cigarettes remain relatively unknown, including their impact on sleep quality. We previously showed in a pilot study that females who smoke both conventional tobacco and vape e-cigarettes (dual users) had decreased sleep quality (measurement of how well an individual is sleeping) and increased sleep latency (amount of time to fall asleep), suggesting an influence by gender. Cough is also known to adversely impact sleep quality and may be caused by inhalant use. As a result, we undertook this study to assess the impact of e-cigarette, conventional tobacco, and dual use on sleep quality, sleep latency, cough, and drug use. Participants (n = 1198) were recruited through online surveys posted to social media sites with a monetary incentive. Participants were grouped by
