Daily E-cigarette Use and the Surge in JUUL Sales: 2017-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To identify how the 2017 rapid surge in sales of JUUL e-cigarettes affected usage among US youth and young adults.

Methods

Annual surveys in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study assess tobacco use by product and brand among the US population. We identified 2 cohorts aged 14 to 34 years, 1 with baseline survey in 2014 before the rapid surge of JUUL and the other in 2017 as the surge in JUUL sales was occurring. For 5 age groups, we compared 2-year incidence of first tobacco use and of new-onset daily tobacco use by product, and report levels of dependence.

Results

Sociodemographic variables and rates of experimentation with any tobacco product were similar between cohorts. Among baseline nondaily tobacco users, only those aged 14 to 17 years
