Abstract:
To compare prevalence of e-cigarette and cigarette use and to determine predictors of dual use. Design, Setting, and Participants: Using a countywide random digit dial telephone health survey conducted during January 2018 to March 2019, we analyzed data from a random sample of 6966 adults. Bivariate analyses described vaping, cigarette use, and sociodemographics. A multivariable logistic regression model examined dual use. Results: Young adults 18 to 24 years of age had the highest prevalence of e-cigarette-only use (11.5%), the second-highest prevalence of dual use (3.9%), and the lowest prevalence of cigarette-only use (5.8%). Males were more likely than females to use e-cigarettes (5.1% vs 2.7%), traditional cigarettes (11.1% vs 6.9%), or be dual users (3.6% vs 1.1%). Of those who used e-cigarettes or both, approximately half had also used marijuana in the past 30 days. Conclusions: E-cigarette use among young adults is concerning because it could lead to eventual dual use of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes.
