This study sought to determine if the declining trend in U.S. youth cigarette
smoking changed after e-cigarettes were introduced, and if youth e-cigarette users
would have been likely to smoke cigarettes based on psychosocial and
demographic predictors of smoking. The introduction of e-cigarettes was
followed by a slowing decline in current cigarette smoking, a stall in combined
cigarette and e-cigarette use, and an accelerated decline in ever cigarette
smoking. Together, these findings indicate that youths’ exposure to nicotine is
expanding through the use of new products, thereby contributing to nicotine
dependence among youth. Traditional psychosocial risk factors for cigarette
smoking suggest that e-cigarette users do not fit the traditional risk profile
of cigarette smokers.
