目前缺乏关于常规电子烟使用以及从实验到常规使用过渡的全国代表性数据。这项研究调查了2014年至2017年欧洲这些方面的变化。数据来自2014年（n = 27，801）和2017年（n = 27，901）成人烟草调查特别欧洲晴雨表，提供了28个欧盟成员国的全国代表性调查。我们从电子烟使用频率的问题中将定期使用电子烟定义为每天或每周使用。在电子烟的使用者中，我们评估了成为常规使用者的社会人口统计学相关性。2014年，1.5%的欧盟人口经常使用电子烟，2017年上升到1.8%。2017年，6300万15岁或以上的欧洲人曾经使用过电子烟（95% CI，5990万-6620万），760万（95% CI，650万-890万）是电子烟的常规使用者。在曾经使用过电子烟的人中，15-24岁的参与者比年龄>= 55岁的参与者更不可能经常使用电子烟（16.9%比38.1%），与当前和以前的吸烟者相比，从不吸烟者（12.8%比27.0%比41.3%）。2017年，经常使用电子烟的成年人比例从英国的4.7%到保加利亚的0.2%不等。在欧盟，经常使用电子烟的人数比例略有上升，这在成员国之间差异很大，表明区域环境在支持或阻止电子烟使用方面的作用。
There is a lack of nationally representative data on regular e-cigarette use, as well as on the transition from experimentation to regular use. This study examines changes in these in Europe between 2014 and 2017. Data come from the 2014 (n = 27,801) and 2017 (n = 27,901) adult Special Eurobarometer for Tobacco Survey, providing nationally representative surveys of 28 EU member states. We defined regular use of e-cigarettes as daily or weekly use from a question on frequency of e-cigarette use. Among ever users of e-cigarettes we assessed socio-demographic correlates of becoming a regular user. 1.5% of the EU population were regular e-cigarette users in 2014, which had risen to 1.8% in 2017. In 2017 63 million Europeans aged 15 or older had ever used e-cigarettes (95% CI, 59.9 million-66.2 million), and 7.6 million (95% CI, 6.5million-8.9 million) were regular e-cigarette users. Among those who had ever used e-cigarettes, participants aged 15-24 years were less likely to be regular user than those aged >= 55 years (16.9% vs. 38.1%), as were never smokers compared with current and former smokers (12.8% vs. 27.0% vs. 41.3%). The proportion of adults who were regular e-cigarette users in 2017 ranged from 4.7% in the UK to 0.2% in Bulgaria. There have been slight rises in the proportion of people regularly using e-cigarettes in the EU, and this varies considerably between member states, indicating the role of the regional environment in supporting or deterring e-cigarette use.
