在过去的十年中，电子烟（EC）的使用呈指数级增长，包括从不吸烟者，EC现在是美国青少年中最受欢迎的烟草产品。虽然EC制造商利用许多营销策略来针对吸烟者和非吸烟者，但目前还不清楚这两个群体之间的观念和行为有何不同。我们通过在线调查或在巴尔的摩电子烟商店对320名成年人进行了调查，以确定使用电子烟的人口统计数据、行为、看法和动机。我们的调查受访者主要是年轻的白人男性，其中74%的人认为自己是前吸烟者，20%的人认为自己是当前吸烟者，6%的人从不吸烟。前吸烟者报告的EC使用史较长，尼古丁浓度高于当前吸烟者。对于以前和现在的吸烟者，使用EC的主要动机是帮助戒烟，近一半的人表示他们计划降低尼古丁浓度并最终戒烟。在前吸烟者中，使用情况和依赖性测量的自我报告与尼古丁替代作为他们的主要动机一致。大多数曾经和现在的吸烟者还报告说，他们的呼吸系统健康由于使用氨基甲酸乙酯而得到改善，尽管这种效果对曾经吸烟者来说更强。从未吸烟者报告较少的EC使用和依赖性相比，以前和现在的吸烟者。他们使用的动机更常见的是享受和流行，他们表现出最终放弃使用EC的愿望减少。这些反应提供了深入了解吸烟和不吸烟的电子商务用户的基本思想和行为，也表明从不吸烟的电子商务用户是一个新兴的人口与不同的动机和看法比那些当前和以前的吸烟者。
The use of electronic cigarettes (EC) has risen exponentially over the past decade, including among never smokers, and ECs are now the most popular tobacco product among teenagers in the US. While, EC manufacturers utilize numerous marketing strategies to target both smokers and non-smokers, it is unclear how perceptions and behaviors differ between these two groups. We conducted a survey of 320 adults either via online surveys or in Baltimore vape shops to determine demographics, behaviors, perceptions, and motivations underlying use of ECs. Our survey respondents were predominantly young, Caucasian males, 74% of whom identified themselves as former smokers, while 20% identified as current smokers and 6% were never smokers. Former smokers reported a longer history of EC use and higher nicotine concentrations than current smokers. For former and current smokers, the primary motivation for EC use was assistance to quit smoking, and nearly half indicated that they plan to reduce their nicotine concentration and eventually quit using ECs. Among former smokers, self-reports on use and measures of dependence were consistent with nicotine replacement as their primary motivation. The majority of former and current smokers also reported that their respiratory health had improved as a result of EC use, although this effect was stronger for former smokers. Never smokers reported less frequent EC use and dependence compared to former and current smokers. Their motivations for use were more commonly for enjoyment and popularity, and they displayed a reduced desire to eventually quit using ECs. These responses provide insight into the underlying thoughts and behaviors of smoking and non-smoking EC users and also suggest that never smoking EC users are an emerging demographic with different motivations and perceptions than those of current and former smokers.
