简介:PAX Labs的电子烟JUUL已经占领了电子烟市场70%的份额。目前的研究调查了美国成年人的大量便利样本中的 JUUL 使用模式和开始使用 JUUL 的原因。方法:受访者是在 Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) 上注册的 979 名美国成年人,他们报告曾使用过 JUUL。项目包括 JUUL 使用频率/数量、尝试 JUUL 的原因、口味偏好以及其他烟草产品的使用。 结果:大多数参与者报告只尝试 JUUL 一两次 (59.5%),29.2% 报告定期非日常使用,10.3% 报告每天使用。整个样本中 JUUL 烟弹的平均使用量较低(每月 4 个烟弹)。日常用户报告每月使用大约 10 个烟弹,每天进行 4-9 次单独的电子烟使用。最常报告的使用 JUUL 的原因是因为朋友在使用它(26.5%)、好奇心(20.5%)和与香烟相似(7.7%)。大约 26% 的当前 JUUL 用户表示目前只使用 JUUL,而 56% 的用户表示同时使用 JUUL 和另一种电子烟。在整个样本中,37.1% 是前吸烟者。其中,14.9% 是日常 JUUL 用户,21.4% 是非日常 JUUL 用户,63.8% 是 JUUL 试用者。 结论:这是第一项研究市场上最受欢迎的电子烟的使用模式和原因的研究。在这个便利样本中,近 40% 曾经尝试过 JUUL 的人报告说目前每天或每天都在使用。与上一代电子烟相比,JUUL 的使用可能与有限的吸烟模式有关。与其他电子烟相比,需要进行研究来调查 JUUL 吸食模式是否会减少潜在有害的非尼古丁电子烟液成分的暴露。
Introduction: JUUL, an e-cigarette from PAX Labs, has captured 70% of the e-cigarette market. The current study examines JUUL use patterns and reasons for initiation in a large convenience sample of U.S. adults.Methods: Respondents were 979 U.S. adults registered on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) who reported ever using JUUL. Items included frequency/quantity of JUUL use, reasons for trying JUUL, flavor preferences, and use of other tobacco products.Results: The majority of participants reported only trying JUUL once or twice (59.5%), 29.2% reported regular nondaily use and 10.3% reported daily use. The average quantity of JUUL pod use was low in the overall sample (4 pods per month). Daily users reported using similar to 10 pods per month and engaging in 4-9 separate vaping sessions per day. The most frequently reported reasons for JUUL use were because friends were using it (26.5%), curiosity (20.5%), and similarity to a cigarette (7.7%). Approximately 26% of current JUUL users reported current exclusive JUUL use, while 56% reported using JUUL and another e-cigarette. Of the entire sample, 37.1% were former smokers. Of those, 14.9% were daily JUUL users, 21.4% were nondaily JUUL users, and 63.8% were JUUL triers.Conclusions: This is the first study to examine patterns and reasons for use of the most popular e-cigarette on the market. In this convenience sample, nearly 40% of those who ever tried JUUL reported current daily or daily use. JUUL use may be associated with limited puffing patterns compared to earlier generation e-cigarettes. Research is needed to investigate if JUUL puffing patterns result in decreased exposure to potentially harmful non-nicotine e-liquid constituents compared to other e-cigarettes.
