目的：我们探讨了对电子烟（电子烟）的信念以及社会对直接上班（STW）年轻人使用电子烟的影响。方法：对30名1931岁的STW青年进行访谈。我们询问了参与者关于吸烟和电子烟使用，对电子烟的信念以及对使用电子烟决定的影响。我们在社区地点进行了采访，并使用NVivo进行了转录和编码。结果：我们确定了4个主题：使用电子烟的好处;双重使用/继续吸烟;社会影响;戒烟和电子烟。STW年轻人开始使用电子烟戒烟，但大多数人成为双重用户或报告吸烟和电子烟使用的周期。口味是电子烟用户的主要吸引力。家人和朋友支持使用电子烟，并经常为参与者提供他们的第一支电子烟。大多数不再被认定为吸烟者的参与者仍然偶尔吸烟。使用者认为，当他们使用电子烟时，其他人对他们的看法更积极，但仍然被视为吸烟者或前吸烟者。结论：电子烟的使用可能会使STW年轻人更接近他们不吸烟的理想身份，但许多人可能会因为双重使用而容易复吸或增加对尼古丁的依赖。
Objective: We explored beliefs about electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) as well as social influences on e-cigarette use in straight-to-work (STW) young adults. Methods: Thirty interviews were conducted with STW young adults ages 1931 years old. We asked participants about smoking and e-cigarette use, beliefs about e-cigarettes, and influences on decisions to use e-cigarettes. We conducted interviews in community locations and transcribed and coded them using NVivo. Results: We identified 4 themes: benefits of e-cigarette use; dual use/continued smoking; social influences; and quitting smoking and e-cigarettes. STW young adults initiated e-cigarette use to quit smoking but most became dual users or reported cycles of smoking and e-cigarette use. Flavors were a primary attraction for e-cigarette users. Family and friends supported e-cigarette use and often provided participants with their first e-cigarette. Most participants who no longer identified as smokers still smoked occasionally. Users felt they were more positively perceived by others when they used e-cigarettes but were still seen as smokers or former smokers. Conclusions: E-cigarette use may bring STW young adults closer to their aspirational identity of non-smoker but many may be vulnerable to smoking relapse or increased dependence on nicotine through dual use.
