本文确定了试验和当前使用的预测因素，以及在年轻人中尝试和停止使用电子烟（电子烟）的原因，特别关注以前和从未吸烟者。数据来自一项针对美国三个大都市地区18至35岁成年人（N = 4740）的基于人口的抽样邮件调查。调查项目评估了电子烟的试用和使用，吸烟状况以及试用和停止使用电子烟的原因。近23%的人报告了电子烟的试用，8.4%的人报告在过去一个月使用过电子烟。目前吸烟者尝试电子烟的可能性（70.2%）比以前（32.3%）和从不吸烟者（7.6%; p < 0.001）更高，并且在过去一个月内使用过它们（分别为30.8%，10.1%，2.0%; p < 0.001）。吸烟状况和感觉寻求得分是试验和当前使用电子烟的重要独立预测因素。从不吸烟者将好奇心作为尝试电子烟的原因，并且他们的朋友也使用它们。从不吸烟者和曾经吸烟者停止使用的最常见原因是健康问题。因为几乎没有人是第一次接触尼古丁的电子烟。
This paper identifies predictors of trial and current use, and reasons for trying and ceasing use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among young adults, with particular attention to former and never smokers. Data are from a mail survey of a population-based sample of adults aged 18 to 35 (N = 4740) in three U.S. metropolitan areas. Survey items assessed trial and use of e-cigarettes, cigarette smoking status, and reasons for trial and for ceasing use of e-cigarettes. Almost 23% reported trial of e-cigarettes, and 8.4% reported using them in the past month. Current smokers were much more likely to have tried e-cigarettes (70.2%) than both former (32.3%) and never smokers (7.6%; p < 0.001) and to have used them in the past month (30.8%, 10.1%, 2.0% respectively; p < 0.001). Smoking status and scores on sensation seeking were significant independent predictors of both trial and current use of e-cigarettes. Never-smokers cite curiosity as the reason for trying e-cigarettes and also that their friends used them. The most frequent reason for ceasing use among never and former smokers was health concerns. For virtually none of them were e-cigarettes their first exposure to nicotine.
