To assess whether the late 2019 US outbreak of pulmonary disease linked to vaping [“E-cigarette, or Vaping, product use Associated Lung Injury” (EVALI)] impacted online shopping queries for vaping products and IQOS heated tobacco. We tracked online shopping queries for vape(s), JUUL and IQOS by analyzing rates of Google queries indicative of shopping (e.g., buy IQOS) after news of the outbreak was first reported (the week of July 29, 2019) until hospitalizations ceased (the week of February 16, 2020). We compared observed rates of shopping during the outbreak to counterfactual expected rates that were predicted using an autoregressive iterative moving average model fit to queries from January 1, 2014 to the week of July 21, 2019. During the outbreak, vape shopping queries were 34% (95%CI: 30–38) lower than expected and JUUL shopping queries were 39% (95%CI: 34–45) lower than expected, translating into about 7.2 million and 1.0 million fewer searches. IQOS shopping queries were 58% (95%PI: 34–87) higher than expected, translating into 35 thousand more searches. Moreover, IQOS shopping queries reached a historic high the week they were discussed as a potentially safe alternative to vaping (the week of September 29, 2019), when they were 382% (95%PI: 219–881) above expected rates for the week. These results suggest that unplanned events, such as the EVALI outbreak, can provoke changes in the epidemiology of product usage. Tobacco companies should be prohibited from using events such as disease outbreaks to position their products as less harmful without prior approval.
