Identifying as a man, identifying as Black, having a high school diploma or GED, and current e-cigarette use were associated with endorsing more positive e-cigarette user perceptions. Identifying as a woman, identifying as Black or multiracial, and higher levels of education (more than a high school diploma or GED), and not currently using an e-cigarette use were associated with more negative e-cigarette user perceptions. Being younger was associated with positive and negative e-cigarette user perceptions. E-cigarette use has increased in recent years. Military personnel have higher rates of e-cigarette use than civilian populations, with 15.3% of Air Force recruits using e-cigarettes. The current study assessed associations between perceptions of e-cigarette users and current use of e-cigarettes, and differences in sociodemographic characteristics to determine if there were different beliefs among different groups to inform intervention development among these straight-to-work young adults. Participants (N = 17,314) were United States Air Force Airmen (60.7% White, 29.7% women) who completed a survey during their first week of Technical Training. Regression results indicated that identifying as a man (B = 0.22, SE = 0.02), identifying as Black (B = 0.06, SE = 0.02), reporting younger age (B = -0.15, SE = 0.02), having less education (B = -0.04, SE = 0.02), and current e-cigarette use (B = 0.62, SE = 0.02) were associated with endorsing more positive e-cigarette user perceptions. Identifying as a woman (B = -0.04, SE = 0.02) and being younger (B = -0.06, SE = 0.02) were associated with endorsing more negative perceptions of e-cigarette users. Current e-cigarette use was inversely associated with negative e-cigarette user perceptions (B = -0.59, SE = 0.02). Differences across groups were found for individual e-cigarette user characteristics. Future intervention strategies among Airmen may benefit from addressing e-cigarette user perceptions to change use behaviors, as these perceptions may result in stigmatized beliefs related to e-cigarette users.
