E-cigarette users typically initiate vaping with flavored e-liquids. People who vape flavors tend to underestimate the harm of vaping. We examined the interrelationship between flavor preference, vaping for cessation purposes, e-cigarette dependence, e-cigarette harm perception and purchase/use intention, given a hypothetical flavor ban. We hypothesized that non-tobacco flavor preference and vaping for cessation would be negatively associated with harm perception of e-cigarettes and intention to continue vaping if a flavor ban occurred and that these effects would be mediated by e-cigarette dependence. From July 2019 to March 2020, we conducted intercept interviews with 276 customers at 44 vape shops in California. The predictor variables were flavor preference and vaping for cessation. The outcome variables were harm perception of e-cigarettes and intention to purchase/use given a hypothetical flavor ban. Multilevel structural equation modeling tested whether e-cigarette dependence mediates the effects of flavor preference on hypothetical continued vaping and purchase. Those who preferred flavors showed significantly lower intention to purchase e-liquids (β=−.28, p<.001) and to continue vaping (β=−.17, p=.001), given a hypothetical flavor ban. Those who vaped for smoking cessation indicated greater intention to purchase e-liquid (β=.10, p=.016) and to continue vaping (β=.17, p=.001) given a hypothetical flavor ban. E-cigarette dependence significantly mediated these effects (p’s<.04). Flavor preference was negatively related to intention to continue to vape within a hypothetical flavor ban. Our results also highlight the importance of e-cigarette dependence and use of e-cigarettes as smoking cessation methods. Implications for future flavor bans are discussed.
