电子烟在烟草控制领域引发了类似于六年前进入美国市场的瑞典鼻烟的争议。一些人认为电子烟有很大的潜力帮助吸烟者戒除普通香烟，而另一些人则认为电子烟应该被禁止，因为缺乏安全和功效数据。这项研究考察了来自美国的人口数据。美国人口调查使用了全国概率样本(N=10,041)(2012年2月24日至3月8日，在电视上出现任何主要的付费电子烟广告之前)。调查受访者被问及是否听说过电子烟，他们在哪里听说过电子烟，他们是否使用过电子烟或鼻烟，他们使用电子烟的频率，以及为什么使用电子烟。回答被加权以代表整个美国人口。75.4%的人报告说听说过电子烟。电视是最重要的信息来源，其次是“面对面对话”和“互联网”。约8.1%的人尝试过电子烟，1.4%的人目前正在使用电子烟。这些比率是鼻窦的两倍(分别为4.3%和0.8%)。在目前吸烟者中，32.2%的人尝试过电子烟，6.3%的人是目前的吸烟者。目前超过80%的电子烟使用者是非日常使用者。女性比男性更有可能尝试电子烟。那些尝试过电子烟的人比那些尝试过鼻烟的人更有可能报告他们的产品比普通香烟更安全(49.9%比10.8%)。几乎一半(49.5%)的当前吸烟者在未来容易使用电子烟。电子烟的普及率甚至在主要烟草公司进行任何推广之前就已经超过了鼻烟，这表明电子烟已经利用了吸烟者对潜在减害产品的直觉偏好，这可能是由于产品设计。未来几年，电子烟的使用可能会增加。
E-cigarettes have generated controversy in the tobacco control field similar to that of Swedish snus, which came to the U.S. market six years earlier. Some argue that e-cigarettes have great potential to help smokers quit regular cigarettes while others contend they should be banned for lack of safety and efficacy data. This study examined population data from the U.S. A U.S. population survey with a national probability sample (N=10,041) was conducted (February 24 to March 8, 2012, before any major paid advertisement of e-cigarettes appeared on television). Survey respondents were asked if they had heard about e-cigarettes, where they had heard about them, whether they had used e-cigarettes or snus, how often they used them, and why they used them. Responses were weighted to represent the entire U.S. population. A high proportion, 75.4%, reported having heard about e-cigarettes. Television ranked as the number one source of information, followed by “in-person conversation” and “Internet.” About 8.1% had tried e-cigarettes, and 1.4% were current users. These rates were twice those of snus (4.3% and 0.8%, respectively). Among current smokers, 32.2% had tried e-cigarettes, and 6.3% were current users. Over 80% of current e-cigarette users were non-daily users. Women were significantly more likely to have tried e-cigarettes than men. Those who had tried e-cigarettes were more likely than those who tried snus to report their products being safer than regular cigarettes (49.9% vs. 10.8%). Almost half (49.5%) of current smokers were susceptible to using e-cigarettes in the future. That e-cigarettes have surpassed snus in adoption rate, even before any promotion by major tobacco companies, suggests that the former have tapped into smokers’ intuitive preference for potentially harm-reducing products, probably due to the product design. E-cigarette use is likely to increase in the next few years.
