In this study, we examined complete switching away from cigarettes across various medico-socio-demographic subpopulations of adult smokers who purchased a JUUL Starter Kit (JSK) electronic nicotine delivery system. We analyzed trajectories of smoking over 12 months in 17,986 adult smokers who purchased a JSK. Populations of special interest were characterized by race/ethnicity, income, diagnoses of potentially smoking-related illness (SRI), depression, and anxiety. Across all 16 subgroups examined, a consistent pattern of trends was observed where complete switching increased, and dual-use decreased over time. Non-Hispanic Asian race/ethnicity, low income, diagnoses of potential SRI, depression, and anxiety were associated with significantly lower switching rates; however, complete switching rates at month 12 were near 50% for all groups, and surpassed the dual-use rates in all subgroups except for those with potential SRI. Substantial rates of complete switching were consistently achieved across all medico-socio-demographic subgroups 12 months following the purchase of the JSK. The potential benefits of switching with JUUL on smokers are likely to be experienced by a wide range of adult smokers.
在这项研究中，我们研究了在购买 JUUL 入门套装（JSK）的成年吸烟者的各种医学社会人口统计学亚群中，完全放弃香烟的情况。我们分析了 17986 名购买 JSK 的成年吸烟者在 12 个月内的吸烟轨迹。特别关注的人群包括种族/民族、收入、可能与吸烟相关的疾病（SRI）、抑郁和焦虑的诊断。在所有 16 个被检查的亚组中，观察到一个一致的趋势，即完全转换的比例增加，而双重使用的比例随着时间的推移而下降。非西班牙裔亚洲种族/民族、低收入、潜在 SRI 诊断、抑郁和焦虑与较低的转换率显著相关；然而，在所有亚组中，除了那些有潜在 SRI 的亚组外，所有亚组在第 12 个月的完全转换率都接近 50%，超过了双重使用率。在购买 JSK 后的 12 个月内，所有医学社会人口统计学亚组都实现了相当高的完全转换率。JUUL 切换对吸烟者的潜在好处可能会被广泛的成年吸烟者所体验到。
