Vape shops have proliferated in the United States (US) in recent years. As of May 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asserted its authority to regulate electronic nicotine delivery systems. It is critical to understand how these polices have affected the vape shop industry, as the rise and fall of vape shop proliferation has the potential for influencing public health.
In this longitudinal study, we examined factors associated with vape shop (N = 77) closure over a 2-1/2-year period in southern California. We assessed predictors of vape shops going out of business using a multivariate logistic regression model.
Among 77 vape shops assessed at baseline, 44.2% closed over a 2-1/2-year period. The absence of a "bar type" physical environment (OR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.12-6.20), poorer shop accessibility (OR = 7.11, 95% CI = 1.17-43.24), fewer reports of qualified personnel (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.12-4.64), less average time spent in shop by customers (OR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.18-19.60), a narrower e-liquid flavor selection (OR = 6.55, 95% CI = 1.56-27.49), and less vape device diversity (OR = 2.36, 95% C = 1.13-4.91) predicted vape shop closure.
The rise and subsequent decline in vape shops could potentially affect public health. However, there needs to be more research on their association with public health..
近年来,电子烟商店在美国大量涌现。截至2016年5月,美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)宣称其有权监管电子尼古丁输送系统。了解这些政策如何影响电子烟商店行业至关重要,因为电子烟商店的兴衰可能会影响公众健康。
在这项纵向研究中,我们调查了南加州77家电子烟商店在两年半时间内关闭的相关因素。我们使用多元逻辑回归模型评估电子烟商店倒闭的预测因素。
在基线评估的77家电子烟商店中,44.2%在两年半内关闭。缺乏“酒吧式”物理环境(比值比[OR]=2.64,95%置信区间[CI]=1.12 - 6.20)、店铺可达性较差(OR = 7.11,95% CI = 1.17 - 43.24)、合格人员报告较少(OR = 2.28,95% CI = 1.12 - 4.64)、顾客在店内平均停留时间较短(OR = 4.8,95% CI = 1.18 - 19.60)、电子烟液口味选择较窄(OR = 6.55,95% CI = 1.56 - 27.49)以及电子烟设备种类较少(OR = 2.36,95% CI = 1.13 - 4.91)可预测电子烟商店关闭。
电子烟商店的兴起及随后的衰落可能会影响公众健康。然而,关于它们与公众健康之间的关联还需要更多研究。
