To compare prevalence of e-cigarette and cigarette use and to determine predictors of dual use.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using a countywide random digit dial telephone health survey conducted during January 2018 to March 2019, we analyzed data from a random sample of 6966 adults. Bivariate analyses described vaping, cigarette use, and sociodemographics. A multivariable logistic regression model examined dual use.
Young adults 18 to 24 years of age had the highest prevalence of e-cigarette-only use (11.5%), the second-highest prevalence of dual use (3.9%), and the lowest prevalence of cigarette-only use (5.8%). Males were more likely than females to use e-cigarettes (5.1% vs 2.7%), traditional cigarettes (11.1% vs 6.9%), or be dual users (3.6% vs 1.1%). Of those who used e-cigarettes or both, approximately half had also used marijuana in the past 30 days.
E-cigarette use among young adults is concerning because it could lead to eventual dual use of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes.
比较电子烟和香烟的使用流行率，并确定双重使用的预测因素。
设计、地点和参与者：利用2018年1月至2019年3月进行的全县随机数字拨号电话健康调查，我们分析了6966名成年人随机样本的数据。双变量分析描述了电子烟使用、香烟使用和社会人口统计学情况。多变量逻辑回归模型检验了双重使用情况。
18至24岁的年轻人仅使用电子烟的流行率最高（11.5%），双重使用的流行率第二高（3.9%），仅使用香烟的流行率最低（5.8%）。男性比女性更有可能使用电子烟（5.1%对2.7%）、传统香烟（11.1%对6.9%）或成为双重使用者（3.6%对1.1%）。在使用电子烟或两者都使用的人群中，约有一半在过去30天内也使用过大麻。
年轻人使用电子烟令人担忧，因为这可能最终导致电子烟和传统香烟的双重使用。
