BACKGROUND
Research that comprehensively documents preferences for different types of novel nicotine products in Australia is lacking, making it difficult for policymakers to determine where public health efforts should be focused. This study thus sought to explore Australian adolescent and adult e-cigarette users' preferences for different types of e-cigarettes and e-liquids. Purchasing behaviours and sources of e-liquid were also examined.
METHODS
An online survey was administered to 4,617 Australians aged 12 + years, 636 of whom had used an e-cigarette in the last 30 days and were the focus of this study. Among users, 45% also smoked tobacco cigarettes, 41% were non-smokers, and 14% had never smoked.
RESULTS
The majority (82%) of e-cigarette users surveyed reported using nicotine-containing e-liquid in their devices. Fewer (60%) reported using non-nicotine e-liquid. The preference for nicotine over non-nicotine e-liquid was observed among all age and smoking groups. Most users (89%) reported using flavoured e-liquids, with adolescents (96%) significantly more likely than young adults (90%) and adults aged 25 + years (85%) to report using such e-liquids. Fruit flavours were the most popular among all subgroups. In terms of device type, disposable e-cigarettes were the most common product used among almost all groups; the exception being adults aged 25 + years who preferred systems with refillable tanks. Friends and tobacco retailers were the most frequently nominated sources of nicotine e-liquid among adolescents and young adults. Among adults aged 25 + years, tobacco retailers and the Internet were the most frequently nominated sources of these products.
CONCLUSION
Disposable e-cigarettes with flavoured, nicotine-containing e-liquid are popular among users of the devices, including adolescents. Measures that restrict the accessibility and availability of flavoured e-liquids and disposable e-cigarettes, and greater enforcement of laws regarding the sale and importation of nicotine e-liquids, are urgently needed to protect youth and never smokers from these products.
背景
缺乏全面记录澳大利亚不同类型新型尼古丁产品偏好的研究，这使得政策制定者难以确定公共卫生工作的重点应放在何处。因此，本研究旨在探讨澳大利亚青少年和成年电子烟使用者对不同类型电子烟和电子烟液的偏好。还检查了购买行为和电子烟液的来源。
方法
对 4617 名年龄在 12 岁及以上的澳大利亚人进行了在线调查，其中 636 人在过去 30 天内使用过电子烟，是本研究的重点。在使用者中，45%的人同时吸烟，41%的人不吸烟，14%的人从未吸烟。
结果
在接受调查的电子烟使用者中，大多数（82%）人报告在设备中使用含尼古丁的电子烟液。使用非尼古丁电子烟液的人较少（60%）。所有年龄和吸烟组都观察到对尼古丁电子烟液的偏好超过非尼古丁电子烟液。大多数用户（89%）报告使用调味电子烟液，青少年（96%）明显比年轻成年人（90%）和 25 岁及以上成年人（85%）更有可能报告使用此类电子烟液。水果味在所有亚组中最受欢迎。就设备类型而言，一次性电子烟在几乎所有群体中都是最常用的产品；25 岁及以上成年人是个例外，他们更喜欢可再填充罐的系统。朋友和烟草零售商是青少年和年轻成年人中尼古丁电子烟液最常被提名的来源。在 25 岁及以上的成年人中，烟草零售商和互联网是这些产品最常被提名的来源。
结论
包括青少年在内，一次性电子烟和含有尼古丁的调味电子烟液在使用者中很受欢迎。急需采取措施限制调味电子烟液和一次性电子烟的可及性和可用性，并加强对尼古丁电子烟液销售和进口的执法，以保护青年人和不吸烟者免受这些产品的侵害。
