Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has become increasingly common among combustible cigarette users, and dual use may represent a more severe type of nicotine addiction. Experiencing pain is one prevalent domain that may be important to understand quit processes and behavior among dual users. Although most past research on pain and nicotine/tobacco has focused on combustible cigarette use, initial work on e-cigarette users has found that greater pain severity is associated with higher levels of dependence and negative thinking patterns about e-cigarette use. Yet, there has been no effort to explore the experience of pain among dual users in terms of perceived barriers for quitting combustibles or e-cigarettes. The present study sought to examine pain interference among dual combustible and e-cigarette users in terms of perceived barriers for quitting among 138 (45.9% female; = 35.96 years, = 7.16) adult dual users (i.e., users of both combustible cigarette and e-cigarettes). Hierarchical linear regression models indicated that pain interference was significantly associated with both perceived barriers for cessation of combustible cigarettes and perceived barriers for cessation of e-cigarettes. Overall, the present investigation served as an initial evaluation of the role of pain interference in terms of perceived barriers for quitting combustible and e-cigarettes among adult daily dual users.

电子烟（e-cigarette）的使用在可燃香烟使用者中变得越来越普遍，双重使用可能代表着更严重的尼古丁成瘾类型。体验疼痛是一个普遍的领域，对于理解双重使用者的戒烟过程和行为可能很重要。尽管过去大多数关于疼痛和尼古丁/烟草的研究都集中在可燃香烟使用上，但对电子烟使用者的初步研究发现，疼痛严重程度与更高的依赖程度和对电子烟使用的消极思维模式有关。然而，尚未有研究试图从戒烟可燃香烟或电子烟的感知障碍方面探讨双重使用者的疼痛体验。本研究旨在探讨 138 名（45.9%为女性； = 35.96 岁， = 7.16）成年双重使用者（即同时使用可燃香烟和电子烟的使用者）在疼痛干扰方面的感知障碍与戒烟之间的关系。分层线性回归模型表明，疼痛干扰与戒烟可燃香烟和戒烟电子烟的感知障碍显著相关。总的来说，本研究初步评估了疼痛干扰在成年日常双重使用者戒烟可燃香烟和电子烟的感知障碍方面的作用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
