BACKGROUND
While e-cigarettes have been identified as an effective means of tobacco harm reduction, the degree to which these devices will realise their harm reduction potential will be determined in large part by how available these products are to adults who smoke. One of the key factors determining that availability is the regulatory regime around these products. Within the US e-cigarettes have become the most commonly used tobacco product by middle and high school students, with disposable e-cigarettes now the most popular type of device used by youth. In this paper, we report data on the prevalence with which one of the most popular disposable e-cigarettes within the US is being used by youth (aged 13-17) and underage young adults (aged 18-20).
METHODS
A cross-sectional online survey of a probability-based sample of 1215 youth (13-17 years) recruited via Ipsos' KnowledgePanel and 3370 young adults aged 18-24, among whom 1125 were aged 18-20, recruited via Ipsos' KnowledgePanel and online consumer research panels.
RESULTS
Among youth, 3.50% (95% CI: 2.46-4.83) reported smoking combustible cigarettes in the past 30 days, and 6.73% (95% CI: 5.26-8.48) reported using an e-cigarette in the past 30 days. Among underage young adults, 7.22% (95% CI: 5.24-9.67) reported smoking combustible cigarettes every day or some days, and 15.90% (95% CI: 12.96-19.21) reported using e-cigarettes every day or some days. Despite the scale of e-cigarette use in general among the US youth, only 0.04% (95% CI: 0.00-0.38) of 13-17 years old reported using the BIDI® Stick disposable e-cigarette in the past 30 days.
CONCLUSIONS
While disposable e-cigarettes have become the most popular type of e-cigarette used by the US youth, it is likely that the prevalence of use of individual devices varies significantly. There is a need to regularly monitor the use of e-cigarettes by type of device and brand, in order to determine which products have the greatest potential to reduce smoking-related harm among adults who smoke and which products are being used by youth and underage young adults.
背景
电子烟已被确定为减少烟草危害的有效手段，但这些产品在多大程度上实现其减少危害的潜力，在很大程度上取决于成年吸烟者对这些产品的可获得性。决定这种可获得性的一个关键因素是这些产品的监管制度。在美国，电子烟已成为中学生和高中生中最常用的烟草制品，一次性电子烟现在是年轻人中最受欢迎的设备类型。在本文中，我们报告了美国最受欢迎的一次性电子烟之一在青少年（13-17 岁）和未成年年轻人（18-20 岁）中的使用情况。
方法
通过 Ipsos 的知识面板对 1215 名青少年（13-17 岁）进行了一项基于概率的在线调查，对其中 3370 名年龄在 18-24 岁的年轻人进行了调查，其中 1125 名年龄在 18-20 岁，通过 Ipsos 的知识面板和在线消费者研究小组招募。
结果
在青少年中，3.50%（95%CI：2.46-4.83）报告在过去 30 天内吸过可燃香烟，6.73%（95%CI：5.26-8.48）报告在过去 30 天内使用过电子烟。在未成年年轻人中，7.22%（95%CI：5.24-9.67）报告每天或有时吸可燃香烟，15.90%（95%CI：12.96-19.21）报告每天或有时使用电子烟。尽管美国青少年普遍使用电子烟，但在过去 30 天内，只有 0.04%（95%CI：0.00-0.38）的 13-17 岁青少年报告使用了 BIDI® Stick 一次性电子烟。
结论
虽然一次性电子烟已成为美国青少年最受欢迎的电子烟类型，但不同类型电子烟的使用频率可能存在显著差异。需要定期监测不同类型设备和品牌的电子烟使用情况，以确定哪些产品最有潜力减少成年吸烟者的吸烟相关危害，以及哪些产品被青少年和未成年年轻人使用。
