This study examined the relationship between use patterns of a popular e-cigarette brand using nicotine salts, JUUL, and symptoms of nicotine dependence in a college cohort.
Data for this study came from a prospective cohort of undergraduate students at a large Midwestern university from 2018 to 2019.
Among participants who had ever tried a JUUL ( = 411), univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to test the associations between use frequency (past 30-day use) and quantity (time to finish a pod) and nicotine dependence at follow up.
In the multivariable models, both frequency of use and quantity of use were associated with subsequent nicotine dependence, based on most indicators of dependence.
As salt-based nicotine is now present in the most popular e-cigarette brands used by young people, such findings inform our contemporary understanding of e-cigarettes' addictive potential and can help inform campus-based interventions.
本研究调查了在一个大学生队列中,使用含尼古丁盐的流行电子烟品牌JUUL的使用模式与尼古丁依赖症状之间的关系。
本研究的数据来自2018年至2019年美国中西部一所大型大学的本科生前瞻性队列。
在曾经试用过JUUL的参与者(n = 411)中,使用单变量和多变量逻辑回归来测试使用频率(过去30天的使用情况)和使用量(用完一个烟弹的时间)与随访时尼古丁依赖之间的关联。
在多变量模型中,基于大多数依赖指标,使用频率和使用量均与随后的尼古丁依赖有关。
由于盐基尼古丁目前存在于年轻人使用的最流行的电子烟品牌中,这些发现有助于我们当代对电子烟成瘾潜力的理解,并可为校园干预提供参考。
