Given that nicotine a primary mechanism which smoking negatively impacts health, e-cigarette may also be linked to poor health; however, no research has investigated this association.

All measures completed remotely via secure online survey. Analysis covariance was used compare the daily/non-daily users (a) non-users (b) combustible cigarettes. Gender drinks per week included as covariates in analyses. Current significantly more difficulties than never users. Users e-cigarettes greater medication Similar smoking, (vs. non-use) worse even among non-daily These findings indicate need for assessment education on role individuals who report experimentation current e-cigarettes. Future should examine these relationships prospectively.
