Adverse Outcomes Associated with E-cigarette Device Type Among Youth and Young Adults: A Pooled Analysis Across 3 Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science

Centers and Institutes

The goal of this project is to evaluate the association of e-cigarette device type with symptoms of nicotine dependence, progression to more frequent e-cigarette use, initiation of other tobacco product use, and adverse respiratory health symptoms.

Project Aims

    Aim 1

    To evaluate the association of e-cigarette device type with symptoms of nicotine dependence using combined cross-sectional data from all three centers.

    Aim 2

    To evaluate the association of e-cigarette device type with progression to more frequent e-cigarette use and with initiation of other tobacco product use (including dual/polytobacco product use) using combined prospective data.

    Aim 3

    To evaluate the association of e-cigarette device type (vape pen vs. mod vs. JUUL or other pod products) with adverse respiratory health symptoms (e.g., symptoms of asthma or bronchitis) using combined cross-sectional data.
