Population study observes a shift toward more frequent vaping and less frequent smoking among dual users, highlighting changing nicotine consumption dynamics driven by younger demographics.
In England, vaping prevalence has increased rapidly among adults who smoke since 2021, which was when disposable e-cigarettes started to become popular. Since 2016, patterns of dual use have shifted away from more frequent smoking towards more frequent vaping. This may be the result of increasing prevalence of dual use among younger adults, who are more likely than older dual users to smoke non-daily and vape daily.
