To evaluate whether awareness, ever use, and current use of electronic cigarettes vary significantly across different sociodemographic groups.
Systematic review of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies indexed across seven electronic databases and grey literature sources without date or geographical restrictions.
Included studies analyzing e-cigarette use patterns across PROGRESS Plus sociodemographic categories, with study quality assessed using an adapted Joanna Briggs Institute tool and summarized via narrative synthesis.
Awareness, ever use, and current use of e-cigarettes are predominantly higher among males, older adolescents, younger adults, and individuals of white ethnicity.
Higher educational attainment corresponds with greater e-cigarette awareness and ever use, though specific patterns vary both within and across national borders.
