Survey analysis reveals doubling awareness and quadrupled use of electronic cigarettes among adults, highlighting rapid uptake without increased smoking cessation intentions.

Key Points

To assess awareness, ever use, and past-month use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) along with demographic and tobacco-use correlates among US adults.
Analyzed responses from the consumer-based mail-in ConsumerStyles survey administered to adults aged 18 and older in 2009 (N=10,587) and 2010 (N=10,328) in the USA.
Evaluated changes from 2009 to 2010 in ENDS awareness, lifetime ever use, and past-month use, stratified by demographic characteristics and smoking status.
Awareness of ENDS doubled from 16.4% in 2009 to 32.2% in 2010, while ever use quadrupled from 0.6% in 2009 to 2.7% in 2010.
Ever use of ENDS was most prevalent among women, individuals with lower educational attainment, and current tobacco users.
Smokers who had tried ENDS did not report plans to quit smoking more frequently than smokers who had never tried them.
