Prevalence of use of e-cigarettes among youth
1
and adults
2
in the U.S. continues to rise, and flavored tobacco product use is associated with
initiation and subsequent use of tobacco products.

However, little data exist on whether flavored e-cigarettes are associated with cigarette-cessation
behaviors,

including attempting to quit cigarette smoking and quit success among those who attempt
to quit,

although Buu et al.

found that among exclusive cigarette smokers, using flavored e-cigarettes 1 year
later was associated with lower quantity of cigarette smoking. This study uses U.S.
nationally representative data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health
(PATH) Study to report on e-cigarette flavor use among adult past 30–day dual users
of e-cigarettes and cigarettes and to longitudinally evaluate the relationship between
flavor use and attempting to quit cigarette smoking approximately 1 year later.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
