MedPage Today (4/2, Gever) reported, “Most adults who reported using e-cigarettes indicated that they would like to stop, federal survey data indicated, but ratings of the strength of intention varied by their past histories with tobacco and, in general, were not especially high.” The researchers found that “among 1,988 self-identified e-cigarette users in wave 4 (conducted 2016-2018) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) survey, 1,194 (60.1%) said they planned to quit,” although “respondents’ mean ‘level of interest in quitting,’ which they ranked on a 10-point scale (with 10 the strongest), was just 3.9 overall (95% CI 3.8-4.1).” The findings were published in a JAMA Network Open research letter.
