*Results: During the outbreak, vape shopping queries were 34% (95% CI 30% to 38%) lower than expected and JUUL shopping queries were 39% (95% CI 34% to 45%) lower than expected, translating into about 7.2 and 1.0 million fewer searches. IQOS shopping queries were 58% (95% prediction interval (PI): 34-87) higher than expected, translating into 35 000 more searches. Moreover, IQOS shopping queries reached a historic high the week they were discussed as a potentially safe alternative to vaping (the week of 29 September 2019), when they were 382% (95% PI: 219-881) above expected rates for the week.

*Note from the Safer Nicotine Wiki team: EVALI during the time of this study was being incorrectly blamed on nicotine vapor products. IQOS is a heated tobacco product, not a traditional vapor product.

*Nonetheless, a sizable proportion of participants in our sample rated e-cigarettes as harmful and rated e-cigarettes as more or equivalently harmful as cigarettes. Our findings align with recent work in the general population demonstrating increases in perceived harm of e-cigarettes following EVALI

*This study provides longitudinal evidence that among adult smokers, misperceiving nicotine as a primary cause of smoking-related diseases may be associated with reduced cessation success and lower likelihood of using less harmful nicotine products. These misperceptions may therefore impede efforts to encourage smokers ready to quit to use evidence-based cessation support such as nicotine replacement during quit attempts and limit the success of policies designed to shift smokers to less harmful sources of nicotine.
