*Health benefits associated with completely switching from smoking to vaping and the effectiveness of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid are supported by a growing body of evidence. In this study of adults who smoked cigarettes, non-Hispanic Black adults, Hispanic adults, and adults with lower SES were less likely to switch to exclusive e-cigarette use. Findings may relate to perceptions in these populations that e-cigarettes are equally or more harmful than cigarettes. Disparities in e-cigarette use as a cessation tool could have impacts on population-level cigarette smoking disparities. | *Health benefits associated with completely switching from smoking to vaping and the effectiveness of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid are supported by a growing body of evidence.

*Findings from this nationally representative study further our understanding of youths’ perceptions of nicotine. Lower perceptions of the harm of nicotine in cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and NRT were all associated with higher odds of currently using any tobacco product, e-cigarettes, cigarettes, or cigars about one year later. These findings are consistent with the possibility that greater harm perceptions of nicotine are potentially both protective (preventing initiation among youth who do not use tobacco) and harmful (preventing youth who use combustible tobacco from switching to NRT). This underscores the challenge of developing effective and comprehensive communication strategies that accurately communicate the effects of nicotine without encouraging tobacco use. | |||
