*Most participants discussed using e-cigarette devices and flavors to either replace sensations similar to smoking combustible cigarettes (e.g., inhaling from a cylindrical object) or to distract themselves from cravings to smoke. E-cigarettes also were described by the majority of participants as useful for smoking cessation because they approximate combustible cigarette use, potentially reduce health-related harms, save money, and lead to reduced social stigma compared to smoking cigarettes. Those who reported shorter duration quit attempts shared e-cigarette product challenges, health concerns, needs for support. Study findings demonstrate the need for additional research on the factors that may increase the likelihood that using e-cigarettes will result in longer and sustained e-cigarette-based quit attempts among adults.

*This study found that the provision of NVPs for 12 weeks was associated with 7-day point prevalence tobacco smoking abstinence among 35% of a sample of PLHIV who smoked tobacco daily. These findings suggest that NVPs represent a potentially feasible and effective short-to-medium term tobacco smoking cessation aid and/or tobacco harm reduction strategy among PLHIV.
