===2021: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34002223/ Differences in Switching Away From Smoking Among Adult Smokers Using JUUL Products in Regions With Different Maximum Nicotine Concentrations: North America and the United Kingdom]===
*In this longitudinal study of N.Am. and UK smokers who purchased JUUL, switch rates were higher in the N.Am. users, where smokers were using higher nicotine concentrations. The results were robust to multiple adjustments for differences between the two nicotine concentration policy regions across different statistical approaches, including PSM on relevant observable characteristics. These results have implications for regulatory policy, as the availability of ENDS with nicotine concentrations greater than 20 mg/mL may facilitate switching away from cigarette among adult smokers.
