*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. | *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.

*Smokers who switch to nicotine salt pod system e-cigarettes maintain their nicotine levels and transfer their dependence, suggesting that nicotine salt pod system e-cigarettes have a similar reinforcement potential to cigarettes and facilitate switching. | |||
