Delay discounting and e-cigarette use: An investigation in current, former, and never cigarette smokers.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cigarette smokers show greater delay discounting (devaluation of delayed consequences) than non-smokers, suggesting that rapid devaluation of the future contributes to tobacco use through a mechanism in which tobacco-related health consequences are too delayed to discourage smoking. However, little work has quantified delay discounting in relation to electronic cigarette (EC) use, a tobacco product that many users believe to pose fewer negative health consequences than cigarettes. METHODS:We assessed discounting of delayed monetary rewards in a web-based sample of 976 participants, stratified by both EC use (current and never) and cigarette use (current, former, and never). RESULTS:Controlling for demographic variance, current EC users generally showed greater discounting than never EC users (p?=?.019). Current cigarette smokers also showed greater discounting than former and never smokers (p?
