Smoking and E-Cigarette Use Among U.S. Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With concerns about tobacco use being a risk factor for severe disease from COVID-19, understanding nicotine- and tobacco-use patterns is important for preventive efforts. This study aims to understand changes in combustible cigarette and E-cigarette use among U.S. adults.

Methods

In August 2020, a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sample of adults aged ≥18 years in the National Opinion Research Center's AmeriSpeak Panel who reported past 6-month use of combustible cigarettes or E-cigarettes was conducted. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the factors associated with increased product use and quit attempts since hearing about COVID-19.

Results

A total of 1,024 past 6-month cigarette smokers/E-cigarette users were surveyed. Amo
