“E-cigarette aerosol and cigarette smoke have different toxic profiles, making it likely that dual use is worse than smoking. Following Carpenter et al., (Effect of unguided e-cigarette provision on uptake, use, and smoking cessation among adults who smoke in the USA.), future studies of the association between e-cigarette use and cigarette smoking should report complete results, separating switchers and quitters and dual users. Continued e-cigarette use and dual use should be reported as adverse events.”
