Electronic Cigarettes in Smoke-Free Spaces
Dunbar ZR, et al. Use of Electronic Cigarettes in Smoke-Free Spaces by Smokers: Results from the 2014–2015 US Population Assessment on Tobacco and Health Study. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2020 Feb; 17(3): 978. https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/3/978
“A population of ENDS/cigarette co-users (n = 2051) was drawn from Wave 2 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) dataset (2014–2015). Harm reduction beliefs and cessation behavior of co-users were investigated as predictors of ENDS use in public smoke-free places using logistic regression…. Fifty-eight percent of dual users reported past 30-day ENDS use in public smoke-free places.”
These self-reported findings suggest that use of ENDS in public places where cigarette use is prohibited is prevalent enough to be of concern for future regulation and enforcement efforts.”
