type of e-cigarette (disposable) is more important than brand name

In 2021, type of e-cigarette (disposable) is more important than brand name | Park-Lee E, Ren C, Sawdey MD, et al. Notes from the Field: E-Cigarette Use Among Middle and High School Students — National Youth Tobacco Survey, United States, 2021. MMWR Weekly / October 1, 2021 / 70(39);1387–1389. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7039a4-H.pdf

“Among high school current e-cigarette users, 26.1% reported that their usual brand was Puff Bar, followed by Vuse (10.8%), SMOK (9.6%), JUUL (5.7%), and Suorin (2.3%). Among middle school current users, 30.3% reported that their usual brand was Puff Bar, and 12.5% reported JUUL. Notably, 15.6% of high school users and 19.3% of middle school users reported not knowing the e-cigarette brand they usually used.”

Comment: In the US, trending popularity appears to draw new users, not established brand name.
