DescriptionOver 10 million adults report use of e-cigarettes, with approximately 3.6 million reporting daily use. Few studies to date have examined e-cigarette cessation interest and related behaviors among e-cigarette users. The current study aimed to describe past year attempts to stop or reduce e-cigarette use and to investigate individual characteristics and e-cigarette use characteristics associated with past year e-cigarette quit attempts using data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study Waves 2 and 3. On average, study participants had an e-cigarette dependence level of 1.9 out of 5 (95% CI [1.8, 2.0]), and reported an average of 19.9 days of e-cigarette use in the past month (95% CI [19.1, 20.7]). Over 25% of participants attempted to quit e-cigarettes in the past year (95% CI [24.0, 28.7]). The likelihood of attempting to quit e-cigarettes was associated with reporting problematic use of at least one non-nicotine substance (OR: 1.8; CI: 1.1, 2.8), higher e-cigarette dependence (OR: 1.3; CI: 1.1, 1.6) and higher interest in quitting e-cigarettes (OR: 1.2; CI: 1.2, 1.3). The current study adds support to claims that e-cigarette users want to quit vaping and highlights the need for continued research on e-cigarette cessation.
