Journal Article
Impact of vaping introduction on cigarette smoking in six jurisdictions with varied regulatory approaches to vaping: an interrupted time series analysis
2022
Overview
ObjectiveWe sought to quantify the impact of vaping introduction on cigarette smoking across settings with varied regulatory approaches to vaping.DesignInterrupted time series analysis, adjusted for cigarette tax levels.SettingFour Canadian provinces, UK and Australia.ParticipantsEntire population of smokers in each country.InterventionsThe year that vaping was widely introduced in each country.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome is cigarette consumption per adult, and the secondary outcome is smoking prevalence among young adults.ResultsBased on allowable nicotine levels, restrictions on e-cigarette advertising, sales and access, and taxation, the least to most restrictive jurisdictions were, in order, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia (all in Canada), UK and Australia. In most, but not all, settings where higher nicotine content was permitted in vaping products (66 mg/mL), vaping introduction led to a reduction in cigarette consumption per capita (Ontario: p=0.037, Quebec: p=0.007) or in smoking prevalence among young adults (Alberta men, p=0.027; Quebec men, p=0.008; Quebec women, p=0.008). In the UK, where the maximum permitted nicotine content in vaping products was 20 mg/mL, vaping introduction slowed the declining trend in cigarette smoking among men aged 16–24 years (p=0.031) and 25–34 years (p=0.002) but not in cigarette consumption per adult. In Australia, where nicotine was not permitted in e-cigarettes, e-cigarette introduction slowed the declining trend in cigarette consumption per capita and in smoking prevalence among men aged 18–24 years (cigarette consumption: p=0.015, prevalence: p=0.044).ConclusionIn environments that enable substitution of cigarettes with e-cigarettes, e-cigarette introduction reduces overall cigarette consumption. Thus, to reduce cigarette smoking, policies that encourage adults to substitute cigarette smoking with vaping should be considered.
