“…Our results show that the majority of disposable, pod-based, and mods/other e-cigarette past-30-day users in our sample show signs of nicotine dependence, at levels comparable to cigarette users. The proportion of AYA showing at least one sign of nicotine dependence was high (80.7-83.1%) among all types of e-cigarette devices, at levels slightly higher than previously published studies using the HONC [13] and other measures of nicotine dependence [27]. Furthermore, a small but concerning percentage of AYA past 30-day users endorsed serious nicotine dependence (9/9 HONC symptoms) to e-cigarettes.…”

“…Lastly, nicotine dependence was measured by self-report, and HONC scores do not constitute a clinical diagnosis of nicotine dependence. However, the HONC was chosen for its flexibility in application to other tobacco products, as seen in previous studies [16][17][18]21], and has been validated biochemically [13].…”

“…The Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) [12] is an instrument designed to determine the strength and onset of tobacco dependence, and has recently been biochemically validated for e-cigarettes [13]. While originally designed for adolescents, the HONC has since been evaluated for use in adults as well [14].…”

E-cigarettes, the most popular tobacco product among adolescents, vary widely in design and nicotine composition; thus, different devices may have different addictive potential. However, few studies examine levels of nicotine dependence across devices among adolescent and young adult (AYA) e-cigarette users. To assess the extent of nicotine dependence among US AYA (ages 13–24) by e-cigarette device type, we conducted a large, national, cross-sectional survey (n = 4351) and used the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) to assess levels of nicotine dependence among those who had used disposable, pod-based, and/or mods/other e-cigarette devices in the past 30 days. We also examined HONC scores among those who had used combustible cigarettes in the past 30 days, whether with or without using e-cigarettes. Patterns of nicotine dependence were comparable across those who had used a combustible cigarette and/or e-cigarette in the past 30 days, with 91.4% of combustible cigarette users, 80.7% of disposable e-cigarette users, 83.1% of pod-based e-cigarette users, and 82.5% of mods/other e-cigarette users showing signs of nicotine dependence, as measured by endorsing at least one HONC symptom. This pattern persisted when analyses were restricted to e-cigarette only users, with more than 70% of all e-cigarette only past-30-day users endorsing at least one HONC symptom, across all types of devices. A thorough understanding of the extent and presentation of nicotine dependence among AYA will help researchers, public health officials, and clinicians recognize and manage AYA nicotine dependence.
