“…It is not clear whether the witnesses were themselves e-cigarette users or smokers, but the survey respondents' reports are consistent with reported low levels of support in the general population for banning the use of e-cigarettes in smoke-free places. [7][8][9] Service venues and worksites were the most reported smokefree places where e-cigarettes were used for the first time. Although this may reflect their greater likelihood of frequenting these places, it is notable that these are also the places where tobacco control advocates had to work hardest to pass laws prohibiting cigarette smoking.…”

“…6 Support for bans on e-cigarette use in public places is substantially lower than for cigarette bans. Studies estimated that the proportion of adults supporting such bans for e-cigarettes were 30-45% during 2012-2014, [7][8][9] much lower than the 70-80% who supported smoke-free laws. 10 Regulating indoor e-cigarette use remains controversial.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] Use of e-cigarettes in smoke-free places might also make enforcement of smoke-free policies more difficult and adversely affect the social norms against smoking. 7-9 11 18 Despite ongoing debate and monitoring of public attitudes, [7][8][9] there are little empirical data about how many e-cigarette users have actually vaped in smoke-free environments and who they are. It is not clear if e-cigarette users think existing smoke-free policies apply to e-cigarettes, thus selfregulating their use in public spaces.…”

Use of electronic cigarettes in smoke-free environments

Background Although most U.S. states prohibit cigarette smoking in public places and worksites, fewer jurisdictions regulate indoor use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). Given the dramatic increase in e-cigarette use and concern about its impact on non-users, there is a need to examine the use of e-cigarettes in smoke-free environments and related attitudes and perceptions. Methods Recruited from a nationally representative adult panel (GfK’s KnowledgePanel), 952 current users of e-cigarettes completed a cross-sectional online survey in 2014. Multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to examine the factors associated with ever using e-cigarettes in smoke-free environments. Results Overall, 59.5% of e-cigarette users had vaped where cigarette smoking was not allowed. Young adults (18–29 years) were most likely to do so, 74.2%. The places of first-time use most often mentioned were service venues (bar, restaurant, lounge, and club), 30.7%, followed by worksites, 23.5%. Daily e-cigarette users were more likely to have vaped in smoke-free environments than non-daily users (OR=2.08, p=.012). Only 2.5% of those who used e-cigarettes in smoke-free environments reported negative reactions from other people. Most e-cigarette users did not think e-cigarettes are harmful to themselves or to by-standers, and thus should not be banned where smoking is; those who had used e-cigarettes where smoking is banned were even more likely to hold these views. Conclusions E-cigarette use in smoke-free environments was common, suggesting that most e-cigarette users do not consider smoke-free laws to apply to e-cigarettes. Explicit laws should be considered if jurisdictions want to prohibit e-cigarette use in public places.

“…13 GFK’s KnowledgePanel has been used for numerous studies about e-cigarettes to date including those on risk perceptions and knowledge, 7,14–16 information exposure, 17–19 and policy perceptions. 20,21 And while several studies have also used it to describe trends in e-cigarette awareness and use, 7,10,12,22,23 research using this data source on early e-cigarette experiences, reasons for discontinuation and future use intentions have been limited 9,12 (cites) and was the focus of this study.…”

Smokers' Early E-cigarette Experiences, Reasons for Use, and Use Intentions

et al. 2016

Objectives This study examined the context of smokers’ first e-cigarette experiences, reasons for trying e-cigarettes, not continuing their use, and future use intentions. Methods We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 519 current cigarette smokers in the United States (classified as never, current, or former e-cigarette users/triers) in April 2014 about their e-cigarette experiences and use intentions. Results Among ever e-cigarette users/triers, 43% purchased an e-cigarette on their own as their first method of trial. These respondents were more likely to have used e-cigarettes more times than those who first tried e-cigarettes from a friend. Positive perceptions about first experiences were significantly higher among current (34.5%) compared to former e-cigarette users/triers (17.9%). Few (8.7%) current e-cigarette users/triers had a negative first experience. Susceptibility to future e-cigarette use was significantly associated with e-cigarette use status, intention to quit smoking and satisfaction with first e-cigarette experience. Among those interested in e-cigarettes, 26.3% were more interested in trying an e-cigarette made by a major tobacco company and 31.8% in trying an e-cigarette that looked “similar” versus different (13.8%) than a real cigarette. Conclusions The context and perceptions of e-cigarette trial experiences, product quality, style and manufacturer may influence e-cigarette trial and use.

“…In a sample of US adults in 2013,7 fewer than half of respondents believed that vaping should always be banned in restaurants (48%), bars (33%) or parks (26%). One year later8 most US adults supported bans on e-cigarettes where cigarette smoking is banned (57%), bans on sales to minors (71%), and marketing restrictions (71%), although support for bans on flavours remained low (34%) 9. While these studies were conducted independently of each other, all were based the same panel of respondents, the KnowledgePanel.…”
