“…Two recent studies explore the effects of e-cigarette non-tax policies on birth outcomes and broadly confirm the meta-analysis findings of Whittington et al (2018). First, Cooper and Pesko (2017) estimate the effect of e-cigarette indoor bans on prenatal conventional cigarette smoking and birth outcomes in U.S. states and counties using birth records (the same data that we utilize). E-cigarette indoor air laws reduce prenatal smoking cessation, but the laws have no effect on birth outcomes.…”

“…These findings suggest that e-cigarette tax increases reduce rates of smoking cessation during pregnancy. Two other studies have also documented that e-cigarette regulations reduce smoking cessation during the pregnancy (Cooper and Pesko 2017, Pesko and Currie 2019). Therefore, e-cigarette taxes appear to affect prenatal smoking both through raising pre-pregnancy smoking levels and reducing smoking cessation during the course of pregnancy.…”

We use the universe of birth records in the United States from 2013 to 2018 to examine the effect of e-cigarette tax rates on pre-pregnancy smoking and prenatal smoking. We study these questions using two-way fixed effects models and pregnancy fixed effects models. We show that e-cigarette taxes increase pre-pregnancy smoking, increase prenatal smoking, and lower smoking cessation during pregnancy. These findings imply that e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes are substitutes among pregnant women. We also find evidence that e-cigarette taxes reduce prepregnancy and third trimester e-cigarette use.

“…The difference-in-difference approach can be used to study some e-cigarette policies. For example, several recent studies provide evidence that state minimum age laws and indoor vaping restrictions increase smoking of combustible cigarettes (Friedman 2015, Pesko, Hughes and Faisal 2016, Dave, Feng, and Pesko, 2019, Pesko and Currie 2016, Cooper and Pesko 2017). However, there will not be state-level policy variation to identify the impact of the requirements of the FDA deeming regulation (which include a national minimum purchase age) or of future FDA regulatory actions such as new product standards to lower nicotine levels in combustible cigarettes to non-addictive levels (FDA 2017).…”

“…First, our predictions about e-cigarette use under counter-factual policy scenarios provide new information about regulatory tradeoffs currently being considered. Unlike much of the current literature on e-cigarettes that uses geographical variation in minimum legal purchase age laws (Friedman 2015, Abouk and Adams 2017, Dave, Feng, and Pesko 2019) and indoor vaping restrictions (Cooper and Pesko 2017), our study considers several regulations under consideration but not enacted at the state or federal level. Second, we provide empirical evidence 4 about the role consumer optimization errors play in tobacco product choices.…”

Sales of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) and Cigarette Sales in the USA: A Trend Break Analysis

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are a potentially lower-risk tobacco product which could help smokers switch completely away from cigarettes. However, the lack of strong evidence to date of a measurable, population-level effect on reducing smoking has generated skepticism about ENDS’ potential benefits. This study examines whether increased US ENDS sales have been associated with reduced cigarette sales. Retail data on weekly per-capita cigarette and ENDS purchases in the USA during 2014–2019 were obtained from a national sample of brick-and-mortar retail outlets. Trends in cigarette sales were modeled before (2014–2016) ENDS had a substantial market share, and, after adjusting for macroeconomic factors, projected into the post-period (2017–2019). Actual cigarette sales were lower than projected sales (by up to 16% across the post-period), indicating a substantial “cigarette shortfall” in the post-period. To explore whether general (i.e., inclusive of potentially many mechanisms) substitution by ENDS can explain the cigarette shortfall, its association with per-capita ENDS volume sales was examined. Higher ENDS sales were significantly associated with a greater cigarette shortfall: for every additional per-capita ENDS unit, cigarette sales were 1.4 packs-per-capita lower than expected (B = 1.4, p < .0001). Error correction models which account for spurious correlation yielded similar results. These findings support ENDS serving as a substitute for cigarettes (through potentially many mechanisms including cigarette price), causing cigarette consumption to decline. Since ENDS potentially pose lower risk than cigarettes, this general substitution effect suggests that risk-proportionate tobacco regulation could mitigate the tobacco-related health burden.
