What differentiates youths who use e-cigarettes from those who smoke traditional tobacco products?

Background: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has spread among adolescents in many countries, however users' characteristics are not well known. We aimed to compare characteristics of exclusive e-cigarette users to those of exclusive tobacco users and dual users.

We examined whether characteristics associated with the purchase of more expensive cigarette brands varied by sex, in the context of the introduction of plain tobacco packaging and the strengthening of tobacco control policies in France.

Methods: Our study population consists of 1380 regular smokers of manufactured cigarettes from the DePICT study, a nation-wide two-wave survey of French adults aged 18-64 years.

We examine trends in cross-border tobacco purchases among smokers concurrent with the implementation of tobacco control measures between 2016 and 2017.
