A consistent approach using standardised items to assess e-cigarette use in both youth and adult populations will aid cross-survey cross-national comparisons of the effect (and tobacco) policies improve our understanding population health impact use. Focusing on behaviour, we propose a set items, discuss their utility potential adaptation, highlight constructs that researchers should avoid without further item development.

In total, 3.2% of American adults report using e-cigarettes every day or some days. The Vaping and Patterns E-cigarette Use Research (VAPER) Study is a web-based longitudinal survey designed to observe patterns in device liquid use that suggest the benefits unintended consequences potential e-cigarette regulations. heterogeneity devices liquids on market, customizability liquids, lack standardized reporting requirements result unique measurement challenges. Furthermore, bots takers who...
China has approximately 300 million current smokers, and smoking cessation services are limited.
