There is mixed evidence as to whether nicotine vaping products (NVPs) can help adults who smoke transition away from cigarettes. This study investigated if self-reported attempts quit smoking and cessation, over a period of either 18 or 24 months, differed between respondents initiated versus those did not. Outcome comparisons were made who: (1) vs. not; (2) daily non-daily (3) surveys continued vape at follow-up (daily non-daily) not initiate vaping.
