Trends in E-cigarette Use

Cigarette smoking has been on the decline for decades among all age groups, both in Wisconsin and the United States. However, e-cigarette use—or vaping—has increased markedly since its introduction over 10 years ago. A study in this issue of WMJ seeks to characterize trends in e-cigarette use among callers to the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit line, to better inform strategies to assist with e-cigarette cessation.
