• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? During 2014-2016, an estimated 5.2 million U.S. workers used e-cigarettes, and prevalence was high among certain industries and occupations. What is added by this report? During 2017-2018, an estimated 5.3 million (3.4%) U.S. workers used e-cigarettes, one half of whom also smoked combustible tobacco products. E-cigarette use was highest among males, non-Hispanic Whites, persons aged 18-24 years, combustible tobacco product users, and workers in the accommodation and food services industry and in food preparation and serving-related occupations. What are the implications for public health practice? Full implementation of targeted, evidence-based tobacco-control interventions that address the diversity of tobacco products used by U.S. adults, in coordination with regulation of tobacco product manufacturing, marketing, and sales, can reduce tobacco-related disease and death.
