      Introduction

      During the E-cigarette, or Vaping, Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) outbreak, patient data on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, product (EVP) use was collected, but data on non-affected adult product use after the onset of the EVALI outbreak is limited. This study describes adult THC-EVP use after EVALI began.

      Methods

      THC-EVP use data came from an 18-state web-based panel survey of adult THC- and nicotine-containing EVP users conducted February 2020. Unweighted descriptive statistics were calculated; logistic regression assessed correlates of use.

      Results:

      Among 3,980 THC-EVP users, 23.5% used THC-EVPs daily. Common brands of THC-EVPs used were Dank Vapes (47.7%) and Golden Gorilla (38.7%). Reported substances used included THC oils (69.6%), marijuana herb (63.6%) and THC concentrate (46.4%). Access sources included: recreational dispensaries (41.1%), friend/family member (38.6%) and illicit dealers (15.1%). Respondents aged 45–64 years had lower odds for daily use compared with those aged 25–34 years (aOR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60, 0.90). Compared with White respondents, Asian respondents had lower odds (aOR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.36, 0.84) and Black respondents higher odds (aOR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.17, 1.86) of daily use. Respondents odds of daily use and accessing THC-EVPs through commercial sources were higher among states with legalized nonmedical adult marijuana use compared to states without.

      Conclusions

      Almost half of respondents reported daily or weekly THC-EVP use, and accessed products through both informal and formal sources, even after EVALI began. Given the potential for future EVALI-like conditions to occur, it is important to monitor the use of THC-EVPs and ensure effective education activities about associated risk.
