Resumen
LOZANO, Paula et al. E-cigarette use and its association with smoking reduction and cessation intentions among Mexican smokers. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2019, vol.61, n.3, pp.276-285. Epub 03-Mar-2020. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/9797.
Objective:
Evaluate the patterns of e-cigarette use and their association with smoking behavior.
Materials and methods:
We analyzed data from a population-based representative cohort of adult smokers who participated in the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Surveys in Mexico. The analytic sample (n=760) was restricted to participants who were followed up from wave 6 (2012) to wave 7 (2014-2015). GEE models regressed e-cigarette use at follow-up and changes in cigarettes per day (CPD) between waves, on baseline sociodemographic variables, smoking status (daily, non-daily, quit), e-cigarette trial, and quit intentions.
Results:
Smokers who were younger, had a higher income, and had tried e-cigarettes at baseline were more likely to be current e-cigarette users at follow-up. E-cigarette use at follow-up was not associated with a change in CPD over time.
Conclusions:
E-cigarette use does not appear to have promoted smoking cessation or reduction in this sample of Mexican smokers.
