Electronic-Cigarette and Heated Tobacco Product Use in the United Arab Emirates, an Emerging EC and HTP Market: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the International Tobacco Control UAE Survey
Non-combustible nicotine products are growing in popularity in the Middle East Region. Our study found that EC and HTP use is associated with baseline combustible tobacco use and that concurrent users may use them to cut down on their combustible tobacco use. Continued comprehensive population-based monitoring of all-tobacco and nicotine products, especially EC and HTP use, will provide current data to aid in appropriately informing public health and harm reduction messages and programming.
