Association of e-cigarette and cigarette use with self-reported chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a multivariable analysis of a large United States data set
Current e-cigarette use among former cigarette smokers was associated with significantly higher COPD prevalence compared to never e-cigarette use. However, COPD risk for most cigarette/e-cigarette combinations could be greatly attenuated by how cigarette smoking history was modeled, raising questions about the robustness of these associations in prior research and the possibility of reverse causality in prior cross-sectional research.
