Differences in E-Cigarette Use Behaviors and Device and Liquid Characteristics of U.S. Adults by Sexual and Gender Identity

This study of adults frequently using e-cigarettes highlights differences in e-cigarette device and liquid characteristics and tobacco and nicotine product use by sexual and gender identity. For example, a greater percentage of bisexual and heterosexual women than heterosexual men used disposable e-cigarette devices. Given the variation in how e-cigarettes and other tobacco and nicotine products are used, researchers and regulators must consider how health outcomes, cessation behaviors, and responses to interventions or regulatory actions associated with e-cigarette use may vary by sexual and gender identity.
