Queering vaping: A qualitative analysis of lesbian, bisexual, and queer women’s E-cigarette use in Australia

Policy and public health strategies must consider the queer socio-cultural meanings and community practices that shape vaping, to avoid reinforcing stigma and unintended harms to LGBTQ+ communities.
