Differential associations between smoking, e-cigarette use, and diabetes prevalence
In this nationally representative study of Scottish adults, excess diabetes prevalence was observed among ex-smokers, a pattern that may reflect both reverse causation if individuals quit smoking after diagnosis and the lasting metabolic effects of cumulative smoking exposure. Neither current nor former e-cigarette use was associated with diabetes, and the observed variation in prevalence appeared linked to smoking history rather than e-cigarette use. However, because vaping is relatively recent, further longitudinal research is needed to clarify any long-term risks.
