Abstract
Objectives
The landscape of availability, policies, and norms around e-cigarette use and cessation has changed rapidly in the last few years. There is also high interest in quitting vaping among teens and young adults. Understanding the motivation of those who want to quit vaping is important for effective intervention development. This analysis compares user-submitted reasons for quitting (RFQ) vaping from 2022 to a previous analysis from 2019 to determine whether motivations have shifted among young people.
Methods
We reviewed 2000 RFQ submissions from users who enrolled in a vaping cessation text message program in 2022. Each response was coded by ≥ 2 researchers and categorized into one of 16 themes. Findings were compared to the 2019 analysis using item-wise comparisons.
Results
The most frequent RFQ in 2022 were health (56.1%), social influence (15.8%), and other (11.7%). In comparison to 2019, health remained the top reason, but the rank order of all other reasons shifted. Theme prevalence changed significantly, with cost decreasing and health increasing. Among health-related sub-categories, current and mental health increased compared to 2019 submissions.
Discussion
RFQ among young people shifted between 2019 and 2022. We observed greater concern about current and mental health, possibly from experiencing negative health impacts from vaping or from increased awareness of these impacts. The lower prevalence of cost may reflect the widespread availability of cheaper e-cigarettes. RFQ likely change rapidly with the fluctuating e-cigarette landscape and should be considered in cessation interventions, promotional campaigns, and policy.
期刊介绍：
Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors. The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research. The emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. We are particularly interested in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research. Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged. We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
