Abstract

Objectives: Vaping cessation has important public health implications. This study seeks to assess longitudinal changes in quality of life and mental health associated with vaping cessation.

Methods: Data were drawn from the longitudinal wave 5 (December 2018-November 2019) and wave 6 (March 2021-November 2021) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study, a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 18 and older. The study sample included participants who reported exclusive use of e-cigarettes at baseline. The difference-in-difference models were performed to assess changes in self-reported quality of life and mental health outcomes between those who quit e-cigarettes and those who continued vaping at the follow-up, stratified by baseline internalising and externalising problems.

Results: Among 912 participants who reported exclusive e-cigarette use at baseline, 331 (33.4%) reported quitting e-cigarettes at the 2-year follow-up. Individuals with previous smoking history (vs no) had lower cessation rates (26.8% vs 42.5%, p<0.01), as did participants who reported daily e-cigarette use (vs someday use, 22.2% vs 54.4%, p<0.01). Vaping cessation was associated with a significant improvement in quality of life (adjusted b(SE)=0.22 (0.08), p=0.01) and mental health outcomes (adjusted b(SE)=0.27 (0.10), p=0.01). Participants with high/moderate internalising or externalising problems (vs low) had comparable vaping cessation rates and experienced improved quality of life and mental health after vaping cessation.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that vaping cessation is associated with improved quality of life and mental health. Future research should continue to explore long-term health outcomes and develop targeted interventions for vaping cessation.

美国成年人中与戒烟相关的生活质量和心理健康结果的变化

目的：戒烟具有重要的公共卫生意义。这项研究旨在评估与戒烟有关的生活质量和心理健康的纵向变化。方法：数据来自烟草与健康人口评估研究的纵波5（2018年12月- 2019年11月）和纵波6（2021年3月- 2021年11月），这是一个具有全国代表性的18岁及以上美国成年人样本。研究样本包括报告在基线时只使用电子烟的参与者。采用差异中差异模型来评估戒烟者和在随访中继续吸电子烟者自我报告的生活质量和心理健康结果的变化，并根据基线内化和外化问题进行分层。结果：在912名在基线时报告完全使用电子烟的参与者中，331名（33.4%）报告在2年随访期间戒烟。有吸烟史的人戒烟率较低（26.8% vs 42.5%）。结论：本研究表明，戒烟与改善生活质量和心理健康有关。未来的研究应继续探索长期健康结果，并制定有针对性的戒烟干预措施。
