The impact of e-cigarettes on the uptake and persistence of conventional cigarette smoking: Who is most vulnerable?

The growing popularity of electronic cigarette (e-cig) use among adolescents and their potential to promote conventional cigarette smoking is a cause for public health and regulatory concern. Evidence for whether, why, and for whom e-cigs contribute to the uptake and persistence of conventional cigarette use in adolescents is necessary to inform the FDAs regulatory actions and public health campaigns.
