• Aim to evaluate policies and mass disseminated
interventions
– US, UK, Canada and Australia
• Follows cohorts of smokers and recent quitters in
different countries
– Common methodology
– Assesses mediational pathways
– Embedded natural experiments
– Demonstrate differential effects when policy introduced
• Now major focus on vaping

• First asked specifically in 2010
• Extended each wave
• 2016 wave major focus
• People who used nicotine in last 2 years
– Focus on those who have been daily
smokers n=11,146
• Preliminary data, cleaned and partly
weighted
– Rapidly changing environment, need to get
information out quickly

• Not simply a therapy to quit
– Partly or mainly a substitute
– Conventional approaches are limited
• Choice may involve
– Relative experienced benefits (including enjoyment)
– Perceived costs
• Monetary and worry

• Patterns of use
– Prevalence of use
– Use to try to quit smoking
– Intensity/patterns of use
– Where used
• Relevant beliefs and attitudes
– Acceptability
– Harmfulness
– Enjoyment/Satisfaction (users only)
• Future intentions: to use or not use

• Use continuing to increase
• Most vaping is not daily use
• Large amount of experimental use
• Any vaping associated with
– Increased interest in quitting
– Greater confidence in ability
– Although perhaps more dependent
• Gradation in beliefs by extent of
vaping and extent of smoking
Patterns of use

• Around half used vaping on last quit attempt (less
in Australia)
– Associated with better outcomes overall
• Around half used tanks (less in US)
– Tanks associated with better outcomes
• Among daily vapers few younger smokers have
quit smoking, but among older smokers around half
have.
Quitting

• Data presented largely preliminary
• Earlier established data is mainly of historical
interest
– Given rapid changes
• Use these data to focus on patterns not as precise
estimates
Reminder of limitations

• Vaping appears to be here to stay
• Public policy is having a smaller effect than
we might expect
– But some may have huge consequences
– Lack of enforcement = approval
• Concept of dual use is useless
• Current vaping not good enough to kill off
smoking, especially in those where quitting
is less urgent (young)
• Can we push more to quit with improved
policies?
– Or do we need to rely on new products?
