Abstract
Background and Objectives
We provide an initial characterization of e-cigarette use among adult cancer patients.
Methods
Data were collected between November 2020 and August 2022 at a comprehensive cancer center.
Results
Relatively few (4.59%) of the assessed patients (n = 47,117) reported ever using e-cigarettes. Over one-third of current e-cigarette users reported being current combustible cigarette users.
Discussion and Conclusions
These data suggest that e-cigarette use is uncommon but associated with other tobacco use among adult cancer patients.
Scientific Significance
This is among the first comprehensive surveys of adult cancer patient e-cigarette use that details the types of e-cigarette and other tobacco products used by this population.
