Abstract

E-cigarettes are associated with increased risk of respiratory and COVID-19-related outcomes. We found that among youth e-cigarette ever-users, those who agreed e-cigarettes increase the risk of COVID-19 were less likely to have used in the past month. Prevention messaging should explain how e-cigarettes are linked to respiratory problems, including COVID-19.
