Aims:
To estimate the association of e-cigarette advertisement exposure with e-cigarette and cigarette use behavior among US adults.
Design:
Data from the 2013-14 National Adult Tobacco Survey (NATS) were linked to Kantar Media and National Consumer Study data to construct measures of e-cigarette advertisements on TV and in magazines. The relationship between advertisement measures and outcomes was estimated using logistic and Poisson regressions, controlling for socio-demographics, state cigarette taxes and state and year fixed-effects.
Setting:
United States.
Participants/Cases:
A total of 98 746 adults aged ≥ 18 years who responded to the 2013-14 NATS.
Measurements:
The independent variables of interest were the number of e-cigarette advertisements in magazines to which an adult was exposed in the past 6 months and the number of e-cigarette advertisements on TV to which an adult was exposed in the past 6 months. Outcomes were awareness of e-cigarettes, ever e-cigarette use, current e-cigarette use, current cigarette use and number of cigarettes smoked per month.
Findings:
Exposure to one additional e-cigarette advertisement on TV was associated with a 0.18, 0.13 and 0.03 percentage point increase, respectively, in awareness, ever use and current use of e-cigarettes among all adults (P < 0.05). This exposure also was associated with a 0.11 percentage point increase in current cigarette use among all adults and an increase in cigarette consumption of 2.24 cigarettes per month among adults aged ≥ 45 (P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Exposure to e-cigarette advertising appears to be positively associated with the use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes among adults of all ages, and with increased cigarette consumption among older adults.
