Never user refers to subset of smokers who never tried e-cigarettes.
Non-smoker refers to subset of e-cigarette users who were non-smokers.
Cell entries are coefficients from ordinary least squares regressions and means [standard deviation (SD)], adjusted for all other variables in the table.

Value of craving ranges from 0 to 100 for combustible cigarettes and from 1to 100 for e-cigarettes, because that model excludes respondents who reported no craving at all (0). Variance inflation factors did not indicate problems with collinearity when e-cigarette use and smoking status were included in the same model. E-cigarette use was categorized as never user, past user (used but not in the past 30 days), or current user (used at least once in the past 30 days). CI= confidence interval.
