Sample-weighted means use data from Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study waves 1 to 3. Age groups are based on age at wave 1. Two emerging adults and 22 prime-age adults lacked wave 2 vaping data. Among individuals who vaped at wave 2, flavor preference was missing for 7 emerging and 11 prime-age adults. Race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, and income were missing in 2.47%, 0.53%, 0.36%, and 8.23% of emerging adult observations, respectively. For prime-age adults, percentage missing for wave 3 smoking status, sex, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, and income were 0.12%, 0.06%, 1.36%, 1.53%, 0.63%, and 7.10%, respectively.
