a

Current e-cigarette user includes persons aged ≥18 years who reported currently using e-cigarettes every day or some days at the time of the survey. Excludes respondents with an unknown use status.

b

Any disability includes persons aged ≥18 years who reported having serious difficulty with vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, self-care, or independent living. Excludes respondents whose disability status was unknown.

c

Includes only 2016 and 2017 data because the jurisdiction did not participate in the 2018 survey.

d

P<0.05 for the prevalence of current e-cigarette users among adults with the specific disability compared to current e-cigarette users among adults without the corresponding disability; for these comparisons, the prevalence of current e-cigarette use was higher for adults with than without the disability.

e

P<0.05 for the prevalence of current e-cigarette users among adults with hearing disability compared to current e-cigarette users among adults without hearing disability; for these comparisons, the prevalence of current e-cigarette use was lower for adults with than without hearing disability.
