Table 2. Cigarette Discontinuation and Discontinuing Daily Cigarette Smoking at Follow-up Wave, Among Daily Cigarette Smokers Who Had No Plans to Ever Quit for Good and Who Were Not Using e-Cigarettes at Baseline Wave, as a Function of e-Cigarette Use at Follow-up Wavea.
e-Cigarette use at follow-up | Cigarette discontinuation at follow-up wave (ie, no cigarette smoking) | Discontinuing daily cigarette smoking at follow-up wave (ie, no daily cigarette smoking) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
No. of observations (%) [95% CI] | aOR (95% CI)b | No.of observations (%) [95% CI] | aOR (95% CI)b | |
Overall (n = 2489) | 158 (6.2) [5.0-7.5] | NA | 271 (10.7) [9.1-12.5] | NA |
No e-cigarette use (n = 2273) | 138 (5.8) [4.7-7.2] | 1 [Reference] | 228 (9.9) [8.2-11.8] | 1 [Reference] |
Nondaily e-cigarette use (n = 156) | 3 (3.1) [0.8-11.1]c | 0.53 (0.08-3.35) | 16 (10.2) [5.8-17.3] | 0.96 (0.44-2.09) |
Daily e-cigarette use (n = 60) | 17 (28.0) [15.2-45.9] | 8.11 (3.14-20.97) | 27 (45.5) [27.4-64.9] | 9.67 (4.02-23.25) |
Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odd ratios; NA, not applicable.
Numbers are unweighted and reflect numbers of observations; percentages, aORs, and 95% CIs are weighted using the PATH wave 5 all-waves weights for longitudinal analyses. Sample includes those who aged into the adult cohort over the course of the study period.
Analyses were adjusted for biological sex, race and ethnicity, age group, educational attainment, annual household income, cigarettes smoked per day, and wave pair; all covariates were assessed at baseline wave of each wave pair; generalized estimating equation models were fitted specifying the unstructured covariance and within-person correlation matrices, Wald χ222 of 95.4 (P < .001) for the cigarette discontinuation model; Wald χ222 of 170.6 (P < .001) for the daily cigarette discontinuation model.
Estimate should be interpreted with caution because it has low statistical precision. It is based on a denominator sample size of less than 50, or the coefficient of variation of the estimate or its complement is larger than 30%.
