Trends in use of e-cigarette device types and heated tobacco products from 2016 to 2020 in England

Abstract This study examined use trends of e-cigarette devices types, heated tobacco products (HTPs) and e-liquid nicotine concentrations in England from 2016 to 2020. Data were from a representative repeat cross-sectional survey of adults aged 16 or older. Bayesian logistic regression was used to e...
