  • *Any NCTP users were defined as respondents who used electronic cigarettes, hookah, cigars (cigar/cigarillo/little filtered cigars), smokeless tobacco (chew, snuff, dip, snus, dissolvables) or regular pipes in the past 30 days. Respondents with any combination of ‘no’ and missing information (don’t know/refused/unknown values) for past 30-day e-cigarette, hookah, cigar, smokeless tobacco or regular pipe use (n=1367) were excluded from the denominator.

  • †Past 30-day electronic cigarette users were defined as respondents who reported smoking at least 1 electronic cigarette during their lifetime, now used ‘every day’, ‘some days’ or ‘rarely’ and provided a response of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the question, “Were any of the electronic cigarettes that you used in the past 30 days flavoured to taste like menthol, mint, clove, spice, candy, fruit, chocolate or other sweets?” Due to missing information (don’t know/refused values), 195 respondents were excluded from the denominator.
