Use of electronic cigarettes in the United States service member and Veteran populations: A narrative review (2019)

Mil Psychol. 2021 Apr 13;33(3):169-181. doi: 10.1080/08995605.2021.1897493. eCollection 2021.

ABSTRACT

Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) are an increasingly popular form of a nicotine delivery device, particularly among young adults and adolescents. The health consequences of long-term ENDS use are not known. Two populations that warrant special consideration are members of the United States Military (service members) and US Veterans. In this narrative review of literature before December 2019, research on ENDS use in these two populations is described in relation to four themes relevant to ENDS use: Prevalence of ENDS use; perceptions of ENDS; correlates of ENDS use; and use of ENDS for smoking cessation. This narrative review summarized research findings in each of these four areas and identified areas for future research.
