Abstract

Conclusion: Smoking status significantly affects whether a patient has tried e-cigs, with current smokers being most likely to ever have tried them. Demographic characteristics were not associated with use or opinions of e-cigs. Future studies should be done to assess use and attitudes in other clinic settings, as well as use within our adolescent patient populations.
