Decreases in exclusive cigarette smoking and increases in exclusive electronic cigarette use were seen among U.S. adults from 2017 to 2023, according to research published in the March 6 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

René A. Arrazola, M.P.H., from the CDC in Atlanta, and colleagues describe trends in the use of commercial tobacco products, including combustible tobacco products, smokeless tobacco products, and e-cigarettes (e-cigarettes meet the federal definition of tobacco products) among adults during a seven-year period. The analysis included adult participants (annual range, 21,153 to 31,997) in the National Health Interview Survey (2017 to 2023).
