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.

摘要

电子尼古丁传送系统（ENDS）是尼古丁传送装置的一种越来越流行的形式，尤其是在年轻人和青少年中。长期使用 ENDS 对健康的影响尚不清楚。值得特别考虑的两个人群是美国军人（现役军人）和美国退伍军人。在 2019 年 12 月之前的文献叙述性回顾中，关于这两个人群中 ENDS 使用的研究被描述为与 ENDS 使用相关的四个主题： ENDS 使用的流行率；对 ENDS 的看法；ENDS使用的相关性；和使用 ENDS 戒烟。这篇叙述性评论总结了这四个领域中的每一个领域的研究结果，并确定了未来研究的领域。
