E-Cigarette Use and Lung Cancer Screening Uptake

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have gained popularity since 2007 and have become the second most commonly used tobacco product among US adults in 2021.1 E-cigarettes have been increasingly used as tobacco cessation aids.2,3 However, there are concerns about the potential long-term cancer risks associated with e-cigarette use.4 Since the recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) endorsing lung cancer screening (LCS) in 2013 (revised in 2021), uptake has increased but remains low.5,6 The association between e-cigarette use and LCS uptake remains unknown.
