Abstract

Background and Objectives: We provide an initial characterization of e‐cigarette use among adult cancer patients. Methods: Data were collected between November 2020 and August 2022 at a comprehensive cancer center. Results: Relatively few (4.59%) of the assessed patients (n = 47,117) reported ever using e‐cigarettes. Over one‐third of current e‐cigarette users reported being current combustible cigarette users. Discussion and Conclusions: These data suggest that e‐cigarette use is uncommon but associated with other tobacco use among adult cancer patients. Scientific Significance: This is among the first comprehensive surveys of adult cancer patient e‐cigarette use that details the types of e‐cigarette and other tobacco products used by this population.
