Abstract
Purpose: To determine whether electronic cigarettes (EC) can act as a gateway to smoking traditional cigarettes (TC) among adolescents.
Methods: As part of a larger qualitative study on EC use including 42 adolescents/young adults (16-26y.o., 19 females) in 8 focus groups (FG) (4 FGs with EC users, 2 with TC users, 1 with non-users, 1 with mixed consumption types), participants were asked if they believed that ECs could act as a gateway to smoking. FGs were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analyzed according to a thematic analysis procedure.
