| Popis: | Background Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) remain the most used tobacco product among young people in the United States (US). Given the need for current data on popular e-cigarette products, the current study leverages data from a rapid surveillance survey of young people and examines whether the top e-cigarette brands identified from this source align with US market data. Methodology Data were obtained from current e-cigarette users (N = 4145) participating in the Truth Continuous Tracker Online (CTO; a cross-sectional tracking survey of 15-24 year-olds sourced from the national Dynata panel) and NielsenIQ retail scanner data, collected in 2022 and aggregated by quarter (Q1, Q2, and Q3). The top 15 e-cigarette brands were determined from respondents’ endorsement in the Truth CTO and ranked total sales in NielsenIQ in nominal dollars. Results Overall, 58% of e-cigarette brands overlapped across the Truth CTO and NielsenIQ data (60% for Q1, 47% for Q2 and 67% for Q3). Pod-based (JUUL; VUSE) and disposable (Hyde; Breeze Smoke) brands appeared as top brands in both datasets. Top brands were fairly consistent within and across quarters; though, more variability was found in the Truth CTO, relative to NielsenIQ. Many top brands were disposable. Conclusions Results suggest that data from rapid surveillance and retail data can be used complementarily to characterize the popular e-cigarette brands currently on the US market. Many of these popular e-cigarette brands have yet to receive marketing granted orders under the US Food and Drug Administration, suggesting the need to continue monitoring e-cigarette brands among young people. |
