Proportions are weighted estimates based on the total number of respondents providing valid data. Data for the 2022 NYTS are shown in Table S1 in the Supplemental Material.

a Respondents with missing data on e-cigarette use (n = 351) were excluded from the analyses.

b Respondents with missing data on only or usual brand (n = 5) were excluded from the analyses.

c Consistent device type for Vuse and JUUL is an e-cigarette that uses pre-filled or refillable pods or cartridges; consistent device type for Elf Bar is a disposable e-cigarette.

d Consistent flavors for Vuse and JUUL e-cigarettes are ‘tobacco-flavor’ and/or ‘menthol’.

e Due to uncertainty regarding the flavors available for Elf Bar e-cigarettes, reporting consistency was not assessed for flavors.
