      Cross-Sectional Survey among Daily E-Cigarette Users.

AB  - Web-based samples of e-cigarette users commonly report significant vaping-related 
      health improvements (HIs) and mild adverse events (AEs). This cross-sectional 
      study with in-person interviewing data collection examined self-reported AEs and 
      perceived HIs among Hungarian adult current daily exclusive e-cigarette (n = 65) 
      and dual users (n = 127), and former daily e-cigarette users (n = 91) in 2018. 
      Logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between reporting any 
      AEs/HIs, vaping status, and covariates. More former users (52.7%) reported AEs 
      than current users (39.6%; p = 0.038). Exclusive and dual daily users reported 
      similar rates of AEs (44.6% and 37.0%, respectively; p = 0.308). More current 
      users (46.9%) experienced HIs than former users (35.2%; p = 0.064). Exclusive 
      daily users were more likely to report HIs than dual users (63.1% versus 38.6%; p 
      = 0.001). Former user status and smoking cessation/reduction reasons increased 
      the odds of reporting AEs, whereas nicotine-containing e-liquid use and older age 
      decreased the odds of reporting AEs. Exclusive vaper status, using advanced 
      generation devices, and smoking cessation/reduction reasons increased the odds of 
      experiencing HIs. This study, which used a traditional data collection 
      methodology, found a higher rate of AEs and a lower rate of HIs compared to 
      web-based surveys. Our results highlight that experiencing AEs and HIs is 
      affected by users' characteristics, in addition to the device and e-liquid type.
