description E-cigarette use has increased rapidly among U.S. adults. Few studies have examined the prevalence and risk factors of e-cigarette use among adults in the United States. We conducted descriptive analyses to identify characteristics of ever e-cigarette users among adults (18 years and older) living in Los Angeles (LA) County, the most populous county in the U.S., using data from the 2015 LA County Health Survey. We used logistic regression to examine independent factors associated with ever e-cigarette use. Age-adjusted prevalence of ever e-cigarette use was 8.4%. A significant interaction between conventional cigarette smoking status and gender was found (p < 0.05), and several factors were identified as associated with ever e-cigarette use in models stratified by gender. Various social and demographic factors are associated with ever e-cigarette use and should be incorporated into evidence-based interventions.
