Abstract

This study aims to investigate e-cigarette and tea cigarette gifting in China and their influencing factors, as well as to explore whether they were associated with tobacco use and cessation. Using a multistage sampling design, 1512 household heads from Guangdong and Shaanxi provinces were recruited for the study and filled out an online questionnaire about smoking status, social participation, e-cigarette, and tea cigarette gifting. Results showed that more than 30% and nearly 3% of participants had been gifted tea cigarettes and e-cigarettes, respectively. Marital status, province of residence, smoking status, and social participation were associated with gifting behaviors. Logistic regressions showed that receiving e-cigarettes ( OR = 3.43, p < 0.05) and tea cigarettes ( OR = 1.70, p < 0.01) were related to tobacco use. Smokers who have received e-cigarettes ( OR = 9.85, p < 0.01) and tea cigarettes ( OR = 1.92, p < 0.05) were also less likely to quit smoking.
