This review of international studies (up to February 2014) published in a leading journal summarised prevalence data from published sources. It found that prior to 2009, e-cigarette use was negligible but thereafter increased rapidly across Europe and the USA. Some surveys suggest that users are younger, more educated and have a higher income, which is consistent with the expected profile of early adopters of novel consumer products.
