Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Narrative Review: complete synthesised overview of reasons for e-cigarette use and perceptions regarding e-cigarettes.
Secondary outcome
synthesize overview of reasons and perceptions into survey items.
Background summary
Governmental organizations usually only provide information on the best option to avoid or mitigate a specific risk, such as stop smoking. Many citizens do not follow this advice and do nothing, which is the worst option from a public health point of view. However, they may also seek alternative advices for second best options, such as using e-cigarettes. Communication on alternative health options is currently not evidence based, and often performed by stakeholders with a vested interest. Including a second best option in health communications may increase public health and informed decision-making, but it may also result in counterproductive effects.
