Abstract
This chapter explores the association between smoking initiation PRS and e-cigarette use, using logistic regression. The use of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation is common among young adults in the United Kingdom; therefore, it would be logical to assume that smoking causally influences e-cigarette use in this population. Ethics approval for the study was obtained from the ALSPAC Ethics and Law Committee and the Local Research Ethics Committees. Consent for biological samples has been collected in accordance with the Human Tissue Act. Four negative control outcomes at age 23 and 24 were included in the analysis: high number of sexual partners, having been in trouble with the law, ever gambling, and enjoying taking risks. Self-reported smoking and e-cigarette use were associated with lower parental SEP and having externalising disorders in childhood. Self-reported smoking and e-cigarette use were also associated with increased odds of engaging in risk-taking behaviours.
