## Introduction: This study examines the association between current e-cigarette use at baseline and regular cigarette smoking at follow-up among u.s. youth. ## Methods: A longitudinal analysis of youth (aged 12-17 years) data from waves 1-3 of the population assessment of tobacco and health study (2013-2016) was conducted between january 2019 and december 2019. youth who reported past-30-day current e-cigarette use at baseline were identified and followed for regular cigarette smoking (≥20 days) at follow-up. ## Results: Compared with noncurrent e-cigarette users at baseline, current e-cigarette users (cigarette nonsmokers) had 5.0 (95% ci=1.9, 12.8) times higher odds of becoming regular cigarette smokers 1 year later. additionally, there was a direct linear relationship between the number of days of e-cigarette use at baseline and the number of days of cigarette smoking 1 year later. ## Conclusions: Current e-cigarette use among u.s. youth is associated with higher odds of transitioning to regular cigarette smoking, likely reflecting robust transitions rather than experimentation. these results suggest that promoting e-cigarettes as the current practice for tobacco harm reduction
