Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To compare the characteristics of people who vape, smoke commercial tobacco, or engage in dual use among a cohort of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participating in the Which Way? Quit Pack study. METHODS: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who: were aged 16 and above; resided in New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory; smoked commercial tobacco and/or vaped; and wanted to quit. Data were collected from 2 October 2023 to 9 August 2024. Self-reported sociodemographic characteristics and cessation experiences were assessed, and differences were examined based on whether participants used commercial tobacco only, vaping only, or both. RESULTS: A total of 880 participants completed the survey and were included for analysis. Participants predominantly smoked commercial tobacco only (n=614; 69.8%), followed by dual-use (n=170; 19.3%) and vaping only (n=96; 10.9%). Participants < 25 years were significantly more likely to engage in vaping and dual-use compared with all other age groups. Participants living in outer regional and remote areas were less likely to report dual-use (95% CI: 0.32, 1.00; p=0.049) and less likely to use vapes (95% CI: 0.11, 0.56; p<0.001) than those in major cities. Women were more likely to use vapes than men (95% CI: 1.46, 5.90; p=0.002). Regardless of use type, participants reported interest in cessation medications. CONCLUSION: This study highlights important differences in smoking and vaping behaviours among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people seeking to quit warranting further investment and research. Tailored cessation support that reflects the diverse experiences and needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly in relation to age, gender, and geographic location is needed.
