The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine how a cigarette smoker learns about and uses an electronic cigarette (EC), perhaps as a way to quit smoking or reduce cigarette consumption. The study focused on evaluating the body connections to smoking and its relationship to the EC, investigating the social and material experiences related to learning to use an EC. Two theories framed this study: embodied adult learning theory and Actor Network Theory. The quantitative portion of the study utilized a longitudinal survey analysis of two surveys: the first survey looking at the use and characteristics of 53 dual EC users and smokers and the second survey analyzing this cohort for changes in EC device use. Qualitative data included two open-ended questions on the survey and in-depth interviews with 16 of the 53 survey participants with emphasis on investigating how a smoker came to know about and learn to use an EC. Qualitative data were analyzed with NVivo software. The findings of the quantitative analysis revealed that 74% of dual users intended to quit smoking with 66% quitting by the follow up. There was a significant difference in EC device use between surveys with quitters changing from a cigalike to mod device (p=0.01). The qualitative interviews added to the quantitative results, revealing three main themes around learning about and using ECs: a) sensory embodied connections to smoking and EC use; b) learning through the synergy of social and non-human systems; and c) using an EC as a step towards quitting. The study's findings provide insight on the intention of EC use and how it changes with experience, and the importance of choice and personalization for ECs to be a step towards quitting smoking. The study provides a model for how adult educators and health care providers can help smokers progress through stages of EC use in their quitting journey. It also offers implications for tobacco regulation, a better understanding of how to balance the issues with ECs while not isolating former smokers who quit with these devices, and suggestions for further research.
