Key Points Question Are US state regulations regarding electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) associated with current e-cigarette use among US adults? Findings This cross-sectional study used national data from 894 997 participants aged 18 years or older from the 2016 and 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys. State regulations prohibiting e-cigarette use in indoor areas, requiring retailers to purchase a license to sell e-cigarettes, prohibiting sales of tobacco products to persons younger than 21 years, and applying taxes to e-cigarettes were associated with a lower prevalence of current e-cigarette use among US adults. Meaning Several state regulations regarding e-cigarettes may be associated with reduced current e-cigarette use among US adults.
