It is also called an e-cigarette. Other names for this are e-smoker or shisha pen. We do not mean a device in which tobacco is heated (e.g. heatstick, heat-not-burn and the IQOS)'.
In the years 2019 and 2020, the answer options were Yes, every day', 'Yes, regularly but not every day', 'I've used it a few times' and 'No'. The question in 2019 was: 'Do you ever use an electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette? Other names for this are e-smoker, shisha pen or FlavorVape'. In 2020 the question was changed to: 'Do you ever use an electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette? Other names for this are e-smoker or shisha pen.
