Abstract in brief

  • Vaping is linked to increased reports of cognitive issues among U.S. adults, similar to smoking, with dual users and current vapers showing higher odds of cognitive complaints.
  • Both ex-smokers who vape and people who have never smoked but vape also show a significant association with cognitive complaints, suggesting vaping might impact cognition regardless of smoking history.
  • The study finds that the connection between vaping and cognitive issues varies by age group and is not statistically significant when analyzed within specific age categories, indicating more research is needed to understand these effects fully.
