Only two participants (< 1%) had previously tried e-cigarettes.
Among those who had not tried e-cigarettes, most (67%) had heard of them. Awareness was higher among older and non-Hispanic adolescents.
Nearly 1 in 5 (18%) participants were willing to try either a plain or flavoured e-cigarette, but willingness to try plain versus flavoured varieties did not differ.
Smokers were more willing to try any e-cigarette than non-smokers (74% vs. 13%; OR 10.25, 95% CI 2.88, 36.46).
Non-smokers who had more negative beliefs about the typical smoker were less willing to try e-cigarettes (OR .58, 95% CI .43, .79).
