DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0284426
Abstract: Introduction Estimates of initiation, cessation, and relapse rates of tobacco cigarette smoking and e-cigarette use can facilitate projections of longer-term impact of their use. We aimed to derive transition rates and apply them to validate… read more here.
