The Effects of Cannabis Use A Test Among Dual Electronic and Combustible Cigarette Users.
Despite greater rates of cannabis use among those that smoke combustible cigarettes, it is currently unknown whether cannabis use is related to e-cigarette dependence or maladaptive beliefs about combustible cigarettes.
