... . Because assessment of the overall public health impact of e-cigarettes requires understanding the relationship between e-cigarettes and combustible tobacco cigarettes, the committee also undertook comprehensive literature reviews of the effects of e-cigarette use on combustible tobacco cigarette smoking initiation and cessation.
From page 666...
... The following sections describe the committee's search strategies to identify literature on the health effects of e-cigarettes and on the e-cigarettes and smoking transitions. Health Effects of E-Cigarettes Because the committee is interested primarily in the effects of e-cigarettes as a whole product, rather than the effects of their individual constituent parts, the committee conducted a search to identify literature on human, animal, and in vitro exposure to e-cigarettes.
From page 667...
... Additionally, because there are many recent, systematic reviews on the effects of e-cigarettes on smoking initiation and cessation but few original studies, the committee chose to assess first these review articles rather than duplicating these efforts. The committee then complemented the evidence identified through these reviews with new studies published after the search dates of the most recent literature reviews, and also met the most rigorous inclusion/exclusion criteria used in the existing, prior systematic reviews.

... The committee began by identifying what questions the literature addresses and then assessed the extent to which each study was able to answer each question of interest. In their assessment, the committee considered study design, elements of study design, study results, and other potential sources of conflict of interest or bias.
