Did you know: "Among youth, e-cigarettes are more popular than any traditional tobacco product. In 2015, the U.S. surgeon general reported that e-cigarette use among high school students had increased by 900% (😲⁉️), and 40% of young e-cigarette users had never smoked regular tobacco.
[According to Dr. Michael Blaha, director of clinical research at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease], there are three reasons e-cigarettes may be particularly enticing to young people.
⓵ Many teens believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking.
② E-cigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigarettes.
③ Vape cartridges are often formulated with flavorings such as apple pie 🥧🚬 and watermelon 🍉🚬 that appeal to younger users.
Both youths and adults find the lack of smoke appealing. With no smell, e-cigarettes reduce the stigma of smoking.
“What I find most concerning about the rise of vaping is that people who would’ve never smoked otherwise, especially youth, are taking up the habit,” says Blaha. “It’s one thing if you convert from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road.”
