Using e-cigarettes increases the likelihood of smoking tobacco
It should be the solution, or at least that’s how it was originally conceived. But it turns out it’s reinforcing tobacco consumption. Among adolescents who have never smoked a cigarette before, using e-cigarettes quadruples the likelihood of smoking a regular tobacco cigarette in the following year. Unlike their peers who do not “vape,” according to a University of Michigan study that involved 347 surveys.
‘Vaping’ involves the use of battery-powered devices with a heating element that produces a vapor inhaled by users. This vapor can have thousands of flavors that are very appealing to adolescents. All of this contributes to diminishing these adolescents’ perception of the risks of smoking.
