TEEN vapers are more likely to grow up to be heavy smokers, a study shows. Brits who used both cigs and and e-cigs before age 15 were nearly twice as likely to smoke six or more fags a week by age …
The latest study, published in Tobacco Control, looked at how vaping at young ages affects teens’ likelihood to keep smoking.
Researchers tracked smoking and vaping habits in 1,090 children aged up to 15 in the UK and 803 in the US to see how it affected continued use. Some 37 per cent of early teens who smoked and vaped smoked at least six cigarettes a week before the age of 18.Professor Kelly said: “A great deal of attention has centred on restricting e-cigarettes so that they do not serve as a pathway into tobacco initiation among youth.
“Our results highlight that considering their impacts on youth who initiate smoking at an early age remains important as well.”, said: “This useful study highlights the need to strengthen regulation to stop access to cigarettes and e-cigarettes in youth.”
