Teenagers Use E-cigarettes Because They Are Cool

A new study suggests that teenagers may only be smoking electronic cigarettes because they are “cool'.

 

E-cigarettes are usually used by adults to help them quit, but teenagers seem to be using them for a totally different reason.

 

The study was based on 2,400 children between the ages of 14 and 15 living in Toronto, and aimed to find out why teenagers use the device more.

 

“E-cigarettes are frequently used as devices for smoking cessation in adults, we found most students in our survey were motivated by the "cool/fun/something new" features of e-cigarettes,”Dr Michael Khoury said.

 

“Use of e-cigarettes was also associated with lower self-identified health level, greater stress level and a lower estimated household income, which suggests that e-cigarette use may have some key associations that may help to identify adolescents at risk,” he added
