Electronic cigarettes are still a concern for young people

Published

on

Adults are using e-cigarettes to transition from tobacco, but the trend might be the opposite for younger users, according to USA Today.

A study by the UK-based Centre for Substance Use Research showed that 50 percent of adults who started with traditional cigarettes were able to transition entirely to electronic cigarettes.

The study focused on the Juul brand of e-cig that currently commands about 70 percent of the market share, followed by Vuse, MarkTen XL, Blue, and Logic 60. Those brands make up 97 percent of the market.

The good results of e-cig use with adults don’t necessarily apply to young people. Traditional cigarette smoking is down dramatically during the last 20 years among teenagers. But, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 16.2 percent of 12th graders reported using e-cigarettes in a 30-day period. About 30.7 percent of regular e-cig users started smoking real cigarettes within six months.
