The Decline in e-Cigarette Use Among Youth in the United States—An Encouraging Trend but an Ongoing Public Health Challenge

Menée aux Etats-Unis par enquête auprès de 14 531 élèves de collège ou de lycée, cette étude analyse leur utilisation de la cigarette électronique en 2020

Résumé en anglais

The 2014 Surgeon General’s report The Health Consequences of Smoking—50 Years of Progress warned that given the then-current rate of cigarette smoking among US youth, 5.6 million individuals younger than 18 years would die prematurely from smoking-related illness, ie, 1 of every 13 youth aged 17 years or younger. Preventing young people from smoking and protecting them from the dual health dangers of nicotine and combustion hinge in good part on disrupting the developmental, familial, social, environmental, and economic pathways that lead youth to start smoking and join the ranks of the addicted.
