26% of Students – New Study Reveals Alarming Rise of Nicotine Vaping in Schools — Over 25% of high school stud |
Vaping, a popular alternative to traditional smoking, involves inhaling and exhaling aerosol produced by e-cigarettes. While it is promoted as a safer option, especially for adults trying to quit smoking, concerns have arisen regarding its impact on children. The accessibility and enticing flavors of vaping products have led to an alarming increase in underage usage, raising health and addiction concerns among this vulnerable population.
According to the study, in the past month, 12 percent of high school students exclusively used vapes infused with nicotine. Additionally, 11.3 percent were found to be using both nicotine and nicotine-free vapes. A smaller segment of 2.5 percent opted only for nicotine-free vapes. “Vape usage has been studied before, but we wanted to dive in deeper and see what it is that youth are vaping and how that correlates to age, gender, and the use of other substances like alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis,” said Seabrook.
The study also found grade 10 and 11 students were more likely than grade 9 students to vape exclusively with nicotine, while grade 9 students were more likely than grade 11 and 12 students to vape with both nicotine and nicotine-free vapes.
