Flavored e-cigarette use and progression of vaping in adolescents
Pediatrics Nov 09, 2019
Leventhal AM, Goldenson NI, Cho J, et al. - Given the availability of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in nontraditional flavors (eg, fruit and candy) that are banned in combustible cigarettes in the United States, researchers investigated if continuation of vaping and progression to more frequent vaping could be prospectively predicted by adolescent use of e-cigarettes in nontraditional flavors. This analysis was performed on high school students in Los Angeles, California, who finished 5 semiannual surveys (2014–2017 [10th grade to 12th grade]). Findings revealed that the likelihood to continue vaping and take more puffs per vaping occasion 6 months later was more among adolescents who vaped e-cigarettes in nontraditional flavors vs those who exclusively vaped tobacco-flavored, mint- or menthol-flavored, or flavorless e-cigarettes.
