Understanding the implications of the “vaping epidemic” among adolescents and young adults: a call for action

Nicholas Chadi, MD; Scott E. Hadland , MD, MPH, MS; Sion K. Harris , PhD

Substance Abuse Vol. 40, Iss. 1, 2019

“We describe the current state of the e-cigarette epidemic among youth, which is currently the most rapidly growing trend in substance use among adolescents. This paper warns about some of the most important health risks related to e-cigarette use in adolescents, most of which contain e-cigarettes. Most importantly, we suggest several opportunities for action to help protect prevent or decrease e-cigarette use among youth and avoid losing decades of progress made in the fight against nicotine and tobacco control.”
