Though the number of new cigarette smokers dropped from 2014 through 2017, overall daily tobacco usage increased, led by daily e-cigarette vaping, mostly among kids 14 to 17 years old.
The study examined data from 2014, prior to the surge of JUUL products, and 2017, when a rise in JUUL sales was occurring.
Though the number of new cigarette smokers dropped during that span, overall daily tobacco usage increased, led by daily e-cigarette vaping, mostly among those between 14 and 17 years old. "Three major contributors influenced the increase in daily e- cigarette usage: social media campaigns, high nicotine concentrations, and fruit flavors," said senior author Karen Messer, Ph.D., professor of biostatistics at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health.
"Our prior research indicates that it is very difficult for dependent tobacco users to quit, with many e-cigarette users converting to cigarette smoking. This surge in dependent e-cigarette vaping may be reversing decades of decline in rates of tobacco addiction." Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a ban on most flavorings in e-cigarette cartridges in 2020, that policy did not include disposable e-cigarettes, e-liquids or refillable devices. UCSD says there were an estimated 1.7 million high-school aged children vaping last year, with 85% of them using flavored products.Keep up with all the latest news, arts and culture, and TV highlights from KPBS.
