. “While we are still trying to fully grasp the long-term effects of vaping on physical and mental health, our study shows vapes are exposing youth to nicotine and putting them at risk of nicotine addiction.”of 38,299 Canadian high school students in grades 9 to 12, which reported on the prevalence of different kinds of vaping while taking into account health and social differences among students.
“Youth who vape nicotine-free products tend to have a worse understanding of the risks of e-cigarette chemicals, which can translate to uninformed use and they may conclude that dangers of cigarette smoking are also exaggerated,” said Seabrook. According to the researchers, this new study is unique in that it looks at the correlation between gender, age, and other substance abuse, and vaping. In fact, it revealed male students were more likely to have vaped in the past month than females.
