The number of British teenagers who say they use e-cigarettes is virtually unchanged from 2016
WALK DOWN any high street in Britain and you find no shortage of shops advertising e-cigarettes, which have seemingly exploded in popularity in recent years. Public-health officials are worried. Little is known about the long-term health effects of vaping, and many have accused e-cigarette manufacturers of aiming their products at children. Yet, newly released data suggest that concerns over e-cigarettes’ popularity among youngsters may be overblown, at least in England.
One of the biggest worries policymakers have about e-cigarettes is that they might cause more teens to become addicted to nicotine, and subsequently take up smoking. This, too, appears to not be the case. NHS data show that only around 5% of teens say they smoke today, roughly the same proportion who said they did so in 2016, and far below the share who said they did so in 1982. There are plenty of reasons to worry about “kids these days”, but nicotine use is not one of them.
