as risky," added Evans-Polce, who is also an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan School of Nursing.A woman uses an electronic cigarette in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, Oct. 4, 2019.While the study did not specifically examine why students were taking up vaping earlier in life, there's some evidence to support the theory that kids don't understand the risks of vaping.
The new study utilized data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey, which is conducted annually in middle and high schools around the country, and includes responses from more than 26,600 students between 2014 and 2018. Among students who reported lifetime use of e-cigarettes in 2014, 63% said they started using e-cigarettes when they were 16 or 17 years old. By 2018, the number of e-cigarette users who said they started at 16 or 17 had fallen to 43%.
During that same time period, however, younger teenagers reported trying e-cigarettes earlier in life. In 2014, just 9% of teenagers who used e-cigarettes reported starting at age 14 or younger. By 2018, that number had risen to 29%. There was no significant change in the age that lifetime smokers said they started using traditional cigarettes between 2014 and 2018, with roughly half of student smokers saying they first tried cigarettes when they were 14 years old or younger.
