Description

This report confirms that the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is growing rapidly among American youth and young adults. We know that they contain harmful ingredients that are dangerous to youth. Important strides have been made in reducing conventional cigarette smoking among youth and young adults, and this progress must not be compromised by the initiation and use of new tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes. This report highlights the rapidly changing patterns of e-cigarette use among youth and young adults, assesses what we know about the health effects of using these products, and describes strategies that tobacco companies use to recruit youth and young adults to try and continue using e-cigarettes. The report also outlines interventions that can be adopted to minimize the harm these products cause. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
