INTRODUCTION
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have grown in popularity, especially among youth and young adults. Although e-cigarettes were originally intended to vaporize a liquid mixture containing nicotine, there appears to be an increasing trend in other substance use in e-cigarettes (OSUE).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cross-sectional data from 1542 undergraduate college student e-cigarette users from a large Midwestern university were collected via online survey to assess prevalence of e-cigarette use, reasons for use, perceived harm, and prevalence and predictors of OSUE.
RESULTS
Nearly 7% (6.94%) reported using an e-cigarette to vaporize and inhale a substance other than nicotine. Current tobacco cigarette smokers were significantly more likely to report OSUE (51.0%) as compared with never (33.7%) and former (15.4%) smokers. Among respondents reporting OSUE, the primary reason for e-cigarette use was "safer than cigarettes" (21.7%), followed by "experimentation" (18.9%) and "friends use" (17.0%). Most (77.9%) reported using cannabis or some derivative of cannabis in an e-cigarette. Binomial logistic regression found that women were less likely to report OSUE by a factor of 0.60, former tobacco cigarette smokers as compared with never smokers were more likely to report OSUE by a factor of 1.87, and e-cigarette users who reported using e-cigarettes for "cool or trendy" reasons were more likely to report OSUE by a factor of 2.89.
DISCUSSION
Little is known regarding the health effects of cannabis and cannabis derivatives delivered through e-cigarettes. Concern may also be warranted regarding the potential dangers of this young population using substances more dangerous than cannabis in e-cigarettes. Knowledge is limited regarding the public health impact of vaping cannabis or other illicit substances among college student populations. This study stresses the need for continued research regarding the vaping of cannabis and other illicit substances among college students.
引言
电子烟越来越受欢迎，尤其是在青少年和青年成年人中。尽管电子烟最初旨在蒸发含有尼古丁的液体混合物，但电子烟使用其他物质（OSUE）的趋势似乎在增加。
材料与方法
通过在线调查收集了来自中西部一所大型大学的1542名本科大学生电子烟使用者的横断面数据，以评估电子烟使用的流行率、使用原因、感知危害以及OSUE的流行率和预测因素。
结果
近7%（6.94%）的人报告使用电子烟蒸发并吸入除尼古丁以外的物质。与从不吸烟者（33.7%）和曾经吸烟者（15.4%）相比，目前吸烟者报告OSUE的可能性显著更高（51.0%）。在报告OSUE的受访者中，使用电子烟的主要原因是“比香烟更安全”（21.7%），其次是“尝试”（18.9%）和“朋友使用”（17.0%）。大多数（77.9%）报告在电子烟中使用大麻或大麻的某种衍生物。二项逻辑回归发现，女性报告OSUE的可能性降低0.60倍，曾经吸烟者与从不吸烟者相比报告OSUE的可能性增加1.87倍，而报告因“酷或时尚”原因使用电子烟的使用者报告OSUE的可能性增加2.89倍。
讨论
关于通过电子烟输送大麻和大麻衍生物对健康的影响知之甚少。对于这一年轻人群在电子烟中使用比大麻更危险的物质的潜在危险也可能需要关注。关于大学生群体中吸食大麻或其他非法物质对公共卫生的影响，知识有限。本研究强调需要继续研究大学生中吸食大麻和其他非法物质的情况。
