This study aims to review the recent (2012-2017) available gender difference data on e-cigarette use among adolescents.
E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among adolescents, and recent study findings showed that e-cigarette use can lead to cigarette smoking. However, gender differences in e-cigarette use among adolescents are relatively unknown.
We used the search terms "adolescents" and "e-cigarettes" on PubMed and identified 652 articles. Of these, 16 articles (2.5%) examined gender differences in adolescent e-cigarette use. Boys appear to have greater use of e-cigarettes, but girls may be at increased risk if e-cigarettes are targeted to them, as it has been for cigarettes. Data on gender differences are limited, and future research should continue to examine gender differences in e-cigarette use. Trends in use rates could evolve with new regulations and innovations in e-cigarette marketing and product features.
本研究旨在回顾近期（2012 - 2017年）可得的关于青少年电子烟使用的性别差异数据。
电子烟是青少年中最常使用的烟草制品，近期研究结果表明使用电子烟会导致吸烟。然而，青少年电子烟使用中的性别差异相对尚不明确。
我们在PubMed上使用搜索词“青少年”和“电子烟”，共识别出652篇文章。其中，16篇文章（2.5%）研究了青少年电子烟使用中的性别差异。男孩似乎更多地使用电子烟，但如果像香烟那样将电子烟针对女孩进行营销，女孩使用电子烟的风险可能会增加。关于性别差异的数据有限，未来研究应继续探讨电子烟使用中的性别差异。随着电子烟营销和产品特性方面新法规及创新的出现，使用率的趋势可能会发生变化。
