Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and other vaping devices have seen extraordinary growth in use in the past 10 years, and companies are accelerating their development of new products and marketing efforts. In turn, researchers have increased their efforts to determine how e-cigarettes affect health, how marketing these products impacts adolescents and how the use of e-cigarettes may affect adolescents' use of other tobacco products. Products like Juul were not on the market 2 years ago; thus, frequent updates on the topic are essential.
Studies have begun to demonstrate that users of the newer pod systems are exposed to high levels of nicotine, as well as other chemicals. These products are highly marketed, with a strong emphasis on how adolescents can use them surreptitiously. This is concerning to researchers, and other studies have continued to demonstrate that teens who use e-cigarettes are more likely to go on to use combusted tobacco. Further research has also failed to demonstrate that e-cigarettes are useful for people wishing to quit smoking combusted tobacco.
E-cigarettes and vaping systems are not safe products and should not be used by adolescents.
目的综述:在过去的 10 年中,电子烟和其他蒸气设备的使用呈指数式增长,各公司也在加速开发新产品并加大营销力度。相应地,研究人员也在加大力度研究电子烟对健康的影响、这些产品的营销对青少年的影响,以及电子烟的使用如何影响青少年对其他烟草制品的使用。两年前市场上还没有 Juul 等产品,因此,需要经常更新相关信息。
最新发现:研究开始表明,较新的烟弹系统使用者会接触到高浓度尼古丁和其他化学物质。这些产品的营销力度很大,重点强调青少年如何可以偷偷使用。这令研究人员感到担忧,而其他研究也继续表明,使用电子烟的青少年更有可能继续使用可燃烟草。进一步的研究也未能证明电子烟对希望戒烟的可燃烟草使用者有用。
总结:电子烟和蒸气系统不是安全产品,不应被青少年使用。
