To examine the sources of vaping products reported by adolescents, and the characteristics of adolescents who reported purchasing a vaping product in the past year in the United States (US), Canada (CA), and England (EN).
Data were from the 2017 ITC Youth Tobacco and Vaping Survey, a web-based survey of 12,128 respondents aged 16-19 years recruited from commercial panels in the US, CA, and EN. Respondents who have vaped in the past 12 months were asked whether they had purchased a vaping product, and from where (vape shop, online, retail), as well as whether anyone refused to sell them a vaping product because of their age. Respondents who reported vaping in the past 30 days were asked where they had obtained their vaping product from a social and/or commercial source.
Only about 7.5% of respondents reported having purchased a vaping product in the past year. Among those who had vaped in the past year, 32.6% reported having purchased a vaping product in the past year. Purchasing prevalence was significantly higher among US respondents compared to those from CA and EN; purchase prevalence was also higher among Canadian adolescents than respondents from England. The most commonly reported purchase location for vaping products in all counties was vape shops. Among past 30-day vapers, 42.5% reported getting their vaping products only from social sources, 41.4% only from commercial sources, and 13.4% from both types of sources. Purchasing a vaping product in the past year was associated with being male, of legal age to buy tobacco and vaping products, and greater frequency of smoking and vaping in the past 30 days.
Most adolescents have not purchased a vaping product, but among those who had, vape shops were the mostly commonly reported location for buying a vaping product. Purchasing of a vape product was more commonly reported by those who vape more frequently and by those of legal age to buy a vaping product.
研究青少年报告的蒸气产品来源,以及过去一年中报告曾购买过蒸气产品的美国(美国)、加拿大(加拿大)和英国(英国)青少年的特征。
数据来自于 2017 年 ITC 青少年烟草和蒸气调查,这是一项基于网络的调查,调查对象为来自美国、加拿大和英国商业小组的 12128 名 16-19 岁的受访者。在过去 12 个月中曾吸过蒸气的受访者被问及他们是否购买过蒸气产品,以及从何处购买(蒸气商店、网上、零售店),以及是否有人因为他们的年龄而拒绝向他们出售蒸气产品。在过去 30 天内报告吸过蒸气的受访者被问及他们从社会和/或商业来源从何处获得他们的蒸气产品。
只有约 7.5%的受访者报告过去一年中购买过蒸气产品。在过去一年中吸过蒸气的受访者中,有 32.6%的人报告过去一年中购买过蒸气产品。与来自加拿大和英国的受访者相比,美国受访者的购买率明显较高;加拿大青少年的购买率也高于英国受访者。在所有国家,最常报告的蒸气产品购买地点是蒸气商店。在过去 30 天内的吸蒸气者中,42.5%的人只从社会来源获得他们的蒸气产品,41.4%的人只从商业来源获得,13.4%的人从这两种来源获得。过去一年中购买蒸气产品与男性、合法购买烟草和蒸气产品的年龄、过去 30 天内吸烟和吸蒸气的频率较高有关。
大多数青少年没有购买过蒸气产品,但在那些购买过蒸气产品的人中,蒸气商店是最常报告的购买地点。购买蒸气产品的报告更为常见于那些更频繁吸蒸气的人和那些合法购买蒸气产品的年龄较大的人。
