While qualitative research has indicated that adolescents' motivation for e-cigarette use is different than adults', this body of literature has not yet been brought together and synthesised. We reviewed qualitative evidence on perceptions and uses of e-cigarettes in order to explore the emerging norms of vaping among adolescents. We searched five databases for qualitative research in October 2019 with no restrictions on date of publication or data collection. We identified fifteen papers from thirteen studies. Using a meta-ethnographic approach, we identified a spectrum of descriptive and injunctive norms of vaping across the themes of addiction; perceptions of comparative harm; parental perceptions and peer perceptions. We found addiction and perceptions of comparative harm to reflect descriptive norms, while we found clearer evidence explaining the use and non-use of e-cigarettes through parental and peer approval of vaping. However, these norms were fluid, diverse and sometimes contradictory. This review provides a resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners to better understand the ways that emerging norms could be influenced through policy and practice.
虽然定性研究表明，青少年使用电子烟的动机与成年人不同，但这方面的文献尚未被综合整理。我们回顾了关于电子烟认知和使用的定性证据，以探讨青少年中新兴的 vaping 规范。我们于 2019 年 10 月在五个数据库中搜索了定性研究，对发表日期或数据收集没有任何限制。我们从 13 项研究中确定了 15 篇论文。使用元民族志方法，我们根据成瘾、对相对危害的认知、父母认知和同伴认知这三个主题确定了一系列描述性和规范性的 vaping 规范。我们发现成瘾和对相对危害的认知反映了描述性规范，而我们通过父母和同伴对 vaping 的认可，发现了更清晰的解释电子烟使用和不使用的证据。然而，这些规范是多变的、多样化的，有时甚至是相互矛盾的。本综述为研究人员、政策制定者和实践者提供了一个资源，以更好地了解通过政策和实践影响新兴规范的方式。
