With the growing popularity of vaping, evidence has emerged about the association between social media use and vaping among adolescents, possibly because of the proliferation of e-cigarette advertisements and other related content on social media. Our study examined the association between social media use and vaping among adolescents.
Using data from the 2019 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (N = 10,776), we conducted logistic regression models on adolescent vaping status (experimental and current vaping) by nondaily and daily use of social media platforms - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, controlling for other confounders.
Use of all 4 selected social media platforms was significantly associated with vaping status (P <.001 for all). Once jointly analyzed, daily use of Instagram was significantly associated with increased relative risks of experimental (adjusted relative risk ratio [aRRR] = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.38-2.25) and current vaping (aRRR = 1.51; 95% CI, 1.16-1.95); nondaily use of Snapchat was significantly associated with increased relative risk of experimental (aRRR = 1.57; 95% CI, 1.17-2.10) and current vaping (aRRR = 1.87; 95% CI, 1.31-2.66); daily use of Snapchat was associated with increased relative risk of experimental (aRRR = 2.38; 95% CI, 1.85-3.08) and current vaping (aRRR = 5.09; 95% CI, 3.78-6.86); nondaily use of Facebook was associated with increased relative risk of current vaping (aRRR = 1.20; 95% CI, 1.00-1.43), and nondaily use of Twitter was associated with increased relative risk of current vaping (aRRR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07-1.56).
Multilevel efforts are warranted to monitor social media use and vaping status among adolescents, including media use monitoring plans, developing counter-marketing campaigns, and strict regulatory action on social media.
随着 vaping 的日益普及，有证据表明社交媒体的使用与青少年 vaping 之间存在关联，这可能是由于电子烟广告和其他相关内容在社交媒体上的泛滥。我们的研究调查了社交媒体使用与青少年 vaping 之间的关系。
使用 2019 年佛罗里达州青少年烟草调查（N = 10776）的数据，我们通过非每日和每日使用 Facebook、Instagram、Twitter 和 Snapchat 等社交媒体平台对青少年 vaping 状态（实验性和当前 vaping）进行逻辑回归模型分析，同时控制其他混杂因素。
所有 4 个选定的社交媒体平台的使用均与 vaping 状态显著相关（所有 P <.001）。一旦联合分析，Instagram 的每日使用与实验性 vaping 的相对风险增加显著相关（调整后的相对风险比[aRRR] = 1.76；95%置信区间[CI]，1.38-2.25）和当前 vaping（aRRR = 1.51；95% CI，1.16-1.95）；Snapchat 的非每日使用与实验性 vaping 的相对风险增加显著相关（aRRR = 1.57；95% CI，1.17-2.10）和当前 vaping（aRRR = 1.87；95% CI，1.31-2.66）；Snapchat 的每日使用与实验性 vaping 的相对风险增加显著相关（aRRR = 2.38；95% CI，1.85-3.08）和当前 vaping（aRRR = 5.09；95% CI，3.78-6.86）；Facebook 的非每日使用与当前 vaping 的相对风险增加显著相关（aRRR = 1.20；95% CI，1.00-1.43），Twitter 的非每日使用与当前 vaping 的相对风险增加显著相关（aRRR = 1.29；95% CI，1.07-1.56）。
有必要采取多层次的努力来监测青少年的社交媒体使用和 vaping 状态，包括媒体使用监测计划、制定反营销活动以及对社交媒体采取严格的监管行动。
