School-based E-cigarette cessation programs: What do youth want?

Krysten Bold et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the needs of school-based vaping cessation programs among youth. The findings showed that youth want such programs to include education about the health effects of vaping, relatable personal anecdotes from others, and rewards for quitting. However, there were concerns about confidentiality, lack of interest/apathy or embarrassment among youth, and the need to verify abstinence. The survey data also revealed that youth want to learn skills to cope with stress, relax, and improve concentration. Developing effective vaping cessation programs that appeal to youth is crucial for addressing youth e-cigarette use.

Association between e-cigarette use and future combustible cigarette use: Evidence from a prospective cohort of youth and young adults, 2017-2019

Elizabeth C. Hair et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals who reported using e-cigarettes in 2018 were more likely to initiate smoking, currently smoke, and continue using e-cigarettes in 2019 compared to those who had never used e-cigarettes. This suggests a significant risk associated with e-cigarette use among youth and young adults, highlighting the need for strong regulation of all nicotine products to prevent the transition from e-cigarettes to cigarettes.
