Résumé :
In this essay we examine the relative merits of leading studies on whether e-cigarettes pose significant threats to youths' health and well-being. While we focus on youth, the context occasionally requires that we address adult-relevant considerations as well. Overall we conclude that the risks for youth posed by e-cigarettes likely fall far short of those feared by the products' opponents. Conceivably, e-cigarettes may create a net benefit for some high-risk young people. We are mindful of our own risk of falling victim to signal-detection biases. Readers will judge for themselves the probity of our effort to avoid such biases. [Extract]
