Résumé :
An increase in youth vaping has raised concerns, particularly for young people who have never smoked. However, most vaping by never-smokers is occasional and transient and frequent vaping by never-smokers is rare. Vaping is not risk-free but there is limited evidence of significant harm so far to young people who vape. There is weak evidence that vaping is a gateway to smoking. In fact, the evidence suggests that vaping is diverting young people away from smoking overall and is displacing smoking at a population level. The risk of nicotine dependence is very low in never-smokers who vape. Vaping is likely to be beneficial to young smokers who switch to vaping. Policy measures to reduce vaping are discussed. A tightly regulated, risk-proportionate consumer model is recommended to restrict vaping by young people while allowing easy access for adult smokers, for whom it is an effective and popular quitting aid.
