Résumé : | This article provides a brief overview of e-cigarette devices and e-liquids, as well as the existing literature on general safety concerns of e-cigarette use, the potential use of e-cigarettes as aides for combustible tobacco harm reduction or cessation, and then largely focuses on e-cigarette use among adolescents. We will discuss epidemiological evidence documenting adolescent e-cigarette use rates, associations between e-cigarettes and other tobacco/substance use, existing evidence on the use of e-cigarettes for adolescent smoking cessation, and reasons for e-cigarette popularity among adolescents. We will also discuss regulatory and prevention efforts that are urgently needed to curb the e-cigarette epidemic among youth. [Extract] |
