A new CDC report released Friday found that 11% of 18- to 24-year-olds define themselves as current e-cigarette users — more than any other age group of adults.
Overall, the survey found that 4.5% of adults ages 18 and over vape. The survey defined current e-cigarette use as respondents who say they vape"every day" or"some days."conducted by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration.that researchers are finding that e-cigarettes with nicotine are associated with increased blood pressure and heart rate, but more research is needed on the long-term effects.
The need for more research on the topic was reiterated by Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos, director of the Tobacco Treatment Clinic at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "The effects of vaping on kids and adolescents is an addiction that can come about from the chronic exposure to nicotine," Galiatsatos said.
Galiatsatos told CBS News that vaping may cause a wide range of severe outcomes, but admitted that"we don't know the long-term consequences of electronic cigarettes." Complicating the issue is that while the FDA allows the marketing of tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes, it has not authorized the other flavored products which have flooded the market. "While I did it, I felt fine, but in between I would get nauseous," Alex said. The Morrins believe that the key to stopping vaping is to do it together.
