Einfach Mal Selbst Gedacht

Studie aus den USA stellt fest, das der Gebrauch von Tabakprodukten unter Jugendlichen kein Massenphänomen ist. (13.01.2020)

Das Team Allison M. Glasser, Amanda L. Johnson, Raymond S. Niaura, David B. Abrams, Jennifer L. Pearson hat in der am 13. Januar 2020 veröffentlichten Studie: Youth Vaping and Tobacco Use in Context in the United States: Results From the 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey festgestellt, das über 80% der Jugendlichen in den USA weder Rauchen noch Dampfen. Ein Massenphänomen, das Jugendliche Tabakprodukte nutzen, gibt es nicht.

Results

In 2018, 81.4% of students had not used any tobacco or vapor product in the p30d, and 86.2% had not vaped in the p30d. Among all students, of the 13.8% vaped in the p30d, just over half vaped on ≤5 days (7.0%), and roughly a quarter each vaped on 6–19 days (3.2%) and on 20+ days (3.6%). Almost three quarters of p30d vapers (9.9%) reported past or concurrent tobacco use and the remainder (3.9%) were tobacco naïve. 2.8% of students were tobacco naïve and vaped on ≤5 days; 0.7% were tobacco-naïve and vaped on 6–19 days, and 0.4% were tobacco-naïve and vaped on 20+ days.

Conclusions

Vaping increased among US youth in 2018 over 2017. The increases are characterized by patterns of low p30d vaping frequency and high poly-product use, and a low prevalence of vaping among more frequent but tobacco naïve vapers
