“Public Health England’s Martin Dockrell hailed a new study by “The Fantastic Four” of tobacco and nicotine research. The team looked at claims surrounding a so-called teen epidemic of vaping in the United States. They analysed the National Youth Tobacco Survey to see if it could reveal the true picture of who is vaping and what this means. “Our analysis of data from the NYTS confirms the headline reports of a large increase in past-30-day use of e-cigarettes from 2017 to 2019. However, there was a strong association between lifetime history of use of tobacco products and use of e-cigarettes: in 2019, high school students who had smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime were some 18 times more likely to have used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days than students who had only ever used e-cigarettes and never other tobacco products. In 2018, use of e-cigarettes on 20 or more days in the past month was seen in only 1.0% of those who were otherwise tobacco naive and in 2019 the figure was only 2.1%.””
