Teens who vape higher doses of nicotine are more likely to become regular smokers, vapers

(University of Southern California) Even if it tastes like Gummi Bears and is inhaled as smoke-free aerosol, vaping higher concentrations of nicotine may increase how often teenagers use electronic cigarettes or smoke traditional cigarettes. This is the first study to evaluate the association of e-cigarette nicotine concentration with future smoking and vaping behavior in youth. In comparison to teens who vaped nicotine-free e-cigarettes, those who vaped high-nicotine e-cigarettes smoked multiple cigarettes per day on average.
