National youth vaping rates are higher than previously thought and those with friends who vape are most susceptible, according to a study published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.
A national sample of 1,006 people aged 15–30 years were surveyed about their use of tobacco and vaping products, motivations, how they obtained e-cigarettes, exposure to others’ vaping, exposure to e-cigarette advertising and perceptions of harms associated with e-cigarettes.
