More than one in five 15-year-old girls use electronic cigarettes, new statistics show, with the rise of vaping among that age group reminiscent of smoking levels more than a decade ago.
The research found 21% of 15-year-old girls admitted to currently using e-cigarettes in 2021, more than double the amount recorded by NHS Digital in 2018 (10%). The proportion of girls who vape was seven percentage points higher than boys of the same age.
