"For the goal of the study, teens were considered “current users” if they had smoked either product one day within the past month, and “past users” if they had smoked prior to 30 days past."

“Our findings really suggest there’s a lot of kids who are using these e-cigarettes”, Barrington-Trimis said.
Ten percent of the teens were now using e-cigarettes. “In addition, if pediatricians are not specifically screening teens to understand whether they are using e-cigarettes"


Using the definition of "Use" to mean "tried once in the past month" these "Public Health" and Tobacco Control Nazis continue to deceive the public into believing that Teen vaping is an epidemic - 5150

Purely subjective on my part but I don't think teens will switch to cigs. After a delicious vape, a cig tastes nasty. Why switch?

Another reason the gateway theory is a lie to scare people into taking freedoms away from adults.

If the millions that they spend on anti smoking education is doing anything at all. Which I believe it is. These teenagers already know that it is harmful to there health in the long run and there wallet in the short run. Heres a novel thought !!! maybe the government could investigate healthier alternatives. Anybody got any ideas !!!!!

I know that a big reason that kids smoke is peer pressure. I don't believe we will ever be able to eliminate that. It is part of being a teenager to rebel and take control of their lives. But I don't believe for one minute that kids are stupid. If vaping was the latest peer pressure instead of smoking. The reasonably intelligent teenager would vape to be one of the gang. But hopefully it would be zero nic and even if it wasn't at least lung cancer wouldn't be there reward. Ok off the soapbox.
