, noted Rinaldi, who speculated that many kids may have taken up vaping as they dealt with mental health issues or stress related to the pandemic.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers authored the new study, which is based on a Jan. 18 to May 31 online survey of about 28,000 U.S. middle and high school students. Despite its persistence, vaping appears to be less popular than it was: In 2019, 28% of high schoolers said they had recently vaped.In the last three years, federal and state laws and regulations have raised the purchase age for tobacco and vaping products, and banned nearly all teen-preferred flavors from small, cartridge-based e-cigarettes.
The complete base ideas are by high school
That means 28% lied about it....
It’s a lot better than cigarettes who cares
What? Teens are going to do what teens want to do, as they have for decades, regardless of how much fat momma govt steps in to regulate the piss out things? Unheard of!
You should've got Jamie Ducharme to write an article. She has her blind spots, but she's a better journalist than the AP hacks who wrote that propaganda piece.
Poll: Have you vaped before?
Poll: Is vaping addictive?
Vapers = 👇🏻
The most important thing is properly regulating vapes to ensure that they are as safe as possible for anyone using them. Have we not yet accepted the fact that teenagers don't always follow rules? This is apart of the maturing process.
Who cares
Ah so all the government restrictions and bans have had the opposite effect
Schools should have more brutally honest instruction about what alcohol, nicotine, and other 'legal' drugs do to the body, both short- and long-term effects, when consumed during our formative years.
I was smoking stolen cigarettes under an overpass at 13. Vaping helped me quits the cigs 23 years later. I'm not saying teen vaping is fine, but there are worse things they could be (and probably are) doing.
14% of high school students are NARCS
Sounds like there need to be stricter consequences if they are found vaping, distributing the illegal substances and/ or sharing it. Do HighSchools have a Drug rehabilitation program ? Teachers give a detention & Send them to classes for DRUG REHABILITATION & COUNSELING.
Where's the investigative piece on fentanyl pills and marijuana laced with fentanyl and how adolescents are dying from it. Tell it all cause our youth are in trouble.
Which only tells you the percentage willing to admit it.
