HealthDay (7/2, Thompson) reports a new study suggests that “social media is helping spur the e-cigarette epidemic among America’s teens.” Researchers found that “nearly 15,000 Instagram posts related to Juul, the most popular e-cigarette brand, were released between March and May 2018,” and “more than half of the posts focused on youth culture or lifestyle-related content that would appeal to teens.” The study was published in the journal Tobacco Control.
