HealthDay (11/10, Norton) reports, “Instead of being a safe alternative to smoking, vaping may serve as an enticing gateway to the cigarette habit for some teens,” researchers concluded in a study that “included more than 8,660 U.S. adolescents ages 12 to 17 who were surveyed between 2014 and 2016.” The study revealed that among teens “with no intention to smoke traditional cigarettes, almost 10% of e-cigarette users went on to try cigarettes, versus about 2% of other teens.” The findings were published online in the journal Pediatrics.
