Summary: The use of electronic cigarettes and marijuana among U.S. high school students is widespread, with both being associated with negative health-risk behaviors such as unintentional injuries, violence, and alcohol use. Exclusive users of e-cigarettes and marijuana are more likely to engage in these behaviors compared to non-users, while current exclusive users have reduced odds of these behaviors compared to concurrent users. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive education efforts in high schools and further research on the impact of e-cigarette and marijuana use on youth injury and violence risk.
