Summary: The introduction of e-cigarettes in the US was followed by a slowing decline in current cigarette smoking and an acceleration in the decline of ever cigarette smoking. Traditional psychosocial risk factors suggest that most current cigarette smokers may continue smoking, while only a small percentage of current e-cigarette users may switch to cigarettes in the future.

Summary: This study examined the association between youth e-cigarette marketing exposure and e-cigarette use behavior change one year later, and found that recalled exposure to e-cigarette marketing was associated with reduced harm perceptions and various stages of e-cigarette use.

Summary: The study identified four different developmental pathways among adolescents: some adolescents start using e-cigarettes with a delay but quickly, some adolescents use e-cigarettes steadily from the beginning, some adolescents use both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, and some adolescents do not use e-cigarettes or traditional cigarettes. The findings also revealed that adolescents who were dual users had a greater number and severity of e-cigarette and combustible cigarette risk factors.

Summary: Research shows that initiating e-cigarette and cigarette use is associated with lower academic performance among youth. The study found that initiating e-cigarette use is independently associated with lower subsequent academic performance, highlighting the need for future research on preventing youth e-cigarette and cigarette use to improve academic performance.

Summary: The use of e-cigarettes among Hispanic youth, the largest ethnic minority in the United States, is higher than among non-Hispanic youth. This study identified predictors of e-cigarette uptake among e-cigarette naive youth in a predominantly low-income Hispanic community. The results showed that intention, outcome expectations, friendship network exposure, normative beliefs, and social acceptability were significant predictors of e-cigarette initiation, while intention and friendship network exposure were significant predictors of current use.

Summary: Positive subjective experiences at e-cigarette initiation were found to predict increased odds of subsequent past 30-day e-cigarette use, as well as a greater relative risk of dual/poly vs. non-use and exclusive e-cigarette use. This study underscores the importance of preventing initial e-cigarette use among adolescents.

Summary: This study analyzed the prevalence and frequency of youth e-cigarette use in the United States from 2014 to 2019, finding that smoking status has an impact on e-cigarette use among adolescents, with current smokers having the highest usage rate. However, frequent e-cigarette use among never smokers and former smokers also increased over the years.

Summary: The use of e-cigarettes by youth is associated with subsequent initiation of smoking, and this association persists even after accounting for time-varying factors and confounding variables. It is estimated that over half a million youth in the US started smoking because of previous e-cigarette use.

Summary: E-cigarette use is prevalent among youth in the United States. Some states have preemption laws that prevent more stringent e-cigarette regulations at the local level. This study identified 25 states with preemption laws in various policy areas, inhibiting public health progress and local authorities' ability to address the popularity of e-cigarettes among adolescents. States without preemption laws should adopt language that expressly saves local authority.

Summary: This study examined and compared trends in past 30-day cigarette smoking among US adolescents from 2002 to 2019, before and after the onset of the e-cigarette era in 2014. The findings suggest that the rate of decline in cigarette smoking prevalence among adolescents slowed down after the introduction of e-cigarettes in 2014, indicating a possible gateway effect between smoking and e-cigarette use at a population level.

Summary: This study found that internalizing and externalizing problems among youth were associated with increased risk for initiating cigarette smoking and exclusive e-cigarette use, but not with frequency of use. Schools and community public health practitioners should focus on prevention and intervention efforts among youth to improve mental and behavioral health, which could help prevent cigarette and e-cigarette use initiation.
