Adolescent tobacco and e-cigarette use tied to increased depression and anxiety, especially with dual use
The study by Abdulhay et al. found that adolescents using e-cigarettes or tobacco products had higher rates of depression and anxiety. The complex relationship between tobacco use and mental health highlights the importance of addressing these issues during adolescence. Data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey showed that both e-cigarette and conventional tobacco use were linked to mental health problems. Tailored interventions are needed to address these concerns and combat tobacco use among teenagers.
