Late-starters in vaping reach high usage levels more rapidly
A recent study revealed that young Americans who start vaping after high school graduate quickly progress to using e-cigarettes frequently, within about a year. Those who start vaping in high school typically take three years to reach frequent use. Late initiators, beginning around age 20, are at a higher risk of rapid progression and JUUL usage. Over 2,000 Californian students were surveyed from 9th grade (14-15 years old) until young adulthood, identifying four user groups. Researchers suggest targeting early adulthood in vaping harm reduction policies. The study underscores the impact of JUUL and highlights the risks associated with late initiation of vaping.
