Study results could keep panic at bay over arrival of HTPs and nic pouches in the US
A study by Brad Rodu and Nantaporn Plurphanswat analyses CDC data on smoking and vaping rates among US youths and adults since 2011. The research shows a decline in smoking among high schoolers as vaping rises, with a similar trend among young adults. The data suggests vaping has significantly reduced smoking rates, especially among younger age groups. The study also highlights the potential ease of transitioning between nicotine delivery methods. The findings offer a positive outlook on vaping's impact on public health, challenging misconceptions and urging a reevaluation of CDC data on youth nicotine use.
