Vaping in Australia: Study explores e-cigarette exposure and calls for stronger control measures Cigarette Vaping Nicotine PublicHealth Smoking Tobacco anzjph UNSW
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Apr 4 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM The World Health Organization has warned about the negative health consequences of e-cigarettes and the possibility that tobacco consumption is renormalized through public exposure to vaping. As a result, Australia has adopted a precautionary approach to regulating e-cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are known to contain an array of toxins, which are often mislabelled. While the combined use of tobacco and e-cigarettes could help some to quit smoking, this could be problematic due to a number of factors, such as higher overall nicotine intake, more sensitivity to smoking cues, and greater risk of adverse respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes.
Key Results The results provide crucial information about how young people access and use e-cigarettes. In the current sample, the current use prevalence was estimated to be 14%, significantly larger than 4.8% among 25–29-year-olds and 4.5% among 15–24-year-olds. The ever-use results were more comparable. It was previously documented that 41% of 18–39 years olds had tried or used e-cigarettes.
