According to the National Youth Survey, which was conducted between January 18 and May 31 this year in the United States and included 28,000 students, 14 percent of high school students and about 3 percent of middle school students said they had used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days.
Among those who used e-cigarettes, 42 percent said they use them frequently and 28 percent on a daily basis.
And 85 percent of young smokers indicated that they used flavored smoking products.
The survey also indicated that e-cigarettes have become the most consumed smoking product by middle and high school students since 2014.
An American study conducted for the American Heart Association showed that although stroke was more prevalent among traditional cigarette smokers, e-cigarette smokers were 15 percent more likely to have a stroke at a younger age, compared to traditional smokers.
According to Anwar Jassim Burhama, a member of the Permanent Anti-Smoking Committee at the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health and the representative of the State of Kuwait in the Alliance Federation for the Framework Convention on Anti-Smoking of the World Health Organization, there are studies that confirm the existence of a close link between electronic cigarette smoking and golden interference.
Bourahma added in an interview with “Sky News Arabia”: “The flavors in e-cigarettes tempt teenagers, but their harms are many, but laboratories do not tighten their analysis as they do with regular cigarettes.”
He explained that the main danger to electronic cigarettes is the flavor liquids that change after heating with heat, which necessitates the need for further analyzes and research to study its effects.
