Surgeon General Warns E-Cigarettes Pose Significant Risks to Youth, Supported by Nearly a Dozen Groups and New Research
Nov 30, 2024, 01:54 PM
Public health officials and medical organizations have expressed increasing concern over the risks posed by flavored e-cigarettes and vaping among youth. The U.S. Surgeon General has highlighted the harmful effects of nicotine exposure on young people's learning capabilities and memory, which can lead to future drug addiction. A coalition of nearly a dozen medical and public health groups has stated that e-cigarettes present a greater risk to youth than any potential benefits for adults attempting to quit smoking. Studies indicate that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to nicotine addiction due to ongoing brain development, which can result in permanent effects. Additionally, new research has shown that vaping can have immediate adverse effects on vascular health, even in products that do not contain nicotine.
