前言电子烟的几个特点，如糖果味，对于吸引年轻人来说是令人担忧的。目前的横断面研究使用了2014年德克萨斯州青年烟草调查(TYTS)的电子烟使用数据，TYTS是德克萨斯州初中生和高中生的代表性样本。这项研究的目的是确定德克萨斯州青少年中电子烟的使用率，包括同时使用其他烟草产品的比率，并描述电子烟使用者和非使用者之间的人口统计学和烟草使用差异。方法参与者是德克萨斯州13,602名6至12年级的学生。产生了描述性统计数据，以确定当前和终身使用电子烟的流行率，并确定电子烟使用群体中人口统计特征的流行率。结果近四分之一的初中生和高中生表示终生使用电子烟，14.0%的初中生使用电子烟超过30天。目前电子烟的使用者更有可能是高中生，白人和男性，而不是非当前使用者。目前和终身使用电子烟的人也比他们的同龄人更有可能使用其他烟草产品，尽管24.2%的当前电子烟使用者从未吸过传统香烟，7.3%的人从未使用过除电子烟以外的任何其他类型的烟草产品。结论调查结果突显了监管电子烟以及将这些产品纳入烟草预防计划的紧迫性。
IntroductionSeveral characteristics of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), such as candy flavorings, are worrisome for attracting youth. The current cross-sectional study uses data on e-cigarette use from the 2014 Texas Youth Tobacco Survey (TYTS), a representative statewide sample of Texas middle school and high school students. This study's aims are to determine the prevalence of e-cigarette use, including rates of concurrent use with other tobacco products among Texas youth and to describe the demographic and tobacco use differences between e-cigarette users and non-users.MethodsParticipants were 13,602 6th through 12th grade students in Texas. Descriptive statistics were generated to determine the prevalence of current and lifetime e-cigarette use and to determine the prevalence of demographic characteristics across e-cigarette usage groups. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine differences in demographic characteristics, cigarette use in the home, and tobacco use behaviors for e-cigarette users versus non-users.ResultsAlmost one quarter of all middle and high school students reported lifetime e-cigarette use and 14.0% were past 30-day users of these products. Current e-cigarette users were more likely to be high school students, white and male than non-current users. Both current and lifetime e-cigarette users were also more likely than their peers to use other tobacco products, although 24.2% of current e-cigarette users had never smoked conventional cigarettes, and 7.3% had never used any other type of tobacco product besides an e-cigarette.ConclusionsFindings highlight the urgency to regulate e-cigarettes as well as to include these products in tobacco prevention programs.
