电子烟是一种新颖的、电池供电的吸入装置，可为使用者提供温暖的汽化尼古丁，通常还提供丙二醇，而不会产生烟草烟雾。由于一般而言，男性比女性更有可能使用香烟和非法药物，因此开展了一项定性研究，以调查 47 名自称当前电子烟吸烟者的十几岁男孩对这一问题的信念和感知的社会规范。大多数受访者表示，他们使用电子烟是因为快速消费和隐蔽性。此外，受访者自我报告使用电子烟最常见的地方无处不在，在学校浴室、家里和学校楼梯上。有趣的是，受访者表示，电子烟之所以受欢迎，是因为它比烟草香烟更容易获得、更健康、更美观。由于电子烟的社会和身体后果越来越受欢迎和不确定性，这项研究表明需要更多的研究发现。
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are novel, battery-operated inhalation devices that provide warm, vaporized nicotine, and often propylene glycol, to users without the inclusion of tobacco smoke. Because men, in general, are more likely to use cigarettes and illicit drugs than women, a qualitative study was undertaken to investigate the beliefs and perceived social norms regarding this issue among 47 teenage boys who self-identified themselves as current e-cigarette smokers. The majority of respondents reported that they used e-cigarettes because of expeditious consumption and concealment. Furthermore, the most common places respondents self-reported using e-cigarettes were everywhere, in school bathrooms, at home, and in school staircases. Interestingly, respondents stated that e-cigarettes are popular because they are accessible, healthier than tobacco cigarettes, and more aesthetically pleasing. Because of the growing popularity and uncertainty regarding the social and physical consequences of e-cigarettes, this study shows a need for additional research discovery.
