目的：电子烟是作为戒烟或减少吸烟的工具销售的，近年来其使用量急剧增加。有关注的是，使用越来越多，特别是在青少年中，他们没有被用作戒烟工具，但作为一个新的经验，在自己的right.Methods：本研究评估的患病率和社会人口相关性的电子烟的使用和标准的香烟使用，并探讨在何种程度上电子烟似乎被用作戒烟工具。结果：电子烟实验的流行率很高（54%），与标准香烟（55%）相当。此外，20%曾尝试过电子烟的人从未尝试过标准香烟，在标准香烟的常规吸烟者中，戒烟的意图与电子烟的使用频率无关。使用电子烟和标准香烟的实验显著预测了较高的年龄，较高的社会经济地位和父母吸烟的标准香烟（特别是父亲）。男性轻微预测电子烟的使用，而女性显着预测标准香烟use.Conclusions：这些研究结果引起关注：电子烟的使用实验是非常高的，并没有与尝试戒烟标准香烟。相反，它使青少年接触到一种高度上瘾的药物（尼古丁），并可能为未来的吸烟习惯铺平道路。(C)2016年青少年健康和医学协会。All rights reserved.
Purpose: Electronic cigarettes are marketed as a tool to give up or reduce cigarette smoking, and their use has risen sharply in recent years. There is concern that use is increasing particularly among adolescents and that they are not being used as a cessation tool but as a novel experience in their own right.Methods: The present research assessed prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of e-cigarette use and standard cigarette use and also explored the extent to which e-cigarettes appear to be used as a cessation tool. This was assessed using a questionnaire administered to 1,486 French adolescents aged 16 years.Results: Prevalence of e-cigarette experimentation was high (54%) and comparable to that for standard cigarettes (55%). Furthermore, 20% of those who had experimented with e-cigarettes had never tried standard cigarettes, and among regular smokers of standard cigarettes, intentions to quit were not associated with e-cigarette usage frequency. Experimentation with both e-cigarettes and standard cigarettes was significantly predicted by higher age, higher socioeconomic status, and parental smoking of standard cigarettes (in particular the father). Being male marginally predicted e-cigarette use, whereas being female significantly predicted standard cigarette use.Conclusions: These findings give cause for concern: e-cigarette usage experimentation is extremely high, and is not associated with attempts to quit smoking standard cigarettes. Rather, it is exposing adolescents to a highly addictive drug (nicotine) and may pave the way for a future cigarette habit. (C) 2016 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. All rights reserved.
