目的:一些电子烟和其他电子烟产品(EVP)的青少年用户报告说,他们正在进行“vape技巧”(呼出气溶胶来制作形状)。然而,人们对这种行为知之甚少。我们检查了执行和观看vape技巧的频率和那些最有可能执行vape技巧的青少年EVP users.Methods样本的特征:我们使用社交媒体广告招募美国全国便利样本.青少年(n = 1,729)参加2016年9月的在线调查。入选标准要求参与者年龄为15-17岁,并在过去30 days.Results中至少使用过一次EVP:大多数使用EVP的青少年报告尝试(77.8%)和亲自观看vape技巧(83.7%)或在线观看(74.0%)。表演技巧的风险因素包括使用先进的vaping设备,每天vaping,白色种族,在社交媒体上看到和分享vaping信息的中等水平,以及认为EVP的使用在同龄人中更规范。尝试电子烟技巧的可能性下降的信念EVP的危害increased.Conclusions:电子烟技巧对青少年健康构成潜在威胁,如果他们鼓励非用户发起或当前EVP用户更频繁地使用或切换到先进的设备,产生更多的有害化学物质排放。进一步的研究应该检查执行vape技巧可能对健康的影响,未来的公共卫生运动应该通过了解这项活动对青少年的吸引力来了解。(C)2017年青少年健康和医学协会。All rights reserved.
Purpose: Some adolescent users of e-cigarettes and other electronic vaping products (EVPs) report performing "vape tricks" (exhaling aerosol to make shapes). However, little is known about this behavior. We examined the frequency of performing and watching vape tricks and the characteristics of those most likely to perform vape tricks among a sample of adolescent EVP users.Methods: We used social media ads to recruit a national convenience sample of U.S. adolescents (n = 1,729) to participate in an online survey in September 2016. Inclusion criteria required participants to be aged 15-17 years and to have used EVPs at least once in the past 30 days.Results: The majority of EVP-using adolescents reported trying (77.8%) and watching vape tricks in person (83.7%) or online (74.0%). Risk factors for performing tricks included using advanced vaping devices, vaping every day, white race, moderate levels of seeing and sharing vaping information on social media, and believing that EVP use is more normative among peers. Likelihood of trying vape tricks decreased as beliefs about the harmfulness of EVPs increased.Conclusions: Vape tricks pose a potential threat to adolescent health if they encourage nonusers to initiate or current EVP users to use more frequently or switch to advanced devices that produce more harmful chemical emissions. Further research should examine the possible health effects of performing vape tricks, and future public health campaigns should be informed by an understanding of the appeal of this activity for adolescents.
