HFS warns about teen e-cig use and vaping By Doug Hogan/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - An explosion in the popularity of vaping and e-cigarette products like "Juul" has prompted the U.S. Surgeon General to issue a health advisory warning teenagers about the dangers of vaping and using e-cigs. The move comes as new research shows a 78 percent increase in e-cig use among high school students. Our Public Health Commissioner, Dr. Jeff Howard, says vaping and e-cigarette is an emerging public health issue. The Commissioner encourages everyone to make sure that young people and teenagers are aware of the risks with e-cigarettes and do as much as possible to prevent the use of e-cigs. Elizabeth Anderson-Hoagland, with our Tobacco Prevention and Cessation program says young people are attracted to the flavors of these products and then once they try the flavors they get the nicotine hit. So they come because it tastes good and they stay because it's addictive. According to the Surgeon General's announcement, "E-cigarette aerosol is not harmless. Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine -- the addictive drug in regular cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can harm the developing brain--which continues to develop until about age 25. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can impact learning, memory, and attention. Using nicotine in adolescence can also increase risk for future addiction to other drugs. In addition to nicotine, the aerosol that users inhale and exhale from e-cigarettes can potentially expose both themselves and bystanders to other harmful substances, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deeply into the lungs."
