Regular Exercise Linked to Higher E-Cigarette Use in Teens
New research suggests that regular exercise may increase the likelihood of teenagers using e-cigarettes.

A recent study suggests that teenagers who exercise frequently may be more likely to vape than their sedentary peers.


High school students who exercise regularly have a higher risk of using electronic cigarette products compared to their peers who exercise only one day or less per week. Compared to their less healthy peers, adolescents who engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity four to five days per week have a 23% greater likelihood of using electronic cigarette products. If adolescents report being physically active two to three days per week, their likelihood of using these products increases by 11%. These findings are from a recent study.


Researchers from the University of Georgia (UGA) recently published a new study online in the journal Tobacco Use Insights. This study is the first in the United States to link e-cigarette use with physical activity levels among high school students.
