Recently, according to a report from Gbtribune, Kansas State University's "Healthy Living Lecture Series" kicked off with a warning about the risks of e-cigarettes. Expert Donna Gerstner shared some fascinating insights and observation results regarding e-cigarettes.
According to a recent study, 60.4% of students who regularly use e-cigarettes have reported experiencing symptoms of depression, compared to only 29.1% of individuals who have never used e-cigarettes. Furthermore, 42.5% of e-cigarette users are more likely to engage in self-harm, while 42% have expressed intentions to self-harm, and 37.5% have admitted to attempting self-harm. Moreover, 8 out of 10 teenagers who use e-cigarettes have also reported indulging in other substances such as alcohol and marijuana.
Gusstner said:
You can see that the situation of teenagers using e-cigarettes is indeed alarming," Gusterna also coordinates a funded project aimed at prevention and reduction of chronic disease risks associated with e-cigarettes.
According to a study conducted by the public health department in Kansas, over 48% of high school students have tried using e-cigarettes, with 22% currently using them. Health officials warn that tobacco use among adolescents, including the use of e-cigarettes, will have negative consequences, ultimately resulting in over 60,000 premature deaths among Kansas residents under the age of 18.
Gestner stated, "The tobacco industry is manufacturing e-cigarette products that are enticing to teenagers. These products include e-cigarette pens disguised as USB drives, ballpoint pens, watches, and even hoodies with smoke emitting from the zipper.
In her hometown, Glastonbury has been involved in an effort to pass a city-county ordinance to ban the sale of e-cigarette products to minors. Currently, a group is working to amend the school policy that suspends teenagers caught using e-cigarette products for the first time, as this only provides them an opportunity to use them at home.
