According to a recent study utilizing Google Trends data, residents of West Virginia are conducting a high volume of searches for electronic cigarettes.
According to ProVape research, West Virginia has the highest number of searches for keywords related to vaping among its population. These search terms include "vape shop," "vape," "vaping," and "vapes," among others. West Virginia searched for the terms "vape" and "vaping" more than any other state.
Each state has a ranking score ranging from 6 to 117, with lower scores indicating a greater affinity for e-cigarettes. While the exact methodology for assigning scores has not been disclosed, West Virginia has received the lowest score to date with a score of 6. The state in second place received a score of 23. The ranking indicates that West Virginia is significantly ahead of its competitors in terms of e-cigarette usage.
According to the ranking, closely following is the states of Wyoming, Kentucky, and Hawaii. The states least enamored with electronic cigarettes are California, New York, and Maryland.
It's important to note that the Google Trends data doesn't necessarily indicate how many people in West Virginia are using e-cigarettes, but rather how many people are searching for information related to them. While these numbers themselves are not affected, it should also be noted that the study was conducted by an e-cigarette retailer which included pro-nicotine statements in their published materials.
Over the past few years, there has been ongoing controversy regarding whether e-cigarettes are a good alternative to smoking. In the past month, e-cigarette manufacturer Juul has agreed to pay a $440 million settlement for marketing its high-nicotine e-cigarette products, which have long been accused of fueling the nationwide surge in teen e-cigarette use.
