Key points:
1. A study has found that nearly 40% of young e-cigarette users in the Netherlands are unaware of whether their products contain nicotine.
2. Only 28% of monthly vapers reported feeling addicted, compared to 50% of cigarette smokers.
2Firsts, reporting from Shenzhen - A report by the Dutch Trimbos Institute on March 11 found that nearly 40% of young people who use e-cigarettes monthly are unaware whether their device contains nicotine, and more than two-thirds of the participants did not believe they were addicted.
The study surveyed young people in the Netherlands aged 12 to 25 who use e-cigarettes at least once a month.
The data from NL Time also indicated that young people feel less dependent on e-cigarettes than traditional cigarettes. Among monthly e-cigarette users, 28% said they felt addicted, compared with 50% of cigarette smokers.
Esther Croes, a tobacco expert at the Trimbos Institute, said:
"Young people seem less aware of the nicotine in vapes. This is a serious issue because once addicted, it is very difficult to quit."
The study also found that many respondents cited the flavors of e-cigarettes as the primary reason for starting to use them, with social influence and curiosity also playing significant roles.
