Harm perceptions of electronic cigarettes and nicotine: A nationally representative cross-sectional survey of young people in Great Britain
2018, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :In adults from the U.S. (Majeed et al., 2017) and Great Britain (Brose et al., 2015; McNeill et al., 2018), it appears that e-cigarettes are being perceived as increasingly harmful over time. Similar patterns are seen among young people in Great Britain, and the proportion who accurately perceive e-cigarettes as less harmful than smoking decreased from 73% in 2013 through 67% in 2014 and 2015 to 62% in 2016 (Eastwood et al., 2017). Harm perceptions of nicotine are often also incorrect.
Patterns, trends and determinants of e-cigarette use in 28 European Union Member States 2014–2017
2018, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless our estimates are similar to those reported in previous work classifying regular use across the EU (Farsalinos et al., 2016). Our findings of an increase in the use of e-cigarettes is in line with reports from a number of locations, including other studies in Europe and the United States (Zhu et al., 2017; Goniewicz et al., 2014; Dockrell et al., 2013; Eastwood et al., 2015). Assessment of levels of regular use is more useful than previous studies which have relied on experimentation with e-cigarettes, and thus produced higher levels of use.
The Association Between Smoking and Electronic Cigarette Use in a Cohort of Young People
2018, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :The rate of ever smoking in this study was 19.9% at baseline, which is lower than other findings in Great Britain in 2016 [5], but could be because of those lost at follow-up being more likely to smoke. The rate of ever e-cigarette use (11.5% at baseline) and findings that ever e-cigarette use was largely confined to those who had ever smoked, with a low proportion of never smokers having ever used e-cigarettes, was consistent with other findings in Great Britain [5,35]. Furthermore, only 4% of never smokers initiated e-cigarette use (vs. 32% of ever smokers).
