Teen e-cig users more likely to smoke tobacco

E-cigarettes may tempt kids into trying tobacco.

Teens who use e-cigarettes are more likely to start smoking cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products than teens who don’t use e-cigarettes, researchers report in the Aug. 18 JAMA. The study is the first to draw a link between e-cigarette use and later experimentation with tobacco.

“The question of whether e-cigarette use promotes cigarette smoking has now been answered — and the answer is yes,” says tobacco control researcher Stanton Glantz of the University of California, San Francisco.
