Vaping causes harm and addiction in 'new generation' of users, major report warns

ABC  

The growing use of e-cigarettes, or vaping, in Australia poses a "serious public health risk" and threatens to introduce a new generation to smoking. "We reviewed the global evidence in order to support informed choices on vaping for Australia," said review lead author Emily Banks from the Australian National University's National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health. Professor Banks said the high and increasing rate of vaping among young people was causing addiction in "a new generation of users". In contrast, the report found "substantial evidence" that e-cigarette use results in dependence on nicotine, and that e-cigarettes can increase the uptake of tobacco smoking in people who don't smoke. "Every week we're hearing growing community concern about e-cigarettes in schools, the health harms and the risks of smoking uptake among young people," Ms Dessaix said.
