Correlates of Ever Having Used Electronic Cigarettes Among Older Adolescent Children of Alcoholic Fathers

Abstract

introduction:Few studies have examined predictors of ever having used electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes) among older adolescents. This study examined correlates of ever having used e-cigarettes among adolescent children of alcoholic fathers.

Overview of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems: A Systematic Review

Prevalence and correlates of electronic cigarette use among adolescents in Greece: A preliminary cross-sectional analysis of nationwide survey data

“…Although counterintuitive (e.g., Lessard et al, 2014), this finding is suggestive that, owing to their rather modest emission effect compared to conventional cigarettes (Callahan-Lyon, 2014), adolescent e-cigarette use may go easier unnoticed by parents.…”

Electronic Cigarette Use and Exposure in the Pediatric Population

“…15 A recent survey of more than 15 000 US adolescents in grades 6 through 12 found that e-cigarette use was significantly lower in girls and in African American and Hispanic youth and higher for those who smoked conventional cigarettes or who had friends who smoked. 16 Among older adolescent children of alcoholic fathers, Lessard and colleagues 17 reported that e-cigarette use was associated with current use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. In another study, 18 adolescent users of e-cigarettes were found to be just as likely as tobacco users to report the use of alcohol, cigars, smokeless tobacco, and marijuana but were more likely to report the use of blunt wraps and hookahs.…”
