The Bully-Victim Overlap and Vaping Activity Among Adolescents

“…Unfortunately, the majority of these studies do not distinguish the substance being vaped (i.e., nicotine or marijuana). This is an important limitation as previous research has demonstrated differing associations for marijuana and nicotine vaping across various outcomes such as delinquency (Jackson et al, 2019), health behaviors (Jackson et al, 2020), and other forms of illicit substance use (Boccio & Jackson, 2021). Of note, Jackson et al (2019) found that marijuana vaping not only has larger associations with most forms of delinquency than nicotine and flavor vaping, but it is also a stronger predictor of delinquency than traditional marijuana and nicotine use (i.e., cigarettes, smoking marijuana).…”

“…The majority of studies that have explored connections between vaping and bullying activities have measured vaping as whether or not an adolescent has used an e-cigarette (Azagba et al, 2020;Doxbeck, 2020;Hansen et al, 2021;Ihongbe et al, 2021;Pontes et al, 2021;Ragavan et al, 2021). While important to study, general measures of vaping treat all types of vaping similarly even though research has established that differential relationships exist between the various forms of vaping (Jackson et al, 2019(Jackson et al, , 2020. Thus, this study will contribute to the literature by exploring whether different forms of vaping are related to multiple types of bullying activities.…”

Étude des corrélats individuels de l’initiation à la cigarette électronique dans un vaste échantillon d’élèves canadiens du secondaire

“…Sur une période d'un an, près du tiers (29 %) des élèves canadiens du secondaire qui n'avaient encore jamais essayé la cigarette électronique ont déclaré avoir commencé à l'utiliser. Cela concorde avec les recherches montrant que la popularité de la cigarette électronique a connu une hausse rapide chez les élèves [41][42][43] . Les données indiquent également que les jeunes considèrent la cigarette électronique comme une option moins nocive que les cigarettes 44 .…”

Frequency of adolescent cannabis smoking and vaping in the United States: Trends, disparities and concurrent substance use, 2017–19

“…16 Available evidence indicates that young adults who use nicotine, especially through vaporizers, are more likely to subsequently use vaped cannabis, 17,18 which is indicative of common cooccurrence of substance use. [19][20][21] Examining these patterns across recent historical time remains relevant, however, given substantial increases in the proportion of adolescents who only vape (do not use substances in combustible forms) 22 and the rapid deceleration in the prevalence of alcohol, opioid and amphetamine and other noncannabis psychoactive substance use. 23 Further, cannabis is now the substance most likely to be first used among adolescents (historically, alcohol and tobacco were the first substances used), and links between cannabis and subsequent alcohol and tobacco use are becoming more tenuous.…”

“…Adolescent use of psychoactive products tends to correlate, and risks of substance use disorder and other harms increase with the number of substances used 16 . Available evidence indicates that young adults who use nicotine, especially through vaporizers, are more likely to subsequently use vaped cannabis, 17,18 which is indicative of common co‐occurrence of substance use 19–21 . Examining these patterns across recent historical time remains relevant, however, given substantial increases in the proportion of adolescents who only vape (do not use substances in combustible forms) 22 and the rapid deceleration in the prevalence of alcohol, opioid and amphetamine and other non‐cannabis psychoactive substance use 23 .…”
