“…26 The prevalence of current smoking among adolescents varies in different regions and countries 16,20 as found in Latin America, where the prevalence ranged from 1% to 23.1%. 8 The main risk factors for current smoking in ado-lescents vary among different studies; however, friendship networks and low socioeconomic level can play a major role in smoking initiation and current smoking. 7,15,18,22,23,[27][28][29] In this study, parental smoking was not associated with smoking onset or current smoking; it is probable that under such vulnerable conditions of life, adolescents' initiation and continuance of smoking are influenced by their peer group.…”

“…[1][2][3] Globally, the prevalence of smoking in children and adolescents is high, [1][2][3][4][5][6] even in well-resourced countries 1,2,6 ; however, it would be higher in developing countries where a high proportion of adolescents are current smokers and started tobacco-smoking at an age of £12. 1,4,7,8 In Latin America, 8 the prevalence of current smoking in adolescents varies widely; from 1% in Havana (Cuba) to 23.1% in Cordoba (Argentina). A high prevalence of tobacco-smoking was previously found in adolescents from the same urban area where the present study was conducted 9,10 ; however, there are no recent data at a population level on tobacco use and other related factors in adolescents from low-resourced metropolitan areas, which may be representative of other areas with health inequalities.…”

“…Os solventes mais populares usados são a glicerina (geralmente de origem vegetal) e o propilenoglicol, além do glicerol que pode estar presente ou não.

“…Vários casos de e-liquids falsificados ocasionaram mortes em 6 jovens usuários nos EUA em 2019, de uma "Doença Pulmonar" ainda pouco conhecida. No Brasil, esse dispositivo é proibido e tal proibição é regulada pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) (Urrutia- Pereira et al, 2019). Apesar disso, os reais efeitos destes produtos sobre a saúde dos usuários ainda não são totalmente conhecidos, mesmo que os recentes casos de mortes e doenças respiratórias nos EUA e no Brasil associadas a eles tenham ajudado a levantar suspeitas contra os cigarros eletrônicos.…”
