Why do youth vape?
Main Page Content
Some of the most common reasons youth experiment with, or use a vaping device include:
- curiosity
- peer pressure (direct or implied)
- boredom
- it’s become a normalized behavior (e.g., seeing friends and family using it makes it seem acceptable and normal, as well as social media influencers, ads on billboards and in magazines)
- addiction, they like the “hit” they get from nicotine
- appealing flavors (e.g. fruit, candy, dessert)
- devices are seen as trendy, or a status symbol
- they consider vaping “harmless” and “safer than smoking” in order to quit or cut down on smoking
