Is vaping better than smoking?
A graph representing some of the findings of the study, showing sweet flavoured vapes were the worst offendersA study by the University of Nebraska divided 200 teenagers into frequent , occasional and intermittent vapers.Both frequent and intermittent e-cigarette users had higher levels of lead and uranium in their urine than those who vaped occasionally, the study found.However, there was not a group of teenagers that did not vape at all as a comparison.
Kevin McConway, Emeritus Professor of Applied Statistics, Open University, who was not involved in the study, commented: “I certainly don't want teenagers to vape. Thirty per cent of 15-year-old girls in England have used an e-cig in the past month — far higher than the European average of 21 per cent.A report published by Action on Smoking and Health last June found 20.5 per cent of children in the UK had tried vaping in 2023, up from 15.8 per cent in 2022 and 13.9 per cent in 2020.Junior Andre’s secret girlfriend revealed & she’s already been on TV
