Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The rising prevalence of e-cigarette use among children and adolescents poses a significant challenge to public health prevention efforts. As these electronic nicotine delivery systems gain popularity among youth, concerns about the health impacts and long-term consequences have escalated. In this article, we delve into the concerning trends of e-cigarette use among the younger population, exploring the factors driving this phenomenon and evaluating the failures in current public health prevention strategies. By examining the regulatory gaps in e-cigarette marketing to the youth and proposing interventions to combat this growing issue, we aim to shed light on the urgent need for stronger policies and enforcement mechanisms to protect the health and well-being of our youth.
