More teens are vaping marijuana than we thought, researchers say

According to a school based survey, nearly one of the eleven junior high school students use electronic cigarettes to smoke marijuana.

On the research letter published at JAMA Pediatrics on Monday, researchers analyzed the results of the 2016 national youth cigarette research, and as a result, over 20,000 students were born. 9% of respondents said that they are using marijuana for electronic cigarettes. Male students are more likely to report using marijuana

Approximately one-third of high school students and about a quarter of high school students report on the start of using marijuana in equipment

Following the announcement of the US Food and Drug Administration last week, this report was fashionable for young people

The agency said that if the major manufacturers can not prove that they are trying to prevent their use by children and young people, they will stop selling flavorful electronic cigarettes.

Scott Gottlieb said, "Teenagers are becoming general users, the proportion of general users is increasing." "We will have to take action"

In the 2017 National Youth Tobacco Survey of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States, we report that there are over 2 million junior high schools, high schools and university students. In addition, according to federal government preliminary data, the tuition fee for high school students has increased by about 75% this year.

For the first time in history, "Monitor the Future" asked how young people found nicotine, marijuana, seasoning. They discovered that a quarter of the 12th grade students found nicotine and 11.9% found marijuana. The evaporator turns liquid flavorings containing nicotine or cannabis into steam. In the United States, they are rarely regulated. Congress passed the law designed to regulate equipment in 2009, but after nearly 10 years the US Food and Drug Administration failed to issue regulations to guide the manufacturer. I do not want to do this before 2021.

In the 12th grade, nearly a third of the students reported using steaming equipment in the past and expressed concern about the health effects. However, from nicotine to marijuana, "just a seasoning" is what they call that device. This survey also revealed that the use of hookah and regular cigarettes is decreasing. The results of these surveys are based on the 2017 Future Surveillance (MTF) survey of 8, 10, and 12 graders students across the country, the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), a part of the National Institutes of Health, It is from scientists at the University of Michigan. research. In this survey, I asked teenagers about "change" in measuring the use of electronic vaporizers. It is worth noting that some surveys show that reading tags does not recognize the content of devices that many teenagers actually use.
