More than 90% of teens agreed that tobacco use is dangerous in the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey while those who used candy-flavored e-cigarettes were significantly more likely to perceive tobacco use as less harmful. The vapers had a significantly greater likelihood of becoming smokers compared to those who did not use e-cigarettes.
LifeTip: Encourage your teens to avoid e-cigarettes in any form to lower their risk of becoming tobacco users. Attend “Overcome Addictions Naturally” with Dr. David DeRose for more recommendations.
