Compared with young adults, underage teens had roughly 16-times the odds of reporting current use of the electronic cigarette JUULs in a national, probability-based sample.
Anecdotal reports have long suggested that the electronic cigarette brand is wildly popular among teens, but the newly published study by researchers with the anti-tobacco group Truth Initiative is among the first to provide numbers to back up those reports.
The survey findings, published online in the journal Tobacco Control, also suggest that underage users aren't just experimenting with JUULs -- they are becoming frequent users.
