These electronic smoking \n\n\n\n\ndevices come in different shapes and sizes and can look like regular cigarettes, pens, and even flash drives (similar to the \n\n\n\n\npopular brand &#8220;JUUL&#8221;). E-cigarettes go by many names including vapes, e-cigs, e-pens, e-hookahs and mods.<\/p> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>E-cigarettes are not a U.S. Food &#038; Drug Administration (FDA)-approved smoking cessation aid. Not everyone is aware that \n\n\n\n\nthere is nicotine in most e-cigarettes in varying amounts. Some pods of e-cigarettes contain as much nicotine as one pack of \n\n\n\n\ncigarettes (Truth Initiative, 2019). The sleek shapes and appealing flavors such as cotton candy, mango, and strawberry have \n\n\n\n\nmade e-cigarettes especially enticing to youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Who uses e-cigarettes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Nationally, e-cigarette use among high school students doubled from 11.7% in 2017 to 27.5% in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"National Youth Tobacco Survey statistics.\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/natyouthtobsurv.jpg\"><br>\n\n\n\n\n(Source: Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Youth use of e-cigarettes has surpassed youth use of regular combustible cigarettes in Delaware. According to the 2017 Delaware \n\n\n\n\nYouth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) of public high school students conducted by University of Delaware on behalf of the state \n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Health and Social Services (DHSS), <strong>13.6 percent<\/strong> of students had used e-cigarettes in the past month while 6.2 \n\n\n\n\npercent smoked regular cigarettes. Approximately 38 percent of Delaware high school students reported ever trying an electronic \n\n\n\n\nvapor product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Delaware High School Student Current Tobacco Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"floatleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Delaware High School Student Current Tobacco Use\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/capturevape.jpg\"><br>\n\n\n\n\n2017 Delaware Behavioral Risk Factor Survey<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>According to the 2017 Behavior Risk Factor Survey (BRFS) conducted by DHSS, <strong>4.8 percent<\/strong> of Delaware adults currently use \n\n\n\n\ne-cigarettes, roughly the same percentage reported in the 2016 survey. However, within the adult demographic, <strong>12.7 percent<\/strong> of \n\n\n\n\n18- to 24-year-old adults and <strong>21.3 percent<\/strong> of males, ages 18-24, are &#8220;current users&#8221; of e-cigarettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Are e-cigarettes safer than regular cigarettes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Although e-cigarettes do not contain all of the same chemicals as combustible cigarettes, there are still health risks associated \n\n\n\n\nwith using them, especially for youth. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/Quick-Facts-on-the-Risks-of-E-cigarettes-for-Kids-Teens-and-Young-Adults.html\">According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/a>, e-cigarettes risks include \n\n\n\n\nthe following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n\n<li>Nicotine is highly addictive, and can harm adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<li>E-cigarettes can contain other harmful substances besides nicotine including lead, nickel, tin, and cancer-causing chemicals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<li>Many young people who use e-cigarettes also smoke cigarettes. There is some evidence that young people who use e-cigarettes may be more likely to smoke cigarettes in the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<li>Some of the ingredients in e-cigarette aerosol could also be harmful to the lungs in the long term. For example, some e-cigarette flavorings may be safe to eat, but not to inhale because the gut can process more substances than the lungs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<li>Defective e-cigarette batteries have caused fires and explosions, some of which have resulted in serious injuries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>What can be done to prevent youth from using e-cigarettes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are several resources available to assist with learning more about e-cigarettes and educating youth about the risks.

Despite this, the tobacco industry, including e-cigarette product makers, has continued to engage in school-based youth tobacco prevention initiatives. Because the presence of the tobacco industry in school settings may increase the likelihood of youth tobacco product initiation, public health and school-based efforts to prevent youth tobacco product use are encouraged to remain independent of tobacco industry influences.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/factsheet\/pdfs\/e-cigarettes-usb-flash-p.pdf\">CDC Factsheet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/teacher-parent\/pdfs\/parent-teacher-ecig-p.pdf\">CDC Infographic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catchinfo.org\/modules\/e-cigarettes\/\">CATCH<\/a><br>\n\n\n\n\n<strong>Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH)<\/strong> collaborated with researchers at Michael &#038; Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health to create CATCH My Breath\u2122, a youth e-cigarette, vape, JUUL, and vape prevention program specific to grades 5-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Parents:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e-cigarettes.surgeongeneral.gov\/documents\/SGR_ECig_ParentTipSheet_508.pdf\">Surgeon General Tip Sheet for Parents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/factsheet\/pdfs\/e-cigarettes-usb-flash-p.pdf\">CDC Factsheet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/teacher-parent\/pdfs\/parent-teacher-ecig-p.pdf\">CDC Infographic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/e-cigarettes.html\">Nemours E-cigarettes for Parents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Health Care Providers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e-cigarettes.surgeongeneral.gov\/documents\/SGR_E-Cig_Health_Care_Provider_Card_508.pdf\">Surgeon General Health Care Provider Conversation Card<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/pdfs\/OSH-E-Cigarettes-and-Youth-What-HCPs-Need-to-Know-20190327-508.pdf\">CDC Health Care Provider Tips<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/factsheet\/pdfs\/e-cigarettes-usb-flash-p.pdf\">CDC Factsheet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Teens:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"floatleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedirtytruth.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Dirty Truth Link\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/thedirtytruthlogo.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"floatright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kbgde.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kick Butts Generation Link\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/kbglogo.jpg\"><br>\n\n\n\n\nDelaware Kick Butts Generation  A youth-led program in schools and communities to counter tobacco marketing.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/teens\/e-cigarettes.html\">Nemours E-cigarettes for Teens<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Cessation Resources for Youth:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lung.org\/stop-smoking\/helping-teens-quit\/\">American Lung Association Cessation Resources for Youth<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruth.com\/articles\/hot-topic\/quit-vaping\">Truth- Ditch Juul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"smalltext\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/acrobat\/readstep2.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Download Adobe Acrobat Reader\" height=\"21\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/dhss\/img\/getacro60.gif\" width=\"60\"><\/a> Please note: Some of the files available on this page are in Adobe PDF format which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.
