“…The intervening mechanisms at work may not necessarily be linked to chemical addiction and may operate even if the substance vaped in e-cigarettes is not addictive or physically harmful. Other candidate intervening mechanisms include smoking expectancies, peer smoker affiliations, and attitudes toward smokers 23. The planned, future addition of a third wave of data will allow testing of a formal mediation model.…”

Objective To prospectively examine vaping as a predictor of future cigarette smoking among youth with and without previous cigarette smoking experience. A secondary aim is to investigate whether vaping may desensitize youth to the dangers of smoking. Methods Analysis of prospective longitudinal panel data from the nationally-representative Monitoring the Future study. The analysis is based on 347 12th grade students who were part of a randomly-selected subsample that completed in-school surveys in 2014 and were resurveyed one year later. Results Among youth who had never smoked a cigarette by 12th grade, baseline, recent vapers were more than four times [RR=4.78] more likely to report past-year cigarette smoking at follow-up, even among youth who reported the highest possible level of perceived risk for cigarette smoking at baseline. Among 12th grade students who had smoked in the past but had not recently smoked at baseline, recent vapers were twice [RR=2.15] as likely to report smoking in the past 12 months at the follow-up. Vaping did not predict cessation of smoking among recent smokers at baseline. Among never-smokers at baseline, recent vapers were more than four times [RR=4.73] more likely to move away from the perception of cigarettes as posing a “great risk” of harm, a finding consistent with a desensitization process. Conclusions These results contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting vaping as a one-way bridge to cigarette smoking among youth. Vaping as a risk factor for future smoking is a strong, scientifically-based rationale for restricting youth access to e-cigarettes.

“…Similarly, studies in the US have found that adolescents who use e-cigarettes are more likely to use marijuana (Unger et al, 2016; Wills et al, 2016a). Adolescent e-cigarette users in the US are often exposed to pro-vaping culture (i.e., vape shops, vaping websites, social media) that promotes opportunities to learn how to use and purchase vaping equipment (Budney et al, 2015a, b; Lee et al, 2016; Unger et al, 2016), which can be used to vaporize marijuana (Budney et al, 2015b; Morean et al, 2015).…”

Purpose This study evaluated whether e-cigarette trials among adolescents in Mexico who had not previously smoked cigarettes or used marijuana increased the likelihood of trial and use of conventional cigarettes or marijuana use at follow-up. Method A school-based longitudinal survey was conducted in 60 public middle schools from the three largest cities in Mexico. Students (12–13 years old) were surveyed in 2015 and followed up 20 months later (n= 6,574). Generalized estimating equations models were used to evaluate the association between e-cigarette trial at baseline and conventional cigarettes smoking and marijuana use at follow-up. Result Our findings suggest that early adolescents who have tried e-cigarettes but not cigarettes, were more likely to try conventional cigarettes, 20 months later (43% vs. 24%, respectively; RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.18–1.70). We also found that dual trial of conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes at baseline was associated with marijuana use at follow-up (20% vs. 4%, respectively; RR 2.67, 95% CI 1.78–4.02), whereas trial of only e-cigarettes was not independently associated. Conclusions Although the importation, distribution, and marketing of e-cigarettes have been banned in Mexico, adolescents who had tried e-cigarettes were more likely to have tried conventional cigarette and marijuana 20 months later. Policies and public health campaigns that promote information about the dangers and risk of e-cigarette use may be important to reduce adolescent use of e-cigarettes.

“…The "gateway effect" offers one explanation, where youth who would not have otherwise initiated cigarette use are more likely to do so after initiation of e-cigarettes [6]. In contrast, a common liability of risk for both cigarette and e-cigarette use, along with the use of other substances, including marijuana [7] is also theorized (e.g., a study by Vanyukov et al [8]). Dual use of both e-cigarette use and cigarettes is especially concerning as it is more heavily associated with binge drinking, marijuana use, other substance use, and poorer academic outcomes [9e11] than e-cigarette use alone.…”
