Correlates of vaping among adolescents in Canada

Vaping is more prevalent among younger than older Canadians. While vaping is less harmful than combustible tobacco, it is not without health risk. The primary objective of this study was to examine vaping in the past 30 days among 12- to 17-year-olds, using 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth data. The secondary objectives were to identify adolescents who reported vaping before tobacco smoking and to examine the vaping of nicotine and flavoured e-liquids using data from the 2020 Canadian Community Health Survey and the 2019 Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey.
