Youth source of acquisition for E-Cigarettes
As rates of traditional cigarette smoking have decreased among youth over the past several years, rates of e-cigarette use have increased. Little evidence exists on how youth obtain e-cigarettes. We used data from middle and high school students under the age of 18 who reported using an e-cigarette...

description | As rates of traditional cigarette smoking have decreased among youth over the past several years, rates of e-cigarette use have increased. Little evidence exists on how youth obtain e-cigarettes. We used data from middle and high school students under the age of 18 who reported using an e-cigarette in the past 30 days from the 2017 North Carolina Youth Tobacco Survey (n = 640). We used chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regressions to examine correlates of access and place of acquisition. Over half (51.5%) of youth report acquiring e-cigarettes from a friend. Youth in 12th grade had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a vape shop (aOR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.25, 5.15) or retail outlet (aOR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.90) than youth in middle school. Compared to non-Hispanic white youth, Hispanic youth had lower odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a vape shop (aOR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.20, 0.87). Youth living with someone who uses e-cigarettes, compared to those who did not, had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a family member (aOR: 3.95, 95% CI: 1.94, 8.05). Finally, current smokers had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a retail outlet (aOR: 3.28, 95% CI: 1.88, 5.70) and lower odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a friend (aOR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.77). Youth primarily reported obtaining e-cigarettes from a friend. Living with someone who uses e-cigarettes may be a risk factor for acquiring e-cigarettes from family members. Identifying sources of e-cigarette acquisition will help inform interventions preventing youth e-cigarette access. |
