A recent study conducted by the University of Surrey in England reveals that vaping may have negative impacts on the mental health and sleep habits of young adults.
Researchers found that individuals aged 18 to 25 who use nicotine vaping products are significantly more likely to suffer from mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and rumination, as well as mental disorders. sleep, compared to their non-vaping peers.
The study, published in the journal Healthcare, examined more than 300 college students, about 15 percent of whom were e-cigarette users.
Results showed that vapers had lower levels of mindfulness, poor sleep quality, and high levels of rumination.
They also tended to be more solitary, have less self-compassion and consume more alcohol per week than non-vapers.
Strikingly, 95,9% of e-cigarette users were classified as having clinical levels of anxiety symptoms.
This finding highlights a concerning link between vaping use and anxiety symptoms, suggesting a vicious cycle where vaping is used as a means to relieve anxiety, but actually contributes to poorer sleep and ultimately , to a worsening of the mental state. The study raises important questions about the relationship between vaping, mental health and sleep, while recognizing the difficulty in determining whether anxiety leads to vaping or whether vaping particularly appeals to individuals already anxious for a variety of social and social reasons. psychological. It also suggests that interventions focused on mindfulness and combating rumination could be beneficial in reducing vaping use among young people.
At the editorial office, we first laughed a lot when we discovered this study, wondering when we were going to discover that it had been written by Professor Raoult...but that is not the case.
We stopped laughing, and we wondered why this study focused on electronic cigarettes and not on addiction in general, and more specifically on those linked to alcohol or nicotine. Finally, why does a sample of 300 young students, including 15% vapers (or approximately 45), become a representative sample allowing scientific conclusions to be reached?
At that precise moment we understood. If this had been the case the post mentioning the said study could not have had a title “putaclic”, and we would not be talking to you about it…
In summary: Not everything you find on the internet is necessarily false, but always biased… Whatever the case, if someone comes to talk to you about it, you now know what to answer them.
