Another beautiful study proposed by Smerep which mixes everything and anything. The only thing to remember is this famous figure of 40% of smokers who have tested vaping and returned to tobacco, it would be interesting to know what they used as material!
A survey of the Smerep shows some decline in the e-cigarette among students. On the other hand, consumption of tobacco and cannabis remains high.
One in three students smoke tobacco, according to the Smerep health survey. To learn more about their practices, this mutual surveyed a representative sample via his website. The results reveal some surprises, especially regarding the electronic cigarette.
Among those who smoked in 2014, students are now only 16% to find that the e-cigarette is "better than tobacco", against 27% in 2013. 40% of smokers have tried vaping, but have returned to tobacco. Only 16% continued with an e-cigarette.
"This survey shows the" boomerang effect "experienced by the electronic cigarette in the face of its dazzling success of the past years", comments the Smerep in a 12 May 2015 release.
In decline also in non-smokers
The e-cigarette has also lost its novelty appeal among non-smokers. In this category, 56% tried the experiment last year and then quit. In 2013, 67% of non-smoking students found it “fun”; they were only 33% in 2014.
If the electronic cigarette loses ground, cannabis, however, retains all its appeal. One in four students say they smoke daily or occasionally. A worrying trend: more than 60% of people surveyed use cannabis as an anti-stress and more than 50% to forget their problems. A sign of student malaise?
