New data from the survey of " US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "(CDC) now provide proof that the senior officials of this agency were wrong to not promote e-cigarettes in their last speeches.
Le NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) proposed a few days ago the results of a survey on the use of electronic cigarettes by American adults made in 2014. There are links between attempts to quit smoking and the use of e-cigarettes.
13% OF AMERICAN ADULTS HAVE TRIED THE E-CIGARETTE!
According to National Health Interview Survey 2014, 13% of American adults have already tried e-cigarettes, this figure even rises to 48% in smokers and 55% in recent former smokers. (defined as people who smoked their last cigarette at least one year before the survey). This statistic falls back to 9% for long-term former smokers (defined as people who smoked their last cigarette a year or more before the survey) and to 3% in adults who have never smoked.
The same investigation revealed that there were currently 4% adult regular e-cigarette users (who use it every day). Among these regular users we find 16% smokers, 22% recent former smokers, 2% long-time former smokers and only 0,4% No smoking.
In other words, non-smokers rarely become regular e-cigarette users, which suggests the CDC's fears are unfoundedespecially since there is no evidence that non-smokers who take up vaping are more likely to become smokers or that the growing popularity of e-cigarettes has given conventional cigarettes a boost. On the contrary, vape and smoking rates are moving in opposite directions. The data the CDC survey suggests is more than coincidence: Not only is vaping much more common in smokers than in non-smokers, it is also more common in recent ex-smokers than in long-term smokers. dated.
