The danger to teenagers' lungs from e-cigarettes isn't limited to those who vape: A new report finds many young bystanders are breathing in 'secondhand' fumes.
The researchers analyzed data from the U.S. National Youth Tobacco Survey, and found that about one-third of middle and high school students were exposed to vaping aerosols in 2018.
The trend is"concerning," because a number of possibly hazardous chemicals are released by e-cigarettes, said study corresponding author Andy Tan. Those chemicals include nicotine, heavy metals, aldehydes,"The majority of studies have concluded that passive exposure may pose a health risk to bystanders, particularly vulnerable populations such as children and teens," said Tan.
Much of the secondhand exposure is from living with or being around people who use e-cigarettes, Tan's team said. The report was published online Aug. 28 inTwo experts unconnected to the study agreed there's real cause for concern for teens' health.
