It’s getting out of hand

“It is also not the case that e-cigarettes act as a gateway for young people who eventually go on to smoke real cigarettes. A 2012 study found that only 7% of teenagers had tried e-cigarettes and that 91% of those were already smokers.

But data from the United States and the United Kingdom shows that youth smoking rates have also been on a downward trend — suggesting that the “gateway” hypothesis is nothing more than a myth.”
