E-cigarette: Gateway hypothesis in study not confirmed

 

Representatives of the health policymakers and the World Health Organization (WHO) have not yet recognized e-cigarettes as an exit from tobacco consumption. The long-term consequences will only be apparent in a few years. In addition to the health aspects, critics of the e-cigarette regularly also lead the so-called gateway hypothesis against Vaping. The gateway hypothesis comes from the medical field and refers to the context of the consumption of a drug that increases the likelihood of using other drugs. In the case of the electronic cigarette, it should lead to the consumption of conventional cigarettes. But what is the gateway hypothesis regarding the e-cigarette?

Young people have little interest in classic cigarettes

Many critics are of the opinion that the e-cigarette is an entry-order drug and subsequently seduces the young people, but to try a cigarette. However, a study commissioned by the Ministry of Health shows other figures: Thus, only a fraction of the 300 pupils, aged between 14 and 24, have indicated that the e-cigarette has come to the "taste" be. Even a study published in the "DA" has impressively demonstrated that there is apparently no connection between trying out the e-cigarette and another tobacco consumption. The two studies are likely to underline the arguments of the supporters with their results and to reject the argument of the gateway hypothesis. Basically, the advantages of the e-cigarette seem to be too clear, that steamer take the opposite way and then change to conventional cigarettes or enter. In addition to the health-threatening effects of conventional cigarettes, the strong cigarettes smell of tobacco cigarettes in the body and clothing may not seem particularly attractive to many Vapers.

Very well, there are smokers who are no longer cigarettes, because they use their e-cigarette and have become so-called "steamers". The figures also show that young people who came into contact with e-cigarettes do not automatically fall back on cigarettes. It is becoming increasingly clear that the e-cigarette is sometimes a help for smokers who want to challenge the classic cigarettes.
