NEW STUDY: “Electronic Cigarette Use Among College Students: Links to Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Smoking, and Heavy Drinking” http://bit.ly/JACHe-cig is available for FREE ACCESS from JOURNAL OF AMERICAN COLLEGE HEALTH. Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use continues to rise, and current data regarding use of e-ci******es among college students are needed. The study connects e-cigarette use in colleges to high rates of alcohol consumption and other factors such as: gender, race/ethnicity and traditional ci******es. The rise of e-ci******es may be a positive consequence of cigarette smokers who use this product to quit smoking -- however, e-cigarette use does not always reflect an attempt to reduce cigarette smoking and may instead indicate a general propensity to use psychoactive substances, especially among emerging adults.
