This Is The Real Reason College Students Vape

A University of Buffalo (UB) study claims to have found what is driving large-scale experimentation with e-cigarettes among college students.

In contrast to older people, who typically vape to quit smoking, the survey of more than 429 college students from four universities who had ever used e-cigarettes found that more than 72 percent used them for enjoyment.

“Our findings suggest that college students and young adults may be more interested in using e-cigarettes for affective reasons, such as enjoyment or the pleasure they get from using these products, compared with use for cognitive reasons such as quitting smoking or because they perceive e-cigarettes to be a safer alternative to cigarette smoking,” the study’s lead author, Megan Saddleson, wrote.
