E-Cigarette Use and Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety Among US Middle and High School Students
Moderate-to-severe symptoms of depression and anxiety are common among youth who use e-cigarettes. Youth with these symptoms may need additional support to prevent or quit e-cigarette use. Integrating mental health support into comprehensive approaches to tobacco use prevention and cessation, paired with strengthening the foundations of healthy communities for youth, may reduce youth e-cigarette use.
