Parental views and knowledge of adolescent e-cigarette use
Czaplicki L, Perks SN, Liu M, et al. Support for E-cigarette and Tobacco Control Policies Among Parents of Adolescents. Nicotine Tob Res. 2020 Jun 12;22(7):1139-1147.
“Data were from a 2018 nationally representative sample of US parents of 11- to 18-year-old middle and high school students. Analyses were performed among the full sample (n = 2743) and among current tobacco users (n = 355). The majority of parents, including current tobacco users, supported tobacco control efforts to protect adolescents. More than 90% of all parents supported restrictions on e-cigarette marketing to youth and 75% supported a ban on flavored e-cigarette sales. Additionally, more than 80% of all parents supported increasing the age of tobacco product sale to 21, limiting tobacco retailer density near schools, and keeping tobacco products out of view where youth shop. Presence of strict home tobacco rules or reporting a high priority to prevent child’s e-cigarette use were significantly associated with higher odds of policy support.”
