Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? I hope you are always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!

On this occasion, we will discuss a study that recently analyzed the 2018 Planet Youth survey, completed by 15-16 year olds, with the aim of identifying nicotine use behaviors and patterns among adolescents.

The study, titled "E-Cigarette-Only and Dual Use between Adolescents in Ireland: Emerging Behaviors with Different Risk Profiles," consisted of a cross-sectional analysis of a youth survey, with the aim of extracting nicotine use patterns within a 30-day timeframe.

A total of 4,422 adolescents were surveyed, of whom 22.1% were current nicotine product users, consisting of 5.1% e-cigarette only users, 7.7% conventional cigarette only users, and 9.3% dual users. The highest common behavior was dual use. Unsurprisingly, the likelihood of association for risk factors was weaker for e-cigarette only use, compared to cigarette only use or dual use.

Factors that reduce the likelihood of smoking

Participation in team sports was found to reduce conventional cigarette use. "Participating in team sports four times/week or more significantly reduced the likelihood of conventional cigarette and dual use but had no association with e-cigarette only use (Cig: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44 -0.90; Dual use: AOR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.93," read the study abstract.

"Similarly, having higher scores for conventional social norms reduced the likelihood of conventional cigarette and dual use but not e-cigarette only use. This is the first study to show, among a generalizable sample, that dual use is the most common behavior among adolescent nicotine product users in Ireland. Risk factor profiles differed across use categories and prevention initiatives should be aware of this."
