Article Synopsis
- E-cigarette use among college students is rising, posing heightened risks during the COVID-19 pandemic due to potential respiratory issues.
- A study involving 191 students examined how perceptions of peer behavior (descriptive norms) and peer approval (injunctive norms) influence e-cigarette use over the past 30 days, focusing on various demographic and lifestyle factors.
- Results indicated that both descriptive and injunctive norms were significant predictors of e-cigarette use, emphasizing the role of social influences on this behavior and suggesting areas for public health intervention.
E-cigarette use is increasing in popularity for high school students (Singh et al., 2016) and may be accompanied by negative health outcomes (Rankin et al., 2019).
