According to a new study, a number of teenagers are using e-cigarettes and similar devices to vaporize marijuana.
The study conducted by the Yale University has found that the high school students are increasingly using e-cigarettes to vaporize marijuana.Lead author Meghan Morean, assistant professor of psychology at Oberlin College in Ohio and an adjunct professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, said that students are increasingly using the device for vaping rather than smokingmarijuana in order to avoid getting caught.
She said, “Kids are using these things and one of the interesting things about vaporizing cannabis is that it doesn’t smell nearly as strong as burning weed. It lacks that real characteristic odor. This is a concern that has been raised by the police and in media stories. It’s pretty easy to conceal.”
The research included a total of 3,847 Connecticut high students out of which 27.9 per centtried e-cigarettes. Out of those, about 18per cent said that they have used them to vape marijuana, which means that a total of 5 per cent of the students have used the device to vape marijuana.
Backers of the electronic cigarettes have said that they are useful in helping people quit the nasty habit. However,health officials say there is no concrete evidence to prove that and warned that such devices also known as vape pens and e-hookahs may lead people into the habit of smoking.
