This study used data from a nationally representative survey of Korean middle and high school students. The main analysis focused on 992 current users of cigarettes, e-cigarettes or both.
Longer daily e-cigarette use and dual use were associated with higher anxiety scores. The same significant association was not found for cigarette-only use. The researchers stress that the study was cross-sectional and the observed effects were modest.

View Original SourceMental health and nicotine use can influence young people in complex ways. Finding an association does not tell us whether vaping contributed to anxiety, anxiety influenced vaping, or other factors affected both.
The results nevertheless suggest that vaping behaviour may be useful to consider when assessing adolescent wellbeing.
Youth vaping prevention and mental-health programmes may benefit from recognising that nicotine use and emotional wellbeing can occur together.
Policies and prevention programmes should be based on the broader evidence about youth vaping. This study supports further research but does not by itself establish a causal mental-health effect.
اس تحقیق میں کوریا کے مڈل اور ہائی اسکول طلبہ کے قومی سروے کا ڈیٹا استعمال کیا گیا۔ مرکزی تجزیے میں 992 ایسے نوجوان شامل تھے جو عام سگریٹ، ای سگریٹ یا دونوں استعمال کرتے تھے۔
روزانہ زیادہ دیر ای سگریٹ استعمال کرنے اور دونوں مصنوعات استعمال کرنے کا تعلق بے چینی کے زیادہ اسکور سے ملا۔ لیکن یہ تحقیق ایک ہی وقت کے ڈیٹا پر مبنی تھی، اس لیے یہ نہیں بتایا جا سکتا کہ ویپنگ سے بے چینی ہوئی یا بے چینی رکھنے والے نوجوان زیادہ ویپ کرتے تھے۔
