Assessment of Nicotine and Cannabis Vaping and Respiratory Symptoms in Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Rates of e-cigarette use (ie, nicotine vaping) and cannabis vaping continue to increase among youth and young adults. However, the association of nicotine and cannabis vaping with independent respiratory health outcomes has not been well studied.

Objective

To investigate associations of nicotine and cannabis vaping with bronchitic symptoms, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

Design, setting, and participants

Cross-sectional survey data on self-reported lifetime, 6-month, and 30-day vaping from 2553 young adults recruited from high schools in Southern California were collected from June 2018 to October 2019. Of these participants, 94% provided data for shortness of breath and wheeze, and 86% provided data for chronic bronchitis.
