A study analyzing data from a survey of youth aged 16-19 found a link between vaping frequency and respiratory symptoms, particularly with the use of nicotine salts and multiple flavored products. Over a quarter of participants reported respiratory issues, with cough being the most common symptom. The study also found that more days of vaping, nicotine salt use, and different flavors were associated with increased odds of respiratory symptoms. Additionally, those who both smoked and vaped had higher odds of experiencing symptoms. The authors suggest that characteristics enabling more frequent and prolonged vaping could worsen negative respiratory effects. Limitations included the inability to determine causality and missing confounders.
