With the pandemic keeping many of us sheltering at home these past three months, it has put teens who vape in a difficult predicament. How can they continue to vape while at home 24/7? How do they access vaping products? Just being isolated during the past months has increased anxiety, stress and depression for many of us and for adolescents, it's enough of a reason for some to start vaping or use more than they were before.
For other teens, COVID-19 has been the catalyst for them to quit vaping, whether they wanted to or not. But, the question remains to be answered, “Will they resume vaping when they leave their home and are among friends again who still vape?”
