Reduction of Vaping Incidence in the Military

Abstract

The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among youth and young adults is currently a growing global health concern. In 2015, the Defense Health Agency and Department of Defense surveyed active-duty personnel and results showed 35.7 percent increase in e-cigarette use, which is a nearly eight-fold increase from 2011 data (Meadows et al, 2018). The adverse effects of vaping are of particular concern due to required readiness health standards.
