Abstract

This article focuses on a meta-analysis of seven prospective studies examining the association between exposure to electronic cigarette (EC) advertisements and EC use. The analysis found that exposure to EC advertising, particularly in retail stores and on the Internet or social media, is significantly associated with increased EC use among adolescents and young adults. No significant association was observed for exposure to EC ads on TV, radio, or billboards. Given concerns that EC use may act as a gateway to conventional cigarette smoking in youth, the study suggests the need for stricter regulations on EC advertising in these influential venues.
