Note that this article doesn’t say what percentage of teens claim to believe they’re vaping only non-nicotine products. With n = 500, and with about 20% of the sample vaping, if you assume that 20% of those kids are claiming to vape nicotine-free pods and 40% of those are misinformed or lying, you end up with... 8 kids out of 500 who said they avoid nicotine but actually don’t. Which is a non-story.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoYour scenario sounds horrific. If 1.5% of all teens are getting nicotine unknowingly, that's a huge story.
- intuitionist 7y agoAgreed, but that seems less likely to me than a handful of teenagers misunderstanding the question and/or deciding it would be funny to fuck with the researchers.
