Abstract

The CDC reports more than 3.6 million adolescents and 20.8% of high school students currently use e-cigarettes.

E-cigarette use can result in an increase in respiratory airflow resistance, making it more difficult to breath, negatively impacting aerobic activity.

Nicotine can increase heart rate, blood pressure, vasoconstriction, endothelial dysfunction, and cause the acceleration of atherosclerosis.

Nicotine exposure is harmful for adolescent brain development with studies reporting attention-related decreases in brain activation within the frontal, parietal, subcortical, and occipital regions of the brain.

Ethanol, a common ingredient in found in 71% of e-liquid has been associated with reduced psychomotor function which would increase risk for contact sport athletes.

Focused Clinical Question: In adolescents, does sport participation reduce the prevalence of e-cigarette use?
