Vaping Linked to Depression

Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey concerning more than 890,000 adults, researchers estimate that current e-cigarette users are two times more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who have never used e-cigarettes, and the risk for depression increases in proportion with use. The results suggest that patients suffering from depression and other mental health conditions should be screened for tobacco dependence. JAMA Network Open, December 2019
