On this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole address the increasingly urgent issue of adolescent vaping. Rates of use of e-cigarettes containing nicotine by youth in Canada continue to be among the highest in the world. They speak with Dr. Madelynn Hannah, a clinical pharmacist, and Dr. Trisha Tulloch, a pediatrician specializing in adolescent and addiction medicine at CAMH and SickKids Hospital in Toronto. Both co-authors of the CMAJ article "E-cigarette use in adolescents.
Dr. Madelynn Hannah provides critical insights into the stark differences between nicotine exposure from vaping versus traditional cigarettes, highlighting the unexpectedly high nicotine concentrations found in many vaping products. She also shares her clinical experiences managing adolescents in nicotine withdrawal and the practical challenges of using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

Dr. Tulloch discusses the broader physiological impacts of nicotine on adolescents, including cardiovascular issues and the potential for seizures. She emphasizes the need for behavioral interventions and technological tools, such as mobile apps, to aid in vaping cessation. Dr. Tulloch also highlights the critical role of parental involvement in supporting youth through their journey to quit vaping.

The conversation covers recent regulatory efforts, including Ontario's ban on vaping in schools, and calls for stronger enforcement and possible bans to protect young people. The guests argue for more stringent measures and better education to mitigate the health risks of vaping among adolescents.

Throughout the episode, the guests underscore the urgent and serious nature of adolescent vaping, and the need for immediate action. They advocate for a multifaceted approach that combines policy responses, such as increased taxation with comprehensive education for parents and young people about the dangerous and addictive nature of vaping.
