A new study has raised concerns over rising vaping among South African high school learners . The research led by Professor Richard Van Zyl-Smith, from University of Cape Town found that e-cigarettes are now the most commonly used inhaled substance, often linked to cannabis and tobacco use.
The study involved 25 000 students.
Van Zyl-Smit says the surge in teenage vaping is fuelled by poor regulation, aggressive marketing and social media influence.
