More than half of adolescent E-Cigarette users had never smoked a cigarette: findings from a study of school children in the UK
Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are known for their use as a smoking cessation aid; however, experimental use in adolescence is a growing international concern. The proportion of adolescent EC users who have never used tobacco is rising. EC use is associated with later tobacco initiation in young people. Understanding adolescent beliefs about ECs is needed to inform public health campaigns and school education regarding the EC and the associated risks. (Source: Public Health)

Improving the health of children and young people: the World Health Organization Global Schools Health Initiative twenty-three years on
Writing an editorial for Public Health requires inspiration in one form or another. Sometimes, Hygiea, the ancient Greek goddess of health and our muse, is kind and there is an obvious candidate topic. But there are times when she is not, and that is when we turn to other sources of inspiration. One of which —for reasons which are lost in the midst of time—is known in the Public Health Editorial Office as the ‘traffic book’. This is the list of articles that are to be included in the volume of the journal for which the Editorial has to be written. (Source: Public Health)
