Yale study finds state youth e-cig bans lead to increased traditional cigarette smoking
According to a recent study by Yale University, states, such as North Carolina, that have introduced e-cig bans to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes and vaporizers by those under the age of 18, have experienced an increase in youth traditional cigarette smoking.

The empirical findings provide the first causal evidence that e-cigarette access reduces teen smoking. Regression analyses consider how state bans on e-cigarette sales to minors influence smoking rates among 12- to-17-year-olds. Such bans yield a statistically significant 0.9 percentage point increase in recent smoking in this age group, relative to states without such bans.
