Getty ImagesAussie teens who vape may be more prone to mental health issues, a new study out of Sydney suggests. The research, published in Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry on Sept. 2, found a worrying one in five students had signs of serious depression.
They asked over 5,000 kids aged 12-14 from across NSW, Queensland and WA about their habits and feelings.
Kids feeling more stressed were way more likely to have tried vaping or be regular users. Moderately stressed teens vaped 74% more, while the most stressed ones vaped 64% more than their peers.
Dr. Emily Stockings, who helped run the study, says we need to tackle both mental health and vaping together.
About 1 in 12 kids surveyed said they'd vaped before. But the researchers were quick to point out that while vaping and mental health seem connected, they can't say one causes the other.
The CDC says e-cigs are packed with nicotine, which is super addictive and can mess with young brains.
While this study's a good start, the team says we need to dig deeper to really understand how vaping affects teen mental health.
