Research Summary
Associations between vaping, mental health and risky health behaviours over time in Australian men
Vaping is a significant public health concern, due to its association with other risky health behaviours. This research summary highlights that men who engage in risky behaviours (illicit drug use, heavy drinking, gambling or smoking) are more likely to engage in vaping.
