concerned that they are also used as a fashionable \u2018lifestyle\u2019 habit for people who have never smoked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the latest study, researchers used surveys conducted by USC  on 300 teenagers in 2014, with around half of those asked saying they had previously tried an e-cigarette.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A follow-up survey a year later discovered that 40 per cent of those who had  vaped the year before had also tried regular cigarettes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-18a908b15af61a66\"

were six times more likely to try tobacco products, the study found\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This compared to about 11 per cent of those who said they had not tried an e-cigarette in the prior year&#8217;s survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The survey participants were at least 18 years old by the second survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After adjusting the statistics around gender, ethnicity, grade and parental education, scientists calculated teens who tried vaping were six times more likely to take up smoking than those who never tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">When looking at teenagers who said they had no intention to smoke on the first survey, researchers found the risk of moving from vaping to regular cigarettes by the next year was 10 times greater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, Dr Michael Siegel, a professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, said he had concerns over the study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He argued there was no proof vaping had prompted the teens to take up smoking as the initial surveys did not determine how many times the teenagers had used e-cigarettes..<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Siegel said: &#8216;What&#8217;s probably happening is these kids did not become regular vapers, they turned to smoking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;If they turned into regular vapers, they wouldn&#8217;t have turned to smoking.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The US Food and Drug Administration began a crackdown on e-cigarettes last month by banning under 18&#8217;s from purchasing the devices, following the same rules imposed by UK government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p

they lead teenagers to use tobacco<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 2015 that the devices be regulated as tobacco products due to concerns they would lead teens to regular cigarettes and also expose their developing brains to nicotine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Previous research found vaping is more dangerous than experts once thought and can cause infertility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The devices contain one million times more harmful substances than polluted air &#8211; including cancer-causing substances and flame retardants, some experts claim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Furthermore, scientists from the Baptist University in Hong Kong discovered for the first time some contain toxins linked to fertility problems and fetal development issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The latest study by USC was published in the journal Pediatrics.<\/p>\n<h3

taking party-goers hostage inside a gay club in Orlando was was 'angry after seeing two men kissing'.Law enforcement sources have identified the shooter, who was wielding an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun, as US citizen Omar Mateen, 29, from Port St. Lucie in Florida.  The gunman, who was born to Afghan parents, was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he opened fire on the dance floor inside Pulse in the early hours of this morning.At least 50 people were killed and 53 others were injured in the shooting in the deadliest mass shooting in US history.An FBI spokesman said the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism, adding that they are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf. The FBI believe the gunman, who was shot dead by officers, may have 'leanings to radical Islamic terrorism'.\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">ISIS claims responsibility for Florida gay club massacre:&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2016\/06\/12\/15\/352E004E00000578-0-image-m-14_1465740263776.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">&#8216;Tell them I&#8217;m in the bathroom.
