Description
Vargas-Fernández and Hernández-Vásquez in Lima give Peru its first national portrait of teenage vaping. The 2024 national school survey covered over forty-five thousand urban secondary students. Ever use, recent use, current use, and dual use with cigarettes were weighted. Access routes and motivations for use were tallied too.
Sixteen percent had tried e-cigarettes; about seven percent currently used them. Girls started earlier than boys and reported higher ever use. Corner stores sold to nearly a third of users despite regulations. Flavor led the stated motivations, ahead of curiosity and stress relief.
