Description
Jong Geol Jang and fifteen colleagues present a 2026 study of electronic cigarette and heated tobacco use among Korean adults across a decade. National survey data from 2013 to 2023 let the team track yearly prevalence and who uses these products.
Use rose overall to about seven percent in 2023, concentrated among men and people in their twenties and thirties, while ordinary cigarette smoking fell steadily. Ever having smoked was by far the strongest link, joined by younger age, higher body mass index, and being unmarried. The authors call for targeted public health action as tobacco habits shift toward newer products.
