Commentary on Foxon & Selya (2020): Social gradients in long-term health consequences of cigarette use-will adolescent e-cigarette use follow the same trajectory?

Abstract

E-cigarette harm evaluation should also look beyond the immediate physical harms, and include social and financial harms as well.
