Two new studies find an association between vaping and mental fog.
Both adults and kids who vape were more likely to report difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions than their non-vaping, non-smoking peers. It also appeared that kids were more likely to experience mental fog if they started vaping before the age of 14.
While other studies have found an association between vaping and mental impairment in animals, this is the first to draw this connection in people. Led by Dongmei Li, associate professor in the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Rochester Medical Center, the team mined data from two major national surveys.

New York– There appears to be a clear link between e-cigarette use and mental fog as two new studies have found that those who vape were more likely to report difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions than their non-vaping, non-smoking peers.
It also appeared that kids were more likely to experience mental fog if they started vaping before the age of 14.
“Our studies add to growing evidence that vaping should not be considered a safe alternative to tobacco smoking,” said study author Dongmei Li, Associate Professor at University of Rochester Medical Centre (URMC) in New York.
The earlier children start vaping, the higher their chances of concentration problems
Vaping should, therefore, not be considered a safe alternative to tobacco smoking
Adults and kids who vape are more likely to experience concentration problems, according to two new studies.
The studies, published in
