| Résumé : |
The number of children and young people who consume smokeless nicotine products has increased considerably in the past 5-10 years. Today, children and young people are exposed
to a growing selection of nicotine products, including e-cigarettes, pouches, Swedish snus and chewing tobacco among others. The ample selection of available nicotine products in conjunction with their low price compared with cigarettes, the taste additives used and a packing that appeals to children and young people may be attractive to these groups and contribute to their rising popularity.
In view of the increasing consumption of this addictive drug among children and young people, the National Centre for Health Promotion and Prevention perceives that with this report we meet a need to present current research-based knowledge about the consequences of nicotine consumption for the health and wellbeing of children and young people. Additionally, the report summarises knowledge about tobacco prevention with the aim of strengthening the decision basis for preventive measures targeting nicotine consumption.
Prevalence of nicotine products
In Denmark, around one in every three (31%) children and young people aged 15-29 years consume some type of nicotine products daily or occasionally. Excluding consumption of cigarettes
from the figures, 14.7% of children and young people consume nicotine products. In other words, around half of the children and young people who consume nicotine products only use other nicotine products than cigarettes. Among the smoke-free nicotine products, the more prevalent ones are Swedish snus and nicotine pouches.
Health risks
Among the harmful effects of nicotine for children and young people’s health, the effect on the development of the brain is particularly worrying. The human brain is not fully developed until around 25-30 years of age, and use of nicotine at a young age has various negative effects on the development of the brain.
Dependence and addiction: Nicotine is an appealing substance because it has an energizing effect and elevates mood. Furthermore, it is one of the most addictive drugs known.
Gateway effect: Based on current research originating from human and animal studies, The Working Group assesses that moderate to strong evidence supports that nicotine increases
the likelihood of becoming addicted to cigarettes and drugs in general. Thus, nicotine seems to
have a so-called ‘gateway’ effect. |
