A new study from Adam Lippert, Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, and published in the journal Health and Place, found that certain school environments have an impact on electronic cigarette use among teenagers. Lippert’s research showed that students attending schools where e-cigarette use was very common were more likely to use themselves, regardless of personal risk factors including whether they smoked regular cigarettes or knew someone who did. "Our results indicate that there are certain types of schools that facilitate higher rates of e-cigarette use among students," said Lippert.
