New Consumer Report, January 3rd, according to foreign news reports, according to a new survey of The TAB, 21% of students in Edinburgh, Scotland, said they were addicted to ELF BAR electronic cigarettes.

This is the lowest number of all British universities, including Birmingham (27%), Nottingham (29%), Oxford Brooks (32%), and Kaowen (35%).

However, since September 2022, nearly half of the Scottish capital has used brand electronic cigarettes (49%), while the highest level of the University of Oxford Brooks is 67%, while the minimum utilization rate of Cambridge University is 26%.

About two -fifths of Edinburgh students use ELF Bars in social occasions, and less than one -third of students using ELF Bars every day.

Throughout the United Kingdom, average 27% of students admitted to being addicted to disposable electronic cigarettes, and more than half of students (53%) have used ELF BAR since the start of school in September.

The Tab carried out the first survey to measure the use of British students in ELF Bars. The personal Instagram account operated by the local student reporter team of The Tab has collected a reply from more than 18,000 students from 24 universities. Only at least 100 interviewees answered the question that the university's data will be recorded.

More than half of Edinburgh students did not smoke before they started using ELF Bars. ELF Bars aims to reduce nicotine addiction over time and eventually let people quit smoking.

Dr. Lion Shahab, a professor of health psychology at the University of London and the Joint Director of the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group of the University of London, said in an interview with The Tab that these statistics are "a bit worrying" because the electronic cigarettes are designed to become the hazard of those people to reduce the harm of those people. The product is already addicted.

He said he was not surprised by the results of the investigation, because the research of his department found that the number of 18 -year -old adolescents using electronic cigarettes from January 2021 to April 2022 increased by 56%.

In Edinburgh, 16% of students reported that they spent ELF BAR during the process of going out of the day or one night, and students with similar proportion purchased more than twice a week.

TAB has talked to students from all over the country to understand why the elf bar is so popular. Lucy is the last year of the University of Edinburgh. She said: I may say that I am addicted to ELF Bars, and I buy a few per week.

"I tried to keep it in the social environment, but the situation is not always the case. In the past few years, the number of people using them will definitely increase — oms feel more traditional than old e -cigarettes. Accept. "She added.

A series of surveys from British universities show that there are differences in this number because 30% of the students at Dulun University passed ELF Bars in one or one night.

Although non -smokers are increasingly using electronic cigarettes to cause concerns, the British Ministry of Public Health finds that electronic cigarettes are 95%lower than smoking.

The trend of using ELF BAR nationwide in Britain is obvious. Mia is the last year of the University of Bristeo. She said, "Everyone I know thinks that this is just a matter of university, and they have fallen into this very short -lived mentality."

Emily, who was studying at the University of Manchester about one year ago, bought her first ELF BAR, and now I bought one within two days.

Dr. Shahab said: To some extent, more and more students may be surprised to use Elf Bars, but what surprises me is that many of them have obviously never smoking.

"Before launching these new disposable devices, I always thought we had achieved the correct balance. The use rate of young people was very low, mainly limited to smokers."

"However, in this case, as the number of electronic cigarettes from smoking has surged, I really think that we may have to adjust slightly in our method of dealing with this problem."
