Blue Hole New Consumer Report, December 24 news, according to foreign reports, more than a quarter of British university students said they are addicted to Elf Bars, which is the largest survey of its kind.

A total of 27 percent of students admitted to being addicted to disposable e-cigarettes, while more than half (53 percent) said they had used an Elf Bar since school started in September.

Data show that in the e-cigarette study, the proportion of students who used Elf Bars who had never smoked was much higher than previously thought.

The study, carried out by student newspaper The Tab, is the first of its kind to measure their popularity at universities.

It surveyed more than 18,000 students at 24 universities through individual university Tab Instagram accounts.

University data are only recorded when at least 100 respondents respond to the questions asked.

The findings present an update on the prevalence of brightly colored e-cigarettes on campuses across the country.

Oxford Brookes has the highest percentage of students using the Elf Bar this year. 67% said they had used one since September. This is followed by Lincoln at 64%, Newcastle at 61%, Bristol at 61% and Manchester at 60%.

Most students have used the Elf Bar at 15 of the 24 universities surveyed.

At the other end of the scale, only 38% of people have used an Elf Bar in Oxford, and even lower at 26% in Cambridge. Durham also scored poorly for Elf Bar usage, with the same 40 per cent having used it.

Elf Bars are the joint strongest single-use e-cigarettes available in the UK, meeting the legal limit of 20mg/ml for high-strength nicotine salt e-liquids.

Each stick contains the nicotine dose of 48 cigarettes.

The Tab also surveyed how quickly students completed their nicotine doses in 48 cigarettes. To most students, they appear to be casual users.

60% said they buy new Elf Bars less than once a week. This figure shows little difference between universities, but is highest in Edinburgh at 65%, Glasgow at 64% and York at 64%.
