Gay Americans vape at more than double the rate of straight men, reports say.



The data, drawn from between 2019 and 2021, revealed that queer teenagers and young adults were also more likely to vape. More than 56 per cent of high-school students who identified as gay, lesbian or bisexual reported trying e-cigarettes, compared with 49.8 per cent of straight pupils.

Kristy Marynak, a senior science adviser at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a co-editor of the 837-page report, told NBC News: “Tobacco use is a singular health threat to LGBTQAI+ communities.

“This report finds that nearly one in five of all deaths in the United States [is] caused by tobacco, and it shines a light on the disproportionate burden borne by certain communities, including LGBTQAI+ communities.”

While there isn’t much research into the long-term health risks of vaping, given that the products are relatively new, experts have warned that the nicotine in e-cigarettes was still highly addictive

Report that Sgt Major Kabera Shadrack is the commander who shot at Bobi Wine leg in Bulindo is UNCONFIRMED. Uganda’s leading opposition figure Bobi Wine was shot in the leg in a confrontation with police Tuesday just outside the capital, Kampala, and was “seriously injured,” his political party said.
