Abstract
The prevalence of electronic cigarette use has been declared an epidemic by the U.S. Surgeon General in 2018, particularly among youth aged 18-24 years old. Little is known about the differential use of e-cigarettes by different groups. PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were used to find relevant articles. A total of 77 articles were included. The extant literature reveals disparities in e-cigarette use by race/ethnicity and sexuality/gender. There are conflicting conclusions regarding disparities by socioeconomic status.
期刊介绍:
The journal is dedicated to extensive reviews, minireviews, and special theme issues on topics of current interest in basic and patient-oriented cancer research. The study of systems biology of cancer with its potential for molecular level diagnostics and treatment implies competence across the sciences and an increasing necessity for cancer researchers to understand both the technology and medicine. The journal allows readers to adapt a better understanding of various fields of molecular oncology. We welcome articles on basic biological mechanisms relevant to cancer such as DNA repair, cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumor immunology, etc.
