Young people who vape are more likely to use marijuana, according to a new study. The findings, researchers say, support the theory that nicotine rewires the developing brain, changing how people respond to and crave addictive substances.
"Adolescents have a brain that's still changing and developing," said Dr. Nicholas Chadi, the lead author on the study, who conducted the research as a fellow in pediatric addiction medicine at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.When a young brain is exposed to an addictive substance such as nicotine, it"tends to be sensitized to other substances; it tends to seek a thrilling, rewarding sensation," said Chadi.
The link between nicotine and marijuana is not new. A study published last year, for example, found that teens who vaped and used hookah were up to four times more likely to use marijuana later. Some teens put cannabis into e-cigarettes, with almost 1 in 11 middle and high school students saying they have vaped marijuana, according to a report published last year.
