- Even as makers of e-cigarettes insist they are not marketing to U.S. youth, others in the vaping industry are offering academic scholarships targeted to high school kids, a new study finds.

“E-cigarette scholarships to youth and young adults are concerning particularly now because of the vaping epidemic,” said coauthor Dr. Adam Goldstein, director of tobacco intervention programs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After hearing about examples of vaping-company scholarships, Goldstein and colleagues wanted to know more about the practice.

Some sites suggested that students write essays in response to questions such as: “What are the different types of e-cigarettes and what would you recommend?” and “Why do you think vaping is a safer alternative ?” Dr. Albert Wu was taken aback by the findings. “But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised,” said Wu, an internist and a professor of health policy and management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. “It sadly appears to be another example where the truth is more shameless than fiction.”
