Total admissions to hospitals for vaping-related disorders, including both children and adults, have risen by 276% since 2020, the report said on Monday. There were 50 hospitalizations for vaping-related disorders last year, including 11 children aged four or under, the tabloid reported, adding that there were no preschoolers admitted to hospitals for smoking e-cigarettes in 2020, and only six young people required medical assistance. The admission of children for vaping-related disorders made up just 6% of total admissions in 2020, the report said. However, some 14% of the 365 vaping-related hospitalizations were those under the age of 19. The statistics further showed that in 2020, of the 97 people hospitalized, 19 were children; in 2021, of the 300 people hospitalized, 19 were children; in 2022, the number rose to 457, including five children; and in 2023, of the 365 people hospitalized, 50 were children. The report also said that females are now being admitted to hospitals for vaping problems more often — 57% of the total number of admissions in 2023 compared to 46% in 2020.
