Cross-sectional evidence from 9750 adolescents in wave 3 (October 2015\u2013October 2016) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) survey was used. Adjusting for demographics, lifetime number of cigarettes and cigars used, home rules about tobacco use, and tobacco used by other household members, we used logistic regression models to examine associations between ENP use and its respiratory manifestations in the past year. Among 9750 adolescents, 12% (n = 1105) used ENP in the past year. Compared to non-users, past-year ENP-users had 37% higher odds of wheezing in general (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.37, 95% Confidence interval (CI): 1.11\u20131.71, p = 0.005) and higher odds of wheezing 4\u201312 times or &gt;12 times per year versus no wheezing (AOR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.01\u20132.46, p = 0.05 and AOR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.04\u20136.41, p = 0.04, respectively). Additionally, odds of dry cough at night were 23% higher among ENP-users than among non-users (AOR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.04\u20131.46, p = 0.02). There was no association between past-year ENP use and exercise-induced wheezing or asthma diagnosis. Among those with asthma, there was no evidence of an association between ENP use and long-acting inhaler or quick-relief inhaler use. ENP use among adolescents is associated with increased frequency of wheezing and dry cough. Early recognition of pulmonary clinical manifestations among young ENP users should be critical considerations in regulatory and prevention efforts to protect public health, and clinical efforts to prevent progression to serious pulmonary complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18158208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,3]],"date-time":"2021-08-03T08:16:39Z","timestamp":1627978599000},"page":"8208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Association of Vaping and Respiratory Health among Youth in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study Wave 3"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5634-1478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christie","family":"Cherian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Pulmonology, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Buta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yale Center for Analytical Sciences, Yale School of Public Health, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralitza","family":"Gueorguieva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Yale School of Public Health, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suchitra","family":"Krishnan-Sarin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1490","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMc1910739","article-title":"Trends in Adolescent Vaping, 2017\u20132019","volume":"381","author":"Miech","year":"2019","journal-title":"N.
