The more time youngsters spend on social media, the more likely they are to pick up the habits, particularly at higher levels of use.
Those on social media more than seven hours a day are almost four times more likely to vape than non-users, and eight times more likely to smoke.
There is 'compelling evidence' that vape firms use online influencers for marketing to children, potentially driving cigarette and e-cigarette use.
Social media platforms have 'substantial power' to modify exposure to material that promotes smoking and vaping, influencing behaviors among youth.
