今天我们要学的词是 vaping.
vaping 源自vapor,蒸汽。vaping 则是指吸入或呼出电子烟或类似产品。 A government study found a dramatic rise in vaping among children causing federal officials to press for measures that make it harder for kids to get new versions of e-cigarettes. 一项政府研究发现,青少年中吸电子烟的现象急剧增多,以致联邦官员要求采取措施,让孩子们更难获得新款电子烟。
Teens are consuming less alcohol, tobacco and opioids, but their vaping habits have hit an all-time high, new research says. 新的研究表明,青少年在酒类、烟草和阿片类药物上的消费较少,但他们吸电子烟的习惯却达到有史以来最高水平。
