On digital platforms, influencers systematically normalize vaping and mask the dangers of nicotine, exploiting youth who frequently turn to e-cigarettes as a maladaptive coping mechanism for underlying depression and anxiety, a behavior that not only traps them in a cycle of severe nicotine addiction but is also consistently linked to escalating rates of suicidality, impulsivity, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Although large-scale digital prevention campaigns have demonstrated some efficacy, the current landscape remains structurally insufficient to combat an addiction so deeply rooted in psychological distress. To reverse this digitally driven crisis, psychiatric nurses, researchers, and mental health professionals must take a leading role by repurposing the digital platforms that fuel this epidemic into powerful tools for public health defense, moving beyond generic warnings to actively deploy targeted, evidence-based digital prevention interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":50071,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services","volume":"64 6","pages":"8-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148139704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
