摘要

最近，年轻人吸电子烟率的上升以及对新一代尼古丁成瘾者的担忧，促使包括电子烟在内的烟草产品的联邦最低合法购买年龄(MLPA)提高到21岁。本研究首次提出了关于电子烟MLPA法律有效性的回归不连续证据。通过对12年级学生的数据监测未来，我们获得了强有力的证据，联邦和州18岁的mlpa减少了15 - 20%的未成年人使用电子烟，减少了20 - 40%的频繁使用电子烟。这些发现表明，21岁的联邦MLPA可以有效地减少18至20岁青少年的电子烟使用。

Regression Discontinuity Evidence on the Effectiveness of the Minimum Legal E-cigarette Purchasing Age

Increases in youth vaping rates and concerns of a new generation of nicotine addicts recently prompted an increase in the federal minimum legal purchase age (MLPA) for tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to 21 years. This study presents the first regression discontinuity evidence on the effectiveness of e-cigarette MLPA laws. Using data on 12th graders from Monitoring the Future, we obtain robust evidence that federal and state age 18 MLPAs decreased underage e-cigarette use by 15–20 percent and frequent use by 20–40 percent. These findings suggest that the age 21 federal MLPA could meaningfully reduce e-cigarette use among 18- to 20-year-olds.
