Almost 2 Million Fewer U.S. Teenagers Are Vaping Now Compared to Last Year, CDC Data Show
from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . “Youth e-cigarette use remains an epidemic,” CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said in a statement released Wednesday, but the decline in underage vaping is dramatic.
About 20% of U.S. high school students and 5% of middle schoolers who responded to the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey said they’d used an e-cigarette in the last 30 days, compared to 27.5% and 10.5% in 2019. That means about 3.6 million teenagers are now considered current e-cigarette users, down from 5.4 million last year.for Food and Drug Administration approval after a years-long regulatory lull. The FDA gained the ability to regulate e-cigarettes in 2016. At that point, companies were required to apply for agency approval before selling any new products, but manufacturers that had e-cigarettes on the market before 2016 were not required to submit applications for their products until now.
