The 2011-2018 National Youth Tobacco survey estimated there was a 1.3 million increase in teen tobacco users from 2017 to 2018, all of which was linked to teen use of e-cigarettes, often called vaping
CVS Health, which merged with health insurer Aetna last year in the largest health care deal in history, said it will award the funds to support programs focused on youth smoking and e-cigarette prevention."The spread of e-cigarette use among youth jeopardizes the progress made in reducing smoking over the last two decades," Troyen Brennan, CVS Health's chief medical officer, said in a statement.
The rise was so significant that it has wiped out any progress in declining youth tobacco use in recent years, according to the reportThe increase in vaping was the single biggest jump in teen use of a tobacco product since the beginning of the survey in 1999, said Brian King, a deputy director in the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health and co-author of the report.
