E-cigarette and tobacco rates have dropped among high school students, while tobacco use has jumped for middle schoolers across the U.S., according to a new study from the CDC and FDA.
A new study from the CDC and FDA found that about 50% of students who ever tried e-cigarettes reported currently using them. E-cigarette and tobacco rates have dropped among high school students, while tobacco use has jumped for middle schoolers across the U.S.
Among high school students, past 30-day use of any tobacco product declined from last year to this year — from 16.5% to 12.6%. That drop was primarily driven by a decline in e-cigarette use . “Findings from this report underscore the threat that commercial tobacco product use poses to the health of our nation’s youth,” Kittner added. “It is imperative that we prevent youth from starting to use tobacco and help those who use tobacco to quit.”
Among middle and high school students, 2.8 million reported current use of a tobacco product. Also, 2.13 million students reported current e-cigarette use.
