A study released Monday indicates a recent surge in young tobacco users in the U.S., most of whom are vaping e-cigarettes on a daily basis
In 2017, a 40% increase in U.S. e-cigarette sales, which UCSD says was"driven by JUUL products," coincided with a notable increase in young daily smokers.
UCSD says more than 1 million American youths between the ages of 14 and 17 years old became daily tobacco users within two years of 2017. By 2019, more than three-quarters of those young smokers were vaping daily. Study co-author and UCSD professor John Pearce said,"This rate of youth tobacco initiation has not been seen since the early 1990s, prior to the implementation of tobacco control measures. Given the recent evidence of the potential health consequences of vaping flavored e-cigarettes, this sharp rise among youth requires urgent public health attention and action."
