Teen Tobacco Use is Down

Teen smoking and the use of other tobacco products in the U.S. have plummeted this year, reaching the lowest levels in 25 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This significant decline is primarily driven by a drop in e-cigarette use among middle and high school students. The number of students using any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and traditional cigarettes, decreased by 20%, with current e-cigarette use dipping below 6%. 

This shift marks not just a reduction but also the lowest recorded youth tobacco use since the CDC's survey began in 1999, which is attributed to various public health measures, including price increases, age restrictions, and educational campaigns.

The CDC's findings suggest that efforts to curb youth tobacco use through a combination of legislative actions, public education, and enforcement against illegal sales are yielding results. Despite the overall positive trend, the CDC notes that while e-cigarette use has decreased, it remains the most commonly used tobacco product among teens. This indicates that while progress has been made, there's still work to be done to address the appeal and accessibility of these products to younger demographics. The data also highlights the importance of continuing these prevention strategies to maintain and further reduce youth tobacco consumption.
