CDC: Over 2.5 million adolescents use e-cigarettes

More than 2.5 million students in grades 6-12 reported using electronic cigarettes in the past 30 days when surveyed this year, including 14% of high school students and 3% of middle school students, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . One in four students who used e-cigarettes used them daily, 8 in 10 used flavored e-cigarettes and over half used disposable e-cigarettes. Since 2014, U.S. youth have used e-cigarettes more than any other tobacco product.
鈥淚t鈥檚 critical that we work together to prevent youth from starting to use any tobacco product 鈥 including e-cigarettes 鈥 and help all youth who do use them, to quit,鈥 said Deirdre Lawrence Kittner, director of CDC鈥檚 Office on Smoking and Health.
