New CDC MMWR: About 4.9 million middle and high school students were current users (used in the past 30 days) of some type of tobacco product in 2018, including e-cigarettes, cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookahs, and pipes. This was an increase from 3.6 million in 2017.pic.twitter.com/j2rtpWset2
This increase—driven by a surge in e-cigarette use (1.5 million more e-cigarette users)—erased past progress in reducing youth tobacco product use. No change occurred in use of other tobacco products, including cigarettes, during the past year.
Differences in tobacco product use exist across population groups and products. E-cigarette use is highest among boys, whites, and high school students.
Frequent use (more than 20 days in the past 30 days) of e-cigarettes increased from 20% in 2017 to 27.7% in 2018 among current high school e-cigarette users, but no significant change in frequent use was observed for other tobacco products.
Among current tobacco product users, about 2 in 5 (1.68 million) high school students and 1 in 3 (270,000) middle school students used two or more tobacco products in 2018.
I have a feeling the Tobacco industry will catch on and price themselves more effectively into the market as more and more young people choose to addict themselves to nicotine. This whole thing is a public health disaster.

E-cigarettes are not a tobacco product. Actual tobacco use has been declining for many years now.
