Daily e-cigarette use rising despite slight decline in current use among youngest adults
DALLAS July 22, 2022 — While overall current electronic cigarette use (meaning use within the past 30 days) fell slightly in 2020 from previous years, daily e-cigarette use has been steadily increas
The study authors used data from the 2017 to 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to study e-cigarette use among adults. There was a modest decline in current e-cigarette use (meaning use within the past 30 days) among U.S. adults from 5.5% in 2018 to 5.1% in 2020. The decrease was mainly driven by declines among young adults aged 18 to 20 years in current e-cigarette use. It’s also possible that the extensive public education and increased public awareness that accompanied the 2019 e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) outbreak may have played a role.
