Decline in tobacco and vaping use among US high school students

According to the CDC, there has been a decline in tobacco and vaping use among high school students in the US for the second year in a row. Cigarette use has decreased from 14% to 10%, primarily due to reduced e-cigarette use. This decline represents 580,000 fewer high school students using e-cigarettes. While there is still progress to be made, it is a positive trend in combatting smoking and vaping among teenagers.
