Teen vaping in the U.S.

The e-cigarette market is booming. While electronic cigarettes, vape pens, and other ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) were originally regarded as smoking cessation aids, their role in society has changed dramatically. Doubts were cast about the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes in helping people quit smoking, and e-cigs were smoked more and more by teenagers. In the United States, teenagers from middle school to college are ENDS smokers, and the smoking frequency has grown rapidly in the past decade. This report uses the latest market and survey data to show how deeply e-cigarettes are entrenched in American youth culture. This includes market analyses with leading companies, as well as a discussion of the health effects of teen vaping.
