Youth vaping declines in 2024, a public-health victory STAT

Youth vaping declines in 2024, a public-health victory STAT
SHARE

The fight against youth tobacco use in the United States has seen a significant victory, as new federal data reveals a continued decline in the number of kids using e-cigarettes. According to a recent survey conducted by the FDA and the CDC, only 6% of middle and high school students reported using vapes in 2024, down from 8% the previous year and a high of 20% in 2019. This decrease is attributed to the fading popularity of vape brand Juul, which had previously fueled the surge in youth e-cigarette use but has since faced regulatory actions and legal challenges.

The FDA and CDC have struggled to track the decline in youth vaping due to disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this year’s data collection has allowed them to celebrate the progress made in curbing youth e-cigarette use. Brian King, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, hailed the decrease as a “monumental public health win.”

The National Youth Tobacco Survey has been instrumental in collecting data on e-cigarette use among students since 2011. Anti-smoking educational campaigns led by the FDA and CDC have played a crucial role in driving down youth vaping rates. The FDA’s crackdown on illegal vape sales, including warning letters sent to retailers selling Elf Bars and Esco Bars, has also contributed to the decline.

Despite the positive trend, around 1.6 million kids are still vaping, highlighting the ongoing challenges in regulating the e-cigarette market. Yolonda Richardson, CEO of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, emphasized the need for increased enforcement efforts to eliminate illegal e-cigarettes from the market.

The survey also looked into the use of nicotine pouches like Zyn among youth. While the products have gained popularity, with Philip Morris International projecting the sale of 580 million cans this year, the survey indicates a modest increase in pouch use among kids. Experts remain vigilant about the potential growth of nicotine pouch consumption among youth due to their appealing flavors and discreet nature.

Concerns have also been raised about the influence of social media influencers in promoting nicotine pouches to a younger audience. Sen. Chuck Schumer has called for investigations into companies like Philip Morris International to prevent them from targeting young consumers.

The FDA and CDC will continue to monitor the use of nicotine pouches among youth and address any emerging trends. While the initial survey results do not include data on traditional cigarette use, previous years have shown a low prevalence of smoking among middle and high school students. As efforts to combat youth tobacco use persist, ongoing vigilance and enforcement are crucial in safeguarding the health of the younger generation.
