While considerable progress has been made in reducing cigarette smoking among our nation’s youth, the tobacco product landscape continues to evolve. It includes a variety of tobacco products, including smokeless and electronic products such as e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes entered the U.S. marketplace around 2007, and since 2014, they have been the most used tobacco product among youth. E-cigarette use among middle and high school students remains unacceptably high and sets youth up for lifelong nicotine addiction and the effects of toxin exposure.
