The numbers are increasing, but the use of tobacco among teenagers is decreasing. According to government data released last week, an estimated 3.08 million American middle and high school students reported using tobacco products in the last 30 days of 2022. This number is lower than the 4.47 million reported in 2020 and the 6.2 million reported in 2019.
According to a new study published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), electronic cigarettes have remained the most commonly used tobacco product among adolescents for the ninth consecutive year.
A survey has found that cigars are the second most popular choice, with 500,000 people reporting their use, following closely behind 440,000 smokers.
According to a report from Reuters, nearly 31% of surveyed students have reported using multiple products, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have deemed "particularly concerning" due to its association with adolescent nicotine dependence and long-term use.
Over the past two decades, the smoking rate among American teenagers has steadily declined. However, due to changes in data collection methods related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC warns against comparing the results to previous years.
According to a nationwide annual survey conducted from January to May of this year, the study revealed that nearly 11.3% of students had used tobacco products within the past 30 days.
