Electronic cigarette use among young, middle-aged, and older adults in the United States in 2017 and 2018
JAMA Internal Medicine Feb 11, 2020
Bao W, et al. - Researchers updated data on adult e-cigarette use to include 2018 and reviewed the changes between 2017 and 2018. Millions of Americans are using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). E-cigarettes may allow some individuals to quit smoking, but they may help others to start smoking, including susceptible populations, such as young people. Current use of e-cigarettes among US adults declined from 2014 to 2017 (weighted prevalence: 2014, 3.7%; 2015, 3.5%; 2016, 3.2%; 2017, 2.8%), Notwithstanding an increase in the number of individuals trying e-cigarettes. Recently, among US middle school and high school students, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a startling rise in e-cigarette use between 2017 and 2018, reversing the previously observed decline since 2015. This may be at least somewhat attributable to the current popularity of pod-based e-cigarettes, such as the Juul brand.
