Use of e-cigarettes among US adults DROPPED in 2020

Daily Mail  

Use of e-cigarette devices dropped during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study finds. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, found that usage of the devices dropped seven percent overall from 2018 to 2020 - including a 17 percent drop among people 18 to 20 in particular. Devices like JUULs have largely been blamed for recent upticks in teen tobacco usage due to their fruity flavors and an easy way to carry and use them without detection Nearly one-in-five, or 19 percent, of people in the age group reported to the study that they had used an e-cigarette in the past year in 2018. This includes 13% of high schoolers and 4% of middle schoolers Disposable e-cigarettes and refillable cartridges account for over 80% of teen tobacco product usage in America In the study, around 2.06 million high schoolers - 13 percent of the study population - and four percent of middle schoolers - 470,000 participants - reported 'current' tobacco use. Students were also asked if they had ever used tobacco products in their life, with 34 percent of high schoolers and 11 percent of middle schoolers reporting at least one use.
