‌FDA Reports Historic Decline in Youth E-Cigarette Use

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a significant public health achievement in January 2025, revealing that current e-cigarette use among U.S. middle and high school students has declined by nearly 70% over the past five years. This contributed to the lowest recorded youth tobacco use rates in a quarter century, with only 5.9% of students reporting e-cigarette use in 2024. The FDA attributed this success to sustained regulatory enforcement and public awareness campaigns targeting youth access and flavored products.
