Survey finds rising tobacco and e-cigarette use among U.S. high school students

A survey report looked at trends in tobacco product use among high school students in the United States. The survey did not report how many students were involved or the specific years studied. It found that the use of electronic vapor products (like e-cigarettes) and the use of any tobacco products have been increasing among this group. The report did not provide specific numbers on how much use increased or how many students were involved. No safety concerns or adverse events from product use were reported in this survey data. It is important to be careful with these findings because this was an observational survey. Surveys can show patterns, but they cannot prove that one thing causes another. For example, this survey cannot explain why use is increasing. Readers should understand that this report highlights a concerning trend that needs more research. It does not provide final answers about how common this is or what is driving the change.
