Teen tobacco use in the U.S. has reached its lowest level in 25 years, with a significant decline attributed primarily to reduced e-cigarette usage, according to a new CDC survey. The number of middle and high school students using any tobacco product fell from 2.8 million in 2023 to 2.25 million in 2024, marking a 20% decrease. E-cigarette use among teens dropped to 5.9%, while cigarette smoking is at a record low of just 1.4%. Despite these positive trends, CDC officials emphasize that over 2 million youths still use tobacco, indicating that efforts must continue. Public health measures, including price increases and age restrictions, are credited with contributing to this decline. However, disparities in usage persist among different demographic groups, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
