Teen E-Cigarette Use Has Increased 10-Fold

E-cigarette use among teenagers in the United States has drastically increased, according to a report.

The new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that use of conventional cigarettes has decreased, but the use of e-cigarettes among middle and high school students made a huge jump in just four years between 2011 and 2015. While regular cigarette use dropped during that time from 15.3% to 9.3% of students, use of e-cigarettes climbed from 1.5% to 16%.
