Continuing the Message: Youth Use of Any Tobacco Product is Unsafe

 


Youth use of tobacco products in any form is unsafe. Preventing tobacco product use among youth is critical to reducing tobacco use among the nation's youth.

*Tobacco product use is started and established primarily during adolescence

*Nearly 9-out-of 10 adults who smoke cigarettes daily first tried smoking by age 18

*In 2024, approx. 2-in-5 students who had ever used a tobacco product currently used them

*Flavorings in tobacco products can make them more appealing to youth

*88.2% of high school students and 85.7% of middle school students who used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days reported using a flavored e-cig during that time

*86.1% of high school students and 85.4% of middle school students who used nicotine pouches in the past 30 days reported using flavored pouches during that time
