3.6 million students in the United States reported
using e-cigarettes in 2018. 11
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), youth who use e‐cigarettes are
approximately 4 times more likely to use conventional (combustible) cigarettes than a
non e‐cigarette user. 12
Inaccurate Knowledge of Products
Many young users are
unaware the products
they are using almost
always contain
nicotine. Over 60% of
teens incorrectly
reported
e‐cigarettes as being
comprised of mostly
lavoring. 12
Manufacturers don’t have
to report e‐cig ingredients,
so users don’t know what’s
actually in them.
