Teen Vaping Rates Increases Along with Unsuccessful Attempts to Quit

Daily vaping rose sharply, with researchers reporting Nov. 3 in JAMA Network Open that it nearly doubled among U.S. middle and high school e-cigarette users based on more than 115,000 responses.
Because newer generations of vape devices deliver higher nicotine concentrations, the nicotine industry’s changing product sizes mean youth may not realize their nicotine intake, Dr. Abbey Masonbrink said.
Despite fewer teen vapers reporting 30-day vaping, rural areas saw daily vaping rise from 16% to nearly 42%, and the share of daily vapers increased from 15% to nearly 29%.
Daily vapers face rising quit failure, with attempts up from 28% to 53%, and Masonbrink said `The rise in daily vaping and growing number of youth trying to quit implies that these youth are experiencing a severe level of nicotine addiction`.
By 2024, the profile of regular vapers showed more female teen vapers, Black teen vapers, and rural teen vapers, reflecting changes in who vapes regularly and the National Institute on Drug Abuse provides more addiction context.
