US EditionThe Concentration of Nicotine in E-cigarettes Continues to Soar, Putting Young People at Higher Risk of Addiction
- A study released on May 5, 2025, reports that the total nicotine content in e-cigarettes sold across the U.S. Has risen dramatically—by nearly 250% since 2020—with the largest growth seen in disposable vaping products.
- This increase stems mainly from disposable e-cigarettes growing larger, cheaper, and containing far more nicotine than cartridge-based devices.
- By mid-2024, disposable e-cigarettes delivered over 23 times more nicotine than before and represented 74% of the total nicotine sold; many of these devices contain nicotine amounts comparable to what is found in an entire carton of traditional cigarettes.
- Health experts Fatma Romeh M. Ali and Megan Diaz emphasize measuring nicotine in milligrams as critical, noting these products pose greater addiction risks, especially for youth who favor flavored disposables.
- The results highlight pressing issues regarding the ease with which young people can obtain low-cost, high-strength nicotine products, underscoring the need for enhanced public health regulations to curb these trends.
