Teen vaping rates reach a record low: a win for public health.

Fewer teenagers are vaping now compared to the past ten years. A new report shows that teenage vaping has decreased to under 6% this year. In 2019, a lot of high school students used e-cigarettes, but now less than half are vaping compared to then.

This decrease in vaping among high school students is good news according to health officials. However, middle school students haven’t changed their vaping habits and are vaping at a rate of 3.5%.

Another product, nicotine pouches, is becoming more popular among adults but not so much with teens. These pouches come in flavors like mint and are used by placing them alongside the gums.

The government checks on vaping and other tobacco use through a survey it gives to thousands of students. This helps them see how many kids are using these products.

The big decrease in vaping is because of new rules that don't allow young people to buy these products and strict actions against companies selling these products illegally. The FDA is also trying to stop certain e-cigarettes from being sold in the U.S. without following the rules.
