Reported byGoodGoodGood ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The FDA's 2025 National Youth Tobacco Survey found smoking among U.S. youth ages 11–18 fell to 1.4%, down from 36% in 1997, while e-cigarette use dropped to 5.2%, the lowest since 2019.
Nicotine pouches, a newer product, have risen to 1.7% use; e-cigarettes remain widely sold as unauthorized products whose contents and risks vary.
