E-cigarettes: A health threat or cessation tool?
Denver – Among adults aged 18-24, about 40% smoke both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
Over 15% of adults have used electronic cigarettes at some time, and about 3% reported current use when they were surveyed in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When those numbers are broken down by age group, the youngest adults are the most likely e-cigarette users: 23.5% of those aged 18-24 years had ever vaped and 4.5% were currently vaping either every day or on some days, the CDC reported (MMWR. 2017;66[33]:892).
