According to Coastalpoint on September 27, according to a national survey data in the first half of 2024, the proportion of students using vapes and vape devices in the United States has dropped by 25%. Today, about 6% of the 1.6 million school-age children surveyed are still using vapes. In recent years, information campaigns for teenagers funded by settlement funds from vape manufacturers have achieved certain results in preventing vape use. However, nicotine bags are becoming a new focus.
Jay Owens, principal of the Indian River School District, confirmed this trend. He believes that the school district has joined the lawsuit against the vape manufacturer Juul, which has helped local anti-smoking equipment and public publicity activities, greatly reducing the use of vapes. The school district now has vape detectors installed in schools.
“With the settlement of the Juul lawsuit, we have seen a significant drop in the use of vapes,” Owens said.
Pep Lewis, the district’s student services administrator, said the local anti-smoking trend has just begun, and although no significant decline has been seen at the beginning of this school year, related prevention efforts are still continuing.
It is reported that at the peak of 2019, more than 5 million middle school and high school students used vapes. The latest survey data released in the first half of 2024 shows that about 1.6 million students (about 6%) are still using vapes.
Although the proportion of vape use among American teenagers has dropped significantly, experts warn that any youth use of tobacco products is unsafe, and now the rise of nicotine bags has raised new concerns.
Nicotine bag sales have been rising since 2016. According to the latest survey data, nearly 500,000 middle school and high school students (about 1.8%) are using this product, a slight increase from last year. Although this rate is relatively low, experts say it is necessary to monitor and mitigate risks.
“Students who don’t vape often hide their behavior and devices from their parents,” said Vape-Free Delaware. “We designed new school messaging to get to parents quickly so they know what to do and where to go for help.”
The Vape-Free Delaware website provides educators with tips on discussing the dangers of vaping and has launched the “Know the Truth” national youth vaping prevention curriculum to help students learn the history of tobacco and nicotine, understand the risks and harms of vaping, build a framework for quitting, and focus on positive replacement behaviors and tobacco-free living.
