Moreover, all 50 states have legislation prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to underage persons. Furthermore, many states, such as Connecticut, have implemented excise taxes on all e-cigarettes.

Overview

In the United States, youth use e-cigarettes, or vapes, more than any other tobacco product.

No tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are safe, especially for children, teens, and young adults.

Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. Nicotine can harm the parts of an adolescent's brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control.

E-cigarette marketing, the availability of flavored products, social influences, and the effects of nicotine can influence youth to start or continue vaping.

Most middle and high school students who vape want to quit.

Many people have an important role in protecting youth from vaping including parents and caregivers, educators and school administrators, health care providers, and community partners.

States and local communities can implement evidence-based policies, programs, and services to reduce youth vaping.
