Ever wonder how many teens use e-cigarettes? Or whether smoking e-cigs means you're more likely to start using tobacco products like cigarettes, cigars, or hookahs? Check out the infographics below for the answers, plus more facts on teens and e-cigs.
Teens are more likely to use e-cigarettes than cigarettes

Teens' use of cigarettes in the past month:

3.6 percent among 8th graders

6.3 percent among 10th graders

11.4 percent among 12th graders

Use of e-cigarettes in the past month:

9.5 percent among 8th graders

14.0 percent among 10th graders

16.2 percent among 12 graders

Twice as many boys use e-cigs as girls

Teen e-cig users are more likely to start smoking than non-users

Smoking includes combustible tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, and hookahs)

30.7 percent of e-cig users started smoking within 6 months; 8.1 percent of non-users started smoking within that time

What do teens say is in their e-cig?

66.0 percent say just flavoring

13.7 percent say they don't know

13.2 percent say nicotine

5.8 percent say marijuana

1.3 percent say it's something else (other)

Okay, so what's really in an e-cig? Manufacturers don't have to report e-cig ingredients, so users often don't know what's in them. Not cool, right? (Note: The government might soon start requiring labels with ingredients.)
Teen exposure to e-cig advertising

7 in 10 teens are exposed to e-cig ads

Among middle school students:

52.8 percent are exposed to retail ads about e-cigs (a retail ad promotes products or services available from a local company or store)

35.8 percent are exposed to internet ads

34.1 percent to TV/movie ads

25 percent to newspaper and magazine ads

Among high school students:

56.3 percent are exposed to retail ads

42.9 percent to internet ads

38.4 percent to TV/movie ads

34.6 percent to newspaper and magazine ads

E-cigarettes can be addictive. Plus, smoking e-cigs is linked with an increased chance you'll start smoking cigarettes, cigars, and/or hookahs.

So think carefully about what you might be getting into-especially if it's just because the e-cig flavoring tastes good. You might be inhaling more than you bargained for.

A recent national survey found that many Americans-both teens and adults-don't know what makes cigarette smoking so dangerous to a person's health. To learn some of the reasons, take the quiz below. Answers are listed after the questions.
Questions:
1. Cigarette smoke contains:
A. Ammonia (used in many household cleaning products)
B. Arsenic (used in rat poison)
C. Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
D. All of the above
E. None of the above
2. True or false: In filtered cigarettes, the filters keep almost all harmful chemicals out of the smoke. 3. True or false: The most hazardous chemicals in cigarette smoke are produced by additives that tobacco companies put into cigarettes.
4. How many chemicals in cigarette smoke are known to cause cancer?
A. No more than 12
B. 38
C. Approximately 50
D. At least 70
5. True or false: Smokers today have a higher chance of developing lung cancer than smokers over 50 years ago. 6. _________ is the ingredient that makes it possible to get addicted to using tobacco.
7. Smoking causes more deaths every year than:
A. Alcohol use
B. Illegal drug use
C. Car accidents
D. Guns

1. D. Cigarette smoke contains all these harmful things, and many others.
(Source:American Lung Association)

2. False. In fact, evidence suggests that ventilated filters may also have contributed to higher risks of lung cancer. They allow the cancer-causing chemicals in smoke to be inhaled more deeply; this draws the them deeper into a person's lung tissue.
(U.S. Surgeon General)

3. False. Additives don't appear to be the main source of harm from smoking. The most dangerous chemicals in tobacco are the ones burned when a cigarette is lit, like carbon monoxide. (Study, "Public understanding of cigarette smoke constituents: three US surveys"; NIDA)

4. D. At least 70 chemicals in cigarette smoke are known carcinogens.
(U.S. Surgeon General)

5. True. Changes in the design and composition of cigarettes since the 1950s have increased the risk of the most common type of lung cancer. (U.S. Surgeon General)

6. Nicotine makes tobacco addictive. You can develop an addiction not only by smoking tobacco, but also by inhaling it from a hookah, and chewing or dipping it. (NIDA)

7. Trick question! Smoking causes more deaths every year than all of these other causes combined. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
