Tobacco Product Use Among Middle and High School Students — National Youth Tobacco Survey, United States, 2024
CDC and the Food and Drug Administration analyzed data from the 2024 National Youth Tobacco Survey to assess tobacco product use patterns among U.S. middle school (grades 6–8) and high school (grades 9–12) students.
From 2023 to 2024, current (previous 30-day) use of any tobacco product declined among high school students from 12.6% to 10.1%, largely driven by the decline in high school e-cigarette use (from 10.0% to 7.8%). During 2024, e-cigarettes remained the most commonly used tobacco product among U.S. youths; nicotine pouches were the second most commonly used tobacco product.
