Abstract
The rapid increase in adolescents’ use of electronic cigarettes (known as vaping) during the past decade has aroused public health concern,1 recently heightened by potential links between vaping and acute lung injury.2 Adolescents who vape use a device such as an e-cigarette to inhale a heated aerosol that typically contains nicotine. We assessed whether adolescents’ vaping of nicotine continued to increase from 2018 to 2019, after the previous year’s record increase, the largest for any substance tracked by Monitoring the Future over the past 44 years.1
