Lead Story: Daily E-cigarette Use and the Surge in JUUL Sales: 2017–2019 🔓
From: Pediatrics
This study identified how the 2017 rapid surge in sales of JUUL e-cigarettes affected usage among US youth and young adults. For 5 age groups, it compared 2-year incidence of first tobacco use and of new-onset daily tobacco use by product, and report levels of dependence. Sociodemographic variables and rates of experimentation with any tobacco product were similar between cohorts. About 600 000 Americans aged <21 years used JUUL products daily in 2019, a rate 2.5 times those aged 25 to 34 years. The surge in US JUUL sales was associated with a sharp rise in daily e-cigarette vaping and daily tobacco use among US youth, not young adults.
