๐Ÿšจ New Youth Vaping Report Out โ€” This Hits Different

Just saw this report :eyes: โ€” the landscape of vaping, youth use, and how products are moving in the U.S. is wild right now.

Hereโ€™s the tea :hot_beverage::

:fire: Flavor vapes still dominate โ€“ Nearly all teens (13โ€“17 yrs old) who vape are using flavored products โ€” not boring tobacco tastes. That means fruity / dessert / candy vibes are still pulling people in hard.
:firecracker: Disposable devices are everywhere โ€” The vast majority of vaping products on the market are one-time use, cheap, and packed with nicotine.
:chart_increasing: Nicotine bags are growing FAST โ€” Their sales nearly tripled, and usage among high schoolers is trending upward.
:chart_decreasing: Overall youth vaping is lower than the 2019 peak โ€” but usage is still super concerning, especially with high-nicotine products and new delivery formats.
:warning: Many products are still unauthorized/illegal โ€” That means a huge chunk of whatโ€™s out there hasnโ€™t actually been approved, yet itโ€™s circulating everywhere.

:speech_balloon: So hereโ€™s the question for this community:
With flavors and nicotine products evolving faster than regulations can keep up โ€”
:right_arrow: Is the industry doing enough to self-police?
:right_arrow: Are kids really safer than they were a few years ago?
:right_arrow: Or are we just shifting where the real risks lie?

Drop your thoughts. :brain::backhand_index_pointing_down:
