Youth vaping and using e-cigarettes is a public health concern.
After a year of decline, vaping prevalence among teens increased in 2017. The rise in youth Vape Wholesale and using e-cigarettes is a public health concern for several reasons.

The 2016 surgeon general's report on e-cigarette use among youth and young adults concluded that e-cigarettes have the potential to be addictive to some users, and that early nicotine addiction can harm brain development and alter nerve cell functioning. Other research shows that e-cigarette use increases the risk of ever using combustible tobacco cigarettes among youth and young adults, and that young adults who use e-cigarettes are more than four times as likely to begin smoking cigarettes within 18 months, compared with their peers who do not vape.

A recent report on the public health consequence of e-cigarettes suggests that, due to the variety of e-cigarette devices available, consumers can’t determine differences between products and their relative harms. That’s why Truth Initiative? is pushing the FDA to reconsider its decision to delay fully regulating e-cigarettes until 2022 and calling on the administration to fully regulate e-cigarettes soon. The sooner the FDA can review e-cigarettes, the sooner consumers can know which products are less harmful and best deliver nicotine.

In the meantime, the surgeon general recommends continued efforts to prevent and reduce e-cigarette use among youth and young adults, such as incorporating e-cigarettes into smoke-free indoor air policies, restricting access to e-cigarettes in retail environments and establishing specific package requirements like minimum pack sizes and health warnings.
