Survey finds over 2.5 million high school students vaped in the last month
(KYMA, KECY) - A new survey found more than two-point-five million high school students used tobacco products in the past 30 days, the fast majority being e-cigarettes.
That's about one in eight high school students.
The 2021 National Youth Tobacco survey also found one in 25 middle schoolers said they used tobacco in the same timeframe.
The numbers appear to continue a decline from 2019 to 2020, especially when it comes to vaping.
But, the authors caution against comparing 2021 to previous years because the data was collected differently during the pandemic to include students learning remotely.
