Fewer middle and high school students are using tobacco this year than last year. That’s according to a newly released government health study, which found those decreases are driven by fewer younger people using e-cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. The study found nearly one in four high school students, or 3.65 million of them, were current tobacco users in 2020. For the seventh consecutive year, researchers found that e-cigarettes were the most commonly used tobacco product among both middle and high school students. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said while the decreased use of tobacco is a win, there are still nearly 4.6 million young people using tobacco products.
