Dramatic jump in teen e-cigarette and vaping use

[KMSP Fox 9, December 17, 2018] Twice as many high school students used nicotine-tinged electronic cigarettes this year compared with last year, an unprecedented jump in a large annual survey of teen smoking, drinking and drug use.

It was the largest single-year increase in the survey's 44-year history, far surpassing a mid-1970s surge in marijuana smoking. Allina Health lung physician, Dr. Andrew Stiehm, says most teens don't realize most e-cigarettes contain nicotine.
