Adolescents who Use Electronic Vaping: Lifetime

County: Alachua

Measurement Period: 2022

This indicator shows the percentage students age 11-17 who have ever used an electronic vapor product.

Why is this important?

Health behavior patterns formed in adolescence play a crucial role in health throughout life. Those who begin tobacco use young are more likely to have a long-term addiction to nicotine than people who begin tobacco use later in life, putting them at greater risk for smoking-related illness and death. Electronic vaping is also known as using electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. Tobacco use begins and is established primarily during adolescence; preventing adolescent tobacco use is critical to ending the tobacco epidemic in the United States.
