"Vaping is a pressing public health issue. While adult smoking rates continue
to fall, vaping rates are rising. Some 7% of adults now vape daily, up nearly
three-fold since 2019. Most alarmingly, the rate of current vape use – on a
daily, weekly or monthly basis – among 18-to-24-year-olds has climbed from 5%
in 2019 to 21% in 2023.
Nicotine, especially in high doses, is known to be harmful to brain
development. Vaping products also contain more than 200 chemicals, some of them
known carcinogens.
While the research on long-term health harms of non-therapeutic vaping is still
emerging, there is an urgent need for governments to act in the interests of
public health."
