Trends in Daily Nicotine Vaping and Unsuccessful Quit Attempts in Youths

Did nicotine vaping patterns of US youths change from 2020 to 2024?In this cross-sectional study of 115 191 youths in 8th to 12th grade, weighted prevalence of daily nicotine vaping rose from 15% in 2020 to 29% in 2024 among current vapers and unsuccessful quit attempts increased from 28% to 53% among daily vapers.The findings suggest that the US youth nicotine vaping population recently became increasingly represented by daily use and unsuccessful quit attempts, a trend of which clinicians and policy makers should be aware.
