"Despite the increases in vaping among teens in recent years, adolescent cigarette smoking — the most harmful form of tobacco consumption — continues to decline and has reached historically low levels. This is also the case for other forms of tobacco use, such as smokeless tobacco and little cigar use,” Rafael Meza, PhD, associate professor and associate chair of the department of epidemiology and associate professor of global public health at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, told Healio. "This is great news and shows that education campaigns and tobacco control interventions are working to reduce youth and overall smoking. However, the increase in teen vaping is concerning and we should remain vigilant and continue efforts to prevent regular use of nicotine and tobacco products among youth.”
Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate trends in adolescent tobacco product use. The study included 487,335 students in eighth grade, 447,310 in 10th grade and 424,236 in 12th grade. All completed the nationally representative Monitoring the Future survey from 1991 to June 2019.

Among 12th-grade males, daily smoking increased at an annual percentage change of 4.9% from 1991 to 1998, followed by decreases of –8% from 1998 to 2006, –1.6% from 2006 to 2012 and –17.4% from 2012 to 2019. Among 12th-grade females, daily smoking increased by 6.5% from 1991 to 1997, followed by decreases of –7.2% from 1997 to 2012 and –17.5% from 2012 to 2019.

Researchers observed similar results among younger adolescents. Daily smoking among eighth-grade males increased by 5% from 1991 to 1996, followed by decreases of –8.8% and –17.3% from 1996 to 2011 and 2011 to 2019. Among 10th-grade males, daily smoking increased by 7.1% from 1991 to 1997, followed by decreases of –11.1%, –0.7% and –17.9% from 1997 to 2005, 2006 to 2011 and 2011 to 2019, respectively. Among eighth grade females, daily smoking increased 10.9% from 1991 to 1996, followed by a decrease of –10.8% from 1996 to 2019 and among 10th grade females, daily smoking increased 7.2% from 1991 to 1997, followed by decreases of –9.5% and –16.3% from 2012 to 2019 and 1997 to 2012.
