tobacco product use among High School Students youth risk behavior survey united states 2019
MMWR supplements, 2020Co-Authors: Melisa R Creamer, Andrea S Gentzke, Ahmed Jamal, Sherry Everett Jones, Brian A KingAbstract:Tobacco product use is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States. This report used data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey to assess the following among U.S. High School Students: ever use of cigarettes and electronic vapor products, current use (≥1 day during the 30 days before the survey) of tobacco products, frequent use (≥20 days during the 30 days before the survey) among current users of tobacco products, trends in use over time, and usual source of electronic vapor products among current electronic vapor product users. In 2019, a total of 50.1% of U.S. High School Students had ever used electronic vapor products, and 24.1% had ever tried cigarette smoking. Current electronic vapor product use was 32.7%, current cigarette smoking was 6.0%, current cigar smoking was 5.7%, and current smokeless tobacco use was 3.8%. Approximately 36.5% of Students were current users of any tobacco product, and 8.2% were current users of two or more tobacco products. Frequent use among users of individual products was 32.6% for electronic vapor products, 28.5% for smokeless tobacco, 22.2% for cigarettes, and 18.4% for cigars. Among current electronic vapor product users who were aged ≤17 years, the most commonly reported source was borrowing them from someone else (42.8%). Significant decreases occurred in current cigarette smoking (1991: 27.5%; 2019: 6.0%), cigar smoking (1997: 22.0%; 2019: 5.7%), and smokeless tobacco use (2017: 5.5%; 2019: 3.8%). However, significant increases occurred in current electronic vapor product use (2015: 24.1%; 2019: 32.7%) and any tobacco product use (2017: 19.5%; 2019: 36.5%). Although current cigarette smoking, cigar smoking, and smokeless tobacco use has decreased among High School Students, the increased prevalence of electronic vapor product use among youths is concerning. Continued surveillance for all tobacco product use is warranted for guiding and evaluating public health policy at the local, state, tribal, and national levels.

vital signs tobacco product use among middle and High School Students united states 2011 2018
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2019Co-Authors: Andrea S Gentzke, Ahmed Jamal, Karen A Cullen, Bridget K Ambrose, Melisa R Creamer, Gordon Willis, Brian A KingAbstract:INTRODUCTION Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States; nearly all tobacco product use begins during youth and young adulthood. METHODS CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Cancer Institute analyzed data from the 2011-2018 National Youth Tobacco Surveys to estimate tobacco product use among U.S. middle and High School Students. Prevalence estimates of current (past 30-day) use of seven tobacco products were assessed; differences over time were analyzed using multivariable regression (2011-2018) or t-test (2017-2018). RESULTS In 2018, current use of any tobacco product was reported by 27.1% of High School Students (4.04 million) and 7.2% of middle School Students (840,000); electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) were the most commonly used product among High School (20.8%; 3.05 million) and middle School (4.9%; 570,000) Students. Use of any tobacco product overall did not change significantly during 2011-2018 among either School level. During 2017-2018, current use of any tobacco product increased 38.3% (from 19.6% to 27.1%) among High School Students and 28.6% (from 5.6% to 7.2%) among middle School Students; e-cigarette use increased 77.8% (from 11.7% to 20.8%) among High School Students and 48.5% (from 3.3% to 4.9%) among middle School Students. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE A considerable increase in e-cigarette use among U.S. youths, coupled with no change in use of other tobacco products during 2017-2018, has erased recent progress in reducing overall tobacco product use among youths. The sustained implementation of comprehensive tobacco control strategies, in coordination with Food and Drug Administration regulation of tobacco products, can prevent and reduce the use of all forms of tobacco products among U.S. youths.

tobacco use among middle and High School Students united states 2011 2016
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2017Co-Authors: Ahmed Jamal, David M Homa, Andrea S Gentzke, Karen A Cullen, Benjamin J Apelberg, Brian A KingAbstract:Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States; nearly all tobacco use begins during youth and young adulthood (1,2). Among youths, use of tobacco products in any form is unsafe (1,3). CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analyzed data from the 2011-2016 National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS) to determine recent patterns of current (past 30-day) use of seven tobacco product types among U.S. middle (grades 6-8) and High (grades 9-12) School Students. In 2016, 20.2% of surveyed High School Students and 7.2% of middle School Students reported current tobacco product use. In 2016, among current tobacco product users, 47.2% of High School Students and 42.4% of middle School Students used ≥2 tobacco products, and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) were the most commonly used tobacco product among High (11.3%) and middle (4.3%) School Students. Current use of any tobacco product did not change significantly during 2011-2016 among High or middle School Students, although combustible tobacco product use declined. However, during 2015-2016, among High School Students, decreases were observed in current use of any tobacco product, any combustible product, ≥2 tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and hookahs. Among middle School Students, current use of e-cigarettes decreased. Comprehensive and sustained strategies can help prevent and reduce the use of all forms of tobacco products among U.S. youths (1-3).

tobacco use among middle and High School Students united states 2011 2015
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2016Co-Authors: Tushar Singh, Rene A Arrazola, Catherine G Corey, Corinne G Husten, Linda J Neff, David M Homa, Brian A KingAbstract:Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States; if current smoking rates continue, 5.6 million Americans aged <18 years who are alive today are projected to die prematurely from smoking-related disease. Tobacco use and addiction mostly begin during youth and young adulthood. CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analyzed data from the 2011-2015 National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS) to determine the prevalence and trends of current (past 30-day) use of seven tobacco product types (cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, electronic cigarettes [e-cigarettes], hookahs [water pipes used to smoke tobacco], pipe tobacco, and bidis [small imported cigarettes wrapped in a tendu leaf]) among U.S. middle (grades 6-8) and High (grades 9-12) School Students. In 2015, e-cigarettes were the most commonly used tobacco product among middle (5.3%) and High (16.0%) School Students. During 2011-2015, significant increases in current use of e-cigarettes and hookahs occurred among middle and High School Students, whereas current use of conventional tobacco products, such as cigarettes and cigars decreased, resulting in no change in overall tobacco product use. During 2014-2015, current use of e-cigarettes increased among middle School Students, whereas current use of hookahs decreased among High School Students; in contrast, no change was observed in use of hookahs among middle School Students, use of e-cigarettes among High School Students, or use of cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco, or bidis among middle and High School Students. In 2015, an estimated 4.7 million middle and High School Students were current tobacco product users, and, therefore, continue to be exposed to harmful tobacco product constituents, including nicotine. Nicotine exposure during adolescence, a critical period for brain development, can cause addiction, might harm brain development, and could lead to sustained tobacco product use among youths. Comprehensive and sustained strategies are warranted to prevent and reduce the use of all tobacco products among U.S. youths.

vital signs exposure to electronic cigarette advertising among middle School and High School Students united states 2014
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2016Co-Authors: Tushar Singh, Kristy L Marynak, Rene A Arrazola, Brian A KingAbstract:Introduction Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has increased considerably among U.S. youths since 2011. Tobacco use among youths in any form, including e-cigarettes, is unsafe. Tobacco product advertising can persuade youths to start using tobacco. CDC analyzed data from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey to estimate the prevalence of e-cigarette advertisement exposure among U.S. middle School and High School Students. Methods The 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey, a School-based survey of middle School and High School Students in grades 6-12, included 22,007 participants. Exposure to e-cigarette advertisements (categorized as "sometimes," "most of the time," or "always") was assessed for four sources: retail stores, Internet, TV and movies, and newspapers and magazines. Weighted exposure estimates were assessed overall and by School type, sex, race/ethnicity, and grade. Results In 2014, 68.9% of middle and High School Students (18.3 million) were exposed to e-cigarette advertisements from at least one source. Among middle School Students, exposure was Highest for retail stores (52.8%), followed by Internet (35.8%), TV and movies (34.1%), and newspapers and magazines (25.0%). Among High School Students, exposure was Highest for retail stores (56.3%), followed by Internet (42.9%), TV and movies (38.4%), and newspapers and magazines (34.6%). Among middle School Students, 23.4% reported exposure to e-cigarette advertising from one source, 17.4% from two sources, 13.7% from three sources, and 11.9% from four sources. Among High School Students, 21.1% reported exposure to e-cigarette advertising from one source, 17.0% from two sources, 14.5% from three sources, and 18.2% from four sources. Conclusions and implications for public health practice Approximately seven in 10 U.S. middle and High School Students were exposed to e-cigarette advertisements in 2014. Exposure to e-cigarette advertisements might contribute to increased use of e-cigarettes among youths. Multiple approaches are warranted to reduce youth e-cigarette use and exposure to e-cigarette advertisements, including efforts to reduce youth access to settings where tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, are sold, and regulation of youth-oriented e-cigarette marketing.

water pipe tobacco smoking among middle and High School Students in arizona
Pediatrics, 2009Co-Authors: Brian A. Primack, Michele E Walsh, Cindy L Bryce, Thomas EissenbergAbstract:A water pipe, also known as a hookah, narghile, or shisha-pipe, consists of a head into which tobacco is placed, a body that is half-filled with water, and a hose through which the user inhales. The tobacco, which is generally moist, flavored, and sweetened, is heated by using a piece of charcoal. Smoke inhalation can be substantial: a single water-pipe use episode can last 30 to 60 minutes and can involve more than 100 inhalations, each ~500 mL in volume.1,2 Thus, whereas smoking a single cigarette might produce a total of ~500 to 600 mL of smoke,3 a single water-pipe use episode might produce ~50 000 mL of smoke. Water-pipe smoke contains many of the same toxicants as cigarette smoke.1,4 Not surprisingly, carbon monoxide is found in water-pipe users’ breath5–7 and nicotine is found in their blood,8 to the extent that blood nicotine of a daily water-pipe user is similar to that of an individual who smokes 10 cigarettes per day.9 Although more epidemiologic research is needed, water-pipe tobacco smoking has been associated with substantial harm, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, decreased pulmonary function, and nicotine dependence.7,10–12 In the United States, the prevalence of this behavior seems to be growing, especially among college Students. Nearly 300 new water-pipe cafes opened in the United States between 1999 and 2004, mostly in college towns.13–15 Convenience sample surveys have suggested 30-day college water-pipe tobacco smoking rates as High as 15% to 20%,16,17 and a college-based random sample survey found a 30-day use rate of 9.5%, a 1-year use rate of 30.6%, and an ever use rate of 40.5%.18 Although we are learning more about water-pipe tobacco smoking among college Students, there is little information concerning how common this form of tobacco use is among US High School Students. The behavior clearly can appeal to this age group; surveys indicate previous 30-day water-pipe tobacco smoking rates as High as 25% among Israeli and Lebanese High School Students,19,20 and 22% among a sample of Arab American High School Students in the US Midwest.21 However, we are aware of no published studies reporting state- or national-level water-pipe tobacco smoking prevalence among US High School Students. Identifying demographic characteristics associated with water-pipe tobacco smoking in the United States may help focus prevention efforts. Among college Students, water-pipe tobacco smoking is associated with white race, younger age, and membership in a fraternity or sorority.16–18 Unfortunately, no such information is available for representative samples of High School Students. Thus, in 2005, the state of Arizona included water- pipe tobacco smoking items in its Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS). To our knowledge, the 2005 Arizona YTS represents the first statewide standardized assessment of this behavior among US High School Students. The purpose of this study was to examine the 30-day and lifetime prevalence of water-pipe tobacco smoking in a statewide sample of High School Students in Arizona. In addition, we aimed to compare the prevalence of water-pipe tobacco smoking with that of other forms of tobacco use and to determine associations between sociodemographic variables and water-pipe tobacco use in this population. We hypothesized that water-pipe tobacco smoking would be present, but that it would be less common in High School than is cigarette smoking. Based on previous information from other age groups, we also hypothesized that it would be associated with male gender and white race. Finally, consistent with uptake patterns of other substance use during High School, we expected that use would be associated with increased age.
