US CDC: E-Cigarette Sales in the Country Rose 50% Over Two Years

Sales of e-cigarettes in the United States increased by 50% from 2020 to 2022.

[Two Supremacies Express] According to foreign media reports, the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that e-cigarette sales rose by 50% between 2020 and 2022. Experts believe one of the main reasons for this growth is the availability of flavored products targeted at minors.

A government survey estimates that 2.5 million young people use e-cigarettes, and an increasing number of e-cigarette products contain nicotine. Public health leaders believe this could be extremely harmful to the growth and development of young people.

Liz Pray of the National Association of School Nurses said, “The chemicals in these e-cigarettes are having negative effects on brain development and lung health. In fact, we may still not fully understand their potential long-term impact.”

School nurses recommend that parents talk with their children about the dangers of e-cigarettes, while advocates are calling for broader bans on the sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products.
