Tobacco Use

E-Cigarettes Use

Over the past two decades, the rapidly evolving tobacco marketplace has brought with it new public health challenges, including rapid uptake of emerging tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes. E-cigarette use prevalence among US adults in 2022 varied by state, but generally was highest in states that also had high cigarette smoking prevalence (Map 1.3.1). Nearly 33% of adults who currently use tobacco products reported concurrent use of combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes.1 Although dual use of e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes may represent a transition from combustible cigarette smoking, for most people concurrent use of these products is a persistent behavior.2,3
