Note, too, that the rate of youth smoking (defined by the CDC as “ever tried” within the past month) continues to decline. In 2011, the last year for which there were data, 18.1% had tried a cigarette within the last month. Combined with trends in e-cigarette experimentation/use, these data suggest that electronic cigarettes may even be aiding teens in reducing smoking. At the very least, it shows no correlation between increased exposure to vaping and increased rates of smoking – which is the pattern you’d expect if electronic cigarettes were serving a gateway function.
