Youth Tobacco Use Drops During 2011-2017
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States, and nearly all tobacco use begins during youth and young adulthood. CDC and the Food and Drug Administration recently released a report that shows findings from the 2011-2017 National Youth Tobacco Surveys. In 2017, 3.6 million middle and high school students said they were current tobacco product users (used a tobacco product in the past 30 days), down from 4.5 million in 2011.
