Hidden in Plain Sight

Great news from the CDC! The 2024 National Youth Tobacco Survey Report shows a decrease in tobacco and vaping among middle and high school students. This progress highlights the power of prevention and education awareness efforts!
The data: During 2023–2024, among all students, the estimated number who reported current use of any tobacco product decreased from 2.80 to 2.25 million students; e-cigarette use decreased (from 2.13 to 1.63 million students); and hookah use decreased (from 290,000 to 190,000 students). Among high school students, current use of any tobacco product decreased from 12.6% to 10.1% of students, and e-cigarette use decreased from 10.0% to 7.8%.
Thank you to all the educators, parents, and community leaders working hard to protect our youth. Together, we’re helping more young people make healthier choices every day.
But our work isn’t over. Parents, guardians, and caregivers are invited to attend our upcoming Hidden In Plain Sight presentation to learn how to recognize signs of risky behaviors and help protect youth:
