It sounds like the decline started before well before vaping really took off, but it would be cool to have the year-by-year data.The federal government’s 2016 National Youth Tobacco survey determined that just 8 percent of ninth through 12th-graders smoked at least once over a 30-day period.
That’s down from 15.8 percent in 2011 and 9.3 percent in 2015. The rate was 28.5 percent when the survey debuted in 1999.
That's a big drop! Sounds like vaping isn't "cool" anymore?E-cig and vaporizer usage fell from a high of 16 percent in 2015 to 11.3 percent for 2016. That represented a reversal of a five-year trend of increased youth e-cig use.
