Teen smoking has hit an all-time low, but experts are divided on whether vaping is the reason. Smoking among high schoolers dropped to 5.8% this year, a 28% decrease from 2018 and a new low—but many aren’t celebrating. The focus instead is on the rise in vaping. Some researchers believe e-cigarettes have been a useful tool in steering teens away from smoking, but many say vaping is not responsible for the decline in teen cigarette use, and that it of course is its own danger.
