FDA cracks down on teenage vaping

Previous data from the CDC showed that teenage vaping substantially increased from 2013 to 2014, peaked in 2015, and had decreased in 2016 and 2017. The CDC estimated that 1,730,000 high school students and 390,000 middle school students used electronic cigarettes in 2017. The FDA will soon release data showing a significant increase during 2018. This increase is the source of FDA concern about vaping. Vaping is big business with about $10 billion in annual sales. Juul is the market leader with about 72% of market share. Juuling has become a verb with users of electronic cigarettes.
