A. Gardner asked the FDA when it’s going to announce the US ‘teen nicotine vaping epidemic’ is over in a recent Twitter post.

He highlighted that current use has ‘dropped by 50 percent’ since 2019 and that daily use was now at less than three percent overall.

In fact, with the help of data from the CDC and the FDA, Gardner showed that US teen vaping is at lower levels NOW than in 2015…a time when it wasn’t referred to as an ‘epidemic’.

Interestingly, the infographic also shows that teen cigarette use has plummeted from 1.5 million to 0.3 million over the past eight years.
