vaping's impact on the nation
Vaping is impacting the nation’s youth at alarming rates. According to the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey, 19.6% of high school students and 4.7% of middle school students reported using e-cigarettes. If smoking continues at current rates, 5.6 million—or 1 out of every 13—of today’s children will ultimately die prematurely from a smoking-related illness (CDC 1). Schools are at the center of this public health crisis. E-cigarettes contain nicotine that is derived from tobacco, is highly addictive and has harmful effects on the adolescent brain (USDHSS, 2020a, 2020b).
To assist school administrators and parents in addressing this issue, NASN has assembled this resource of FAQs, which includes information to support school administrators and parents in tackling the topic of vaping head on. |

Where can I find evidence-based data on e-cigarette and vaping effects?
Tips for Success: Searching for Evidence-Based Resources
When searching for evidence-based references, do a targeted search based on key words (e.g., vape, vaping, electronic cigarettes, youth, school-age students, etc.). This will help you identify various resources and research available on this specific topic. Start with broad search terms, and then narrow your search with additional terms as needed.
Make sure the evidence is current (typically no older than 5-7 years, unless from seminal work). Stay up to date! Resources on e-cigarettes are constantly evolving.
Here are some excellent sources to start with:
Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products
The FDA and its grantees, as well as federal stakeholders have published several studies providing e-cigarette prevalence data, along with the latest research on the health effects of using e-cigarettes and the influence of flavors, packaging and promotion on youth initiation.
