Description:Since the first Surgeon General’s report on smoking and health was released in 1964, cigarette smoking among U.S. adults declined from nearly 43% to a low of nearly 14% in 2018, the most recent year for which data about adult use are available.
Some people who smoke have turned to e-cigarettes for help quitting smoking, raising questions about the benefits and risks of using these products.
E-cigarettes entered the U.S. market around 2007 and were used by nearly 4% of adults by 2014. However, current use of e-cigarettes among U.S. adults has declined in recent years. In 2018, 3.2% of U.S. adults were current e-cigarette users. About half of adults who use e-cigarettes also smoke regular cigarettes, a behavior known as “dual use.”
