CT Prevalence and Trends
"ENDS and e-cigarettes are an emerging problem nationally and in Connecticut, as rates continue to rise at a steady pace. According to Connecticut’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (CT BRFSS), the prevalence of adults ever using e-cigarettes has increased each year since 2012. The 2020 CT BRFSS results showed that 20.9% of adults in Connecticut reported having tried e-cigarettes in their lifetime."
"ENDS use is of particular concern among youth, who report significantly higher use rates than adults. Nationally, the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) results showed 50.1% of high school students reported ever using an electronic vapor product, and 32.7% reported use in the past 30 days."
