"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)...
The prevalence of current smoking was 13.6%, which was not a significant change from 2018 (13.7%); that’s 34.1 million. Twenty-two percent of Americans were former smokers, the same as the year before.
Prevalence of current vaping increased from 3.2% in 2018, to 4.3% in 2019. That translates to about 10.82 million American adult vapers in 2019, up from 8.07 million the year before. That is the second annual increase and it represents the largest number of vapers since the CDC started tracking e-cigarette use in 2014.
The 10.82 million adult vapers includes 4 million current vapers who are also current smokers...
Despite the misinformation campaign against smoke-free substitutes, the number of current vapers who were former smokers increased from 3.04 million in 2018, to 4.27 million in 2019. That is over one million more than the year before, and the highest number since tracking started.
Note that there were 2.55 million never smokers who vaped in 2019, up from 1.71 million the year before. In addition, the age profile shifted, becoming a little older. In 2018, over two-thirds of this group were 18-24 years old, dropping to 58 percent in 2019. About one quarter were 25-34 years old, and ten percent were 35-44 years old."
