Monitoring E-Cigarette Use Among Youth

The CDC Foundation and its partners generate timely, scientifically rigorous data to analyze tobacco product retail sales data, evaluate trends in consumer behavior, and provide insights into tobacco use perceptions and behaviors among youth and young adults in the United States.

Since 2019, the Monitoring Tobacco Retail Sales and E-Cigarette Use Among U.S. Youth and Young Adults program has provided data for public health leaders, tobacco control professionals, researchers, and policymakers to understand trends in tobacco product use and assess the impact of tobacco control policies, including e-cigarette flavor policies, in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Analyze tobacco product retail sales data 

The program uses retail scanner data for thousands of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products on the United States market to identify and analyze key characteristics of different products and rigorously quantify sales in relation to state- and national-level policies. 

Assess changes in tobacco-related behaviors and perceptions 

The Tobacco Epidemic Evaluation Network (TEEN+) Study is a nationally representative longitudinal study of youth and young adults in the United States. The online survey assesses changes in tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among young people in the context of a rapidly changing policy and product landscape.
