Opinion: Kids have stopped smoking. Someone please tell the anti-vape zealots

Teen smoking rates in the U.S. and Canada have dropped dramatically, nearing zero, from 25% in the 1990s. This significant decline, celebrated by researcher Ken Warner, is largely attributed to the rise of vaping, particularly after 2018 with the introduction of Juul and Vuse. While health authorities deserve credit for the gradual decline in smoking, vaping has accelerated this trend, especially among youth. However, this factor remains underdiscussed by health groups and governments.


11.40% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 3.6 million current smokers in Canada 13.70% of men are current smokers but only 9.20% of women.
