Study shows most youth vaping in the State of Hawai‘i live on the Big Island

The Hawaiʻi State Department of Health and Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute have relaunched the Stronger Together campaign to address youth vaping in the state, focusing on tobacco industry strategies targeting young people. Most high school students who vape are in Hawai‘i County, with percentages in other counties ranging from 13% to 22%. Counties are seeking authority to regulate tobacco sales following the removal of this ability in 2018. The tobacco industry's marketing impact costs Hawaiʻi millions annually.
