美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 的一项最新调查显示，美国青少年吸烟率在今年降至历史新低，这得益于青少年使用烟草产品的整体下降。调查结果显示，过去一年中，至少使用过一种烟草产品的初中和高中生人数下降了 20%，从去年的 280 万人降至今年的 225 万人，这是自 1999 年 CDC 开始进行这项重要调查以来的最低水平。青少年电子烟的使用率也大幅下降，从去年的 7.7% 降至今年的不到 6%，创下了过去十年的最低水平。调查结果表明，青少年吸烟率下降与一系列措施有关，包括价格上涨、公共卫生教育活动、年龄限制以及对向儿童销售产品的零售商和制造商采取更强有力的执法措施。

🚭 **青少年烟草产品使用率创历史新低:** 2023 年，美国初中和高中生中至少使用过一种烟草产品的比例下降了 20%，从去年的 280 万人降至今年的 225 万人，这是自 1999 年 CDC 开始进行这项重要调查以来的最低水平。

💨 **电子烟使用率大幅下降:** 青少年电子烟的使用率从去年的 7.7% 降至今年的不到 6%，创下了过去十年的最低水平。

📈 **多种措施共同推动烟草使用率下降:** 调查结果表明，青少年吸烟率下降与一系列措施有关，包括价格上涨、公共卫生教育活动、年龄限制以及对向儿童销售产品的零售商和制造商采取更强有力的执法措施。

📊 **不同群体烟草使用情况差异:** 调查结果还显示，不同群体青少年烟草使用情况存在差异。例如，高中生中任何烟草产品的使用率从近 13% 降至 10%，电子烟使用率从 10% 降至不到 8%；而初中生中，烟草产品的使用率则没有变化。

📉 **部分群体烟草使用率上升:** 调查结果还显示，部分群体青少年烟草使用率出现上升。例如，美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民学生中，当前烟草的使用率有所上升；而白人青少年中，尼古丁袋的使用率有所上升。

Teen smoking hit an all-time low in the U.S. this year, part of a big drop in the youth use of tobacco overall, the government reported Thursday.There was a 20% drop in the estimated number of middle and high school students who recently used at least one tobacco product, including cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, nicotine pouches and hookahs. The number went from 2.8 million last year to 2.25 million this year — the lowest since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s key survey began in 1999.“Reaching a 25-year low for youth tobacco product use is an extraordinary milestone for public health,” said Deirdre Lawrence Kittner, director of CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health, in a statement. However, “our mission is far from complete.”A previously reported drop in vaping largely explains the overall decline in tobacco use from 10% to about 8% of students, health officials said.The youth e-cigarette rate fell to under 6% this year, down from 7.7% last year — the lowest at any point in the last decade. E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco products among teens, followed by nicotine pouches.Use of other products has been dropping, too.Twenty-five years ago, nearly 30% of high school students smoked. This year, it was just 1.7%, down from the 1.9%. That one-year decline is so small it is not considered statistically significant, but marks the lowest since the survey began 25 years ago. The middle school rate also is at its lowest mark.Recent use of hookahs also dropped, from 1.1% to 0.7%.The results come from an annual CDC survey, which included nearly 30,000 middle and high school students at 283 schools. The response rate this year was about 33%.Officials attribute the declines to a number of measures, ranging from price increases and public health education campaigns to age restrictions and more aggressive enforcement against retailers and manufacturers selling products to kids.Among high school students, use of any tobacco product dropped to 10%, from nearly 13% and e-cigarette use dipped under 8%, from 10%. But there was no change reported for middle school students, who less commonly vape or smoke or use other products,Current use of tobacco fell among girls and Hispanic students, but rose among American Indian or Alaska Native students. And current use of nicotine pouches increased among white kids.Recommended newsletter The Broadsheet: Covers the trends and issues impacting women in and out of the workplace and the women transforming the future of business.
