Advertising of tobacco products has been shown to cause youth to start using those products. The unrestricted marketing of e-cigarettes and dramatic increases in their use by youth could reverse decades of progress in preventing tobacco use among youth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The same advertising tactics the tobacco industry used years ago to get kids addicted to nicotine are now being used to entice a new generation of young people to use e-cigarettes,&#8221; said CDC Director <span class=\"xn-person\">Tom Frieden<\/span>, M.D., M.P.H. &#8220;I hope all can agree that kids should not use e-cigarettes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Data from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) show 68.9 percent of middle and high school students see e-cigarettes ads from one or more media sources. More youth see e-cigarette ads in retail stores (54.8 percent) than online (39.8 percent), in TV\/movies (36.5 percent), or in newspapers and magazines (30.4 percent).<\/p>\n<p>E-cigarettes typically deliver nicotine, which at a young age may cause lasting harm to brain development, promote addiction, and lead to sustained tobacco use. In 2014, e-cigarettes became the most commonly used tobacco product among youth, surpassing conventional cigarettes. During 2011 to 2014, current e-cigarette use among high school students soared from 1.5 percent to 13.4 percent, and among middle school students from 0.6 percent to 3.9 percent. Spending on e-cigarette advertising rose from <span class=\"xn-money\">$6.4 million<\/span> in 2011 to an estimated <span class=\"xn-money\">$115 million<\/span> in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Strategies to reduce youth access to e-cigarettes could include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Limiting tobacco product sales to facilities that never admit youth, <\/li>\n<li>Restricting the number of stores that sell tobacco and how close they can be to schools, <\/li>\n<li>Requiring that e-cigarettes be sold only through face-to-face transactions, not on the Internet, and <\/li>\n<li>Requiring age verification to enter e-cigarette vendor&#8217;s websites, make purchases, and accept deliveries of e-cigarettes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;States and communities can also help reduce youth tobacco use by funding tobacco prevention and control programs that address the diversity of tobacco products available on the market, including e-cigarettes,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Corinne Graffunder<\/span>, Dr.P.H., director of CDC&#8217;s Office on Smoking and Health. &#8220;We know what works to effectively reduce youth tobacco use. If we were to fully invest in these proven strategies, we could significantly reduce the staggering toll that tobacco takes on our families and communities.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Other key findings in the <span class=\"xn-person\">Vital Signs<\/span> report show that:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>More than half of high school students (8.3 million) saw e-cigarette ads in retail stores, and more than 6 million saw them on the Internet. <\/li>\n<li>More than half of middle school students (6 million) saw e-cigarettes ads in retail stores, and more than 4 million saw them on the Internet. <\/li>\n<li>About 15 percent of all students (4.1 million) saw e-cigarette ads from all four sources: retail stores, the Internet, TV\/movies, and magazines\/newspapers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act gave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and sale of certain tobacco products. FDA has announced its intention to regulate e-cigarettes and other currently unregulated tobacco products as part of this Act. The rulemaking is currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vitalsigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vital Signs<\/a> is a report that appears on the first Tuesday of the month as part of the CDC journal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report<\/a>.
