Description
Brad Rodu and Nantaporn Plurphanswat fill a decade-long gap in American tobacco statistics: how smoking and vaping overlap, in a 2024 short report. Federal surveys tracked each habit separately for years, leaving the substitution question data-poor.
Combining two national surveys from 2011 to 2022, the authors compute joint rates for high schoolers and adults to age 44. Smoking fell sharply, above all in teenagers and the youngest adults. Vaping climbed steeply in the same years. Former smokers made up a growing share of vapers. Quit ratios jumped among adults in their early twenties, long a low-quitting group. The numbers will not settle the gateway debate, but they frame it properly.
