For instance, the rate of cigar smoking and other tobacco or nicotine products, including electronic cigarettes, hasn’t budged lately. E-cigarette use is especially more prevalent among young adults (14.8% of those between 18 and 24). Overall, 18.8% of adults used some tobacco product in 2024, or about 47.7 million Americans.
