U.S. adult vapers now outnumber cigarette smokers, CDC reports.

In a significant public health shift, the number of adult vapers in the U.S. has surpassed the number of traditional cigarette smokers for the first time, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The trend reflects a continued decline in smoking rates and a rise in the use of e-cigarettes, particularly among younger adults. Public health officials note the change underscores the need for updated prevention strategies and clearer regulations on vaping products.
