William Schultz, former FDA deputy commissioner, notes the arrival of e-cigarettes has turned a public health victory into a threat, as vaping surged among teens.
Vaping's popularity among teenagers has skyrocketed, with daily use among high school students jumping from 9.7% in 2014 to 30% in 2023, raising public health concerns.
