A recent study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that more than one in ten American young adults were using vapes, a concern given the negative impact e-cigarette usage can have on young brains.

The July 21 CDC study (pdf) found that 11 percent of young adults aged 18-24 were current e-cigarette users. Vaping among this demographic is a concern “because nicotine adversely impacts brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s.” Young adults were the most likely to use e-cigarettes among all adults.
