Youth tobacco product use in the US is increasing at an alarming rate and you can help stop it. In 2018, more than 1 in 4 high school students and about 1 in 14 middle school students used a tobacco product in the past 30 days. 38.3% more high school students used any tobacco product in 2018 compared to 2017. E-cigarettes, specifically those shaped like USB flash drives, are the main reason for the increase. 1.5 million more youth used e-cigarettes in 2018 compared to 2017. There was no change in the use of other tobacco products, including cigarettes, during 2017-2018. What can parents, educators, healthcare providers, and schools do to prevent and reduce youth use of tobacco products? Find answers at www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns

By default, all searches are OR searches (you don't need to type in the OR operator described below). This means when you search on one or more terms, the results show publications that match any of your search terms.
PCOS ignores stop words, which are commonly occurring words and numbers that are omitted when the search is processed (for example: the, for, a, an). Ignoring these stop words helps with the speed of the search. Note: If you want to include stop words in a search use the Exact Match operator below.
Exact Match Use quotes to search for an exact word or set of words.
Example: "the health consequences of smoking"
AND To search for publications that match all search terms, include AND between the words. The results show publications that match all search terms. The order of your search words does not matter.
Example: smoking AND report
OR To search for publications that may have one of several words, include OR between the words.
Example: youth OR adult
Using OR with AND If OR is used in combination with AND, then it will replace AND.
Example: smoking and youth or adult
Note that since OR will replace AND, the search will be for: smoking OR youth OR adult
