Health Canada found 29% of teenagers in Grades 7 to 12 have tried an e-cigarette. That number is down slightly overall in Canada, from 34% in 2018-2019 but is higher in older age groups, with 41% of students in Grades 10 to 12 having vaped. Regular use of e-cigarettes also continues to be widespread in Canada, with 17% of students reporting vaping in the past month, down slightly from 20% in 2018-2019 but is again higher in Grades 10 to 12 with over 24% being monthly users. Daily vaping rates were 8% across all students surveyed and close to 12% among those in Grades 10 to 12, which experts say are some of the highest ever reported globally.
