About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who reported vaping every day at present. This indicator includes vaping e-liquid with nicotine, without nicotine, or when the student didn't know whether it contained nicotine. Additionally, it includes all e-cigarettes, vaporizers and vape pens. Vaping cannabis is not included.

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "every day" by the number of respondents who answered "I do not use e-cigarettes, less than once a week, at least once a week, but not every day or every day" to the question: How often do you use e-cigarettes at present?
