The US Monitoring the Future survey of 8660 students found decreases in perceived accessibility of some vaping products, as well as increases in perceived risk of nicotine vaping between 2019 and 2020. Yet, adolescent nicotine vaping remains highly prevalent, flavors remain highly accessible, and declines in JUUL use were countered by increased use of other brands.
