Middle School Students Who Have Ever Used Vapor Products

County: Washoe
Measurement Period: 2023
This indicator shows the percentage of middle school students who have ever used electronic vapor products.

Why is this important?

Health behavior patterns formed in adolescence play a crucial role in health throughout life. Those who start smoking young are more likely to have a long-term addiction to nicotine than people who start smoking later in life, putting them at greater risk for smoking-related illness and death. Tobacco use begins and is established primarily during adolescence; preventing adolescent tobacco use is critical to ending the tobacco epidemic in the United States.

Technical note: NOTE: The 2021 YRBS data was collected fall semester rather than spring semester, so the students were younger on average. Age can influence the risk behavior prevalence estimates. When comparing 2023 data to 2021 data, please refer to the UNR trend reports which weight the data by age for all years compared. The 2023 Nevada YRBS data were weighted based on the sex, race/ethnicity, and grade level of students in each region. The weighting process ensured that the estimates accurately represent the entire student population in each region and the state as a whole.
