Drug Use by Teens Declines

Most 8th, 10thand 12thgraders are using less drugs than in the past. 6.1% of 8thgraders, 9.6% of 10thgraders, and 12.4% of 12thgraders have used illicit drugs in 2018. So, not everyone is using drugs. But vaping has increased significantly which does have health implications for teen populations. https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/monitoring-future-survey-high-school-youth-trends
