The 2025 National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a record low but persistent 5.2% youth e-cig use, intensifying American Lung Association demands for FDA to reverse its flavored vape authorizations.

Legal experts weigh the viability of forced authorization revocations against public health considerations.
