The changing face of nicotine use in England: Age‐specific annual trends, 2014 to 2024
Generational shifts in nicotine use are occurring in England. Nicotine use has risen among young adults over the past decade, but they are increasingly moving away from daily cigarette smoking towards vaping or non-daily smoking. While older adults have also shown movement away from daily smoking, traditional smoking patterns remain more prevalent in this group. These trends suggest vaping may gradually replace smoking as the dominant form of nicotine consumption.
