Unfortunately, the new report from the CDC says about one in three high schoolers, and one in eight middle schoolers has used some tobacco product in the past month, whether it's e-cigarettes, tobacco cigarettes, hookahs, or pipe tobacco.
For the sixth year in a row, e-cigarettes are the most commonly used form.
Unfortunately, 28 percent of middle and high schoolers don't think there's any harm in e-cigarettes if they're not used every day.
