AAP Recommendations on Tobacco & E-Cigarettes

While teen tobacco use has declined since the 1970s, it remains a persistent public health problem – and e-cigarettes are threatening to addict a new generation to nicotine.

In a comprehensive set of policies issued during its 2015 National Conference & Exhibition, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) presented extensive recommendations to protect our nation's youth from the effects of tobacco and nicotine.

AAP Policy Statements:

• Protecting Children From Tobacco and Nicotine
• Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems
