Center for Disease Control and Prevention. E-Cigarettes Shaped Like USB Flash Drives: Information for Parents, Educators and Health Care Providers. June 2018.

CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health created a new four-page fact sheet, formatted as an infographic, about USB-shaped e-cigarettes and youth. It provides public health messaging about the risks of the products and actions that parents, educators, and health care providers can take to protect kids.

Given widespread reports of a rapid rise in use of these products, we hope that this plain-language fact sheet will be a helpful resource for parents, teachers and doctors as they work to help prevent e-cigarette use by youth. A PDF version is attached and the fact sheet is also available on CDC’s website here: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/youth/index.htm
