CONCORD — Highlighting a growing epidemic among adolescents in New Hampshire, e-cigarettes are now the tobacco product most commonly used by youth in the state and a new law seeks to fight that trend.

According to the 2017 N.H. Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 24 percent of high school-aged youth reported having used electronic vaping products (including e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, vape pipes, vaping pens, e-hookahs and hookah pens) in the past 30 days. This compares to the national average of 13 percent.
