E-cigarette Unit Sales by Product and Flavor Type, and Top-Selling Brands, United States, 2020-2022

U.S. e-cigarette sales climbed during 2020-2022, with increases in the number of brands and sales of disposable devices and flavors popular among youth.

To assess trends in unit sales of e-cigarettes in the United States, by product and flavor, and determine the top-selling brands, CDC Foundation, Truth Initiative, and CDC analyzed retail scanner data during January 26, 2020 – December 25, 2022.

Overall, e-cigarette unit sales increased by nearly 47% during the study period.

Monitoring e-cigarette sales can inform strategies to prevent youth tobacco use, including potentially proposing restriction on flavored tobacco products.
