The study concluded that from 2019 to 2021, disposable e-cigarette use skyrocketed by more than 23 times among high school e-cigarette users (from 2.4% to 55.8%) and more than 14 times among middle school e-cigarette users (from 3% to 43.8%). Additionally, according to National Youth Tobacco Survey 2020, it was estimated that in 2019-2020 more than 23.6% of high school students in the U.S. use at least one tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. As per the same source, smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. killing over 480,000 people per year. Furthermore, COPD is usually caused by cigarette smoking, though long-term exposure to other lung irritants, like secondhand smoke, can also contribute to COPD. Smoking damages the air sacs, airways, and the lining of the lungs making it sensitive for COPD and other respiratory disorders. Smoking is also a trigger for COPD flare-ups. Injured lungs have trouble moving enough air in and out, so it's hard to breathe; one of the major symptoms of COPD. Moreover, smoking and secondhand smoke exposure during childhood and teenage years can slow lung growth and development. The rising consumption of smoking globally will increase the prevalence of COPD, leading to the surging demand of the treatment devices ultimately bolstering the overall market growth of COPD treating devices.
