WASHINGTON −Six years after teen vaping was declared an epidemic, the use of e-cigarettes by young people has declined to its lowest level in a decade. “That’s a big deal,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in September when announcing usage had dropped to 6% among middle and high school students.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday on whether to reinstate a federal ban on sweet-flavored vaping products. The case centers on the FDA 's efforts to regulate e-cigarettes to fight teen nicotine addiction. Experts say past bans helped drive down "epidemic" levels of young people vaping in 2019.

Vaping is coming before the Supreme Court next week as federal regulators ask the high court to uphold its block on sweet, flavored products following a spike in youth e-cigarette use.

A dispute over the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's refusal to let two e-cigarette companies sell flavored vape products due to their health risk to youths goes before the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday in another case involving the power of regulatory agencies.
