How does the decrease in smoking cigarettes compare to the increase in vaping? Has teen consumption of nicotine decreased overall, or is this just a shifting of delivery mechanism?

Tobacco addiction, smelly odors, heavy health problems and shortened life expectancy, it's pretty expansive for a teenager "coolness".
