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.

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.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Monday, Dec. 2, over whether to ban sweet- and fruit-flavored vapes and vaping products.
