Do more teenagers smoke cigarettes and pot now?

Fewer: Teens are wising up about tobacco and fewer are taking it up, percentage-wise, than in the old days. Cannabis is mainstream in much of the world and this isn't the place to debate the wisdom of the laws; there are no reliable numbers concerning its historic use. Why do you ask?

Depends on which: part of the country you live in. In Washington State, our county has had a stable teen smoking rate of about 7% if not decreasing slightly. It is still unclear about e-cigarettes. Anywhere from 7-19% of kids have use marijuana in the past month. This is increasing slightly when comparing to 2006.
