The latest 2024 European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) reports a rise in overall daily rates of smoking and vaping among 15–16-year-olds from 7.9% in 2019 to 14% in 2024, with higher occurrences in Bulgaria and Hungary (25%). Moreover, as a result from the tobacco industry's deliberate targeting of female consumers, girls show higher daily rates of combined smoking and vaping than boys (15% among girls versus 12% among boys).
