In 2025, vaping and cannabis use among young adults reached record-high levels.

The claim concerns a specific year and population, so confirming it requires national 2025 data that directly measures vaping and cannabis use among young adults and compares those rates with previous years.

The strongest evidence in the provided results comes from University of Michigan and Institute for Social Research summaries of the Monitoring the Future survey. Those sources state that cannabis use and nicotine and cannabis vaping were at or near all-time highs in 2024. The Survey Research Center result specifically describes some 2024 measures as reaching their highest recorded levels, but the search material does not show equivalent 2025 findings.

Several sources support a broader trend of increased or historically high use:

• The Addiction Policy Forum summary says that cannabis vaping among young adults doubled since it was first measured in 2017 and reached its highest recorded levels in 2024.
• Respiratory Therapy similarly reports that cannabis use and nicotine and cannabis vaping reached or remained near all-time highs in 2024 among young and midlife adults.
• Columbia University evidence indicates that combined cannabis and nicotine or tobacco use is common among young adults, especially those who vape, but this concerns patterns of co-use rather than whether 2025 prevalence reached a record.
• The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs article reviews risk factors for cannabis vaping among adolescents and young adults. It supports the existence of increasing concern and prevalence, but the supplied result does not establish a 2025 record high.
• The Springer study examines abstinence from nicotine vaping and cannabis use among adolescents and young adults in cessation trials. It is relevant to the relationship between the behaviors but does not verify population-wide record levels in 2025.

The claim may be based on a continuation of trends observed through 2024, but that is not the same as evidence that 2025 was a record year. The wording also combines vaping and cannabis use, which may refer to separate behaviors, nicotine vaping, cannabis vaping, or both. The supplied sources do not clearly resolve that distinction for 2025.
