Conversations about youth vaping should begin with the most current data. As noted in our recent comments to FDA, national survey results show that youth vaping has declined significantly since its 2019 peak and is now at the lowest level in a decade. Youth prevention remains a critical priority. At the same time, a shared understanding of today’s data helps ensure the conversation is grounded in the current public health landscape.

The Keep America Beautiful 2026 National Litter Study finds cigarette butt litter declined 62% from 2020 to 2025, building on a nearly 70% reduction from 2009 to 2020. These reductions far exceed the decline in smoking rates alone, pointing to the impact of behavior change, disposal infrastructure, and targeted prevention strategies. As a partner of Keep America Beautiful, we’re aligned with these evidence‑based approaches and are committed to supporting solutions that help reduce litter and protect our communities.

Effective regulation and enforcement are essential to a functional nicotine marketplace. For the nicotine pouch category, this means a system in which FDA‑authorized products can compete in a regulated environment—one that supports adult choice, reinforces compliance, and helps prevent youth access. A marketplace dominated by unauthorized products benefits no one. Enforcement matters—for consumers, retailers, and public health.

During Altria's Q1 2026 earnings, Billy Gifford shared his perspective on the pathway to advancing tobacco harm reduction in the U.S. In our view, consumer demand for e-vapor products demonstrates the potential for the category's role in tobacco harm reduction in the U.S. We see a clear pathway to restoring order and advancing harm reduction, anchored in a more efficient and predictable authorization process that supports responsible innovation. When combined with sustained enforcement, we believe this would allow compliant manufacturers to provide adult nicotine consumers with authorized, high-quality products that are appropriate for the protection of public health.

From an enforcement perspective, we continue to see signs of commitment from enforcement agencies and incremental progress. During the quarter, federal agencies worked alongside local law enforcement to combat illicit products, including a large-scale enforcement action in Northern Virginia supported by the Drug Enforcement Administration. In addition, in states where product directories are in place and properly enforced, we are seeing evidence that these frameworks are helping to reduce the presence of illicit products in tracked channels.

During Altria's Q1 2026 earnings, Billy Gifford highlighted the continued momentum of the on! portfolio. The nicotine pouch category grew 9.1 share points and now represents more than 58% of total oral tobacco. Against this backdrop, reported shipment volume for the total on! portfolio grew nearly 18% to over 46 million cans in the first quarter, reflecting continued demand for on! classic and pipeline shipments for the on! PLUS national expansion. on! PLUS is the first — and only — product authorized under the FDA's pilot program aimed at streamlining PMTA reviews for certain oral nicotine pouches.
