National data suggest that non-Hispanic, White youth engage in electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use at the highest rates. These results are not likely to be mirrored across regional contexts. State-representative data from Utah in 2019 (N = 58,689) were used to estimate the odds of lifetime and past 30-day vaping across seven racial/ethnic categories. Youth in grades 8, 10, and 12 (mean age 15.2; 52% female) self-reported race/ethnicity and vaping product use history, including e-cigarettes, vape pens, or mods. A Cox proportional hazards model estimated the cumulative probabilities for initiating vaping product use. The results indicated that American Indian or Alaskan Native, Black or African American, Hispanic/Latino, Multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander youth had significantly higher odds of both lifetime and past 30-day vaping compared to non-Hispanic White youth. The results showed significant variation in the cumulative probability of initiation by race/ethnicity, with Hispanic/Latino youth reporting the highest odds of initiation at each age. The regional patterns of vaping across racial/ethnic groups may not mirror national trends. State- and community-level data should be used to inform efforts to reduce e-cigarette use and promote health equity among youth
