Of all the feature film nominees across categories, 61% depicted tobacco use, including the box office hits: "The Lost Daughter," "No Time to Die," and "House of Gucci."

According to the 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey , more than two million high school and middle school students used e-cigarettes.
