VAPING NEWS: CONSEQUENCES OF FLAVOR BANS

“A lot of these actions are hinging on the so-called “epidemic” the FDA has highlighted over teen e-cig use, as well as the lung illness outbreak last year that resulted in dozens of deaths and thousands of injuries. The problem is that adult usage is getting swept up in the hysteria over teen use, and the health issues were almost entirely related to illicit vape products mostly bought on the internet. Policymakers are now willing to ban commercially tested products — and that will lead to the purchase of more black market products. It will also crush the movement away from cigarettes. If other states follow California’s or Massachusetts’ lead, the opportunity to wean smokers off of cigarettes will be greatly diminished.”
