Authors of the \u201cYouth Perceptions of Juul in the United States,\u201d found that a paltry 5 percent of respondents said it was the different flavors of the e-cigarettes that brought them to the product. \u201cFlavors are an essential element of encouraging switching to vaping, and we need regulations that focus on a risk-benefit analysis rather than inadvertently perpetuating the cigarette epidemic,\u201d said David Sweanor of the Center for Health Law, Policy and Ethics at the University of Ottawa.
