Clearly, however, any compromise on e-cigarettes can’t happen without some understanding of the desires of adult vapers. The American Vaping Association recently called me a “smug and misinformed doctor,” so for the past few weeks, I've set out to become “vaping-woke.” On Twitter, I read countless personal stories, from thousands of ex-cigarette smokers.
Adult vapors appreciate flavors in the same way anyone would appreciate variety in a frozen-yogurt store. But also not surprisingly, flavors appeal the most to younger users., show that 85 percent of current e-cigarette users ages 12–17 use flavored versions of e-cigarettes compared to 63 percent of adults ages 25 and older.
The differentiation lies in motivation. Adults users, as advertised by the industry, turn to e-cigarettes to transition away from combustible tobacco. On the other hand, a majority of teens and even adults with no previous smoking history are attracted foremost by the flavors. I actually agree with that an outright-ban of vaping may have unintended consequences — also, it will be ironic if e-cigarettes are banned while traditional cigarettes were still widely sold. CigarettesIt goes without saying that reducing this number is a vital goal. If a regulated e-cigarette industry for adults can help achieve that, great.
THINK Why don’t we ban real cigarettes too. There are years of research on how bad they are. Maybe because tabacco companies have hands in the pocket of legislators?
THINK Huh, no one is saying get rid of wine coolers and fruity alcohol that might appeal to teens.
THINK And ban menthol cigarettes while we’re at it!
THINK Pretty sure that's a cart in the thumbnail but go off NBC
THINK 🙄
THINK That is fuckin good Hope it's has no effect to the body
