Electronic Smoking Devices and Secondhand Aerosol American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation
New York State law restricts the sale of flavored vapor products intended or reasonably expected to be used with or for the consumption of nicotine, regardless of whether the nicotine is derived from tobacco or synthetic. Other electronic vapor products that use e-liquids include e-cigars, e-pipes, and hookah pens (e-hookah). Some have rechargeable batteries and changeable prefilled cartridges; others are disposable after running out of charge or e-liquid. Reported sales of cartridge products increased from $2.133 billion in 2020 to $2.496 billion in 2021; sales of disposable, non-refillable e-cigarette products increased from $261.9 million in 2020 to $267.1 million in 2021. The market share of disposable e-cigarette products increased from 52.0% to 57.8% between 2022 and 2023. Among disposable e-cigarette products, those with flavors other than tobacco accounted for 94.7% of the market in 2023.
Larger devices, such as tank systems or “mods,” do not look like other tobacco products. According to a 2017 study, teens who use e-cigarettes are more likely to smoke regular tobacco products later on, compared with their peers. An electronic cigarette is a battery-operated device that emits a vaporized solution to inhale. These devices have various names, including e-cigarettes, e-hookahs, vaporizer cigarettes, vapes, and vape pens.They come in a range of shapes. Cigarette use among New Jersey high school students has declined steadily since the Department of Health began measuring it in 1999. In 2012, the Department began measuring youth “vaping,” or use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes).
By 2021, the percentage of EVP use was higher in girls (5.6%) than boys (4.5%), a one-and-one-quarter increase. An employer, manager or other person in charge cannot fire, refuse to hire, penalize, discriminate or retaliate against an employee, applicant or customer who exercises any right to a smoke-free environment provided under the MCIAA. “Indoor Area” means a space between a floor and a ceiling that is at least 50% enclosed by walls, doorways or windows (open or closed) around the perimeter. A wall includes retractable dividers, garage doors, plastic sheeting or any other temporary or permanent physical barrier. The Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act (MCIAA) is a state law that describes where smoking is prohibited, outlines the responsibilities of employers, managers, and other persons in charge and lists exemptions that affect their workplaces and facilities.
The study led by Dr. Vindhyal included data from a total of 96,467 respondents from the National Health Interview Survey, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-fielded survey of Americans, from 2014, 2016 and 2017. In their analyses, researchers looked at the rates of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, diabetes and depression/anxiety among those who reported using e-cigarettes (either some days or daily) and nonusers. Those who reported using e-cigarettes were younger than nonusers (33 years of age on average vs. 40.4 years old), according to the ACC release. Statewide, Alaskans must be 19 to legally purchase tobacco products and electronic cigarettes. The legal age to purchase tobacco products is 21 in the cities of Anchorage and Sitka. For more information, about e-cigarette use in Alaska, visit the Alaska Department of Health.
The researchers also raise concerns about risks of short- as well as long-term use of EVPs. That’s up to the e-cigarette companies, because the companies get to decide what kind of authorization they want to seek from FDA. There’s no reason why an e-cigarette company can’t say, “Thank you, Center for Tobacco Products, but we’d rather our product be regulated as a drug and we’re going to submit applications to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.” That’s their choice.
The numbers suggest recreational users who don’t have access to a dispensary are more at risk of developing EVALI than those who have access to a dispensary. What’s clear so far is that vaping is involved and vitamin E acetate is not the only culprit. Such findings are deeply concerning because compounds like lead and uranium are known to be harmful to human development. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, the Stanford Diabetes Research Center, the University of California Tobacco Related Disease Research Program and the FDA.
Nearly five times as many high school students use e-cigarettes than smoke cigarettes. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing e-cigarette or vaping products was linked to most EVALI cases. Emergency department visits related to e-cigarette, or vaping, products have sharply declined in recent years, but the CDC continues to monitor reports.
But this flavoring is accompanied by other chemicals comprising the aerosol itself. A study in the American Heart Association journal suggests that e-cigarette flavorings may damage blood vessels and the heart. Harmful substances, trace metals, and other toxins have been found in e-cigarettes. Yet, despite the fact more research is needed, there is enough evidence implying the immediate health risks in using them brings. The negative health consequences from long-term tobacco use and smoking either cigarettes or cigars took decades to prove. Altamore says the FDA has rejected millions of other vaping devices and liquids submitted by the vape industry, including Marco’s Vapor’s own brand Custom Clouds.
The tobacco industry profits from destroying health and is using these newer products to get a seat at the policy-making table with governments to lobby against health policies. The tobacco industry funds and promotes false evidence to argue that these products reduce harm, while at the same time heavily promoting these products to children and non-smokers and continuing to sell billions of cigarettes. Most e-cigarettes have a battery, a heating element, and place to hold a liquid (such as a cartridge or pod). The e-liquid usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals.
In 2019, nearly 28 percent of high-school students and 11 percent of middle-school students reported using e-cigarettes. About 8 percent of young adults ages 18 to 24 reported using e-cigarettes in 2018. In 2019, nearly 28% of high-school students and 11% of middle-school students reported using e-cigarettes. Many of those who vape were likely to report issues that kept them from being able to safely dispose of their used and empty e-cigarette products.
During the physical exam, your doctor will use a stethoscope to listen to your lungs, check your heartrate, and measure your blood oxygen saturation using a pulse oximeter. A chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan is usually necessary for diagnosis and will show hazy looking spots (called opacities) in the lungs. Your doctor may also order bloodwork to rule out other possible causes of your illness. The Impact of E-Cigarettes on the Lung There’s evolving evidence about the health risks and impact of e-cigarettes on the lungs. The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded there is “substantial evidence” that if a youth or young adult uses an e-cigarette, they are at increased risk of using traditional cigarettes.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has regulatory authority over synthetic nicotine as it does over tobacco-derived nicotine. Scroll to the top of the page and click on the blue “Order Publications” box for ordering information and to complete the order form. Check with your airline on any limitations on the number of devices that can be carried for personal use by a passenger. Research from the CDC shows that vaping among youth has declined somewhat since 2020. Kids being stuck at home under their parents’ supervision during the COVID-19 pandemic could contribute to that trend.
At sub-cytotoxic levels both ECVC and nfECVC inhibited phagocytosis of E. Aureus, suggesting vaping might significantly impair bacterial clearance. Our data are supported by murine models in which mice exposed to e-cigarette vapour showed significantly impaired pulmonary bacterial clearance compared with air-exposed mice following an intranasal infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. In vitro PAFR is significantly upregulated by inducers of oxidative stress such as traditional cigarette smoke. E-Cigarettes, also called personal vaporizers or “vapes”, present another way for smokers to ingest nicotine. E-Cigarettes have been marketed to young adults and adolescents through the use of candy and fruit flavors.
Strong decisive action is needed to prevent the uptake of e-cigarettes based on the growing body of evidence of its use by children and adolescents and health harms. Little research has been conducted into the safety of e-cigarettes and e-liquids in pregnancy. It is not known whether the vapour is harmful to a baby in pregnancy.
Compared with other race/ethnicity groups, Hispanics were the least likely to quit and Blacks were the most likely to continue using banned flavors after the ban. Respondents were both less likely to quit e-cigarette use and more likely to continue using banned flavors if they had used e-cigarettes for a greater amount of time or had weaker intentions to quit before the ban. Respondents who used e-cigarettes because of the flavor were more likely to continue using banned flavors (statistically significant for non-TM flavors but not for menthol). Those primarily using non-TM flavors before the ban were most likely to quit using e-cigarettes and more likely to continue the same flavor afterward.
He feels the physical effects of his breathing every time he steps on the field. I could not believe my son had gotten caught up in this vaping epidemic. Jacob and I discussed it many times and he reassured me each time that he would never vape because he was an athlete and he didn’t want to mess up his lungs.
Jacob eventually tried vaping THC as well, but ultimately continued with flavored nicotine because of the flavors; cherry was one of his favorites. He said it tasted great and he could easily hide it from me, or any other adult, by simply passing it off as candy should someone ask about the odor. While many of the products that are sold at 723 Vapor will likely be banned in January, Florence hopes that the lawsuit will help with fixing some of the wording to be able to continue selling hemp vape products. On the rare occasions I partake, instead of filling my nostrils with the taste of a warm crème brûlée, my mouth tastes like a street gutter for an hour. I like the nicotine, but everything else about the experience is viscerally revolting.
And that’s why we would be looking for either a randomized controlled trial, a longitudinal cohort study, or some other kind of rich and robust data to show proof of a benefit. If we don’t see any of the kind of science that should be there to demonstrate benefit, that’s an application that’s probably headed for a denial. But when it comes to kids smok uhds, the harm reduction question doesn’t apply because kids should not be inhaling any of these products into their lungs. After further lawsuits and delays, some caused by the COVID pandemic, a September 2020 court-ordered deadline was established for companies to submit applications to FDA seeking to market their e-cigarette products in the United States. In this interview, Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, provides insights into how e-cigarettes are regulated and recent FDA actions on e-cigarettes.
Middlekauff’s team is interested in researching electronic cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool in groups that have large disparities in tobacco use and in cardiovascular death related to tobacco. The present study results have important implications for the use of e-cigarettes as a cessation tool. “If somebody who smokes tobacco cigarettes is thinking of using electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation, they should realize that there’s potential risk in doing so, especially males,” says Middlekauff. The research led by Mohinder Vindhyal, M.D., M.Ed., was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 68th Annual Scientific Session, with details shared in an ACC press release that prompted international news headlines.
In addition, young adults were significantly more likely to use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes than adults 45 and older. Young adults with family incomes of less than 200% of the federal poverty level also were more likely to use e-cigarettes than those with greater family income. Among young adults, men were slightly more likely to use e-cigarettes than women, while those who are white were more likely to use e-cigarettes than young Black adults and significantly more likely than young Asian or Hispanic/Latino adults. The emergence of vaping-related illnesses, which have prompted federal health agencies’ investigations and advisories, underscore the urgency of research. E-cigarettes are also not approved as quit aids by the FDA or the U.S. Enlist in our movement, explore youth activism programs, share quitting resources and learn about more ways you can get involved.
WHO strives to build a safer, healthier world for everyone, everywhere. This includes the biennial WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, which tracks the status of the tobacco epidemic and interventions to combat it and other relevant resources. Many people diagnosed with EVALI need to be treated in a hospital where medications can be closely monitored, and respiratory support is readily available.
The intent behind this bill is to try to keep vape products out of the hands of children. Florence says that vapor stores cater to adults and that stores are either 21 and up or age-gated to prevent kids from accessing the products. Another research team collected weekly Google search rates related to online shopping for cigarettes and vaping products in California from January 2018 to May 2023. They found that shopping queries were 194% higher than expected for cigarettes and 162% higher than expected for e-cigarettes – which suggests consumers are searching on Google for vendors promoting banned products.
E-cigarettes with nicotine are highly addictive and are harmful to health. Whilst long-term health effects are not fully understood, it has been established that they generate toxic substances, some of which are known to cause cancer and some that increase the risk of heart and lung disorders. Use of e-cigarettes can also affect brain development and lead to learning disorders for young people. Fetal exposure to e-cigarettes can adversely affect the development of the fetus in pregnant women. Exposure to emissions from e-cigarettes also poses risks to bystanders. You might be tempted to turn to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes, vape pens, and other nondisposable and disposable vaping devices) as a way to ease the transition from traditional cigarettes to not smoking at all.
E-cigarettes are considered tobacco products because most of them contain nicotine, which comes from tobacco. The FDA reported earlier this year that 1.3 million more high school students use e-cigarettes now than in 2017. Although the FDA began regulating e-cigarettes and other tobacco products in August 2016, there has been a significant spike in their use.
In 2017, FDA extended the deadline for completed applications to August 2022. When several public health groups, including Truth Initiative, sued FDA, a federal court ordered the agency to require applications be submitted by May 2020. The deadline changed again to September 9, 2020, following FDA and tobacco industry requests for more time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential public health impact of e-cigarettes is a subject of hot debate. Despite inconclusiveness about their short- and long-term health effects, e-cigarettes remain largely unregulated and their popularity among youth and young adults continues to rapidly escalate. At the same time, serious illness and deaths have been linked to their use and recent research could not conclusively determine that they posed fewer health risks than combustible cigarettes.
There are currently 78 licensed tobacco retailers in unincorporated Sonoma County, representing over 20% of the total tobacco retailers throughout the county, including cities, the county said. Given these alarming trends, the researchers advocate for targeted interventions to address the rising vaping rates among adolescents. They suggest mass media campaigns and peer interventions to counteract the social norms that promote such risky behaviors. By 2019, this figure had jumped to 7.2% – more than a threefold increase.
Objective To evaluate whether ECs are superior to NRT and noninferior to varenicline in helping smokers quit. Learn more about e-cigarette aerosol from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to both the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the United States Surgeon General, e-cigarette use among young people is unsafe.
However a recent study found that young people who are using ESDs to quit smoking might be smoking more, not less. Of great concern are the wide range of e-cigarette candy-flavors that appeal to youth. In the autonomic nervous system, sympathetic dominance increases the fight-or-flight response in bodily functions, including heart rate. A new study from the University of Louisville shows the nicotine in certain types of e-cigarettes may be more harmful than others, increasing risk for irregular heartbeat, or heart arrhythmias. The current trial results may help to clarify another question concerning previous trials. Most participants in stop-smoking trials in the West have previous experience with stop-smoking medications.
The rapid uptake of e-cigarettes (also known as vapes or vaping devices) has reversed a trend of declining teen commercial tobacco use in Minnesota. Not only does the use of these products increase the risk for addiction, but it may also worsen chronic health conditions, like asthma, which puts students at risk of increased absenteeism and lower academic performance. Many people believe electronic cigarettes (also called e-cigarettes or vapes) are a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes. But with a recent report from the U.S. surgeon general calling e-cigarette use “a major public health concern,” this may not be the case.
Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products. The agency has taken action on over 96% of the applications to date, including issuing marketing denial orders (MDOs) for more than one million flavored ENDS products that are so popular with young people. The MDOs were issued for products whose applications lacked sufficient evidence that such products have a benefit to adult smokers to overcome the public health concern posed by the well-documented and considerable appeal of the products to youth. The FDA is aware of a number of companies, such as Puff Bar, claiming their products contain only synthetic nicotine not sourced from tobacco, which may raise separate regulatory and legal issues that the agency is considering how best to address.
The inhalation of harmful chemicals can cause irreversible lung damage and lung diseases. This study examined the impact on adult e-cigarette users from the recent e-cigarette-only flavor bans in Washington State, New Jersey, and New York. We found that most respondents continued to use e-cigarettes with banned flavors post-ban and obtain banned-flavor e-cigarettes through legal channels. Enforcing compliance of retailers to the policy is crucial to control e-cigarette use. First, we depicted the characteristics of respondents from the three states with chi-square tests to evaluate demographic differences by state and the distribution of respondents by their tobacco and nicotine use status.
But it’s undeniable that they have less conventional carcinogens compared to oral tobacco products, like chewing tobacco and whatnot. About ORCA-V1The Phase 2 ORCA-V1 trial evaluated 160 adults who used e-cigarettes on a daily basis at five clinical trial locations in the United States. ORCA-V1 participants were randomized to receive 3mg cytisinicline three times daily or placebo for 12 weeks in combination with standard cessation behavioral support. The dose and administration of cytisinicline in the ORCA-V1 study is identical to that used in the Phase 3 registrational trials for smoking cessation. ORCA-V1 was supported in part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) of the NIH through grant funding which was awarded in two phases totaling $2.8 million. “A proliferation of establishments selling electronic smoking devices or electronic smoking device paraphernalia, particularly when concentrated geographically, can have a negative impact on public health, safety and welfare,” the moratorium said.
Nicotine is also highly addictive and can lead to smoking later in life. The latest research, published in a July National Center for Health Statistics data brief, shows that in 2021 タイヤ空気圧センサー 仕組み, e-cigarette use was highest among adults 18 to 24 years old. Young adults also were more likely to use both e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes compared with adults 45 and older. In May 2016, the FDA finalized its “deeming” regulation, asserting the agency’s authority to regulate e-cigarettes and any product meeting the definition of “tobacco product” under the Tobacco Control Act. The FDA can now establish product standards and regulate the manufacture, import, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of e-cigarettes, including components and parts of e-cigarettes. Since 2016, the e-cigarette brand JUUL has surged in popularity among young people and, as of October 2019, holds 64.4% of the e-cigarette market share measured by Nielsen.
In 2012, traditional cigarettes were used at a higher rate than e-cigarettes. It is difficult for consumers to know what e-cigarette products contain. The e-cigarette aerosol that users breathe from the device and exhale can contain harmful and potentially harmful substances. Women who are pregnant, youth, young adults, or adults who are not currently using tobacco products should not start vaping or using e-cigarettes. A recent study compared the acute effects of e-cigarette vapor (with PG/vegetable glycerine plus tobacco flavouring but without nicotine) generated from stainless‐steel atomizer (SS) heating element or from a nickel‐chromium alloy (NC) [92].
Perhaps contrary to what many would expect, vaping marijuana may have as many negative health effects as nicotine-based vaping. This may have more to do with how vape liquids are processed than the THC itself. Here you will find the facts on vaping, based on scientific evidence and research smok wawelski, plus advice on how to use vapes (sometimes called e-cigarettes or e-cigs) as a tool to quit smoking. As e-cigarettes deliver flavorings, additives, and, typically, nicotine through an inhaled aerosol, they are harmful to both the user and those who are exposed secondhand. Surgeon General’s recommendation urging those who influence youth digiflavor disposable, young adults and people who are pregnant to discourage nicotine use in any form, including e-cigarettes. Youth and young adults who want to quit vaping are invited to text DITCHVAPE to to sign up for a totally free, anonymous texting service that provides 24/7 support, daily tips and motivation to keep you focused on your end goal.
The Department saw a sharp increase in e-cigarette use in 2014, when e-cigarettes surpassed traditional cigarettes among New Jersey high school students. In 2016, rates of e-cigarette use remained higher than traditional cigarettes. Misconceptions, peer pressure and marketing tactics all contribute to the staggering rise.
A survey by the WHO and the health ministry on students in 11 localities revealed that the rate of using e-cigarettes among students has been consistently rising among certain age groups. They are addictive as they contain nicotine, can cause diseases like cancer, and affect one’s mental health. With the menthol cigarette ban uncertain, the path for low-risk tobacco product authorization needs to be reimagined to nationally increase MRTP availability, access, and appeal among people who use menthol cigarettes. For example, one study among people who smoke showed that hypothetical general claims about completely switching to a heated tobacco MRTP outperformed specific claims—such as switching from cigarettes will reduce the risk of lung cancer and exposure to arsenic.
People in the combustible tobacco cohort were asked to smoke either a combustible cigarette, a JUUL e-cigarette with 5% nicotine, a research no-nicotine cigarette, or an empty straw. People in the e-cigarette cohort were asked to take 3-second puffs every 30 seconds for 15 minutes on either a mint-flavored e-cigarette (JUUL) with 5% nicotine, a mint-flavored e-cigarette (JUUL) with 0% nicotine, or an empty straw. Afterwards, an EKG was recorded for 5 minutes while lying down in the recliner, followed again by abrupt standing.
Pan and class one isoform phosphoinositide 3 kinase inhibitors partially inhibited the effects of ECVC/nfECVC on macrophage viability and apoptosis. Secretion of interleukin 6, tumour necrosis factor α, CXCL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 was significantly increased following ECVC challenge. Treatment with the anti-oxidant N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) ameliorated the cytotoxic effects of ECVC/nfECVC to levels not significantly different from baseline and restored phagocytic function. E-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke. There are different types of e-cigarette, including vape pens, vape bars, pod devices, mods, and cigalikes.
Talk to your kids about e-cigarettes while they’re still willing to listen. In a recently published randomised trial of 886 subjects who were willing to quit smoking [100], the abstinence rate was found to be twice as high in the e-cigarette group than in the nicotine-replacement group (18.0% vs. 9.9%) after 1 year. Of note, the abstinence rate found in the nicotine-replacement group was lower than what is usually expected with this therapy. Nevertheless, the incidence of throat and mouth irritation was higher in the e-cigarette group than in the nicotine-replacement group (65.3% vs. 51.2%, respectively). Also, the participant adherence to the treatment after 1-year abstinence was significantly higher in the e-cigarette group (80%) than in nicotine-replacement products group (9%) [100]. Of note, another study indicated that although RANTES/CCL5 and CCR1 mRNA were upregulated in flavour/nicotine-containing e-cigarette users voopoo vape argus, vaping flavour and nicotine-less e-cigarettes did not significantly dysregulate cytokine and inflammasome activation [43].
Researchers are working hard to gather more information about e-cigarettes and how they are used. This information may lead to additional regulations and could be helpful for informing the public about what’s in e-cigarettes and the potential health risks of using them. Studies on e-cigarettes as a quitting aid for nicotine addiction and cigarette use are few, with mixed and modest results. Some show that they are about equal in effectiveness to that of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) – like the nicotine patch. The best way to quit is to use quit line counseling and FDA-approved medications. E-cigarette use among both youth and young adults has increased considerably in recent years.

You may have heard different things in the media about the side effects of vaping. This page gives an overview of what we know so far about how vaping can affect your health. Our information relates to legal e-cigarettes – ones that are registered with the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA). Prohibiting e-cigarette use inside or near buildings, vehicles and other enclosed spaces is the only way to eliminate exposure to secondhand e-cigarette aerosol and health risks that may come with it.
Nicotine has significant biologic activity and adversely affects several physiological systems including the cardiovascular, respiratory, immunological and reproductive systems, and can also compromise lung and kidney function [41]. In general, most of the cytokines detected in BALF were significantly increased in WT mice exposed to PG with nicotine compared to PG alone or air control [42]. Some of these effects were found to be through nicotine activation of NF-κB signalling albeit in females but not in males.
Tobacco companies complain that the FDA is unwilling to approve new alternative products — including e-cigarettes — that might help adults quit smoking. EVP use increases risks of nicotine addiction, drug-seeking behavior, mood disorders and long-term risks of avoidable premature morbidities and mortality. In addition, compared to nonusers, adolescents and young adults who use EVPs are more likely to switch to cigarette smoking, which, despite remarkable declines in the U.S., remains the leading avoidable cause of premature death in the U.S. and worldwide.” The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first attempted to regulate e-cigarettes more than a decade ago. The regulations would have treated e-cigarettes as what the agency calls drug/device combination products.
Recycle your used vapes and pods for free with New Zealand’s first vape recycling programme. At least one of the three chemicals was detected in 47 of the 51 flavors tested. Diacetyl was detected above the laboratory limit of detection in 39 of the flavors tested. Acetoin and 2,3-pentanedione were detected in 46 and 23 and of the flavors, respectively. Single-use, disposable e-cigarettes cost anywhere from $1 to $15 each or more. Rechargeable starter kits with multiple pods can cost anywhere from $25 to $150 or more.
Although evidence is lacking, e-cigarettes for inhalation of nicotine may be beneficial in reducing adverse health effects related to the use of combustible tobacco products. However, e-cigarettes are not FDA approved as a smoking cessation tool and the amount of nicotine and other substances a person inhales from each nicotine cartridge remains unclear. When FDA “deemed” e-cigarettes as part of its jurisdiction in 2016, it gave e-cigarettes that were currently on the market two years to prepare premarket applications (known as PMTAs). These applications are what FDA uses to to determine whether new tobacco products are “appropriate for the protection of public health” before they are allowed on the market.
Urgent measures are necessary to prevent uptake of e-cigarettes and counter nicotine addiction alongside a comprehensive approach to tobacco control, and in light of national circumstances. While nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes, most of the harm from smoking comes from the thousands of other chemicals in tobacco smoke, many of which are toxic. Under the PACT Act, delivery sales of electronic nicotine delivery systems must also comply with state, local or tribal laws involving excise taxes on these devices. Further, in 2018, one in 15 (6.7%) middle school students reported using e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, which is the harmful part of cigarettes that causes cancer. The 2024 E-Cigarette Summit marks 60 years since the publication of U.S Surgeon General Luther Terry’s landmark report on smoking and health – a consensus document that unequivocally established the link between smoking and serious disease. Viewed as the catalyst for the modern-day tobacco control movement, the 1964 report remains a historic example of the importance of science-led public health action. E-cigarettes come in many shapes and sizes and can look like USB flash drives, pens, and other everyday items.
Second, the surveys were conducted during the first half of 2020, and respondents’ e-cigarette use patterns may have been influenced by the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. Third smok morph 3, this was a cross-sectional study with a non-representative enient sample and respondents may not have recalled their e-cigarette use before the ban precisely. Fourth, some measures such as the perceived compliance may be biased by the respondents’ e-cigarette use, and objective measures are needed to examine retailers’ compliance. E-cigarettes are not completely risk free but when compared to smoking, evidence shows they carry just a fraction of the harm. The problem is people increasingly think they are at least as harmful and this may be keeping millions of smokers from quitting.
Youth use of e-cigarettes continues to be an emerging public health challenge. Addressing this requires the collaboration of local, state and national partners along with those working directly with youth, such as school administrators, nurses, teachers and others to ensure all young people can learn in an environment free from e-cigarette use. However, e-cigarettes may help non-pregnant adult smokers if used as a complete substitute for all cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products.
With what’s known about it right now, though, experts say it isn’t safe—or even safer— to vape marijuana. This discussion covered the topic of e-cigarette use and its potential treatment with cytisinicline, a plant-based medication which may aid vapers in quitting. Today, experts admit they still don’t fully know what e-cigarette vapor actually contains. Previous laboratory studies have, for instance, found that tobacco or mint flavors contain more toxic metals than sweet ones. There were 134 reports of e-cigarette batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding between 2009 and January 2016, according to Michael Felberbaum, an FDA spokesperson. The new rules will allow FDA to review the safety of batteries and eventually take action to protect the public.
It was not until months later that I understood, at which point my son had now been vaping every day for 3 months, 4 to 5 times a day. LEXINGTON, Ky. — Governor Andy Beshear, Ky-D, signed House Bill 11 into law in early April. It’s a bill that bans retailers from selling unauthorized vapor products. The wording of the bill has vape store owners concerned, and a lawsuit was filed shortly after it was passed to address this. But now that I’ve gotten rid of the endless, all-day vaping, and a nicotine hit makes me stink like a dive bar ashtray, makes my mouth taste like dirt, and makes my friends recoil from my presence, I’ve got reasons to cut back.
Their initial DRAG kits popularised the idea of pocket-friendly devices for sub-ohm pod vaping, making them one of the best vaping brands for innovation. If you were to return to 2010 in a time machine, you’d be stunned by how little there was on offer compared to today. And, these 10 best vape brands are behind some of the best vape kits, mods, and tanks, setting new standards in the vaping world.
Because of their shape, school teachers might not notice students using JUUL in school, including in classrooms and bathrooms. Check out the Truth Initiative report – Behind the Explosive Growth of JUUL. Over 50% of middle school and high school students reported seeing e-cigarette advertising. Only 28% of young people in the U.S. believe e-cigarettes have the potential to cause a lot of harm. Up to 40% of teens who vape are unaware their e-cigarette cartridges contain nicotine.

Among students who report e-cigarette use, approximately 7 out of 10 used fruit flavors.
At minimum, this outbreak dramatically demonstrates the dangers of an unregulated market in inhaled substances with no premarket review for consumer safety. E-cigarettes are hooking a new generation on nicotine – putting millions of kids at risk and threatening decades of progress in reducing youth tobacco use. It’s a nationwide crisis of youth addiction, fueled by thousands of kid-friendly flavors and massive doses of nicotine.
Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s. E-cigarettes can contain other harmful substances, including cancer-causing chemicals; chemicals linked to serious lung disease; and heavy metals, such as nickel, tin, and lead. Young people who use e-cigarettes may be more likely to smoke traditional cigarettes in the future.
Never smokers and former smokers were more likely to quit e-cigarettes. While there were no significant differences in quitting all e-cigarette use after each of the three state bans, e-cigarette users in New York were less likely to use banned flavors after the ban than those in New Jersey. The use of menthol flavor was also higher among smokers than former and never smokers. The percent of non-TM flavors had a reverse pattern, being lowest among daily smokers (46.7%), higher progressively along with those smoked weekly or less, former smokers, and highest among never smokers (79.1%). After the ban, the percentages of e-cigarette users who primarily used tobacco, menthol, and non-TM flavors decreased generally except the menthol share among never smokers did not change. After the ban, the percentage of those who quit using e-cigarettes was highest among never smokers (23.1%) and former smokers (13.5%) compared with 3.2% and 7.8% among those who smoked daily and weekly, respectively.
All individuals should also be strongly counseled to not revert to smoking. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that work by heating a liquid into an aerosol that the user inhales and exhales. The e-cigarette liquid typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, flavorings, and other chemicals. Nicotine is the addictive drug found in regular cigarettes and other tobacco products. Research shows that e-cigarette aerosol often contains substances that can be harmful, including flavoring chemicals (like diacetyl, which is linked to lung disease), metals (like lead), and other cancer-causing chemicals.
Because most tobacco use starts during adolescence, actions to protect our nation’s young people from a lifetime of nicotine addiction are critical. Previous trials that compared ECs and NRT mostly complemented these treatments with intensive behavioral support.5 This raises an important question of whether ECs are effective without such clinical involvement. The present trial suggests that they are, but it does not provide a definitive answer. Although only minimal behavioral support was included, smokers were still asked to set up a TQD and their smoking status was checked monthly, features that are not available to smokers using ECs on their own. To see whether public health messages on EC use for smoking cessation need to include advice to use any additional support, further studies are needed that compare effects of different levels of behavioral support added to ECs. Electronic cigarettes (also known as “e-cigs,” “vapes,” and “electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)”) are battery-powered devices that heat liquid into a vapor for the user to inhale.
The FDA has not authorized any flavored e-cigarette products and reports that it has denied marketing applications for millions of flavored products.

But is smoking e-cigarettes (also called vaping) better for you than using tobacco products? Michael Blaha, M.D., M.P.H., director of clinical research at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, shares health information about vaping. The large increase in the percent of respondents using non-flavored instead of flavored e-cigarettes after the bans could produce public health gains, as added flavors can increase the toxicity of inhaled e-cigarette aerosols (24, 25). In addition, further research is needed to explore whether allowing only non-flavored e-cigarettes might be more beneficial for public health than also allowing tobacco-flavored versions. This is especially important if other measures are implemented to push smokers away from smoked tobacco products or to attract smokers to e-cigarettes, making using flavors to attract smokers less necessary or unnecessary at all.
