The great vape sham: How super-strength e-cigarettes conquered America

Daily Mail  

Vaping hit the mainstream in the 2010s and was viewed as a safe smoking cessation tool that could finally wean millions of tobacco users off cigarettes. Though vapes have been touted as an offramp for cigarette smokers, a 2018 analysis in the Annals of Internal Medicine estimates 1.9 million American adults who vape have never smoked tobacco cigarettes. Despite prohibitions on certain flavored e-cigarette products, a typical smoke shop in New York City is rife with options ranging from petite blue raspberry-flavored Elf bars to menthol Juul pods with 5 percent nicotine concentration. Mr Tony Abboud, executive director of the industry trade group the Vapor Technology Association, told DailyMail.com that the FDA’s single focus on youth use has come at the expense of making a wider variety of non-smokable tobacco products available to adults who are legally allowed to use them. The VTA maintains that the FDA has failed to adequately address two separate pillars of the vaping issue: curtailing youth use while maintaining flavored products’ availability for adults.
