Appealing flavors may help make e-cigarettes more addictive, research suggests

Vaping addiction is mainly due to nicotine in e-cigarettes, not the flavors. However, flavors like menthol can increase usage frequency, especially among young people. Research shows that sweet flavors attract youth to vaping, contributing to nicotine dependence. Efforts have been made to regulate vaping products due to health concerns and their appeal to teens. The FDA oversees restrictions on sales and bans flavored products. Despite regulations, flavored e-cigarettes remain popular among teens. Manufacturers must consider the appeal of their products in addressing addiction issues and promoting public health.
