Don’t Freak Out About Fruit-Flavored Vapes
Fruit-flavoured vapes are often treated as a youth problem, but for many adult smokers they are part of what makes switching away from cigarettes work. Flavours can help distance people from the taste and ritual of smoking while keeping them within legal, regulated markets. Protecting young people matters, but panic-driven flavour bans risk removing one of the tools adults use to quit combustible tobacco. Regulation should target youth access without undermining harm reduction.
14.10% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 39.8 million current smokers in United States 17.10% of men are current smokers but only 11.10% of women.
