In Favor of Flavor

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) to regulate the tobacco and nicotine market and reduce health risks. One of their priorities is understanding the impact of flavored tobacco and nicotine products like e-cigarettes and snus. The CTP must consider both sides of the debate - opponents believe flavored products encourage vaping among adults and minors, acting as a gateway to traditional cigarettes, while proponents argue they help people switch from combustible cigarettes to safer alternatives.
