It’s easier than you might think for teens to buy restricted e-cigarette devices online

A recent study revealed loopholes allowing minors to purchase e-cigarettes online despite regulations. Restrictions on sales have decreased teen e-cigarette use, but over 1.6 million students still reported using them in 2024. Only 5.7% of deliveries required an ID scan as per the 2020 Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act. Researchers recommend stricter monitoring of online retailers to prevent youth access. Deceptive marketing practices by tobacco companies target underage customers with flavored products. The FDA faces challenges in regulating tobacco products due to delays.
