Vape flavour restrictions could weaken smoking quit attempts, studies suggest

Vape flavour restrictions may weaken quit attempts by making lower-risk alternatives less appealing to adult smokers. Flavours can help people move away from the taste and ritual of cigarettes, supporting a clearer break from combustible tobacco. Protecting young people is essential, but broad flavour bans risk removing one of the tools that helps smokers switch. Evidence-based policy should target youth access without undermining adult cessation.
