Vaping Restrictions Will Cost Lives Without Shrinking Nicotine Usage

Youth vaping rates have decreased due to education and awareness campaigns, despite some concerns. Public pushback on regulations limiting access to vaping products has arisen, arguing for adult choice. Fluctuations in youth vaping statistics are linked to a decline in smoking. The misconception of flavored vapes targeting teens is disputed by declining youth nicotine use. Vaping aids smoking cessation, with flavors helping transition smokers to a safer alternative. FDA regulations limiting approval hinder market competition. Slow processing prevents harm reduction products from reaching smokers. Challenging FDA decisions could increase market competition and save lives. Restrictive measures aimed at preventing youth vaping may negatively impact adult smokers trying to quit.
