Seasoning E-liquid may cause teens to become addicted
According to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po report, vapes have become popular all over the world in recent years. Many manufacturers claim that they have fewer harmful substances, attracting a large number of young people to join the ranks of "electronic smokers." The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) therefore requires major vape manufacturers to propose plans to prevent juvenile Vaping vapes, otherwise it will completely banned flavored vapes.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has carried out nationwide law enforcement actions in recent months and found that the number of minors in Vaping vapes has risen sharply. Many merchants have illegally sold vapes to minors. The FDA has therefore applied to major vape producers. An ultimatum is issued, requiring manufacturers to propose a plan to prevent juvenile Vaping vapes within 60 days, otherwise it will immediately ban the sale of scented vapes throughout the United States.
Vapes have become popular smokers or smoking cessation products in the United States in recent years. In fact, vapes have indeed caused the smoking rate in the United States to decline year by year, especially among adolescents. Now that the problem is coming, the smoking rate among teenagers has dropped, but the rate of Vaping vapes among teenagers has risen. This is the concern of the FDA.
At present, major vape manufacturers in the United States have introduced E-liquids for flavoring E-liquid, such as E-liquid for cakes, candies, and fruits. The move was directed at young customers because of criticism from outsiders.
FDA Secretary Gottlieb quoted an FDA unpublished report that the number of minors in Vaping vapes has soared, and the situation is cause for concern. There will be more and more young people who are addicted to vapes.
The FDA adopted a undercover enforcement action against the illegal sale of electronic cigarettes to young people this summer. A total of 1,100 warning letters were issued to retailers, and a fine of 131 cases was shown to be serious.
Gottlieb described the issue of vape as an "epidemic tide". The FDA will first target the scented vape. If the manufacturer does not improve as required, it will consider a total ban on all similar products in real time.
The FDA's decision can be said to be a complete change in attitude. Since last year, Gottlieb has repeatedly stated in public that vapes are an alternative to helping adults quit traditional cigarettes, but he recently announced his decision to control the use of smoky electronic cigarettes and admitted to underestimating the vapes in young The prevalence of people.
Some anti-smoking organizations said that this is the first time the FDA has recognized the need to deal with the issue of Vaping vapes among adolescents. The FDA had banned the sale of vapes to minors the year before, but the latest data showed that the relevant legislation was not implemented.
