The hope that vaping could help curtail tobacco use — which leads to more than 480,000 U.S. deaths a year — shaped regulators' initial approach to e-cigarettes.
To understand the scale of the public health challenge vaping presents, consider the Vapor Shop on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
But there’s another, bigger risk: Curbing flavored vapes could close off access to what many people claim has been an effective tool in helping them break a cigarette habit. Hernandez puts himself in that group. He says vaping helped him largely quit smoking after his children were born.Justin Boivin, 39, who owns the Juicy Vape Shop in Abbotsford, Canada, was visiting the U.S. and stopped in at the Vapor Shop on Wednesday.
A number of young adults visiting a vape shop in New York this week said they hadn’t smoked before they started vaping, or had started after experimenting with traditional cigarettes. Many said they used flavors such as mint or mango that would be pulled from the market for a time under the restrictions proposed by U.S. officials this week.
Since the emergence of the lung illness, several states have taken steps of their own to rein in vaping. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered health officials to require retailers to post warnings about vaping risks. In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last week ordered a ban on the sale of flavored nicotine products in stores and online for six months. Stores will have 30 days to stop sales once the emergency rules are written, likely later this month, Whitmer said.
