With new findings revealing that e-cigarette use has increased from 1.5 million to more than 3.6 million young people within the last year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed new measures against flavored electronic cigarettes, CNN reports. FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD, announced the proposals in a statement released on Thursday. “The changes I seek would protect kids by having all flavored ENDS [electronic nicotine delivery systems] products (other than tobacco, mint and menthol flavors or non-flavored products) sold in age-restricted, in-person locations and, if sold online, under heightened practices for age verification,” Gottlieb said. Mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes would not be included in the proposal because those are more popular among adults than children, Gottlieb explained. Data released by the FDA in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that one in five high school students vaped in the past month, more than two thirds used flavored products and more than a quarter vaped at least 20 of the last 30 days.
