In response to rising levels of youth e-cigarette use, on September 11, 2019, the federal administration announced a future ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, but final guidance from the FDA, issued January 2, 2020, only prohibits the sale of flavored cartridge-based (closed system) e-cigarette products other than menthol or tobacco flavor

As of September 30, 2023, 127 jurisdictions have fully comprehensive policies that prohibit sales of all types of flavored tobacco products, including menthol/mint/wintergreen tobacco products, at all retailers

Nicotine Addiction Many e-liquids contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can lead to dependence on vaping products

For example, in 2016, the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a mandate requiring housing authorities to adopt smoke-free policies, affecting 1.2 million households nationwide (PIH, 2016)

In response to increasingly stringent restrictions on tobacco advertising, promotions, and sales, tobacco companies have turned to other novel marketing tactics such as flavor descriptors or flavor imagery, to appeal to target audiences [41]
