This research looked at vaping as a smoking cessation tool in Australian adult smokers. The results unsurprisingly found that E-Cigarettes may have benefits for public health.The study noted that the frequency of E-Cigarette use is likely an important factor for smoking cessation success. Those that were noted to vape daily were more likely to quit or reduce smoking cigarettes than Australian smokers who didn’t. Given Australia’s current stance on vaping, this could be quite problematic.

The smoking rate in 2022 among adult Americans dropped to its lowest rate since health officials began measuring it, according to survey results released yesterday. The decline came alongside an increase in the percentage of U.S. adults who vape. Preliminary full-year 2022 results from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) showed just 11.2 percent of adults smoked every day or some days. More than half as many surveyed adults, 5.8 percent, used vaping products every day or some days. In the fourth quarter of 2022, adult vaping prevalence reached 6.6 percent—the highest number since the NHIS added vaping to its survey in 2019. The results are estimates, and could be revised later. The NHIS is conducted annually by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Manufacturers of synthetic nicotine products have — for now — a short window for applying for Food and Drug Administration approval of a premarket tobacco product application.In middle of March, President Joe Biden signed into law U.S. House Resolution 2471, a $1.5 trillion federal funding bill that contained language placing the use of synthetic nicotine under the FDA’s authority. That aspect of the law goes into effect April 14.

The Canadian government has proposed the country’s first federal tax on vaping products in its 2022 budget. The vape tax, part of the proposed federal budget announced Thursday, would take effect Oct. 1—if it passes Parliament as written.The proposed tax is substantial, and includes an option for Canadian provinces to piggyback on the federal tax with an equally large assessment of their own. The national government is encouraging provinces and territories to pass equally large taxes, which would be administered by federal tax authorities.

Currently, most mainstream e-cigarettes use a vaporizer to turn liquids into steam, simulating the sensation of smoking. Because there is steam between the throughput, e-cigarette enthusiasts often refer to themselves as vapers.

Currently, the legal age for purchasing E-Cigarettes is set at 18 – this is also the legal age for buying cigarettes. Issues arise however when retailers do not challenge the age of those they sell to, or parents and friends buying E-Cigarettes for those younger than them. Early last year the Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVA) launched an Age of Sale Guidance for vape shops and retailers, due to concerns. Raising the legal age to 21 could be beneficial for trying to limit vaping products falling into the hands of young adults. There could also be benefits to vaping brands/retailers and parents appropriately educating underage children about the harms of smoking cigarettes and by extension, vaping.
