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).

While public health advocates are frustrated as most PMTAs remain pending despite a September deadline set by the US District Court in Maryland, several anti-tobacco groups keep pressuring the agency to flat out deny applications for flavoured vaping products. With regards to the newly approved Logic Technology products, the FDA said that given that they are just tobacco flavoured, they may be less appealing to teens and could probably be of benefit to adult smokers seeking an alternative to traditional cigarettes. The agency added that their smoking cessation benefits to adults likely outweigh the risks to young people. Similarly, fifteen past Presidents of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) have recently published an article highlighting the importance of weighing the benefits of e-cigarettes against their risks, when debating and considering vape regulations.

The Lithuanian Seimas (parliament) has finalized a law prohibiting the sale of vaping products in non-tobacco flavors.

The ban will take effect July 1.

On June 30, almost a year after Panama’s National Assembly passed legislation banning vape product sales, Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo gave his assent to the bill. The new law prohibits sales and importation of all vaping and heated tobacco products, with or without nicotine. The law does not criminalize use, but bans vaping in any place where smoking is not allowed. The new law also prohibits internet purchases, and gives customs officials authority to inspect, detain and seize shipments. Resellers are allowed to import banned products meant for export to third countries, according to La Prensa.
