Blue Hole New Consumer Report, December 31 news, according to foreign news reports, three months after the court ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to determine which e-cigarette products can be left on the market, the FDA’s delayed decision makes it suitable for children Flavored e-cigarettes are widely used all over the country, including in Portland.

According to a new report released by the Tobacco Free Kids Campaign, in order to fully protect children, Portland and other cities in Maine should stop selling all flavored tobacco products.

According to a federal court order, e-cigarette manufacturers must submit marketing applications to the FDA before September 9, 2020, and products that apply in time can stay on the market for up to one year. The FDA reviewed the application and the deadline is September 2021. Expires on the 9th. The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and other public health organizations have urged the FDA to reject all marketing applications for flavored e-cigarettes because there is clear evidence that flavored products contribute to the prevalence of e-cigarette use and nicotine addiction among teenagers.

From October 25th to November 1st, retail evaluations were conducted in 43 stores in 8 cities across the country, including Portland. These stores include 28 gas stations or convenience stores and 15 e-cigarette stores in 8 markets (Denver; Detroit); Los Angeles; Portland; Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Tempe, Arizona; and Washington, DC). The store evaluation recorded the availability of best-selling e-cigarette brands, including Juul, Vuse, NJOY, blu, Puff Bar and Bidi, as well as other disposable e-cigarettes and e-liquids.

The main survey results show that Juul is available in all cities, and Vuse, NJOY and blu are available in most cities. Flavored e-liquid has been found in most cities, and its flavors include green apple, cola, peach ring, tropical fruit, strawberry macaron and island orange. Every city has a variety of disposable e-cigarettes, including coconut pineapple smoothie, strawberry ice cream, gummy bears, mango smoothie and Blue Razz Lemonade. The report provides comprehensive survey results, so data for specific cities and specific stores is not available.

The FDA reported that it rejected more than 1 million marketing applications for flavored e-cigarette products. However, for e-cigarette brands with the largest market share or most popular with children, such as Juul, most Vuse products, NJOY, blu, Smok, and Suorin, the FDA has not yet issued a decision. Although menthol products are popular among children, the FDA continues to open the door to the authorization of menthol-flavored e-cigarettes. In addition, more than 40 e-cigarette companies have filed lawsuits to challenge the FDA’s marketing denial order. Other companies-including Puff Bar, the most popular flavored disposable e-cigarette for children now-have tried to evade FDA supervision by using synthetic Nicotine (nicotine is manufactured in the laboratory rather than extracted from tobacco).

The report called on states and cities to continue to step up efforts to terminate the sales of all flavored e-cigarettes and other flavored tobacco products. Given the uncertainty of what and when the FDA will act, the legal challenges FDA's actions face, and the efforts of e-cigarette manufacturers to evade FDA's regulation of synthetic nicotine, state and local actions are as important as ever.

Although the use of e-cigarettes among teenagers has declined from the highest level in history set in 2019, it is still a serious public health problem. According to the 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey, more than 2 million middle school students reported using e-cigarettes in the first half of 2021, although many schools are still closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey emphasized that flavored products are promoting the use of young people, because 85% of young e-cigarette users report using flavored products, of which fruit, candies/desserts/other candies, mint and menthol are the most popular flavors. Indicating the addictiveness of products that currently dominate the market, 43.6% of high school e-cigarette users report frequent use (at least 20 days a month), and 27.6% report daily use.
