On July 20, according to a report by Vapingpost, nicotine e-cigarettes have once again become the focus of Utah's policy debate. The nicotine limit in e-cigarettes is limited from 5% to 3%. At that time, the only reason this debate will be in full swing again is that the Ministry of Health will focus on the 2020 response. Two years ago, the Ministry of Health reached a compromise with private companies to limit the upper limit to 5%. However, according to reports, this latest initiative is to protect minors from becoming addicted and prevent them from taking nicotine at a young age.

Walter Plumb, a lawyer and chairman of the tobacco control organization Drug Safe Utah, said he supports the Ministry of Health's proposal to reduce nicotine levels to "protect minors." Plumb told KUTV, a CBS affiliated radio station in Salt Lake City, "I care more about our 650,000 children, K-12 in Utah...adolescent addiction really took off." Plumb failed to understand that nicotine levels are helping smokers quit smoking. The role of some activists and experts in reducing the harm of tobacco is different from that of tobacco control lobbying groups.

Steven Greenhut, a resident senior researcher at the R Street Institute, said in a blog: At present, more than 80% of the closed system market in Utah involves products with nicotine content above this level. . The new lower limit is too big. Such strict supervision may encourage e-cigarette users to compensate for the reduction in nicotine levels by participating in more dangerous behaviors. "

It is also illegal to sell e-cigarettes to minors in Utah and across the country.

Utah actually prosecutes individuals who violate the law with misdemeanors and other civil and minor criminal penalties. Despite this, Plum still insists that young people will be exposed to e-cigarettes under epidemic conditions. However, he did not cite further evidence and seemed to ignore the fact that due to effective education campaigns and the impact of the ID-19 pandemic, millions of young people have given up e-cigarettes.
