The biggest challenge for the vaping industry after its popularity explosion was always about its abuse and prevention, the vaping industry is still concerned about its abuse by the young generation and for that reason, they have come up with a number of restrictions on its use, some of the restrictions are also based on ethical and moral grounds. We all know that vaping is many times safer than cigarette smoking and according to the latest research that was held by Professor Polosa, the director of the Institute of Internal Medicine and Anti Smoking Centre at the University of Catania, it was held that ECs do not cause any significant damage to the lungs, it was concluded after 3 and a half years study on vapers and non-vapers. This study did not eliminate the fact that vape affects the adolescent brain in its developmental stage and according to US Surgeon General Report nicotine is the major factor that disturbs the growth in the adolescent brain and this fact alone makes the parents worry about their children and their mental health. The recent outburst of the vape industry not only attracted the conventional smokers but the by- product of its successful marketing also attracted the younger people towards it. Vaping is the phenomenon of the time we are living in. The concerned vaping industry also adopted many precautionary measures to stop its abuse by the young ones by adding a restricted age limit and also awareness campaigns about nicotine and its addictive nature but still, the threat of vaping by our younger generation is on the rise and there is the need to take some serious steps to avoid its abuse. This abuse is usually caused by the attractive flavors that are offered in the vapes and the modish sleek designs of these vapes especially JUUL which has become the most rated vape due to its design which attracts the young ones more severely than any other age group. FDA looked into the matter and found out that some of the flavors attracted the young ones more which inclucded mango, gum, chocolate and other fruity flavors. So a shift in policy on vape selling took place. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new guidelines on the selling of different flavors. Now you will not be able to find the fruity flavors like mango in the street side stores and the gas stations because FDA issued a ban on these flavors to be sold on such places and the only place where such flavors can be sold will be vape shops because they follow the age restriction method more accurately than the street stores. As JUUL accounts for 73% of the total market share and it was mostly used by the teenagers so the ban of flavors is imposed on them more severely and they are restricted to sell it only online and registered vape shops to impose effective prevention. So now with these impositions, you will only find these flavors in the registered vape shops just like ours that is ashvapesmoke but the regular flavors like menthol will be available on other places also. #vapefun #USA #Illinois #Chicago #vaping #vapeporn #USAvapers #ashvapesmoke
