We've been closely following FDA’s announcement of a partial sales ban on flavored nicotine #vaping products and we believe the proposed enforcement action falls short of its stated goal to protect the public's health. ow.ly/AXWT50xMPI3
The most recent evidence shows that mint and menthol are among the most popular #vape products used by youth and although raising the minimum tobacco purchase age is an important step, it is not enough to stem the youth e-cigarette epidemic.
As one of the first states to raise the tobacco purchase age to 21, #Oregon still experienced a nearly 80% increase in youth e-cigarette use from 2017 to 2019. In fact, 1 in 4 Oregon 11th graders report current use of e-cigarettes and #vaping products like Juul.
We continue to work on decreasing the use of all vaping products and implementing @OregonGovBrown's Executive Order 19-09. We are committed to developing strong programs and policies that put protecting Oregon’s kids first.
If you're ready to quit #vaping or other tobacco products, free help is available through the #Oregon Quit Line, a telephone and web-based program that helps youth and adults quit vaping cannabis and nicotine. It offers free confidential, evidence-based counseling and materials.
