What are the mortality effects of FDA drug regulation? @Chris_Saenz_ and I explore this using a unique natural experiment—e-cigarettes unexpectedly escaping #FDA drug regulation in 2010. The results may surprise you. 🧵 #EconTwitter #EpiTwitter #NIH #ecig bit.ly/42w4xkGAbstract We compare effects to nicotine replacement therapy (#NRT) that has been consistently regulated as a drug. Essentially, we study mortality effect differences in the introduction of an FDA-approved smoking cessation drug versus the exemption of another. 2/25

🚨New paper alert!🚨 @AFriedmanPhD, @TravisWhitacre, and I use 7 years of #BRFSS survey data to find that e-cigarette flavor restrictions increase young adult daily smoking by 2.2 ppts and reduce daily vaping by 3.6 ppts.



1/4jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-… This high rate of substitution for young adults from e-cigarette flavor restrictions matches findings from e-cigarette taxes as well: .

Cigarettes and e-cigarettes for the young adult population appear highly substitutable.

At last count, #COVID19 has killed nearly 800k Americans over approximately 2 years, or approximately 400k a year. Less well known is that smoking is estimated to kill nearly 480k per year. 1/21 There has been significant media focus on a minority of people with inaccurate beliefs about #masks and #vaccines. Finding ways to persuasively communicate accurate health information to these individuals remains a public health priority. @selenasd @CassSunstein 2/21

🚨New working paper🚨estimating the effect of #ecig taxes on teens authored with @JCMecon, @Courtemanche_CJ, @AboukRahi, @sammsafford, @AFriedmanPhD Dhaval Dave, Joe Sabia, and Bo Feng. #EconTwitter🧵

Paper: cheps.sdsu.edu/docs/e-cig-tax…
Press Release: bit.ly/38rm9B1

1/13 Most scientists believe #ecigs are safer than #cigarettes.

Regulating #ecigs such as with taxes therefore restricts access to a reduced-risk consumer product.

#Ecig taxes may reduce #ecig use, but they could also increase the use of more lethal forms of #nicotine.
