By Thomas Schmid When the first e-cigarettes spread on a commercial scale in the early 2000s, the foremost premise was to provide smokers with an alternative to conventional cigarettes whose combustion releases a plethora of harmful chemicals

Then on October 16, 2023, the FDA sent the rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for final review

To calculate grades for each state, the American Lung Association compared state tobacco control policies to targets based on the organization's criteria for effectively curbing tobacco use

Surgeon General issued an advisory declaring e-cigarette use in youth an epidemic, and since then the FDA, the federal government, and many local governments have proposed several restrictions on e-cigarettes including bans on certain flavors to curb youth appeal (see Supporting Public Health Policies to Reduce the Use of Tobacco Products)
