Vapes should be sold in standardized, plain packaging to reduce their appeal to children and young people, a new study led by researchers at UCL and King’s College London suggests. The research found that while plain packs significantly lowered the perceived appeal of e-cigarettes among teenagers, they had a minimal effect on adults’ interest in using them as a tool to quit smoking.
Read moreYoung adult smokers aged 18 to 24 who correctly perceive vaping as less harmful than smoking traditional tobacco are more likely to successfully quit cigarettes, according to a new British study published in the Oxford Academic journal, Nicotine & Tobacco Research. The six-year cohort study, which followed over 3,000 young adults in England, provides significant evidence that understanding the relative risks of nicotine products can directly influence healthier behaviors.
Read moreWest Virginia has the highest rate of teen vaping in the United States, with 27.5% of its high school students reporting current e-cigarette use, according to a recent survey by Legacy Healing Center. This figure is nearly 10% higher than the national average of 18.03% and highlights a significant public health challenge for the state.
Read moreFor over a decade, U.S. public health bodies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have often undermined non-pharmaceutical products that could aid in smoking cessation and tobacco harm reduction. This approach is a mistake. Smoking kills, and any tool that helps people reduce or eliminate their use of combustible tobacco—from patches and gums to vaping and nicotine pouches—should be accessible.
Read moreState-level bans on flavored e-cigarettes may inadvertently lead to an increase in traditional cigarette use among young adults, according to a new study published in the journal Health Economics. Researchers found that while these bans successfully reduce vaping among young adults aged 18-24, they also trigger a concerning substitution effect.
Read moreA large-scale review of 52 human studies has provided further evidence that vaping and other non-combustible nicotine products, such as heated tobacco and nicotine pouches, are significantly gentler on oral health than smoking traditional cigarettes. The review, led by German researchers and published in the prestigious Harm Reduction Journal, systematically compared the oral health outcomes of users of modern nicotine products with both cigarette smokers and individuals who use no nicotine at all. While the findings unequivocally show that quitting nicotine entirely remains the healthiest option for gums and teeth, the evidence strongly supports the role of these smoke-free alternatives in reducing oral harm for adult smokers who switch completely.
Read moreMajor vape manufacturers are leveraging global social media accounts to bypass national regulations designed to prevent marketing to young people, according to a new study. The research, which focused on the global Instagram account of Vuse, the world’s number one vaping brand owned by British American Tobacco (BAT), reveals how high-profile sponsorships, influencer collaborations, and stylish lifestyle content are used to promote the brand to a massive global audience, effectively circumventing domestic advertising restrictions in countries like New Zealand.

Vaping prevalence in Quebec has significantly increased since 2020, with a notable surge among young adults and a dramatic shift towards disposable devices, according to a new report from the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ). The findings are based on the 2023 Quebec Survey on Tobacco and Vaping Products, which aims to document the evolution of nicotine consumption following the COVID-19 pandemic and new legislative measures.
Read moreA major new peer-reviewed study has found that e-cigarettes (vapes) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) can reduce a user’s exposure to harmful and potentially harmful chemicals by more than 90% compared to traditional combustible cigarettes. The research, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, provides a comprehensive analysis of empirical data from 15 independent studies, reinforcing the role these smoke-free products can play in tobacco harm reduction for adult smokers.
Read moreCalifornia’s comprehensive ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products has successfully reduced both e-cigarette and traditional cigarette sales within the state without causing a significant surge in cross-border purchases in neighboring states, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health. This research, conducted by a team from the CDC Foundation, Truth Initiative, and the University of Southern California, is the first known formal evaluation of the law’s impact on sales since its implementation.
