Why are these products so addictive?

E-cigarette products are highly addictive. Most would argue that they are more addictive than traditional cigarettes. While early generations of vaping devices contained solutions that were 1% to 2.4% nicotine solutions, it is not uncommon to see most major brands offer a nicotine solution between 4% and 5%. Making them more addictive, particularly for youth, are the abundance of flavors these products have been available in, such as fruit flavors, cotton candy, mint, and more.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is now investigating and keeping track of the rising number of illnesses and deaths that have been associated with the use of e-cigarettes. Vaping-related illnesses have been reported in almost every state in the country. The CDC says that 79% of all vape-related illness patients are under the age of 35. The youngest patient to die from vape-related illness was 17.

Healthcare providers have announced a range of symptoms that people can experience. These can include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Breathing difficulty
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain

There are many popular brands on the market

There are many popular e-cigarette brands available in stores and through online sales. Some of the most well-known brands are Juul and Blu E-Cigs. However, there are many others, including:

  • NJOY
  • Om Vapors
  • Green Smoke
  • Mig Vapor
  • VAIO Vapor
  • Joyetech
  • KangerTech
  • Morpheus E-Cigs
  • V2 Pro
  • Halo Triton
  • VaporFi

The FDA has not done its job

The FDA gained the ability to regulate e-cigarette approximately five years ago but has so far only banned the sale of these products to minors. They do not evaluate anything else about e-cigarettes, including what does into them. E-cigarette companies have until mid-2020 to submit their products to the agency for approval. Until they are approved, companies can continue the unregulated sale of vape products.
